I generally think Sam probably experimented with boys at Stanford for a lot of reasons, and Dean I generally feel probably wanted to but never did. I'm not sure why.

Interesting! No boys for Dean? And I bet you have Wincesty overtones to Sam experimenting, don't you? Or at least breaking free of expectations.

I see Dean as a big old pansexual. OMG, I just had a spitup accident thinking of him in silky panties while trying to drink my Coke. Maybe a chick suggested a threesome and it went from there.

have you read Refur's The Crow on the Cradle? It's rough, but it's really good

What's the premise?

That's dirty pool. If the pairing is going to change, you should note it up front.

I think if it changes the warning (so adding Wincest, for certain) you should note it but I sort of feel cheated when I know every single pairing going into a story. There's less mystery or surprise or enjoying the journey for me. I get that people want all of that information, so I deal, but I love letting a story unfold as I read it.

I interrupt this discussion to bring Misha being hot.

I *can* see Dean as pansexual? I can never make up my mind which way it went with him, when I'm really basing it on canon. There's a lot "I don't swing that way," with him, but then again that could be protesting too much. And certainly his interaction with Castiel in PoNR skewed that opinion.

I can easily believe Sam would have been curious if approached, and completely PC enough to want to try it. And I don't have to have Wincesty overtones there, missy. Not ... always.

Hustler!Dean without abuse

Ooh, I hoped I marked one story because, wow, will you like it.

Though, I am guessing, not the story that I only can call How Dean Gets the Knife. Does anyone know the actual name or author on that one?

There's a lot "I don't swing that way," with him, but then again that could be protesting too much.

Or maybe he did go that way and nope, not the route for him.

(I'd read it.)

Cass, you've mentioned that so many times and I still don't think I've read it. Do you have a link?

As far as marking your pairings--you do risk not attracting people that surf by pairings. Apparently I'll read anything not S/D or demon or Lucifer anyone, but I do tend to do it in waves. So it's not just keeping people away, but drawing them in.

That is a phenomenal hiatus beard, Misha. You win.

There's a lot "I don't swing that way," with him, but then again that could be protesting too much.

You also saw his "Ooh Dr. Sexy!" face, though, didn't you? That was the same face JA uses for Dean and boobies.

I hoped I marked one story because, wow, will you like it.

::grabby hands::

I am also tempted by this knife stuff you mention.

Epiphany

Which I could find because I clearly called it "The One with the Knife." Good job, brain!

(I'd read it.)

I'd totally read it.

I *can* see Dean as pansexual? I can never make up my mind which way it went with him, when I'm really basing it on canon. There's a lot "I don't swing that way," with him, but then again that could be protesting too much. And certainly his interaction with Castiel in PoNR skewed that opinion.

Maybe Dean started thinking about new possibilities after being exposed to RPF fic about himself? Or that incident with the siren, which had to be an eyebrow-raiser given their usual M.O.

Sex and Violence! That's totally another indicator for me about Dean. But Dr. Sexy is the bigger one for me.

eta: Cass, I just read that fic, and oh, god. It killed me.
