Thanks for the nonrec and taking one for the team. I was about to try it and it's not my kind of story at all, clearly.

There's always the things they do...catch Dean (the dominant one) and investigate the record and they don't meet the pattern of a thrill killer, or a proper mission based killer, maybe they realise the killings stop when they come to town (this story didn't take that step), and then something supernatural happens where the BAU witnesses is and at least one of them becomes a reluctant (or eager, in case of Reid) convert over to their side. In this story, there's a completely random possession by of Prentiss by Meg and exorcism by Anna that has nothing to do with the hunt at hand, but gets Dean out of the questioning room into begrudging trust,

They find Sam, and he's not the brainwashed dope killer, nor the mechanical brains of the business.

I don't mind the formula, honestly. I like the clashes of personality. I like the outside perspective into the Winchester's lives. I like what the boys can see about the BAU, especially Reid and, you know, if one them told Morgan he'd been abused or Hotch he'd been beaten, all the while tipping the chair back in their handcuffs, I'd be so pleased. Read them back, and slip the insight in between flippancies.

This author was not inventive with that particular structure. She takes some of the above notes, and very little conversation involving Sam. Most of the action happens at the cop station, so you don't even have to work for it, and the myth is a but tl;dr. Her physical descriptions are wack. S4 Sam is not 6'6" and noticeably less bulky than Dean. Birthday off, for instance. And that was me skimming.

They are fantastic worlds to have meet but it has to be done well because I really like both shows. Done well it's great. But it's hard to do.

I can never think of crossovers I'd like. I can't imagine where my focus would be, I guess. Especially with a show that has a big cast, paired with Sam and Dean *and* secondary SPN characters.

I did once think a House/Buffy crossover would be fun, or one where House met Dean. The snarkoff could be epic.

I had a long post. Pain meds ate it.

It conflated groups like The DollHouse and Others with Bad Influences. SPN Organised Walls of Angels and Demons were another similarity,

Also crossover with The Mentalist.

aI see the Angels and Demons as akin to Wolfram & Hart & The Dollhouse are very similarly in what they can do for our didenfranchichiseddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd

I saw a Jo/Castiel, Buffy/John that made me run screaming, and in fact made it take five minutes minimum was because I feared an orgy wasrotdoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]ddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]

I'm leaving that last post, and calling it time for bed.

I really hope they killed the pain because, yeah, they bonked your brain. Sleep and sleep well.

yes, bed. I hope tomorrow is better.

I really really want Neal Caffrey and Dean Winchester to meet. I'm not sure who should outwit whom, but I know I want there to be outwitting.

Also, I have no idea if I used who/whom correctly.
