It's a cowardly shitty thing to do, and I think it spoils her character. But nothing she's done in this story makes any sense.

Cas died in Lucifer Rising, I'm assuming he died in The End (this one is a bit of a stretch, yes, and is mostly fanon, but it seems right that no one made it out of the asylum alive), and Swan Song.

Everything That Matters is one where TheEnd!Cas prays for a second chance to do it over as he lays dying and gets sent to the past post-Swan Song and finds Dean. I found myself shouting "Condoms! STDs! Withdrawal!" and hankering for TC.

So far, there's only been one encapsulated chapter with Jensen/Misha. So far I've been bored by the time spent on their childhood (no building up to be in love, they just are) and then a fairly ridiculous breakup, and then both of them being assholes as they go on a date when one of them is involved. I don't know if the RPS will rear it's head again, it was so random, and I don't see a point to it returning. I'll let you know, ita.

I like to think he made it out of The End, and goes clean. It's the only possible positive thing to wring out of that scenario.

I haven't read Everything Matters. It looked enh to me.

RPS = real people sex?

Pretty much, Laga. Real Person Slash.

Damnit, Cas died in The End! Cas surviving everyone in a post-apocalyptic world is Not Happy. It makes Julie sad to think such things. Okay, now I want the fic speculating what happens after.

Oh god, so apparently the RPS is Cas writing a novel. This is the scholarly endeavor this AU Cas has been working on, really?

I'm still annoyed at the idea that this epic romance broke up because they couldn't survive on letters or email, and that despite the cost of college, the families couldn't foot the bill for a plane ticket once or twice a year. What's a couple hundred bucks against a mutli-thousand dollar college tuition, plus the cost of finding housing for the summer, or paying to keep housing for the summer. I need better obstacles, people! Especially if you want me to believe this epic romance got deterred because of them.

Eh, I could have lived without it, the Once, Again, Always fic. The narrative was wonky, and I really wasn't sold on the obstacles. I mean, if the characters are declaring their undying love for each other, you don't just mention the one's insecurity in passing, it's a big fucking issue. And one they should have been dealing with the whole while, not just in passing in a late flashback. Oherwise they just look silly.

And the RPS was just gratuitous. Cas' novel fictionalizing his and Dean's romance could have been handled differently without alienating readers. Another fic worked it with the story being about Donna and Samantha, no need to go the Misha/Jensen route.

sausage pie: Suh- weeeeet! Archie baby is failbanging! No crises of time management for me!

Failbanging? Whut?

He's bowing out of the DCBB.

This is the part where I PANICKED!

He decided he'd rather post it finished late, at a pace better suited to his RL, than on time and rushed and flawed. And I have to say, I wish more of the writers had opted for this.

Of COURSE Sam and Dean made this list. ::nods::
