If I can't handle the smattering of other End!verse fics out there, I doubt I can handle Luminous.
Way to hang a flag on it.
Seriously, Show got by just fine with just having it arise unremarked-upon
Joyce: You don't think it's too obvious? I think I look like I have a cat on my head. Buffy: But a very well groomed cat. Joyce: Well that's a comfort.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore Endverse fics (although I have to space out my reading), and Luminous was appalling to me. So definitely steer clear.
I went through that author's other Dean/Castiel, and she reuses a line of Dean dialogue in Luminous. Hmmph. I like her BAMF Cas, though, so I will definitely read other things she writes. And she did schmoop the hell out of the comfort part of the h/c. But still, the damage she had to do to our boy to get there...
Okay, so I might read the comfort part again sometime. Whatever. Don't judge me.

Because books.
What exactly is Luminous about?

Lucifer possesses Jimmy Novak and pretends to be Castiel and leads Dean far astray. Like, real far. PTSD, Stockholm syndrome, the whole deal. I had to skim bits because I didn't want to imagine all that trauma.

Oh, holy mother of crap. Yeah, no thanks.

I peeked, I couldn't help it, so I bring some sweet schmoop for the first time Dean says "I Love You" to erase my own and others trauma: [link]

After three parts, I have to admit the whole thing feels kind of rushed.

Hee. I offer up some crack too. I'm not even telling you the title: [link]
Then I read the remix: [link] and it punched me in the gut.
So now I gotta go re-schoop. Or at least porn up.

I have to say, I'm just glad she didn't write more of the hurt. And the comfort? It's weird. Cute. But weird. But enough? I'm not thinking so.

Luminous, Plei?
I just found awesome non-AU RPS! I think it's hysterical that all the non-AU stuff now includes Gen and Danneel. Imaginary happy group sex for the win!

Okay, I'm up for ita's crack after this line alone: " What is his rate of success ?"
