Angel ,'Sleeper'
[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.
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.
An odd thought materialized today: I would like them to visually signify the monstrous changes Cas is undergoing by purchasing an Audrey II puppet from one of the Little Shop of Horrors productions and having Misha read his lines from inside the main pod for at least part of an episode. Bonus: cameos by the faces of Lenore, Madison, Gordon, etc. in the smaller buds.

ita, this is AU but it's what I rec to people looking for gen recs for Sam and Dean brotherly bonding stories: the Secure the Blessing 'verse by rahmi. Up Ahead (the roads were closed) is the sequel, and this is the first timestamp, the second timestamp, and the third timestamp (scroll down on the page just a bit).
It begins when Dean is killed during a fight with demons. In Sam's grief and desperation he wishes that John, Mary, and Dean live. That they know what "normal" is; that John never has to teach Dean how to be a soldier.... and that Sam is kept away from them because supernatural evil is always attracted to him and he doesn't want it to touch them any more. Of course wishes never go the way they should, and Dean wakes up in a 4 year-old body with most of his memories intact and starts demanding that they produce his Sammy immediately. (John and Mary really don't know what to do with a toddler suddenly declaring that they should be dead and speaking Latin and drawing Devil's Traps and pouring salt all over the place.) The wee-child part doesn't really take up much of the story, it moves on to adulthood and the boys reconnecting and proving that it doesn't matter where or when they are, their bond is so fierce they just can't be kept apart. Bonus rabidly protective Dean and powers!Sam.
None of these are ones I recced. I don't even know if I've read them. Thanks. I will pass them on and read them myself. When I'm not on my phone I will share what I initially thought of.
Watched a bunch with bon tonight. Seven and a half eps. She's finally met Castiel. Whoo hoo!
Lots of thoughts I meant to note, but it is mostly men dying in the back half of s3. Really male skewed.
When we first meet Rufus, he hasn't spoken to Bobby in fifteen years. I guess the Winchesters get him back in the game.
Man, season 4. I'm having to justify Dean's ire a bit to bon, and I want to smack and hug Sam. Still hate Ruby. Always did.
I kind of enjoyed Season 3 Ruby. Perhaps because when she was the network-mandated female costar of the week there was still a lot of calling the brothers idiots but not so much demonstrating that they actually were.
