it's hard to sell me on Dean wanting to make it work with Lisa, if only for Ben's sake, when the only scenes you show me are the two of them, post-breakup, arguing or distant.

I think this is sort of what I meant conversations ago. I don't think I've read many fics where she wasn't either a vague mention, or they were already on the outs, and she was just being hurried off screen as quickly as possible so the smexing with Cas could get started.

I also prefer the fics where he's sleeping on the couch or in the guest room and never tried to start something romantic with her. And unless the author sells me on Dean having feeeeelings for her, it just comes off as cold and death-wish obligatory, and makes me scratch my head over her. And the emotional state he must be in, I can't see some big romantic passion springing up.

I've idly toyed with the idea of going back and rereading as well, with the whole "knowing how it ends". But I've got too many tabs of unknown quantities of badfic to peruse.

Amy, I am proud of you for sitting through it too. For my part the warnings to not watch Devour are those of not wanting loved ones to be in pain. Don't touch the hot stove, don't run into the street, don't watch Devour. I just found Stonehenge Apocalypse silly and watched with delight to see what Misha would do next.

Misha, Misha, Misha. One day he blew open the doors for his entrance, and the world has never been the same. His gratitude and enjoyment of this attention is a pleasure to watch. Now I'm curious to see how far he will run.

Now I'm curious to see how far he will run.

I loved that he set the outer limit of his run at 100 kilometers.

I just read bad minibang fic where Dean is to become God. Is this a thing now?

What's the significance of 100 km? Other than really really far.

Julie, which story is that? I'm not reading another one where that happens. It's just ludicrous.

He just said 10-100km, and one would sponsor /km. So that way you know what the upper cost will be.

People are writing stories where Dean becomes GOD ?!

Come ON.

Seriously? Man, people are just . . . odd.

I need something to read while I eat dinner, since all my books are packed (oops). Was Season Ticket on a One-Way Ride good?

I know there was one other I was supposed to read and ita told me to wait and read it properly instead of skipping to the sex, and now I can't remember which one it was.

The God fic is Fortune est Absolute, posted today for the minibang. It's an atrocious read. I started with the skimming a page in just to see where the f*** it was going.

Am now rewatching Brick after a commenter on the scaramouche story compared it, to see if I can see end!Cas in JGL's character.

It's not the first! There was a main bang one where that happened to Dean too. It was going pretty well, I think, and then BLAMMO. Just ridiculous.

Amy, that fic was this: Immigrant Song by Trinityofone. She definitely rates reading the whole thing.

Dammit, Julie, I think that's the one I've already started. It's so bad grammar and spelling-wise, but I was sticking with it, because I thought she was kinda cute. I don't see how she gets from where I am now to God, though.
