Aha. Supernaturalwiki is our friend for transcripts and narrowing that down. Sympathy For The Devil is the GED reveal.
When did we first see Dean recite the ritual from memory? I know he muffs it in Sin City and Swap Meat. Has he ever done it right?
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

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

I'm loving reading all the Sam exploration.

I don't think they've ever shown him doing it off-book and not messing it up. You'd think it would have been a priority, even if they didn't begin performing exorcisms until Devil's Trap.

Grr. That's kinda irritating. I get the gag reasons for the way they did it in Swap Meat, but he knows better.

They were reading from Dad's journal in Devil's Trap and Crossroad Blues. Dean sounded more confident of the pronunciation, but with the book in hand. Since then they've used more than one exorcism ritual, because the one Sam used on Meg and Dean used on Crossroads Beauty did not sound like the one Bobby used to oust Meg from Sam, or the one Sam recorded in Jus in Belo.

Yeah, Supernaturalwiki.com lists separate rituals for Devil's Trap, Crossroad Blues, Born Under a Bad Sign, and Swap Meat, and ignores Phantom Traveler due to incomprehensibility, so it sounds like they're totally mixing it up.
No idea why they'd do that.
I was very relieved to find out that the exorcism in 99 Problems was fake, because from the webclip it seemed ludicrously short, and the idea that there was an Enochian one that Cas hadn't told them didn't seem fair.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I could have sworn they had shown Dean doing an exorcism correctly from memory, but I can't think of what ep it was.

ita, just so you know, I am tearing through Wellspring. It's like eating jellybeans, one after the other.

They are really addictive. Good thing there's so damned much of it.
I just read on TWOP that Sera Gamble has said that the 4 SPN archangels are Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Lucifer.

I'm tearing through Wellspring too. In fact I've torn my way through it. I am embarrassed at how much I adore those mini-Deans, Ben and Alec.
All the Winchesters in that fic make me giggle, but esp. mini-Alec.
