But Angel/Spike isn't something I wanted to see more of, you know? I want the ship that I think should sail.

And I don't see Mulder/Krycek at all, but that might be just the way I saw it at the time (i.e. without slash goggles). Now, Mulder/Skinner I maybe could have bought if I had ... known what slash was at the time.

Mulder/Krycek was, for me, textbook Foe Yay! And the writers went as far as a kiss, so even though Chris Carter proved to be not in control of the beast he raised, at least he gave us that...and the red speedo.

And I was always down for flashback Angel/Spike. So even though canon only handed us one instance, it was way more than I thought we'd ever get. Just...the dysfunction with the four of those guys, paired with the sensation-driven id-wanking nature of the vampire demon--the idea that they never had sex struck me as disappointing. I didn't expect to be tossed that bone (NPI), but it does fit my general read of the mythos better if they do indulge.

Gunn/Wes, Jensen/Cougar, and Stark/Rogers have the lightly bickery married couple thing--Aragorn/Legolas have that with a side of "no one else here understands us", and Jack/Stark is an inverted Foe Yay, where they might never admit they respect each other and make a good team until it's too late. I will cheerfully slash upon that foundation too.

I need to copy this post into my notes...

First i miss an incest tag (seriously--how much not reading can I do?), and then I stumble on a short fic that makes no sense until the author's note at the end:

Uhm. I made Dean Sammy's dad. I REGRET NOTHING.

Which doesn't actually make sense. It just explains some of the stupidity.

Wait, she put that note at the end of the story, but it wasn't obvious in the story itself?

In other news, wow.

And yet, not as disturbing as it could have been.

There's a point at which Sam says "Dad" and they make a reference to his grandfather which makes no sense. Until you hit the note and go back up and read it. It's not like I'm ever going to take the subtext and come to that conclusion, because IT'S STUPID.

The doll is really cute. I cannot bring myself to read the words about the doll, because I am scared.

It's really not scary, just ridiculous. And Plushtiel is sort of cute!

In my endless loop of rewatching the TNT reruns news, Crossroads Blues is so bittersweet. The foreshadowing, and Dean's stance on deals, and both Sam and Dean's complete innocence about what they're going to face by the end of the season, and then later on ...

Oh, BOYS.

Yeah--when we reached that in the SuperWire rewatch I wanted to loop back and watch it again, and also stare meaningfully at the side of bon's face..

I saw a poster bitching "They're gonna tell that story again????" about S8. So, because I'm me, I asked...which story? Because if you want it to stop being the story of how two brothers relate to each other, you're hopefully out of luck. Oh, you know, the...I was suffering in a different dimension while you tried to live a life alone and didn't quite make it, and then you came back and it was awkward but then it wasn't anymore.

I asked if they thought Dean's return from Hell and Robo!Sam were similar stories in any way other than what he'd just said...I guess he got bored with the discussion.

I'm looking forward to this season like you would not believe. (Well, maybe you would.) I've heard a few teasing spoilery things, and for the first time in forever I've really been tempted to search out more.

But I'm being good. I can wait. I think.

Seriously, what does "that story again?!" even mean?

In completed unrelated news, Teen Wolf fandom really exploded, huh? They're already having a big bang!
