I thought you had the option to not purchase right away with iTunes (eta: aha--the wish list functionality is what they have now)...not that I exercise it--I want right away, and I really like the whole not doing extra click thing. The idea of any given vendor paying Amazon for that irks the shit out of me.

They want me to pay 30% more to use the damn music I am already buying, it irks me

No, they don't. For 99¢ there is no DRM. I think $1.29 gets you higher audio resolution.

This story: Blind Spot is rated for sex. Does anyone know the pairing? I really don't want surprise Wincest.

No, they don't. For 99¢ there is no DRM.

Ha! I've been pissed for the wrong thing. Which happens more than I'd like.

If I am just buying one thing, I don't care about a shopping basket option. But if I am buying a lot and haven't decided which precisely I want, I do. A wish list would fix that, kinda.

Okay, I am open to the idea of iTunes again next time I need something.

Does anyone know the pairing?

Don't know yet, but I like it so far. I did a quick skim through the author's fic. Looks like various het pairings when s/he does warn for them.

Okay, found the master fic list (I've gotten spoiled with this new trend of having a sticky master list) and here's the description there: (NC-17, Gen — Dean, Sam, Meg, Jo, Bobby, mid S3 AU) [link] In fact, all the fic there is labelled as either gen or het. So there's that.

Gen? Huh. Okay. The fic headers say sex, so I hope she doesn't traumatise my snowflake self. Go het, yay het.

I've only ever read The Axeman, and that was gen with delicious whump.

I've decided that I really don't care for H/C. If only because that seems to predetermine that that's all the fic is about. I like to wallow a bit, but it's more of a desire to see the whump actually have an effect, but then I want the story to keep going. Which is why Thursday's Child is still such a satisfying read for me (am working through it right now, AIFG!). Whump! Consequences! Next! For me the hurt shouldn't be the neglible stepping stone to get to the comfort. I want it to be the shit they have to go through during the course of the story, with lasting effects, but not bringing the story to such a standstill that the comfort is the conclusion. I want the comfort to be a stepping stone, too, if it's even there. I don't need the pain to be a big meaningful thing. Sam gets punched in the face? Dean gets cracked ribs? Just mentioning it that it hurts to eat or breathe is enough to make me happy. I don't need groping over every cut.

It depends on the comfort, for me. Sometimes, with the amount of hurt, the comfort is nigh magical, and it doesn't work for me. Especially when it's healing cock. And some writers, like K Hanna Korossy, write within one continuity and heap more hurt on our boys than they will ever recover from. Canon does a pretty harsh job as is, people. You can't hammer them again once per episode and still have me think they're functional human beings. No matter how much they hug each other afterwards.

I need more weechester fic. I have to go check summergen.

ita, you're safe through part 4: OFC.

I feel like I might've linked this before [link] but this came up on my playlist and I thought it very Dean. Or Sam. Or Cas.

"You fight evil, with all you do... it makes me lay here and love you".

The "terrified" bit puts me in the Dean-song frame of mind, though. Cas to Dean, maybe.

Even if there weren't seatbelts originally, I have no trouble buying John putting them in for the boys' safety.

eta: umm...which is a comment that made a lot more sense in the context of when I originally wrote it.

I don't recall ever seeing the action of fastening or unfastening seatbelts in the car.

They're rebels, our Winchesters!
