This and its sequel, linked at the end, are pitch perfect for the Castiel, and the Dean and Sam in relation to him and each other, that I see. It's not porn, it's not hot--well, not physically. I find it...intellectually hot?
Amy, did you find the picture Theresa was speaking of? It's from Yellow Fever, although she's reversed it for her banner. This is the cap, from here, and here's a grab of her banner, on her LJ page, here.
I love caps from that end scene from Yellow Fever. It was filmed around the same time as the Red Bull race thing, and apparently Vancouver was at its Indian Summer most beautiful at that point: quality of light, angle of the sun--no rain!
Oh Bev, unoshot's stories are so good, and so gen with this underlying tension/depth/*something* that is delicious. I'm so said that she basically retired from ficdom/fandom/whatever.
She doesn't marginalize/trivialize Sam in order to highlight Cas' relationship to or with Dean, which a lot of D/C shippers do.
I've always known that as much as I read and enjoy the porn, my heart belongs to character development and interplay. Give me good character and I'll follow you anywhere.
which a lot of D/C shippers do
Really, not so much. There's a powerful awesome!Sam movement I've noticed, but other than having him skydive at random moments, even the mediocre stuff acknowledges Dean's priorities, if not makes it a plot point.
Badfic I can't speak for, since I try and and avoid it.
PWP I sure as fuck hope sidelines the hell out of Sam in a D/C fic (although when he bookends it, that's okay).
The vidder (Loki) who did the Cas vid I [didn't] linked to above made a pretty cool vid/promo leading up to next Friday: [link]

Not a fan of voyeur!Sam with his hands down his pants, huh?
Yeahno.
Oh, so the latest on Play Turns Bitter: is it just me or does nanoochka tend to get overly convoluted with a shitload of out-of-the-blue conversation/exposition after a slow burn? I mean,
Cas is kept offscreen for nine parts, all aloof and shit, and then it's "your beau's dead, run away with me now that you're single, I am a Vulcan and this is logical." ???
Oops, Sorry I didn't get back to read your question, but luckily Beverly saved the day. I loves me some boys in t-shirts leaning on cars. I loves me some Beverly too.
