My sons' hair was only a shade or two in intensity apart. StE was white-blond at birth and his hair darkened. StY had black hair, which fell out and grew back medium to light brown. When they were 4-ish to 8-ish, their hair was a similar shade, but StY's always had a brown, golden, richer tone--not red-blond, but light brown. StE's always had a greyish, dirty-blond tone, definitely blond. Even sunbleached in summer, there was a definite, detectable difference, and it was tone, not shade.

I am in the brownette camp. Simplifies things.

Of course, my other reaction to that outfit was "Oh look! Misha borrowed one of Gerard's outfits", and then I realized I needed an AU where the MCR boys get stuck trying to help the Winchesters, and conversations between Gerard and Castiel.

Oh, that's why that picture doesn't creep me out but still pinged me somewhere.

And I would like to read this AU. Act surprised.

I imagine if I'd been a hunter all my adult life and only recently had things hunting me in turn – particularly things like Meg that could look like anybody – it'd make a big difference in my level of relaxation during downtime.

Sam sleeps in sleep clothes under the covers, doesn't he? At least usually? He was fully dressed too in Dark Side Of The Moon, but that could have been drunken passing out.

I chalk up Dean's constant state of go-go-go (yet constant need for alcohol) to post-hell trauma. He can't wind down without forcing himself, and even then, it's really badly done.

Earlier in the season -- Free To Be, You and Me -- he was in a T-shirt and track pants, and shirtless in track pants, under the covers. I'm trying to remember if we saw him sleeping after that, aside from DSotM.

Theoretically he might have been living a non-hunterly life in Free To Be, You and Me, which was he was all cozied up for sleep.

I have no interest in the story because it's Wincest, but I clicked through to the art, and it made me laugh: Whisper of the Heart. Pictures totally innocent including one handholding.

Also, the art for Gunmetal Dawn is way cool.

Like vids, I find it very distracting with photo manips when I can't tell the source of the images. Which isn't a problem I have here, but it makes me think of it. It came up in the D/C vid from upthread.

Random guest star news -- Alona Tal is on this week's episode of "Leverage," and she gets to sing and more importantly to kiss Christian Kane. (So it's like when buffistas and SPN collide, on an entirely different show.)

Oh for the love of.... I just read fanfic that repeatedly describes Dean's eyes as "viridian" and Castiel's as "bright, hot lapis pools." I must now go apply the brain bleach.

"Bright, hot lapis pools." Good god.

On the sleeping issue, Mystery Spot is on, and even when Sam goes paramilitary scary after Dean dies for real, he sleeps in sleep clothes under the covers.

But Sam is so frightening in the second half, I feel like there's a Chuck Norris joke in there somewhere.

When people are writing Sam/Dean are they as obsessive about eye colour as they are with D/C? Because those stories are often crazy. But the one you cite, Morgana, especially so.
