Yeah, I knew it was a canon woman, was just likening it to Sam's canon douchiness with Ruby wrt Dean. Except with extra douchiness. But I flove all the understatedness and the inbetween-the-lines-ness of it.

On the flipside of Cas not having a problem with nudity is the little nugget stuck in my brain from fic: that Cas heals his clothing like his body, that the clothes are as a part of the vessel as Jimmy's skin and hair, so doing without is weird.

And I love the idea of Dean, once on board with him and Cas, being king of being comfortable with his body and his sexuality. And if he's not on board, then being cocky about it to hide his insecurities, jumping all in with a smirk.

While I don't think that would apply to angels in general with living hosts, we really don't know what Castiel's physical manifestation is now. It may just be psychic energy that takes on the appearance of his self image (or rather, his image of his prior physical manifestation) like a particularly solid ghost when needed.

This makes me happy. And deals with that pesky vessel problem (Oh, Jimmy!).

I like naked Dean/clothed Cas, although I really don't object to the other way around either. Like, ever.

Question: What's everyone's favorite Big Bang so far? Rec me! But give me the pairing and an AU heads-up, too.

If you're into J2, Amy, avoid the Ladyhawke fusion like the plague. I've never read so many "dudes!" in my life. I mostly skimmed, because I couldn't help myself, and while I appreciated Isabeau's role not being quite so damsel-in-distress, it was truly awful. Even if Misha as Philippe was amusing.

Nothing has struck me so far as anything memorable.

I haven't found anything in this years BB worth saving either - which is a shame since I usually have at least a couple that I save to read again. I'm not sure whether it is me or them but even authors whose work I normally like just aren't grabbing me. The only one I would suggest is Scavenger Hunt which I think is a well-written nice little J2 in college diversion - but I'm pretty sure I will have forgotten it by Friday.

Not enough for me to mem these, but going back through the list:

JRobot: J2. Not what I was expecting. Fun action, surprisingly sweet.

Rumsey Hall: Wincest. Excellent casefic, engaging and exciting journey through the house. Slow-build.

A Strong Confederacy: J2/Misha. Not obstinatrix's best work, but I love the way she writes, even if this did lack a little, but I can't put my finger on it. Didn't hate it.

I liked the How To Train A Dragon D/C adaptation. Worked for me. It's the only D/C I've read so far. I haven't really been paying much attention to anything but the art. And there's been too much photomanipping for my tastes, but some great stuff. I'll do a summary of what I like when the challenge is over.

I saw Rumsey Hall -- I think I might have bookmarked it to read later. Looked decent.

I usually love obstinatrix, but J2/Misha? Eh.

Filming starts today, with Jensen directing, or so SuperWiki says. Whee!
