Not sure what puts me off about White Collar other than demonising El in order to get Neal and Peter together.
Oh hell no. Even if you're not going OT3, you have to handle El carefully.
I have not yet delved into S/G. I'm a little skeered.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

I ran across some S/G that worked really well for me, so I went hunting for more. Turns out that just about all the S/G I've found not by the first author makes me roll my eye by the third paragraph. Gabriel killed Sam's brother many many many times. Sam's not just gonna be all, "Eh, tricksters. What can you do?" and get his archangelic freak on. Nor am I buying Gabriel shmoop. So, back to Library of Sol for me. Good thing she's so productive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think I have any of that, do I?
I didn't see any, no.
I bumped into one elsewhere and it had me screaming for Hardison. It was just wrong. PWP I could handle, I think. Twoo Wuv? Yuck.
I have read S/G that amused me, but for some reason too much of the D/C I've come across recently has decided to give Sam his own widdle angel, and it's kinda dismissive more than anything else. I actually take D/C pretty emotionally seriously, and like you say, Calli, there are ooh, a couple issues there with Gabe's history with Sam. It's hard to put them both on the same level.
I've read some Library of Sol. I will go back and look.

I didn't see any, no.
Oh good. I'd hate to bump into it accidentally.
I've decided I'm on a mission to get through my massive to read set this summer. I don't know if I can, especially after the new tv gets set up, but I knocked out 5 or so yesterday.

Speaking of Library of Sol, I just checked my bookmarks, and she wrote some Sam/Chuck that was pretty...interesting. I never would have gone there.

Huh. Yeah, that pairing would not have occurred to me. Now I kinda want to check it out.
I think got into Library of Sol through her Sam/Gabriel-ish text messages fic.

Yeah, she's got the only Sam/Gabriel I bookmarked. It was cracky and funny. Consolation prize S/G is just messing with my Dean/Castiel OTP.

This discussion is not helping me on my quest to cut down on my to read set.
Oh well.

Have you met me and my reading habits? I am never going to help anyone cut down any to-read list.

Given that more than half of my to read list came from you, well duh.
