I didn't buy the emotional ups and downs in the story. The breakups and stay aparts didn't make enough sense, and had nothing to do with the Dean and Castiel we know. Also, irrationally, I don't like when they mess with the Sam-Dean age difference.

I had to finish it, because I'm like that, but I was less than invested.

Right? (to all of that).

At least I could kinda sorta maybe track the muddled mess of reasoning, unlike nanoochka's elaborate unnecessariness. Although I kept waiting for Cas to admit that the reason Dean would hate him is because he ate babies fresh from the womb.

I don't have as much of an issue with the age discrepancies, but I was scrolling down the J2BB and the art for a J2 fic had a seriously deaged Dean (prostitute!) hugging a season 6 Sammy, and that was not my beautiful cake (and I'll happily read J2 AU's).

I fully don't even remember what Cas's reason for the assumed hate was.

So, I randomly started a tumblr. Juliebird, you especially are urged to contribute. I am so curious...

I don't think they ever actually got to that, now that I think about it. There was still, dear god in heaven, more talking to do. But Dean's "Say Anything" impersonation postponed it.

Hmmm, personal invitation to clicky the linky. Cannot resist.

Bwah!

I don't understand tumblr, but maybe I'll make one for Sam's "stupid hair" and bitchfaces in sequential order.

bitchfaces in sequential order

That would be an essential fanon resource.

At least nanoochka had sex about once a chapter, once she got started. My god, cautionzombies was a tease. Also, worst broken up couple ever.

Okay, looking up stuff for my new fad is hysterical. I suck at keeping anything going, but it's fun so far.

rewatching the second to last ep, and Dean's in the hospital room with Lisa and Ben, and what struck me was the line, "I just lost control for a minute", and that suddenly sounded like so much more and made my heart break all over again. Like even Dean's secret desire for a family and normal life was reckless and irresponsible.

[link] pretty amazing vid manip. could be construed as Destiel. mostly it's just awesome and kind of heartbreaking.

I thought that was the saddest thing ever, but then I tried to watch the vid it's a sequel to, and I couldn't finish it because the idea was too depressing.

Cas continues to taste like very many things.

Juliebird, have you read Jollysnidge? I think she's my new guilty pleasure. She writes like a rabbit breeding, and goes to a couple depressing/disturbing places, but not too bad. She's firmly D/C, and she's never seen a movie she couldn't adapt. Dirty Dancing, seriously.
