No idea who this guy is, but I'd cast him as Dean in a heartbeat: [link]

There's just something about him that I find kind of creepy, though.

I think it would be interesting to see him play "out of this world" next to Misha. It's another thing it occurred to me that Rick Worthy plays well. Other kinds of multidimensional wavelengths of celestial intent--that have charisma and stick around.

I want to see a five things fic of the WInchesters.

Like,

• John goes vengey, but leaves the kids with friends--Azazel gets Sam, Michael gets Dean
• John goes vengey, but finds some Campbells and leaves the kids with them (they become assholes and are taken by Lucifer and Michael
• John does not go vengey, tries to raise the kids in a normal environment. All their school friends are demons, and we get the same knowledge of people that die. Azazel gets Sam, Dean dies trying to save him, because he has no skills.
• John does not go vengey, but hides the kids from the unknown as best he can with book knowledge. When Azazel comes for Sam, Dean is the one that burns on the ceiling
• The series as we see it.

Oh, I like that, ita.

I love ita's spicy brains.

Thanks! I wish I trusted my ability to capture SPN voices at any length, because I'd be all over that like white on rice. Though, I suppose, with the format, there doesn't have to be much if any dialogue. But "voice" is more than just what's spoken.

::sigh::

It would also require fanwanking the combination of Azazel and Lucifer's plans, but still (I've never understood how they worked together). I'd have John be killed in the second scenario and as the Righteous man break after some very very long period. His torture would be psychological, involving Mary and Henry and how he did wrong by his kids (aka not raise them in the show way).

I'm not saying he made the best/safest choices, but you know my spiel--he ended up with heroic children who might not be whole, but are doing damned good jobs most of the time.

If I weren't so behind drawing for DCBB (I am ashamed of myself), I'd draw the visual for #4. It breaks my heart and feels right at the same time.

Completely unrelated, I just opened the anon thread again after the longest time, and in an early post about cracky ships had to crack a smile at

I ship Supernatural passing the Bechdel test. Naked.

I see Jo/Anna a fair amount, balanced by Jo/Vic. I like them both, even though the character of Anna is rarely related to what we saw onscreen. Jo/Vic is something I've been shipping, if platonically, for quite a long time: [link] But mostly I ship Meg/Ruby.

Oh, hey, look what someone did (with permission): [link] [nsfw imagery]. She only asked for one, but two is good, two is definitely good.

Nice job, with the art!

Also, check this out!!! [link]

Trapped in airport, need recs for long fics. Prefer Dean/Cas, but a good story is a good story. AO3 links are good, since I can download. Fire in Chicago means lots of delayed flights, so lots of folks on the wifi.

Vortex, I'm alwaysamy on AO3, and I have a bunch of Dean/Cas up. Nothing too long, but I do have a couple End!verse connected stories.

ita would be your go-to for the really long ones.

Try sorting the list by reverse length, so longest first. Of these, I'd quickly recommend:

• Out of the deep if you don't mind mer!cas : >[link]
• Angelhawke (what it says on the tin, with Sam as the thief): >[link]
• Little Motel, substance abuse: >[link]
• A hole in the world (although asshole John, IIRC): >[link]
• Born to run (sad ending, I never read it):, fixed in tag): >[link]
• Into THe Hideaway (well-written A/B/O) angst): [link] the pinupchemist is pretty good all round: >[link]
• Blackbird fly (don't remember the deets, but don't remember hating it, as weak rec go): >[link]
• Tramps like us (AU misfits find each other): >[link]
• Strange New Worlds (sci fi AU where the angels are spaceships:): >[link]
• Tell Me You Love Me
• Don't read Wait And See. It starts out innocuously enough but devolves into lifestyle preaching
• March Stalkers Mighty--loosely based on Beowoulf--humanity is at war with angels who are at war with demons. Dense: >[link]
• Don't read Soft Touch, Raw Nerve if you've ever had PT
• SIlverwings--angels are dragons, Cas is special: >[link]
• Carry On--Dean does live in subbing to pay for Sam's schooling: >[link]
• All the things Shining: interesting mythos: [link]
• The Shadow at my WIndow (loose Peter pan with show conflicts): >[link]
• The Seraph (octoCas, some Stockholm Syndrome, but I bought it in the end): >[link]
• America's top Chef (nice and light): >[link]

Also, try everything by MooseFeels: [link] and scaramouch (Annie D) and grab their longer works.

The smallest of the stores I recc'ed you is 133K, so there should be good reading for you, even if you don;t feel for my type exactly.
