I want to read about (and, honestly, watch) stories where people who have strong bonds don't always get along

Oh, yes. I love that, and that's something I had fun exploring in the John/Mary stuff I've written. When we see it in Show, it tends to be framed either as perfect or incredibly flawed (or, per MBV, based entirely on heavenly manipulation)--probably because we're generally getting it filtered through Dean's perspective, and he doesn't do all that well with shades of gray. Anyhow, I loved playing with the messy middle ground there.

Under two days for a Wincest vid to Air Supply's "All Out of Love."

While I'm not a Wincest fan, as someone who was all about Air Supply as a tween, this made me laugh like a loon.

That vid was awesome.

I just plotted the route from Sioux Falls, SD to Whitefish, MT on Google maps. I've gone to the dark side, I think.

(I checked out the eps on Hulu, and The Girl Next Door is the only one I couldn't record, so I'm rewatching.)

What's the Bon Jovi song that Sam and Dean abortively sing along to?

"Wanted Dead or Alive."

Which came out first as "Wanted DEAN or Alive."

Ah. I was getting sadface at Blaze of Glory. I can see that as a very anthemic Show song too.

Are they still avoiding using the impala or does Sam have it?

...Aw, no Sammy to roll his eyes at your bad jokes.

What state are they supposed to be in?

the orb of thesulah? nice Buffy shout-out, SPN!

Well Dean, I'm not saying that you didn't need to talk to Sam, but that probably wasn't the best way to do it if you actually wanted him to respond understandingly. (?understandingly? that's not looking like an actual word.)
