Finished the first western fic, it went wrong the instant Dean had a mustache. And between the setting/culture and the parlance, Dean and Cas didn't map. The prose was pretty enough, but as an AU, it didn't work (I want more of aesc's "Beneath Skyscrapers" where Dean is a detective and the supernatural is normal and angels work with the police, awesome world-building).
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Ooh, that sounds awesome. I'll have to hunt that down (although I will ask, what are the pairings, if any?)

Oops, it's "Below Skyscrapers", not "beneath" [link]
It's eventual D/C. But, my goodness, the world-building!

I have ADD. I'm now torturing myself reading about Dean and Sam as gladiators, except the author chose to change their names. You can tell Gauis is Sam because he whines and Lucius gets all the chicks. And it's over 28 chapters long. Why, Julie, why?

Ooh. Thanks for the link. I'm a sucker for good worldbuilding.

My biggest complaint with that fic is that aesc awesomely went and made Victor Dean's parnter, but then didn't do much with him.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just finished reading her series that she remixed for big bang. She did some poignant Weechesters and damaged Jimmy Novak.

Oh, thanks, Plei! I'm not in love with the musical choice, but the visuals have made me fall in love with Castiel all over again. I especially like how she cut the end.
