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."

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
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.

Holy SHIT. My mouth just dropped open. We get more callbacks to pre-series history! Whoo!
Seriously. I didn't expect we'd ever go to Stanford, of all places.
Right? But I love that the writers are picking at loose threads and attempting to tie them up, or together, into something that's closer to a whole pattern.
Tortured metaphor for the lose. I need more caffeine.
Poor extra angst for Sam!
