The thing about this story, ita, is that she could remix it so easily without the 'cest, which is minimal, really. It's about them needing each other and their history and the ways they're tied together, and her characterization of them is so incredibly sharp, it's just shuddery-happy.
On the whole, though, I agree with you -- I haven't even found many Wincest Big Bangs I've enjoyed. I also haven't tried too many, I'll admit, but I don't want AU and I don't want evil!Sam, so.
That was FANTASTIC. I want to hold it and pet it and name it George.
I know what I'll be doing this evening.

Not helping the jealousy!
I'm about to read the D/C with noncon, hoping I can skim those bits. I'm not optimistic. But I need stuff to read.
I'm sorry! I'm still in that glowy yet jealous place myself, though, all "I'm unworthy!" because she just writes so beautifully.

anastdean on LJ has capped In My Time of Dying. She does frequent picspams, and is a touch too fond of PS, but there are some closeup caps in there I've never seen before. Definitely not dialup friendly, though work-safe. And be warned, the whole right side of her page is animated gifs, classic moments, and worth a look, definitely. But possible page load issues. Here.
Oh, ass of Sam. Thank you, Sail.
Hee. I wasn't sure if that had been posted here or not, it popped up on my friends list on LJ and I just had to share.
Two more things that fic writers don't need to include:
1) "I was named after the angel of Thursday. My parents were very religious."
2) "Huh, I wonder why I just suddenly started calling this guy 'Cas'?"/"Dean! Why did you give Castiel a nickname?!"/"What did you just call me?"
"Huh, I wonder why I just suddenly started calling this guy 'Cas'?"/"Dean! Why did you give Castiel a nickname?!"/"What did you just call me?"
OMG YES. I'm a bitch for the moment where Dean first calls him Cas, every time, but stop calling it out so much, people.
I especially hate "Castiel is a dumb name, I'ma call you Cas instead." Urgh, guys. Way to hang a flag on it.
