Yeah, Luminous. It fails to actually earn either the hurt or the comfort. The plotting is choppy, the characterization is forced at best, and it feels more like a first draft than anything complete. Still, she used the correct form of rein in free rein.
Now you can luxuriate in a nice jail cell, but if your hand touches metal, I swear by my pretty flowered bonnet, I will end you.

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was startled at the reveal of more of the hurt that was revealed during the putative comfort part of the story. I thought I'd successfully skimmed past that. I felt the hurt pretty fairly well earned (okay, my skimming has been admitted to, but still), but there was magical healing for sure. For all the damage Dean was showing, there wasn't enough therapy in the world. Even after having recovered from Alistair.

Always worth at least one point.

I live for the h in h/c. This told me the hurt with minimal show for what it was. No gruntle for me. Hmph!

Plei, you are so bottomless! They killed orphan babies. OMG. I totally fail to see how Castiel's tongue fixes that.

Oh, I also offer up this by the same author that remixed the crack and hurt my feelings: Five Lessons Dean Tries Teaching Castiel for Winchester Family Bonding based on the premise that Castiel pulled John out of Hell instead. But it's D/C. Because Jostiel would be all sorts of wrong (I have read it, and it scalded my delicate eyes).

The Family Bonding one was cute, but I really liked the other two you linked earlier, ita. Although the remix was incredibly hurty. Especially the end! That ... really came out of nowhere.

One gut punch of hurt, no comfort. Blammo. Off to read all the D.C by those authors,,,extending the web.

Juliebird, that "I Love You" fic was ADORABLE.
And I'm weirdly turned on by the whole grown men playing with fireworks thing.

I get just the barest hint of what is felt on killing the orphan babies, or during the period of captivity, or really most of it! there's no emotional connection between me and what's happening! I'm not horrified, I'm ROLLING MY EYES! It is the WRONG RESPONSE!
This, umm. May explain HOW it is that I'm capable of endlessly reading not very good stuff. BTW.
That remix was... yeah. PAIN. And with the nice grounding in stuff we've seen on screen. MRPH. GIMME!
