Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!'

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

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

There is a dearth of Williams. Quick, someone call Joss.

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

I don't think that Dean and Sam count in the same way as unrelated Victors, for instance, since they're deliberate by the text. Amy is the one that drives me batshit--Novak, Pond, Sam's picnic lady? Really? You needed back to that well?

Because books.

Hey, it's an awesome name ...

If that is really your name.

Oh, and Cowboy Junkies is the emo-est, but it was a weird band name to pick out of a hat, I think.

Is anyone besides me just a tiny bit displeased that they deviate from the standard angelic names for ones that seem to prefer/default to a female host? I mean, why not Saraqael instead of Naomi? The angels themselves aren't supposed to be gendered creatures, though they use "brothers" as a default descriptor rather than the neutral "siblings."

They do seem to be using Biblical names, though -- Rachel, Naomi, etc. Michael and Gabriel aren't especially angelic, either.

Marcia--put it on my tab.

Michael and Gabriel aren't especially angelic, either.

But we do explicitly know popular angels Gabriel and Michael. I don't know anything about an angel Balthazar or Zachariah, so I hadn't been thinking of it as a female host issue. It seemed fucking lucky Castiel is an angel's name, and even so, it's only barely.
