You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Because books.

Season 1, Round 1, Bracket 1

  • shotgun/cakehole: totally sets up their dynamic, or what ita said

  • amateur!: Oh, Dean. But it's awesome anyway!

  • white meat: Dean's bravado here made me shiver. With happiness.

  • Vegas: This one was hard! But this has bravado and protectiveness!

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala

Okay, I made an effort to vote differently in the 1st bracket, but I gotta go with ita's choices for all the same reasons.

Bracket #2
Will an ibid here work?


§ ita § - May 19, 2010 8:16:24 am PDT #9549 of 30002
Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Season 1, Round 1, Bracket #3:

Dean: I think he wants us to pick up where he left off. You know, saving people, hunting things—the family business.

vs

Sam: We got work to do.

Kat: Why would anyone want a job like that?
Sam: I had a crappy guidance counselor.

vs

Sam: I miss conversations that didn't start with "this killer truck."

Sam: I wish I could have that kind of innocence.
Dean: If it means anything, sometimes I wish you could, too.

vs

Dean: We talkin', like, misdemeanor kind of trouble, or uh, squeal like a pig trouble?

Dean: You better take care of that car. Or, I swear, I'll haunt your ass.
Sam: I don't think that's funny.
Dean: Oh come on, it's a little funny

vs

Dean: I'd take our family over normal any day.

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

Ibid worked just because P/C had voted my way too (I RULE), ehab, but it's simplest if you spell it out again, just in case.

Bracket #3:

  • Family business: It's the other reason we're here, right?
  • Crappy guidance counselor: hard pick, because of how much I hate Route 666, but I feel Sam's pain
  • That kind of innocence: Note Dean doesn't wish it for himself. That ship has sailed. Beats his insouciance
  • Our family over normal: Oh, DEAN.

Season 1, Round 1, Bracket #4:

Dean: (to his Dad's voicemail) Dad, I know I've left messages before. I don't even know if you get 'em. But I'm with Sam and we're in Lawrence and there's something in our old house. I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not... but... (tears up) I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here... please. I need your help, Dad.

vs

Dean: Whoa, easy, tiger.

Dean: Vampires! Gets funnier every time I hear it...

vs

Dean: Oh sweetheart, I don't do shorts

Dean: But see, my mom - I know she wanted me to be brave. I think about that every day. And I do my best to be brave.

vs

Dean: I hope your apple pie is freakin’ worth it!

Dean: What made you change your mind?
Sam: I didn't. I still want to find dad... and you're still a pain in the ass. But Jess and mom - they're both gone. Dad is God knows where. You and me, we're all that's left. So, uh, if we're gonna see this through, we're gonna do it together.
Dean: Hold me, Sam. That was beautiful.

vs

Dean: Hey, Sam, who do you think is a hotter psychic: Patricia Arquette, Jennifer Love Hewitt, or you?

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

Bracket One:

Cakehole! Much more about the brothers.

The second one was tough, but I'm going to go with amateur, because the first one really needs Dean's reaction.

Bikini inspector--Sam and Dean show, and doesn't have a "bitch" in it.

Vegas! Because Vegas!, plus Dean being avoidy.
