He and Dean had hugged nearly every single time one or other of them had come back from the dead!

Ha ha ha ha.

One of those hooker fics went wincest-y in the sequel. I was unprepared for that and didn't look at the warnings.

ehab, if it's the one I'm thinking of that's why I didn't link the sequel in my post. But it was linked at the bottom of the first story, so if you were reading along and clicked on it unsuspecting it would have taken you there. I tried really carefully not to list anything that could be construed as wincest or daddykink on that list.

I just re-edited the list to add a note that the sequel to the story is wincest.

Thanks. Yeah the Plei recs are great. Bob is fine for my mood.

Amy, warn a person. Cartography hurts my heart.

...nothing to see here. Moving on.

If Cartography doesn't hurt your heart, you have none. That's what I think.

The same can be said for The Thousand Ways to Bleed for me.

I have some buttons that are very, very specific but bulletproof.

You know, it takes me out of the story a little bit when pre-Rapture fics explain Castiel's host. Eh, what can you do?

But it strikes me that almost unanimously authors picked a more troubled host than Kripke did--picked someone in a religious crisis (gay, maybe) or dying or drug-addicted. Very few fics I've read picked a host who had what seemed to be a solid family life, leaving behind a wife and family.

That's messed up, Eric.

I'm blaming Edlund for that particular piece of messed up. I'm sure Kripke HELPED, mind you.

It's good writing because it provides conflict, though. It would be convenient to pick someone who found faith because they were dying or had nothing left to lose.

I think the tragedy with Jimmy is that he was simply a faithful man and a believer, but being *chosen* made him feel special. He consented, but he didn't really have any idea what he was signing up for. By the time he had a chance to go home, he was more than ready -- but then he had to save his family, which meant giving them up.

The bloodline stuff intrigues me. It implies heredity plays as big a role as choice. It's all kinds of disturbing to think about.

What made Jimmy's kid say yes?

Also, in S1, when Bobby first told us about demons possessing humans it was implied demons could exist without possession. We haven't seen that have we?

Anna re-made was arguably an Angel without a host which makes me wonder why they don't all form themselves instead of taking a host.

There should be a DNA test to determine if you're in the angel bloodline. I'd totally take it and not procreate if I was in the bloodline.
