Has anyone posted this D/C AU art by cafe_de_labeill before? [link]

I ran across it in the midst of a discussion about how Misha's wardrobe might be changed next year if he's made the arc villain (rather than instantly back to status quo or exploded), and that look - minus actual wings - would get my vote.

While it probably wasn't the artist's intent, my first thought on seeing that c_d_l picture was "oh, God, I want that bistro set!"

Hah! She had another one of Cas and Anna that inspired a similar feeling in me re: the wallpaper in the background. (Though it would stick out like a sore thumb in my current apartment, and would have been perfect for the last one.)

ETA: Also, I am totes going shopping tomorrow for a brown silk or silk-like vest, as I have similar coloring apart from the eyes and could rock that look.

And it turns out this person's master post leaves out the last three chapters of a thirty chapter fic. So I had to do the hunting work myself to find them.

Yes, I want it on a platter. You get me started, finish me off.

That having been said, my master post is for crap, but I'm not providing chaptered work. You don't have to look at my stuff in sequence. You can just filter through tags perfectly simply.

But I do need to update it.

Evil Cas should just dress like the S6 photo op. It all makes perfect sense now.

Things that make no serious sense that ping me in fic--teetotaller Dean is one of them. I dunno, I guess it made sense in the context of the story, but it just felt like the author was criticising the text. And she's done others where she's cleaned him up before too.

Love Dean, love at least the occasional beer, is my motto.

I've only read one fic where Dean swore off alcohol, and that was Equinox where he had a vague year to save Cas' life, and didn't want to be impaired for it.

Evil Cas should just dress like the S6 photo op.

YESH. Pinstriped tailored chocolate brown suit, yum.

I was reading somewhere, and a comment was that not until this finale did they start to ship D/C. I don't know if they meant both eps, or just the last, but it's funny how drastically different people react to things. People holding on tightly to an idea being turned off, and people having no idea that that idea existed suddenly glomping onto it.

But, if Cas must be the Big Bad, he so needs new threads.

I get kinda defensive about the idea that Dean's impaired now. He is unhealthy, but He's got a pretty killer groove going.

I think gedry's cleaned him up at least twice now. Once with AA.

I tend to get an aura of "I'm a much better Dean than the canon Dean, see? No drinking." Maybe they'll also have him stop consuming porn?

It's akin to me getting twitchy when they make him gay.

I just saw someone ask for gen S/D. I didn't think that's what she meant, and she confirmed it. What she wants is SamandDean. Do you guys have any particular non-Wincest strong brotherly bond recs I could pass along to a newbie?

I don't know if "Snuffleupagus" would be exactly what she's looking for since it's kind of weechesters AU, but based on its quality kellifer-fic on LJ might be fertile ground to search.

I clearly don't do too well picking out what's SamandDean as opposed to Sam/Dean, but I'll see if I have anything.

"Snuffleupagus" kills me.

This has excellent SamandDean, plus bonus Bobby: Little, Brothers.

This is a total gut punch, because it's set after Dean dies in S3, but it's gen, and it's gorgeous and painful: Woke Up New.

Wee!chesters (not too wee, though) from John's point of view: Backseat Drivers.

This is gorgeous post-S2 casefic, with bonus angst: Breach.

This is a three-part story; Dean disappears and comes back two years later. There are additional sequels and a prequel, too: Cartography in Empty Spaces.
