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.
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

[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.

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.

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

Huh. I thought we did.
Adorable painting of the Js. Though I prefer to think of it as Sam and Dean, because I'd love to see Sam with that smile on his face.

Hey, I was reading on my blackberry at traffic lights, something may have been missed. There was no way in heck I was deliberately skimming this time!

Okay, I'm a sap. I liked it, and I'm glad it ended the way I thought it was, even though the name change was jarring. I'm really really glad it ended with a world where they were hunters, because it was just awkward wrong otherwise, even if they preferred it so.
