Sorry, Amy!
But I promise that those were only incidental details to the fic.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[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.

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.

That was a great, satisfying ending, which not a lot of fics achieve (I'm still annoyed at the ending of Thursday's Child, with the cheetos, and that's my favorite longfic). I realized, just like in WIAWSNB, there's a boatload of people dying with Sam and Dean as nonhunters. And the subtle tonal shift of Dean 1 and Dean 2, Dean 2 was so much happier and content.

Hair of the dog: is it wrong that my beef with a fic is that there are fireflies when lilacs are blooming? Because three months so did not pass between the two. Fic, get your flora and fauna right!
