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.

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

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.

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.

Unrelatedly, I love The Adventures of Soulless Cas. They're so random.

eta: LotR Fusion. I'm not excited about her likenesses (especially Dean), but good god, that's really pretty.

Oh, that is pretty. And soulless Cas is adorable.

Julie, do you mean, like, ate him ate him, as in cannibalism ? Seriously?

Does it speak to the fandom that I hope that's what she meant as opposed to any other possible meaning?

Go cannibalism Choose cannibalism

It says something (what I'm not sure) that cannibalism could be the less disturbing choice.
