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 ^
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

[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.

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

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

I kinda think that as an amnesiac, you get a reset button. It's like the tree falling in the forest with no one there to hear.

Okay, I get that --but did Dean, at that point, know that Cas was an amnesiac?
I don't think he did. And I don't think the reader did either.
