No mystery why Sam says yes to Lucifer and his burn-it-all-down approach in that scenario.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Anne, I loved your rec. Exactly the sort of story I love. I want them around in some form or other to enjoy and poke a little fun at their own legend.
Matt, do you have a link, or possibly breadcrumbs, to yahtzee's goodnight moon story?
I suspected switching wasn't really the norm, but my egalitarian little heart still likes the idea. I really strongly resist the notion that one's position, preferred or not, in bed dictates one's place in a relationship. I have no patience with wimpy women in romance stories. I have less patience with writers who turn either male in a gay romance into a person with no will or motivation of his own.

Absofuckinglutely.
In other news, I made a new SPN icon last night:
That's awesome!

That's a really wonderful story. It's hitting on some issues I've been dealing with for a while now. Thank gods for fic, you know? A way to work out your psychological shit without actual bloodshed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha, Matt!
I *adore* architwhatsis. I just wish he had a username I could spell. I disagree with some of the stuff he says (bah, heteronormative! bah, gay crisis Dean (sometimes yes, but I don't need it)!), but I love the way he says it, and I'd probably read his version of the phone book, because it would have interesting power plays between each digit.
Catching up on my DCBB reading. Janie_tangerine is so cute. I like her romantic ideals. She comes close to over-schmoops, but she's always palatable to me. And ESL to boot. Faraway, So Close, a Wings of Desire AU.
Finished Crossing The Sea. Man, talk about awesome!Sam. And lots of brotherly love. Plus sexy sexing.
In general, and not directly related to either of those fics, if Castiel showed up to Dean at the end of S5 and said "Dean, I'm in love with you and I'm going to become mortal out of love of you, okay?" I'd like to think he'd have a shitfit and disappear or guilt himself into a really uncomfortable place.
It's really going to take some work to get him to the place where I think he's going to accept that sort of sacrifice, and some romantics jump there way too soon. I'm perfectly happy with him having to be effectively tricked into it, and if we make it out of the fic without him saying he loves Castiel, I can still see a happy ending.
I can still see him wanting forever, before he makes that particular leap of personal growth.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Faraway was sweet. It could have ended so badly, but was definitely a happy-place fic.
Really like Crossing the Sea.
There was a fic awhile back where it comes out that Cas loves Dean, and Dean asks point blank that if they consumate, would Cas Fall. Cas says yes. Dean denies himself and says not interested. Totally hurty and wonderful. Wish I could remember the fic. Must be haruslex.
