The only scaramouche I've read was "Plant Pathologists vs. Zombie Lawyers," but I really enjoyed that one.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

I think I would have enjoyed that more if I'd actually read the tags. As it was, I was mystified why Dean was a jerk background character and then I was all "whoa! Sassy!".
Weird, because I've been rereading scaramouche this past week.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That was the first one of hers I read too, and pretty much the only Sassy I've enjoyed.
I've been rereading her this week too. I love her style.

::sigh::
It's so magic, that AU.
Weirdly, I don't know if I ever finished the one where Dean and Cas have a mystery kid or anything. The one that starts in a diner. I just couldn't get into it, though it seems to have been her highest profile long story before this (mindbendingly brilliant) HS AU.
Maybe I'll try again...

Ha! I bailed on that one too, just not my cup of tea. Of course I am contrary, and frequently turn out to dislike my favorite authors' most popular stories in favor of their more fringe stuff.

There turned out to be a fair amount of meme fills among her work that I hadn't read, so I got some new stuff (and some pretty dirty new stuff) read this morning. I think I'm going to stop now on her specifically and save the rest for Monday morning in the ER.
Man, I heard that story touted as "No, don't let your MPREG feels drie you away! It's not what it's about!" But something else, I dunno, made me stop.
However, the sheer amount of drek I've read by people since then...her worst is so much better than shit I've read just yesterday. So I'll try again.
For some reason I feel like if I messaged her about typos in her work, she wouldn't be miffed. But there's random weird stuff (choked up when it should have been chalked up) that's just sitting there screaming "otherwise brilliant!" in quite old fics, and no one else has thought to correct them...

I formed the theory that while the Impala was in hiding, Dean stuck to stealing old cars, but that wasn't something Sam paid attention to.
Can anyone remember anything that contradicts that fanon? I'm at the point where I am distracted by stories where Dean's driving Japanese.

Because books.
They were all old, I'm pretty sure.

That jibes with my memory. The scene where Sam has a car of his own (before he nods off) he's driving something recent (a pickup of some sort?), and of course he had a new car when he lost his soul, but Dean seemed to be really consistently driving cars not as cool as his Baby, but of a similar vintage.
So, author, I know you're making him bitter that he's driving a Camry in late S7, but I don't care. He'd rather drive that Pacer thingy.
