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

D/C BB posting starts tomorrow. Ooh, the onslaught. We post on the 7th. I have to stop fiddling by then.

I just saw a story come up on LJ with "graceturbation" as a warning. WTF?

And I forget who, but someone here wanted a video set to "Hallelujah" in honor of Cas. This particular story, set after 7.01 and 7.02, is actually called "Broken Hallelujah" and the summary is "I've seen your flag on the marble arch. Love is not a victory march. It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah." But I don't think that qualifies as unironic.

Because books.

I think "graceturbation" is when Dean is ... touching Cas's grace. Or Cas is? Although I'm not sure how either would work.

I read one story where Dean could see Cas's halo, and it was completely bizarre. He left a handprint on it accidentally, but then it also turned Cas on when he touched it or something.

I tried to skim the story to learn for myself, but it was too painful. So it shall remain a mystery. But the pairings were Dean/Cas, Sam/Gabriel, so I'd bet that you're right; it must have something to do with do with Cas' grace.

Unfortunately, I think it does.

Graceturbation is getting someone off with your grace. It's a dumb term, because it should be getting yourself off with your grace.

Any luck with fonts?

Right now I think I'm going to go with the one Matt suggested, and not put the quotes on the other pictures.

Plei! I found my first Wincest post-7.02 pain fic! I thought you'd be happy to know.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Um. I realize I'm watching a different show, or watching differently, or something. But I thought I'd mention a point in the show I noticed. When Dean told Bobby's voicemail that if Bobby was gone, he was going to strap Sam in and drive the car off a pier? He could more easily threatened to shoot Sam and then himself. By *driving*, he was taking the car with them. Without Bobby, there would be nobody to look after her, either. All the Winchesters, one grand gesture, and he'd obviously given it some thought.

Okay, sorry to distract from the fic and stuff. As you were.

Ah, Beverly, brilliant! I had not put that all together. Of course he wouldn't leave Impala by herself with no one to care for her.

I liked the ep a lot. First of all, I find the leviathans creepy as hell and kind of entertaining. I am curious to see what their org chart looks like. Sounds like there is a big boss. I loved seeing the sheriff again, and if I ever had an OTP for Supernatural, she and Bobby are it. I believe with all my heart that Bobby is alive, and they are going to charge in to save the day next week. Completely unspoiled speculation, of course. I think I connect with her more than I did with Ellen even, may god strike me down. Probably because she's not a hunter, but she's game -- she didn't stick her head in the sand and was smart enough to keep Bobby's number!

JP is doing a magnificent job with Sam's trials. Good god. Breaking my heart.
