ita, both were AU's. The first [link] which had me wondering what-the-hell for a bit before descending into ugliness for all characters involved, and the second was [link] which is a WIP but also ended in highschool ugliness. There's no amount of schmoop or gay panic that can redeem that at a D/C fic. And the first wasn't that great, but then just got gross, with the implied character death and the unwanted (even by Dean) Wincest.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Huh. Normally I quite like the author of the first fic, bauble. I'm reading her Snow Queen fusion right now, and it's quite hauntingly beautiful. Just skimming the one you link to, it looks opaque.
As for the second? Welshiescribble and xlibrarianettex? HELLS NO. Not going near either one of those. Honestly, only kitty_alex's name scares me more up front (or maybe gedry for WTF DNW).
I don't know if I'm going to finish that big bang one. It's just...there's no there there.

Childish characters that actually piss me off?...I think they do relationships childishly, which is a whole different league from pranking and reading comments and playing with toys.
I realize this is entirely a YMMV kind of thing, because I know he has a lot of admirers, but this is how I feel about NCIS's DiNozzo.

I go back and forth on Tony. Sometimes I find it charming, but mostly I think they failed to write him like Dean because he doesn't have a larger purpose (like saving the world or Sam). He just seems sometimes obsessed with an adopted father figure, and it's a lot less rewarding when that father figure acts like a prick.

He's what's kept me from watching NCIS more than occasionally by chance. I suspect if I tuned in regularly my visceral dislike would grow to rival the loathing I felt for Spike in later seasons.

ita, gedry is the one who had manly Castiel squealing like a 15 year old.

gedry has a lot of schmoop D/C with "demons but not like on the show" that I only made it one installment into. I have absolutely no interest in her worldbuilding or characterisation. Welshiescribble is just badfic, and what I've read of xxlibrarianwhatever was totally OOC porn with SPN names pastede on yay.

I'm pretty sure one of the fics got to the point where they had grandkids and then they died of old age. I didn't make it that far. I think I saw something that was like "part 27/?" and bailed. It's not offensive, it's just . . . lots and lots of domestic nothingness.

Extended multi-part curtainfic. Not my thing either. Gimme a case, angst, first time, something. Also, making the boys demons but not like on the show? WTF? Not my thing.
In actual recs, I've mentioned it before, but she's been updating the WIP more frequently now: DA/SPN crossover: Of Desire and the Status Quo. Pretty angsty, and one WIP I didn't mind getting all up into. 36 chapters (not that long) as of right now. She's also the author of a couple good CM crossovers.

Because books.

That sounds like fifteen-year-olds writing wish fulfillment fantasy. Yuck.
