thanks, will check it out.

...so good. Excellent slow burn, and I love how we are shown how they buoy each other and make each other's lives better, instead of just being told. It reminds me of the Mafia Soup Kitchen AU. Glad I read it now and not in the beginning, I don't know if the first part or two would have hooked me.

All I can say is if he were my next door neighbor, I'd have to talk myself down from installing spycams in the vents.

This would be me if it was Dean.

I just keep watching the "Jensen's not interesting" vid over and over. He just keeps it going with barely a change of expression, and he involves everyone on the panel, wordlessly checking to see if anybody thinks he's interesting. Charming. And funny.

He was really playing to the crowd, wasn't he? He had definitely turned "it" on. And yes, that's exactly what I meant about him being able to blend in. It's an amazing thing and probably very fortunate for him over the years. I don't expect agreement or that we all have the same preferences. On some planets, they juggle geese.

Everyone was adorable on the panel though. "Is he auditioning?" Oh Misha. "I've had better." Oh Jim. "The amulet was a diva." FU Kripke.

Glad you liked the fic, Julie. She got me with the first cliffhanger, but it's gotten better and better. Since it's essentially all written (it's her NaNoWriMo), I don't feel I'll have to wait unduly for a resolution.

I'm amazed at what peace I've almost reached about the Soup Kitchen. Still mega want, but I'm not mad at her. Nanoochka, on the other hand, better just finish her story. I have no conviction it will live up to anything, and I just want it done.

These chibis feature the best chibi Gabriel I think I've seen, and pretty much sure the first chibi Balty.

I guess Sebastian Roche got the followers he wanted. Warning, implied but unconfirmed nudity.

Dude, really?

chibi!Balthazar needs to be sexier. Dean is obv the scowly chibi, hee.

Nan has a weird headspace in her fics, things get overcomplicated times a thousand and characters have epic conversations that belong in thoughts, and I appreciate that she goes beyond "Dean thinks he's unworthy of being loved", but, yeah, my inner completist needs it to be done without any hope of it being good.

Glad to hear glassyskies actually has this one in the bag. Cuz I'm currently ploughing through jollysnidge's multiple WIP's and am frustrated.

And not to belittle the Movies discussion, but Katniss must be played by Jensen. IJS.

Clicked on ita's link. Feel dirty and pervy. SSDD.

Ahahahaha! And yes.

I refuse to click that link and I can't help wondering at the narcissism behind that kind of move.

It's really unattractive. I do wonder if the people that think that Misha's a self-obsessed attention whore are having feelings towards him like the ones I'm having towards Seb. I skim through his tweets and...IDGI. He does seem to interact directly with a lot of people, and cool that he's all multi-culti and shit, but good god. Way to coast on C-list celebrity and not even an attempt at wit.

I *guess* if Jensen were willing to wear grey contacts he could be Katniss.

jollysnidge? I've only read the priest/minor AU of hers, and it was kinda weird.

BRB. Glassyskies has updated again...

it was kinda weird

It's no Voice of the Turtle Dove, for sure. I don't know how much actual self-hatred and self-flagellation and misery goes on with some closeted Catholics, but their relationship and denial in the fic was . . . odd.

I'm currently amidst the "Cas is a hooker" fic.

I'm going to pretend I never clicked that link.

If people don't get that Misha is also raising a lot of money for charity, they're not paying attention.

CHIBIS. I think my favorite was a tossup between Cas and Crowley. Although chibi!Dean in socks and chibi!Sam grinning always kill me.
