Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.

And they each have memories of heaven and hell.

I'd love to know what else was different in their alternate life. Did John live longer? Were they less itinerant? Did Sam go to Columbia instead of Stanford?

new niche ship: Atropos/Tessa

Picture-worthy, even.

"I make mistakes, but I am on the side of Good," the Golux said, "by accident and happenchance.” – The 13 Clocks, James Thurber

So, right now, Dean has memories of two trips to the past, one to the future, a djinn fantasy, and an entire alternate life. Sam has one trip to the past, the Mystery Spot loop, and an entire alternate life.

I've been playing with my Delicious tags again (I get compulsive every so often) and was thinking about all the versions of Sam I could tag for: regular Sam, powers!Sam, AntiChrist!Sam, Robo!Sam, re-souled!Sam... and I'm sure I'm missing something. For Dean there's regular Dean, powers!Dean (because there's fic for Dean with powers), 2014!Dean (or is it 2013?)... I don't have any fic saved from the Smith & Wesson stories, but that would be a separate tag too. These guys are piling up multitudes of incarnations.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Right! They have Smith and Wesson memories too. Can't forget that. Plus they both have a Hell time dilation, even though Sam can't remember his.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Maybe in the *show*.

There is really no call for language like that.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I wonder if Titanic wasn't so much a test run as a surgical strike, like maybe passengers who lived went on to marry those who would have otherwise produced children for the bloodline that Raphael draws his preferred vessels from.

I like the surgical strike idea. Also, maybe the angels were hoping that a statistically small bump from a fairly easy-to-fix disaster ("hey, is that an iceberg?") would stand a better chance of flying under Fate's radar than something like averting WWI. It also would produce smaller ripples in history, perhaps (I loved the posters in the travel agency).

I am also fond of the idea that Castiel deliberately picked something that would have led to Jo and Ellen being alive again.

Kneel before Glod. ~Stephen Colbert

I particularly enjoyed "E.J. Smith Cruise and Travel" (Smith being the captain of the Titanic and all).

Because books.

Totally random Monday morning thought:

I'd love to see a gen fic about Dean and Sam's trip to Scotland. What the flight was like for Dean, dealing with sheep in the road, trying the local cuisine (for real, not Olive Garden), what Dean thinks of the local pubs.

I wish there was a fic fairy.

Quasi random Monday thought:

Dean's really pretty. I mean, sometimes counterproductively so. In Sin City, where he does a lot of sitting around and talking, there's just a lot of looking at him to do, and I swear it was starting to hurt.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

ita, don't read Where is My Mind? Apparently, Dean ate Sam. And then kills himself.

I do not read Dizbil. The English is too appalling for me, and the characterization is for crap. Seems the plotting is wack too. But thanks for the heads up.
