I think it's also the newness (to D/C fic) of the situation. 1) that Cas would be so willing and casual and eager about sex, and 2) that it's consensual, casual, complication-free het sex and 3) the voyeurism element. That's a big refreshing change to the usual bump and grind. And new is hot.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Having doublechecked? Yeah, still find it way hot.
I hadn't thought of it as a thing, but there is one other D/C fic (Infinite For A Moment). I think I definitely like that moment on Dean's path--and it's certainly way hotter than the usual now that Dean thinks about it, he's jealous about Castiel with someone. Plus, as you note, it is nice and fresh to see some het sex up in there. Makes such a change for the pairing, naturally.
Now, if people could work out a way to put M/M/F threesomes in D/C fic, I'd be quite cheerful. But I have no good suggestions. I'll just know it when I see it.

Because books.
Oh, now I want to skip ahead and just read the sex, but that's not very disciplined. I think I'm too tired to get through two and a half chapters tonight, though.

Behave! The fic is well enough done that you should read it all the way through the first time. Rest up and have at it tomorrow.

Geez. Yes, ma'am.
(I'm glad it's well done enough to wait, though. The description makes it look good, and I haven't read anything that I could really sink my teeth into a while.)

The one sex scene in Tigerland is almost clinical and off-hand, while simultaneously being graphic and in your face, but the movie is quite good. Colin Farrel and Cole Hauser are stellar in it.

Grr. I thought I'd be reading a nice, perhaps intense story big bang about the brotherly bond, and instead it's layers of angst with some douche!John on top.
::sigh::
My lunch break put me in an unhappy place. I should probably read the trinityofone story again when I get home.

I hate douche!John stories. And I really need to find the time to read that trinityofone story. I hate it when life gets in the way of fic.

To hell with life! It's not worth it!
(My sister recommended I take a break from the internet. I told her I was too busy reading fic for other people--INCLUDING HER--she still thinks I'm weird)
Immigrant Song is the only story other than the zombie apocalypse one that I wholeheartedly rec from the big bang. There hasn't been much within my non RPF and J2 parameters of high quality.

I really liked Immigrant Song. It was just so tightly written!
