I will continue to be vigilant for it.
Such sacrifice. Truly impressive.
And if I run out of steam tonight, tomorrow morning for sure. Stuff like that is perfect to do before my brain is completely awake.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I wanted to rec a fic that seems to meet ita's requirements. I just read it today and have to say it was as close to an episode of SPN could be if it were on HBO or maybe SHO (including Dean/Castiel and solid Sam).
It's an apocalypse fic and very very gory. I was gripped.
I could easily imagine this being about one of the horsemen.

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

I have a Colt question--I missed what Ruby did/explained that got it working again. Did she tell them how to make more magic bullets? Or has the gun been altered so that it can use any old bullet to kill demons?

I'm not sure it's ever explicitly explained.
We see Bobby shoot her with it, and it doesn't kill her. Then she says she can help him fix it, and when he shows up with it in Sin City, it works.
The last scene in MM is nice if only to see that JA is, indeed, not a midget. He towers over Katie Cassidy.

Apparently whatever Ruby did to it is just as good as the original bullets. Some things are able to survive being stabbed by her knife (it didn't even seem to bother Castiel), but Lucifer said only 5 beings in creation can withstand the Colt.
Is there some reason that Castiel and other angels can't home in on objects Sam & Dean habitually keep near them? I get that they themselves are blinvisible, but they tend not to range too far from the Impala, for example.

Okay, it's not just me missing things WRT the gun, then. Good.
So being shot with the gun disrupts the demon-ness, but doesn't kill the demon unless it's a kill shot for the host. But they always shoot to kill unless it's their dad.
And same with the knife--Bobby's the only non-kill with it, and it kills the demons, right?
Sam's demon-juicing powers--he can exorcise, but he can also kill. When he stabs the demon in MBV and drinks their blood, what happens to their demony souls? Does he kill them? Exorcise them? How many demons does he actually kill rather than exorcise (other than Lillith and his food)?
Matt, I guess we've never seen them hone in on movable stuff. Just people and locations.

I guess I assumed demons don't have souls? Which is why when Sam kills them, or the knife or Colt kills them, they're really truly dead -- not just on their way back to hell, where they could surface again.
I think I'm confused about how you're using "kill" and "exorcise" there, too.
And what do you mean, Bobby's the only non-kill with the knife? The knife won't kill a human unless it's intended to, whereas if you stab a demon with the knife, it hits the demon inside, or something, no matter whether it would kill the human host.
