I know there is some out there, JZ, but for the life of me can't recall where. I reckon
Yuletide
would be a good place to go looking, though.

(x-posted with Dana): Nope, I stand corrected - just checked it out and there's none. But I'm sure I've read some at some point - not brilliant, but not bad. Damn. I'll have a look around.
A friend of mine has a couple of SA fics here.
"Hand of Sorrow" fits the subject of one of your wonderings fairly well.
So, in case you're interested and not on LJ, I have committed SPN fic:
here and here.
Largely All About Castiel, because I think he's fab. But the next one's about Ruby, once I've finished it.
OOH, I'd missed the first one somehow. LOVE
You guys - who coined this phrase: "Do not meddle in the affairs of slashers, for you are cute and go well with other men?"
I'm wanting to say Shrift, or possibly Connie? Or has it just been a fannish phrase since the dawn of time, and it was just that I heard it first from one of them and thought it was an original shaft of wit?
I think it derives from "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup."
No, I don't know where that one comes from either.
Aha! Thank you, Google. Google says "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." comes from Tolkein, so I'd bet everything else is a descendant of that.
I'm thinking Connie.
As in me? I don't think so, but I'll be happy to claim it.
