This is a subtexty genfic (author = dotfic) that's a missing scene from the finale. I should disclose the fact that I beta-read the thing, but I also enjoyed it. (Edit: It's Castiel pov as he uses the Purgatory smoothie).

made-up words that sound like they came from an NC-17 Dr. Seuss book

Gah. I am so, so sorry, Matt. If I could, I would send you some bourbon through the intertubes.

Speaking of the Impala--getting tossed wasn't a mortal blow, was it?

It better not be. My biggest reaction to the ep was, "Nooooooooooo, not the car!"

I've seen posts of people that are flouncing off of season Seven. They aren't even going to see how things turn out? Boggle. And they aren't just "oh well, things didn't go the way I wanted so I'm really not interested anymore." They are "I am seething with rage and this is the only thing I can threaten at the moment that won't get me thrown in jail." It's scary.

Yeah, I am less interested in the show but I'm not going to get seriously angry at it. I just am ... less interested in the show.

That said, I actually dig Cas as the new God. He's back to being something that isn't comic sidekick. Something Powerful and Other. This is "gripped you tight" Cas again for me.

I adore Misha but I never liked how Cas was the beck and call of the Winchesters and - even though it might have been the wrong call - when Cas asked for their loyalty in return they denied him. I figure if you are going to give him honorary Winchester status, you support him when he makes stupid deals with demons and tries to play above his pay grade. You know, like a Winchester.

Mostly I just really want the Impala to be okay.

[link] be more adorable, Jensen. I DARE YOU. in fact, i dare you to be more adorable next week when i'm seeing you in the flesh!

Oh Jensen. We must smish him.

I wish I was there with you next week.

me too, Theresa! we would have all kinds of fun together.

If I wasn't going to Honolulu the following week, I would absolutely have been there.

Oh god, the bow-legged horse straddle. Eeeeee!

tiggy, we want a full report! And pictures! Please!

I'm thinking I might make the drive over and attend, since fares are pretty much ruling out Denver for me this year.

I love Jensen and all, but i'm pretty sure Honolulu > Jensen.

have you met me, Amy? ;) i'm always the girl you can count on to get pictures. i'm hoping our seats aren't too far away because i want to try to take video. i didn't do the gold or silver passes though. just can't shell out that kind of cash, but i got the tickets right behind those people. plus, i bought the photo op for Jensen and Misha. i'm going to be close enough to touch both of them! still kind of !!!! about that.

awesome, Matt! i'll be going with a guy friend of mine. i can give you my cell phone # if you want to try to meet up with us.

Oh, I do know you, babe, but it always bears repeating. You know, just in case.
