It's multifandom!

And not that the following has anything to do with summer, but here is a snippet about Dean shortly after 7x03 where he's sad about Sam and Cas. Action-packed stuff, I know. Explosions, car chases, etc.

Just collecting some of the shorter tumblrfics in one place.

A. prompted: ( Luther, Alice/John, wedding )

No one prompted: ( Ruby's hell angst )

This is still Annie's fault somehow but: ( Camp Chitaqua plays baseball )

Ruble wanted: ( reinterpreted Red Riding Hood. )

I tried to write original fic but in the end it turned out to be: ( just another SPN AU. )

Z prompted Mishalecki gangsterverse from that time they thought Jared was a snitch and so: ( J2M gen, warning for torture )

Oh hey, remember that jossed Cas/Meg amnesiac!priest AU fic I wrote a few months ago? I wrote a little coda to it, because Cally said, "Being told he is not alone by someone whose face forever eludes him... but he isn’t alone, is he? He’s got Meg. Meanwhile Meg finds herself missing the Castiel that would smite her as soon as look at her. At least that Castiel she knew what to do with. She’s not supposed to owe him anything, but he’s not supposed to look at her like he trusts her."

( It happens in the woods outside of Paxton. )

In other news, it's Henriksen Week on tumblr and my computer with the Photoshop is gone so I am sulking as I get over a stomach virus, and also here's a Victor at Camp Chitaqua thing that Emily and I co-wrote one time and one of us should continue.

I HAVE MANY FINALE THOUGHTS, but first, a fic.


Over Our Heads
Supernatural. Lisa/Castiel. R. Spoilers: through 6x10.
Starts after 'You Can't Handle the Truth' and continues from there. "Lisa wasn't really praying. She was just exhausted and lonely, and she didn't really believe anyone was listening." ~3300 words

All the parts of the story Dean left untold start to fall into place.

Chuck discovers an essay Becky wrote about Wincest.

Chuck is Johnny Truant, Becky is Zampano, and the house is Wincest. Cas is the minotaur, SUCH PERFECTION. The format of the book is weirdly conducive to fangirl feels. Like, really conducive. I recommend downloading the PDF for the full visual effect.

OMG SO. twasadark recorded Bring Out Your Dead and it's prologue/prequel, The Future as B-Movie as podfics! You can download the files here. Thank you, twasadark!

This is one of those fics that never would've been written were it not for a commentfic prompt, and Uno and I are forever grateful to maychorian for letting us take her prompt and run with it hard and fast, cackling maniacally. Croatpocalyptic road trip gen h/c, if you're into it. Plus vampires.

I haven't watched SPN 7x18 yet, but I have some 7x17-related recs. I'll put them behind a cut for spoilers.

I'm also into The Sopranos like a billion years too late. Damn, that shit is bleak, I can't take too much of it at a time. I can't help but wonder if it had had a fandom then like fandoms work now, what it'd be like. I bet there'd be a lot of Christopher apologism hahahaha DX. If the characters were younger and prettier, I bet there'd be slash up the wazoo. I am also watching the Sarah Connor Chronicles and am already dreading running out of episodes, MAN. It keeps giving me things I never knew I needed. why did they cancel this show.

But another thing about The Sopranos: they keep playing all the classic rock songs that SPN used in Tony's strip club. I get cognitive dissonance. Brother feelings? DENIED. JERSEY MOBSTER SKEEVINESS WHILE TOPLESS WOMEN GYRATE IN THE BACKGROUND.

Also I am co-writing a Big Bang with zempasuchil. It's an S4 AU where Cas's vessel is Sam, and it's not gen.

I'm 83 pages into Carlos Ruiz Zafon's "The Angel's Game" and I'm really loving his style, or at least the translation. The blurb had me at "dark gothic Barcelona", "pulp fiction writer", and something called "the Cemetery of Forgotten Books". It sounds foreboding and it gets pretty grim, but I am also delighted at the author's self-deprecating humor. Here's a short quote:

Don Basilio was a forbidding-looking man with a bushy mustache who did not suffer fools and who subscribed to the theory that the liberal use of adverbs and adjectives was the mark of a pervert or someone with a vitamin deficiency. Any journalist prone to florid prose would be sent off to write funeral notices for three weeks. If, after this penance, the culprit relapsed, Don Basilio would ship him off permanently to the 'House and Home' pages. We were all terrified of him, and he knew it.

"Did you call me, Don Basilio?" I ventured timidly.

This is for Annie, with whom I have been flailing about post-7x02 Meg/amnesiac!priest!Cas for a while now, and anyway I should post this before it gets well and truly jossed.


Title: Living Backwards
Characters: Castiel/Meg
Rating: adult
Notes: Thank you to callowyn for betareading.
Summary: Post 7x02. “It wasn’t that he found peace, but that he found silence, which is an adequate placebo for now.“ ~3000 words

It’s just that she’s the only one who knocks the static loose these days. When they touch, he can’t tell which one of them is on fire.

Some time ago I found an old notebook of mine full of bits of fic, and it's so weird reading it, like when did I even write this? I barely have a recollection. There's Smith/Wesson on the road, post-5x22 Dean&Cas, Arthur/Morgana SPN AU in modern Britain, et cetera. Also I found an old flash drive that needs excavating and God only knows what's on that.

But instead of posting things that make sense, have a snippet of the AU where Sam and Jared are brothers. THAT'S RIGHT, Sam, Dean, and Jared are brothers who save people and hunt things. When Sam went to Stanford, Jared stuck around with Dean. This fic is set after the hypothetical pilot. Because sometimes (most times) when it's late at night and I'm chatting with callowyn and zempasuchil, things spiral out of control.

To conclude, It Usually Washes Off is a NC17 Cas/Meg fic by fossarian that I really enjoyed, so I rec it to you!

I just finished the Sanctuary episode where Will (or Hank?) refers to the Sanctuary team as a dysfunctional family. HAHAHA. AHAHAHAHAHA. AHAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA. That's cute, Hank (or Will). Real cute! SO CUTE. Oh Sanctuary team, we'll talk about familial dysfunction when one of you destroys timelines, tries to overthrow a kingdom, starts civil wars, and/or sells your soul to a demon because a family member is dead. I'M AFRAID YOU ARE SPARKLY AND FULL OF RAINBOWS, AND YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT.

+ You know how zempasuchil erased my Dean fic, In God's Country, into a handful of valor? Well, xenoamorist has recorded 'a handful of valor' as a podfic! You can stream the recording and I suggest you do so. She has a lovely voice.

+ heshipsj2 has translated Red Light, Green Light, my Matt/Misha Blindfold fill from last round, into Spanish, which you can read here. Thanks, heshipsj2!

+ I haven't been around on LJ as much, and part of the reason is that I spend more time on tumblr these days, bullying fandom with poetry and nursing 'verses where Castiel's vessel is fire or a tiger. Also noir AU, because 7x12 is THE BEST and I hope 1940s!Dean never leaves my dash. TUMBLR, MAN. I never meant to be fo' shiz about it but then it just... kinda... happened.

+ Also I wrote 245 words of Claire and Deerstiel for Lizzen, who asked for it, which is as good a time as any to re-rec the original Deerstiel and the time Claire went hunting because DAMN.

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE OF SPN WAS SUPERAWESOME AND FEEL FREE TO TALK ABOUT IT TO ME IN COMMENTS, but this post is about Dean/Mary because mumblemutter reminded me of my inclinations and I was gonna reblog it with the conversation destronomics had on the subject one time, but I don't know how to do lj-cuts on tumblr so instead of being not lazy and learning how, I'm just gonna post it here, plus further thoughts. I've removed the OMGGGGG and AAAAAAAAHHHH from the transcript for easier reading.

Thank you, zempasuchil, for granting me an extension and for running this awesome challenge! For erasureathon, I erased alice_pike's lovely 1sentence Ron/Ginny fic into, um... Claire Novak in the aftermath of The Rapture. I'M SORRY FOR MY ONE-TRACK MIND. I mean, I guess if you squint and turn sideways, it could possibly be not about Supernatural, but my Claire Novak feelings guided my erasing, so. Yeah. Incidentally, if you are reading this on LJ, Alice is also the one who made me this icon :3. NOVAK TRAUMA FOR ALICE, I hope you enjoy it, my dear. I'm sorry it's late!

BTW, you should also read the superamazing erasure that Z did of my fic about Castiel being Dean's creepy invisible friend: a handful of valor. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, YOU GUYS omggggg. *_____*

Do you guys remember "Odyssey 5", that show with Sebastian Roche (playing scifi!Balthazar, right down to the darlings and the orgies) where they have to back in time five years to stop the earth from exploding? If you're interested in watching it, I made a download masterpost for it here. Maybe I just want people to know what I'm talking about when I start babbling about Kurt Mendel being Balthazar's vessel or how he was Jacob's biology professor in MIT. JACOB/KURT, YOU GUYS.

Here's one of those "year in fic" round-up memes. I put the questions before the list of fics because holy crap, that is a lot of fics.

You know that feeling you get when you are supposed to go to the beach but then you get sick and you can't go? It's a shitty fucking feeling. I HAVE THAT FEELING RIGHT NOW. A CANYON OF SADNESS FOR ME.

So instead, you're getting my thoughts on 'Once Upon a Time' because oh my god. So it's like live-action traditional fairy tale fanfic, right. It's almost like an isurrendered meme come to life. The more I was babbling about it to animus_wyrmis, the more I realized that the story is doing in its actual canon what I strove to do with, say, Susan Pevensie and the Novaks. ( Why should you settle for being a character in someone else's story? General spoilers. )

Also, me and my weakness for gangster movies are kind of super really excited for 'Manila Kingpin: The Asiong Salonga Story'. Asiong Salonga was the boss gangster in Manila in the 1940s/50s. There's been at least three movies based on his life already, so... here is number four, I guess? IT'S RELEVANT TO MY INTERESTS THOUGH SO OKAY.



HIGH-SPEED CALESA CHASE/GUNFIGHT SEQUENCE AHAHA GIVE IT TO ME. Also here is a music video of one of the soundtrack songs already. The title translates to 'King of Tondo', Tondo being one of the poorest and most underdeveloped districts of the city.

First, 22by7 has been posting some awesome A:TLA fanart. I am particularly fond of this Aang/Katara/Zuko (NSFW-ish) and old!Katara and old!Zuko.

Next, I don't have polling capabilities, so we're gonna do this the old-fashioned way.

POLL #fjdsklf: WHAT COMES NEXT?
1) Do a picspam comparing Supernatural's "The End" and Sanctuary's "Pavor Nocturnus" because SERIOUSLY NOW AHAHAHA
2) make Kill Bill screencaps. O-REN ISHII MAFIA BOSS OF MY HEART <3
3) Frozen Earth picspam!
4) ...the hell is up with this picspam craze? Write Jimmy/Jacob.
5) You told Annie and Lui you'd write the amnesia!priest!Cas/Meg road trip fic already, so do that.
6) What if original fiction? WHAT IF.
7) Have you not been threatening to write Chin/Kono for like forfuckingever now?
8) the one where Let Me In is a Claire AU
9) Morgana/Gwen as Hades/Persephone fusion
10) Do the dishes, you bum.

Here is a related meme: Tell me about a story I haven't written and I'll give you 1-3 sentences of or about it. FUCK YOU, DISHES.

Also, I am stocking up on as many movies and TV shows as I can before I go back to the old country next month, so if you have any recs, I would appreciate it! I like: creepy children, moral ambiguity, the apocalypse, The Godfather, stories about stories within stories etc., assassins, doppelgangers, wacky heists, musicals, fourth-wall fuckery, theology angst, desolate landscapes, surrealism, and repurposed fairy tales. :D?
