Things we do not throw away: the amulet, the keys to the Impala, our souls.

This.

I'm hearing rumblings--Variety rumors--that the new teen vampire show will be debuting at 9:00 on Thursday with the VD lead-in. Which would mean moving SPN to the 9pm Friday death slot after Smallville. The real kicker? They're talking no new show till midseason, or January. Nothing confirmed, just rumor. But I wonder if there's any truth behind the rumor.

Well, it does seem they're moving it there for the summer.

NOTHING UNTIL MIDSEASON? Would it be a full season order? Nah, still wouldn't be worth it, unless maybe the guys were doing great projects in their downtime. Which I won't believe until I see.

Well, if they've known about it ahead of time, it would have been a significant chunk of time to spend on a decent movie project. But it sounds like the network is still hammering out the fall schedule.

It would still be a full season, just run without the two usual hiatuses straight through to May or June.

NOTHING UNTIL MIDSEASON?

NOO!

I am reading the spoiler thread. I've been out of there for years and years. I just hit 2009. Once I get to a year ago, I have to get back out. Yes, I am reading old spoilers so that I am not tempted to go read new spoilers. My life is sad.

While I appreciate the idea of no hellatus I'm not down with waiting that long until my first new view of the boys. Especially since I figure we're at risk of some sort of cliffhanger.

I would very much like this rumour to not pan out.

Imagine the spoiler whoring then! I'd be shameless. Also, I might run out of fic.

Which reminds me, I really need to fish or cut bait on that Dean/Castiel rec list. Let me see what I have so far.

Yes, yes you do.

Also, the picture thing. To borrow from the other thread, maybe Kane and his hair?

maybe Kane and his hair?

Yes.

I don't quite know what the question was but the answer is always Yes.

no new show until midseason

I don't feel very well.

Okay, here go the recs. Not sure how many posts this will turn into, but I'm separating out the light, PG ones for the first post. Some of these have been posted here before, by me and others, and those I've put an asterisk by the title of. Hope I caught them all.

Everything has a rating, and the summaries are the official summaries. Anything in italics is from me.

Good Things Do Happen *
PG: Best zombie christmas ever As previously noted, pure adorable schmoop.

Anonymous: If On a Winter’s Night a Fangirl
PG13 “Chuck,” Becky said, slowly and carefully and very, very seriously. “I think someone is trying to communicate with us through the fanfic.” Fourth wall? What fourth wall?.

Anonymous: Creature of Habit
PG 13 he more you love someone, the more you want to kill them. Or: How Cas developed some bad habits, and Dean coped surprisingly well.

cloudyjenn: How to Romance a Human
PG13: Castiel consults outside sources for romantic help

pyrebi: Something About Toads
PG13: There's something about a toad, and about a purple moon, and about a gay freakout, and then there's the happy ending.

maychorian: Chocolate Gash Tortoise
PG: Non-metaphorical cupcakes

Library of Sol: Important Angel Business
PG: Sam has no idea how Gabriel got his number. Okay, this is sliding in on a technicality. But a cute one!

sparky77: Spilt Milk *

Twitterpated

Less light. Either porn or angst, pretty much, sometimes both.

Sing and I Will Hear You *
PG13: Kitten. In the rain.

My Atelier: A Hole in the World
PG

Strangeness & Charm - Thursday's Child *
NC17: So I got to wondering: what would have happened if past!Dean hadn’t turned up in 2014, and future!Dean had actually succeeded in killing Lucifer with the Colt?

vichan: Reflection of You
R: Dark, drug use, angst, torture, graphic violence, character death, good guys doing bad things, disturbing content, and an even more disturbing inspiration. Both Dean and Castiel are Not Nice people. That might cover all the bases. The End-verse.

aramley: No Stranger in Your Dreams
R: "What would you dream about, Castiel, I wonder?"

Pandarus: The Consequences of Falling.
NC17: A story in fifteen parts, in which the angel Castiel finds himself put in an untenable position, and consequentially loses his grace. In which he goes on a roadtrip with a demon, discovers the delights of tequila and french fries and pie, plays a starring role in a virgin sacrifice, is deflowered by his favourite Winchester, and then gets some very unpleasant news indeed.

tracy_loo_who: Pretty Angel
NC17: Michael has a plan to break Team Free Will, and it involves turning Castiel into a rentboy.

everysecondtues: Things Dean Winchester Loves
R: Castiel makes a list, Sam gives good advice, and Dean takes a while to catch on.

Strangeness & Charm - Three’s A Crowd
NC17: Okay, so, you’re a ghost. And you’re in love with Dean Winchester, but he doesn’t know you exist. Awkward, right? But not nearly as awkward as it gets when the man you love is rescued from Hell by an angel and you realize that they’re destined to end up together.

haruslex: Did what I could, for one of us *
R: The one good thing he can say about the Apocalypse is that it gave him Cas by his side. And he will never let him go. Never.

scaramouche: Close Encounters
R: You know those really cheesy sci-fi/fantasy romantic comedies of the 1980s like Splash, Mannequin and Electric Dreams? This is exactly that.

My Atelier: The Day We Saved The World
R: Dean gets everything he ever wanted.

My Atelier: Welcome to Oz
NC17: Dean wakes up in the cheerfully painted yellow kitchen of a middle class home in Suburbia, USA. There are two things that tip him off to the fact that he’s in a state that ain’t Kansas or reality It took me a bit to get into this, but by the time I did I was completely hooked, and came back and read the whole (long) thing again the next day

aenissesthai: Catalysis
R: Castiel walks into a trap meant for Dean and Sam, spurring a series of increasingly violent reactions from all involved.

somemyth: You Were Just A Dream In The Back Of My Head
R: He doesn't know what it feels like anymore, to love Dean, but he can remember it so vividly it's almost as if he still does.
