I kind of wish they'd touched on the omnipresence of Death. I mean, thousands of people die every day all over the world (not to mention all the other places throughout the cosmos that Death implied in "Two Minutes to Midnight"); clearly Dean was just getting a brief and narrow view of the responsibilities.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, Rockstarpeach.
She's still on my mind.
I like her story, because I'm okay with stories where they're meant to be together (I mean, they really like each other), even if it doesn't happen. So she's stabbing me in the heart, but not in a back-clicky way. I adore the sort of porn she's writing, because it's very character-driven. And I like the idea that Dean is more into it than he is willing to admit, and that Cas is more open-eyed about what's going on. Relatively speaking. The way he handles it I'm chalking up to a result of the human part of the AU. Also, amping up the drama.
They might be my OTP, but they don't have to be happy together. I really don't need that for Dean, like, ever. Enjoy, I can. Need, no. (cf why I don't read him with Lisa. She needs happier endings than I like)
Also the porn is porny and long. Mmm, yes.
Still, she better finish it soon, and finish it satisfyingly, or else...there will be bitter words on the internet.
Nanoochka I'm a little more distanced from, but she's clearly bought into my OTP whatever she does with the story. So, you know, I'll finish it out.

I'm not reccing this because it's good (though it's not bad). I'm reccing it because Dean is a waffle.
Oh, and another thing about Rockstarpeach's AU--I usually hate it neither brother is straight, but it really works for me in this one. For some reason, I'm digging big gay Sammy.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm reccing it because Dean is a waffle.
I wasn't sure if you were being literal, so I clicked.
You were.

Because books.
The author's note at the bottom is the best part of that.

That was hilarious. Castiel was just so...Castiel, even as whipped topping.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Suggestion - when the hellatus is over (or even sooner), do you think we could move fanfic discussion over to the fanfic thread? Didn't we separate things out when we had the various Jossverse threads?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I've wondered that. It feels like most of the chatter in here is fic and, yay, thriving fic but if there is this much fic talk, perhaps the fic thread would work? I worry I miss show talk inbetween the fic talk I am skimming.

I could see fic recs and notices that the X/Y Big Bang will start posting in February going here, but maybe the actual discussion/squee/gnashing of teeth could go over in fic. I have the same worry about discussions getting missed/overshadowed.
Also, though I hate to admit it, and I'm not sure why this is happening, a number of things that others find squee-worthy in fic are things that are starting to make me less than comfortable.
