Elizah Jane's are esp. fab.

Actually I'd like both boys to die fending off the apocalypse. And the final season is a prequel. Or Missouri and Castiel fighting crime.

I humbly request your recs...

Well, I can safely say Thursday's Child hits many of those notes.

I also do appreciate a well-turned PWP, but mostly the first-timers. I do like to work out how in hell they turned around and made that first kiss. That's a big deal of the draw for me. Established is not as much of a D/C draw, although it can be for other pairing. Sassy, for instance. They have so many other problems, like hiding it from Dean, and the fact that they're just not meant to be...though the forbidden lure of the angel blood and the abominated soul trying to do good has its appeal.

I'm now down to plowing through random delicious recs, and man, the things people do and don't tag for. It's not Dean/OMC if some guy just grabs his ass. On the flip side, if Dean's hooking at age 9, I'd really like a tag or an author's note that spare me that story, you know?

And the final season is a prequel.

I think the genie is out of the box with JP. JA could play young, but JP is rapidly expanding to fill the northern continent, and I don't think that can ever be undone out of fic.

Well, I can safely say Thursday's Child hits many of those notes.

I have that open already...

Wheeee, new fic!

As a rule I don't read fic that has an angel as part of the slash pairing. I prefer my angels to be "Other" and to stay that way. (By the way, Anna was still fully human - the result of having fallen at that, she wasn't an angel when she and Dean had their Titanic/soft-focus lovemaking session in the backseat of Metallicar). That being said, if anyone cares to read Sam/Castiel, I can sincerely recommend Like A Rolling Thunder Chasing the Wind and its sequel Mercy Comes With the Morning, by eloise_509. I just checked my Delicious notes, and for the first story I wrote "Beautifully written. The angels are battling Lilith, and Uriel and Castiel are watching the Winchesters. Castiel comes to believe there is hope for Sam. The angels are never less than "Other." " For the sequel: " Sam and Dean are drifting apart, as Dean is caught more and more in his memories of hell. He's drinking, while Sam hunts alone. Castiel makes the choice to fall from heaven, so he can be with Sam. Sam is still being sought by Lilith, who wants the power Azazel left in his blood. The story is just as much about Dean and Sam rebuilding their brotherly bond as it is about Sam and Castiel. Wonderful."

I'll be sure to give those stories a look. Sam/Castiel is usually something I read for crack, and Sam/Gabriel for the ultra crack.

As for angels being other--Gabriel certainly wasn't. I don't think distance was inherent. He was fully powered up and getting laid.

Off topic, but one day I want to write a total crack fic about the evolution of Sam's hair. I'm watching the first Gordon ep (why can't I remember episode titles lately?) and Sam's hair is as frightening as Gordon's sense of righteousness.

Ah, the Samhair. Can it truly ever be offtopic? His hair is the wonkiest in Everybody Loves A Clown, if memory serves. (scroll down)

Another web clip for this week. Perhaps the explanation of the title.

Cass, have you hit my small Dean/Cas tag up?

Could I get a link?

Also off topic, but I saw Andy in an Applebee's commercial last night. Cutiehead.
