They just painted it like victim Dean was the hottest little thing and his hole was ripe for abusing by everyone, family, friends, and foes.

Yeah, I guess that's out there. Maybe I should have said it's not part of what I read. At the first hint of abuse or noncon between them, I'm out, or I don't even go in.

I get that incest is a stretch, but outside of that, I try to stick to stories where the boys aren't wildly OOC.

Not beta-ed is one thing (I admit, I put forward quite a few pictures without getting feedback first, but that's different), but not revising? Running a spell check? Why would you not?

I'm guessing rebellion against one's 7th grade English teacher?

I think you're onto something Matt. And they might possibly be in eighth grade.

I just tried to read another story where the boys were startled and dropped their guns which then got jammed with snow. I don't care if there's hot porn later. It's just stupid.

And then there's the one which is nice and clear with the summary:

Dean and Castiel are brothers and their parents are dead. From the ages of 6 and 4 they share a room at the childrens home they end up in. Dean means a lot to Cas - Father, mother, brother, best friend, and quite possibly everything else as well. Incest, not creepy, I hope.

No, what would be creepy about that? Heaven forfend. I mean, seriously.

oh ita, you missed the best part in the first chapter:

Ok, there are plotty reasons why this is all ok, but to reveal them now would ruin the point – so you'll just have to trust me. I had this idea after reading another fic and was left with the idea that Castiel makes a much better brother than Sam. So yes, whilst this is technically an incest fic, it does have a point and I'll try not to let it be weird.

there's a reason why the incest is okay.

Also, Cas makes a better brother than Sam.

I'm not sure which I am more agog at.

Oh, I definitely did not click through.

"technically an incest fic"

OMG, what is our fandom?

And, seriously, if Castiel makes a better brother, you're doing it wrong.

capslock author's note writer wrote me back. *Maybe* they'll think about changing their disclaimer. But it's about the plot, gosh darnit. And if only we'd just look past that and read for the plot, it's not the authors fault the advertisement sucks. --Oh, wait.

OMG, I'm picking a fight. This will end badly for me, I can tell.

That's so absurd. It's like cooking a huge seafood meal out of the freshest, best catch of the day and telling everyone to ignore the bits of seaweed and the sand in the shells. By then, no one's going to care if the lobster is frigging magical.

That's like the chef declaring "I DIDN'T MAKE SURE THE PORK WAS COOKED TO 145 DEGREES. AND THE MUSSELS MIGHT NOT HAVE OPENED WHEN I BOILED THEM. EAT UP."

Go, Julie, go!

Also, if you go back and taste your seafood meal, you might just be able to adjust the seasonings to bring out the flavour of that magical lobster even better. And get rid of the fucking sand, heathen.
