Oh,I can fill you in quick enough on Hunger Games, ita. It's an excellent YA book, with a sort of Running Man thing going on in a dystopian world. Really, really good.
Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

Hunger Games is SO GOOD. I'm off to find that fic now. Jeez the weekend fic reading is stacking up.

I still need to read Catching Fire, ehab. I tore through Hunger Games like I was possessed, though. Loved it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aha. That explains the mentions of reapings in her snippet, then. I will hit you up for a primer when the story gets posted.

No worries for the weekend! That's her D/C BB, so it's only a snippet so far.

Yeah, there's a "Lottery" element to the beginning, and then it goes to this survival game. It's actually perfect for a fusion.

That explains why I couldn't find it. Amy, the second book was the same. I read it all night. I'm waiting impatiently for the third. I cannot believe how compelling those books were. YA fiction is not like what it was when I was YA.
Another YA trilogy that is dark, brutal and utterly compelling that I'm wait impatiently for the third book is "A Resurrection of Magic".
Back to SPN/DA fic.

Know what fusion I want? And it would be a totally indulgent excuse for porn? A Kushiel's Dart one. All the "iel" names in it keep throwing me back to angels, never mind them actually being called Angelines. The idea of Castiel as a professional courtesan who perceives pain as pleasure? GOLD MINE.
I'd eat that up with a spoon.

A Kushiel's Dart one.
I tried to read that and just couldn't wrap my head around the politics and the levels of society. I wanted so much to like it, but fantasy that ... far out, for lack of a better word, just isn't my thing.
I amused myself in the shower the other day (HOLD ON, keep reading) by fusing SPN into It's a Wonderful Life. Except I made Anna into Clarence, and Cas into Mary, just for fun.

My problem with Kushiel's Dart is that it's so damned overwrought. Everyone is so lovely and everything is so lush. It's like the entire universe is a Mary Sue, to abuse the term.
But I'm re-reading it anyway. It's also not as hot as I'd remembered, but I'm gonna give it time.
Still, HOOKERAUFIC. I loves me some of that. Someone should write.
eta: I don't know if I've ever seen It's A Wonderful Life all the way through.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Hmmm, fusion fics that might be interesting...
First one that pops to mind is 28 Days Later. With Dean as Jim and Cas as Selena. Although with the name Jim and the Cillian Murphy thing, ita might argue for the other way around.
Or maybe Red River, with John as Dunson and Dean as Garth.
