Roque has a delight in permanently maimed Dean that puts me off her stories.
Is it the sort of story that someone who's enjoying the season would like, she asks theoretically.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

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

I don't know? I've enjoyed a lot of the season, and disliked some particular episodes/plot twists, and I loved it.
I also don't have hangups about Dean maiming, so.

It's not that I have a particular hangup about maiming Dean, it's just that I can tell in her writing it's a kink of hers and it's very oh-no-not-again offputting. Somehow it reads like I've read it before when she writes it.
I started a long resolving-S9-issues fic and abandoned it recently because it felt...didactic. Like it wasn't just a story, but a knuckle rap to the writers. Since her problem was that Dean didn't have his own story, well, pretty much doomed from the git go. I can't remember the last time I read Sam written out of the story so summarily for anything other than porn reasons, and I'm a Dean or Cas oriented reader.
Sometimes stories are just stories, and sometimes they feel like axes being ground.
Can you believe I'm pissed off I didn't put the First in Dean's hand in the picture I just drew? It has over 500 notes, which is well ahead of anything else I've ever drawn, and now I want to fix it.
Ah, well. I will focus on the picture with the duckling or the tiger instead. And work on contentment with the current pic, because that's just a good thing to have.

Fic recommendation of the week: offbeat D/C where Cas is kinda Amish, kinda on his Rumsprigga (they're more hippy, but isolated and modest similarly) and a musical prodigy. The Family Business is classical music--Dean is a cellist riddled with stage fright that caused him to drop out of school, and Sam is a violinist studying at Juilliard.
Cas comes to school near Dean and ends up rooming with him. It's a slow sweet relationship that involves rope suspension and just about as much John-vilification as I can take. No wacky misunderstandings due to lack of communication in this one...hopefully it ends up on the good side of twee.
Appogiatura has been updating daily since I started reading it too--not long chapters, but enough.

I missed the opener, and I have the feeling that this week I shouldn't have done that.

Amy, Meta fiction in the episode? Or somewhere online?

Meta Fiction is the title of the episode.

I should have said -- I just wanted to make sure my comment didn't look like a response to the post above it.
