Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.
I'm subscribed to Lite and I'm still not sure who's coming back next season.
Okay, snuck away at lunch and read the BB story. It's total D/C. I mean, it's not about one thing other than the relationship. I...I can't believe I wanted something more. Higher emotional stakes, maybe. Or more story. Or more action, of either sort. It ended kind of abruptly, although I guess it was at a reasonable emotional point for the characters.
I was just left feeling kind of empty.
It was a very quick read, because the author sticks pretty close to canon, and reuses a lot of dialogue.
Was the sex good at least?
Enhh. I liked the emotions more than the actuality of it.
I think I'll skip it, then. I have that gen one to read still.
It did make me curious to see how much of the Dean/Cas dialogue I remembered. Some of it made me wonder. I'm up on my S5, but I may have to rewatch S4. Oh noes.
It's a very untaxing read, but that's because it's unimaginative. She (assumption there) just slid extra UST (not hard to do) inbetween scenes, tossed in thoughts and motivations after scripted lines, and didn't add that much to canon--a sex scene and some canoodling, really.
I do more heavy lifting than that just watching the show.
Though it is interesting to see where people decide that they consummate the relationship. So many people pick after 5x03 or 5x04, if they wait until season 5.
I have a problem setting it in S4 because of what happens with Cas's faith, and his decision to stick with the angels until Lucifer Rising.
I think before that it would be have been too early for him -- too much of a distraction, a transgression -- if not for Dean.
My favorite thing is actually setting it in the future, post S5, which ... I have to do in my head.
I love the fics that have them sexing after 4x01. So on the ball. I can see it happening at a couple points in S4--between On The Head Of A Pin and The Rapture, for instance, resulting in the need for him being raptured. And of course, post smiting in 4x22 is another snogfest.
I do more heavy lifting than that just watching the show.
Ha!
