Okay, this story had just taken the second mindfuck left turn. I should not be reading it at work.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have air conditioning and scaramouche. It is a good Friday. It took me almost an hour to drive a thirty minute commute because I kept pulling over to read.
^ God, I'm a sad person ^

Hmmm. I'm coming to the conclusion that scaramouche's gift for relationship scenes does not translate into good casefic/action adventure.

I'm not done yet, but I'm liking it. I had no idea it was going where it has gotten to.

I think my only complaint so far was the implicit understanding that Cas was a virgin. I like the way the "John is a bastard" angle is handled. I like the fresh way that Mary is included in the story. I like. Not in love. But, after so many dissatisfying fics of nebulous quality and length and originality, I am quite content.

Because books.
Some of us may want to read it later, though! Spoiler details if you can, please?

meep!
Sorry, Amy!
But I promise that those were only incidental details to the fic.

Why do you have a complaint about Cas' virgin status?

Not about the status of it, just that it was suddenly a known quantity within the fic, taken for granted that of course he is. No "so have you ever?" "No." "okay". Not a huge deal, but it felt like an oversight of givens.
