me and supernatural could write a bad romance

Mystery Spot: When Sam catches the Trickster for the first time, do you guys remember what the Trickster's disguise was saying? HE WAS SAYING please please, don't hurt me, I have a WIFE NAMED AMELIA, I just SELL AD SPACE for-- and then Sam interrupts him blah blah blah. GUESS WHO ELSE HAS (HAD) A WIFE NAMED AMELIA and sells (sold) ad space.

YOU PROMISED HIM HIS FAMILY WAS GOING TO BE OKAY.

I also just wanted to post that picture. So is this laziness, forgetfulness, coincidence, or are you just fucking with us, Kripke?

Mystery Spot is hella heartwrenching. How FUCKED UP, I can't even imagine. It is the perfect Sam torture (I BELIEVE THE WORD IS WHUMPAGE?? I am learning! \o/) and how is he not more traumatized, geez.

Jus in Bello: THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO LIVE DAMMIT :( . Way to punch me in the gut.

Ruby: Having watched S4 and S5, I am conflicted whenever Ruby comes on. On the one hand, I really wanted to believe that she was good. On the other hand, she's right, she IS pretty awesome for having the cojones to orchestrate this betrayal. More power to her? But what is Kripke and Co.'s damage? The handful of major female characters who aren't evil demons end up dead. Must be to make room for the man-tears. Also, I think someone should do one of these for Supernatural.

Unrelatedly:
Episodes with multiple Deans: 3!
Episodes with multiple Sams: 0
Why? I mean, that's cool, Dean's hotter than Sam so I don't have any moral objection to two (2) Dean Winchesters. But why doesn't Sam get any doppelgangers?

SPOILERS FOR FUTURE EPISOOOODES (...SODES...SODES...):

Apparently there WILL be more Anna to come! Rejoice! Annaaaaaaaa. (Come on, show, I'm almost sold on Anna/Castiel/Dean, I just need a little tiny push.) And apparently we will have a bodyswap episode?! Kids, the word of the day is: Kripked.

Damn, son, SPN fandom comes with like its own lingo and shit.

A start-of-weekend meme, ganked from everyone: The first ten people to comment in this post get to request that I write a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing. In return, they have to post this in their journal, OR ELSE.

I'm taking requests in the following fandoms: Merlin, Narnia, Supernatural, Sherlock Holmes reboot, Fight Club, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, ummmm, and X-Files? Sure why not. Crossovers and fusions are encouraged.

GRATUITOUS GIF TIME!

I think I have a problem.

It's too random to be foreshadowing! Or is it? Is it just the actor improvising and he happened to have overheard the scriptwriters before the shot or whatever?!

(deleted comment)

Amelia is so not a common name! Is selling ad space on whatever a common profession? WHAT IS GOING ON.

(deleted comment)

No it's not, look at the backstories for "It's a Terrible Life". XD

(deleted comment)

Don't take backstory tips from Zachariah, Gabe!

THAT GIF IS NOT FOR REAL
NO WAY
IT IS JUST TOO.. TOO... I'm gonna say gay but I mean that in both ways. it is very delightful and happy, as well as fruity. That gif would make me think I have a problem too.

WOO DRABBLE

Watson/Holmes/Irene, push and pull

IT IS THE REALEST, Z, THE REALEST. Granted it's from one of the more cracked out episodes, but it is 100% legit. YOU'LL WATCH THIS SHOW YET! \o/

Hahaaaaaaa my problem extends to much more beyond the GIF. On someone's LJ they had a tag that read "dean/castiel is ruining my life" and I think I related.

Woo Holmes! I dunno if I'll ever write full-length for this fandom, but I'm gonna test the water out with drabbles 'cos it looks mad fun.

Oh for sure, I think to write full-length in Holmes you need 1) really good knowledge of Victorian era London, and/or 2) really awesome mystery plotting abilities. I have neither, sooo. yeah.

"It's this way," Holmes and Irene chorus as they go in opposite directions, which might've worked if they are not each supporting one side of a thoroughly inebriated John Watson.

"I know you think you know everything, Holmes, but I know my way around New York better than you do," Irene says testily, pulling Watson towards 34th Street.

"I know a shortcut," Holmes retorts, tugging him down 7th Avenue.

"We don't need to be taking anymore shortcuts, we're almost at the hotel!"

"It's like," Watson slurs, "it's like, being drawn and quartered... by horses who won't shut up."

"Are you telling me I'm horsey?" Holmes demands indignantly.

"I think he's telling you to shut up," Irene mutters.

"We should've gone to Mycroft's estate," Watson sighs, and everyone secretly agrees.

(deleted comment)

Mycroft is relieved they decided to holiday in New York instead.

XDDDD

HORSES WHO WON'T SHUT UP

HOLMES IS SUCH A QUEEEEN

ILU LASS <3333

LU MOAR

OMGOODNESS, I want a Merlin/Sherlock Holmes crossover thing. Set in Magical Albion Whateverness, with Holmes & Watson coming to court. Maybe to solve a mystery. As they do.

"The question is not whether Tristan du Bois has risen from the dead," Holmes explains, "but how he did."

"It's sorcery," Uther assures them.

"You keep saying that like it means somethi--hunh!" says Holmes, the last syllable being caused by the sudden application of Watson's cane to Holmes's shoe.

"What he means, your majesty," Watson says with a smile, "is that we will give this investigation our most thorough attention. Your majesty has our word."

Uther watches the pair leave the court with their heads bowed in argument ("Watson, do you know how much these shoes cost me?" "Shoes are the least of your problems right now!" "You must take me shoe shopping at my earliest convenience."), and says to Gaius, sotto voce, "Tell me again how you know these people."

"Holmes once poisoned my dog, sire," Gaius replies.

Uther nods sagely. "Ah."

SHOE SHOPPING IN ALBION <33

Awesomeness.

Something that matches his waistcoat this time!

"Holmes once poisoned my dog, sire," Gaius replies.

Of course he did! though, Gaius being Gaius, and this being Camelot, I'm sure it got better.

"If Sherlock Holmes offers you a taste of something, say NO," Gaius warns everyone.

I want Holmes reboot fic so bad! Anything involving Watson being all Doctorly on Holmes! Bonus if he's patching him up after a fight. Double bonus if he's snarking at him and maybe prodding him a little too hard because he's annoyed at Holmes for fighting for some reason.

OR ALSO, Fight Club/Supernatural crossover fuck yeah.

Heee, I just did 2 Holmes, so I'm gonna go with your second prompt.

You think Tyler is gone, really gone this time, but it's hard to tell: sometimes you think you see his smirk in a puddle of demon blood, or hear his triumphant laugh when you sink a stake into a vampire.

You don't tell Marla this. The only reason she's still hunting with you is that she thinks you're sane, but the exact words you said to her were, "I'm as sane as any of the other hunters out there," but that isn't saying much. You think she suspects sometimes. Sometimes you suspect she stays only because she's scared to be alone, but that's okay, you are too.

The first rule of hunting is you don't tell anyone about hunting, and you're excellent at keeping secrets.

"Bobby says there's a wraith up in Delaware," Marla says, wiping her dagger clean. A cigarette dangles out the corner of her mouth, and when she looks up you see a smudge of demon blood on her cheek.

You reach over and wipe it off.

"Let's go," you say, and you both climb in the Impala, and you drive into the night.

That was deeply awesome.

"I'm as sane as any of the other hunters out there," but that isn't saying much

Especially that, such a FC line but also, so very SPN true.

Hurrah! Glad you liked it :D

Man, I miss Fight Club. And I never knew how much I needed Marla Singer: Demon Slayer in my life until your prompt. XD

That gif, oh, it brings me JOY! Because that episode was about 3 hours to SHORT. Am I a bad person for wanting them to end up in pay-per-view gay porn? With Castiel in duct tape? No? :)

Wait...what...OH TRICKSTER! I have absolutely no doubt that it was on purpose, but I suspect the reverse; that is, in giving Jimmy backstory, someone thought, "hey! Let's use what the Trickster said in Mystery Spot! It will drive all the fangirls to heavy drinking!" Because...yes, indeed. *slams rum and coke* Although I will truly be impressed if they reveal something about Gabriel that relates all the way back to Jimmy. Not that I'm holding my breath for that, mind you.

Mystery Spot: I have to say, having lived through the death of close loved ones, I cannot imagine a worse torture than living through it every day. If people want to fault Sam for wrecking himself in season four, I point to "Mystery Spot" because how could that NOT have driven him crazy, literally clinically crazy, to watch Dean die over and over again and THEN to have him die "for good". (Only a couple of fics I've ever read brought up the point that, after Dean died in the end of "No Rest for the Wicked", Sam was facing EXACTLY what he faced previously during "Mystery Spot". In fact, in Mystery Spot, Dean stays dead for six months (by Sam's perception), two months longer than he really did stay dead.) Also, I think the episode shows that the Trickster does have a soft spot for Sam, even if his methods are somewhat perverse.

Jus in Bello: Whenever people ride the show for sexism because they always kill off female characters, I point to this episode. Hendriksen was a FANTASTIC character, and had the potential to be as important a part of the SPN story as Bobby is now. But no, he did not even get the honor of an on-screen death, which is at least as much as Ellen and Jo got. (for the record, yes, there are plenty reasons to ride SPN about re: sexism, I just don't think killing off female characters is one of them.) I'm still flummoxed as to WHY they killed everyone off at the end of this ep, it was a profoundly alienating thing to do to the viewers. *scratches head* I mean, the virgin, yes; because killing her was important to make the point that Dean's refusal to sacrifice anyone on his watch is noble but proves ultimately more destructive (a point I think is interesting going into the last part of season five; is it possible that all their determination to say NO to Michael and Lucifer is just going to make things worse? A disturbing philosophical question, the answer to which I think is probably yes. Unfortunately.)

For all the Ruby!hate in the fandom, I have to say: she was one wickedly smart bitch. She WON.

Dean/Anna/Castiel, you say? Hmmm...HMMMMMMMMM....If I had not come in as commentator #34 or whatever, I would have requested that.

Actually you would only be the fourth to leave a prompt! So a leave a prompt for that ship while I work on the rest of your comment. :D

Oooo! Ooo! Okay! Even though that means I have to put this in my own journal now...evil, you are. Oh wait, I said that...

Dean/Anna/Castiel - jealous-but-confused!Cas wanting in on the action somehow. :)

It's like being back at the barn again, watching Anna kiss Dean, except this time Dean kisses Anna first and she presses back against him. She angles her head to the side and puts her hand on the back of Dean's neck.

Humanity is still something Castiel is trying to understand, and he isn't always ready when his body reacts faster than his will. It's strange for someone used to traveling at the speed of thought. There is a slow ache that gathers under his ribs, and Castiel wonders if that is just the body, or if it's really him, or if - as the angels claimed in heaven when they whisked him away - there is no longer any significant difference between the two.

"You walk among humans, you pick up some things," Uriel had told him, "whether you want to or not."

Anna is such an oddity, the angel-cum-human-cum-angel who experienced more changes in form than any of them, and yet she is the least troubled. There is no waffling over where her loyalties lie, or what she is, or who she is. To her, her path is clear, and is it any wonder that both he and Dean are drawn to her stability, they whose allegiances have been severed and salvaged over and over again.

+

There has been no word from Sam for days, but this is to be expected, and Castiel sees the impatience that thrums through Dean's body, how irritable and snappish he has become. They are waiting for Sam's call to action, and with nothing to do, the days feel unnaturally quiet and stretched tight.

Dean is the calmest when Anna is around, and Castiel sees all the same tricks Anna uses to reach out to him that she once used on Castiel. She touches Dean's hand and holds it tight; she looks into his eyes with angelic single-mindedness, underlined by the strange soft power of human connection.

To Castiel's lack of surprise, Dean bends to her.

"Would you look at them?" Chuck grumbles to Castiel. "You know, prophets always get screwed over. They die, they get exiled, they get their faith tested, and they never get the girl. They go for the big brawny mooks every time. You ever notice that?"

"You... wish to get Anna?" Castiel asks.

"Or some hot angel, I'm not picky."

"I've been told I'm hot," he says, matter-of-fact.

"Yeah well, you're not really my type." Chuck gives him a sidelong glance. "Who said you were hot?"

"Anna. And Chastity, in Maine."

A pause.

"Whatever," Chuck sighs. "I'm just... I'm gonna go type up some prophecies, or something."

+

GAH I FAIL. This is neither a drabble or a Dean/Anna/Castiel (YET) but it seems a waste to bin it, so I'm just gonna post it here right now before it develops any more plot. What is meant to happen next is that Cas and Anna reminisce about the past, and their bond, and then they talk about Dean maybe. Then, I dunno, Dean convinces them to watch a DVD on Chuck's laptop ("Hey, give it back! I'm writing your gospels here!" "No you're not, 'cos all I see in this Word document is gay porn."), and Anna, Castiel, and Dean snuggle on the couch with a blanket and watch 'Back to the Future' while Chuck glowers in the background and Bobby smirks to himself. End scene? I should've just written this last part up instead maybe, but oh well, mysterious ways.

I fail to see fail here...well except that it is about 10k words to short. I'm sure you can fix that little problem, no sweat. ;)

I actually really like the slow pace of this (I am not one for stories that throw people in bed together gasping "oh I've always wanted you!", for which I could just read a bodice-ripper from the grocery store). Castiel looking, Anna acting, Dean reacting are all well played against each other. I love Anna's surety here, as seen through Castiel's eyes (and memories).

Also! Gratuitous Chuck FTW! I love stories where the Prophet and the Angel talk to each other, because for being agents of God they have really different takes on everything. You really captured that disconnect, while also making it clear that they DO understand each other for better or worse.

I hope you eventually write the snuggling on the couch. I admit that I treasure the idea of Dean freaking out about it, and Castiel all "what is this snuggling thing of which you speak?" while Anna just moves the show along. *grin*

But awwww, Chuck. Who does Chuck get to snuggle with? :(

THANK YOU this is WONDERFUL! ♥

I am not one for stories that throw people in bed together
Neither am I. I'm generally not a porn person, and am more about the slow subtext. I reckon one day I'll come back to this fic and play around with it some more, maybe turn it into the Cas/Anna I was talking about in my other post.

I looove Chuck, every time he appears on my screen I have joy. I'm glad you like his gratuitous cameo XD. I think interactions between him and anyone is always potentially funny/bizarre because he's so out of place all the time. His fourth wall angst is so amusing.

Man, all three of them on the couch, and Anna flirting with Cas, teasing him about how he's such a robot, and Dean is like *amused eyebrow raise*, then Anna arranges the blanket around the three of them.

Chuck can maybe snuggle with Becky, not that I think that's gonna end well. They're both crazy.

Thank YOU.

that episode was about 3 hours to SHORT.
Truest. That duct tape on Cas was so gratuitous. I wanted them to cycle through every show ever! I want them in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, with Cas as the straight guy.

Although I will truly be impressed if they reveal something about Gabriel that relates all the way back to Jimmy. Not that I'm holding my breath for that, mind you.
Right?! Are we supposed to notice this? Is it oversight? Or sneakiness? Why was Gabriel watching Jimmy if not because he is in fact keeping tabs on Cas? And why?

Man, too many awesome people die! Like, throughout the whole show. It is a heartbreaker, but I commend the show for making me care when they die. I still find the race/gender breakdown of evil/dead people on this show to be kinda skeevy. Why so disposable?

My money is that one of the brothers will say yes to being a vessel, probably Sam. Then Dean will have to freak out and go save him, with Castiel in tow. YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS JUST THINKING?? What if it comes down to, like, so the brothers Winchester are in mortal peril or whatever and Dean tells Castiel to save Sam, go save Sam, forget about me. Castiel is like I WON'T DO THAT, but Dean is on kamikaze-mode again and he INSISTS, and for Castiel it's like the first war all over again. It's like God telling the angels, "If you truly love me, then you will love and serve humanity, which I also love," and Castiel suddenly understands why Lucifer fell.

What happens after Dean dies of old age, do you think? Do he and Cas finally get to play house in heaven? Or does it not work that way. Are dead people heaven and angel heaven different? These are the questions that keep me up at night.

O I C U DRINKING THE SPN ~~KOOL AID~~ DEMON BLOOD.

The first two seasons are the best, I sincerely hope you didn't skip around because you were curious about Castiel. ::SRS GLARE::

Ok, time for the vidspam.

Ode to Misha

Those vids are... MAGNIFICENT.

So, when I saw Sherlock Holmes the other week, I thought to myself, "I bet Ri would get into this. I bet she'd write excellent fanfiction for it, that I would enjoy."

MAKE THESE THOUGHTS COME TRUE?

Well gimme a character/ship and a prompt, dude!

... you know, I had a long comment here yesterday, before LJ decided to go down and I couldn't post it and then I had to go to bed and my siblings closed my windows without asking me in the morning. :(

anyway! abridged version: KRIPKE. DUDE. clearly, there's an angelic gossip chain and Gabriel's hooked into it somehow, and they spy on each other and on the potential vessels ALL THE TIME. ("Barachiel's got the reformed-prostitute-vessel! HAHA.")

MYSTERY SPOT. JUS IN BELLO. oh god, those two are so heartbreaking. especially especially Mystery Spot. it's like the trickster created a personalized hell for Sam. *winces* ow ow ow. and the mood whiplash! AGH. NO FAIR.

CAS/DEAN/ANNA. I ship it! I also ship, because of crazily well written ficlet (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_castiel/654039.html?thread=2545111), Cas/Tessa/Dean. yup, the pretty Reaper!

(oooh. only three people have requested ficlets. does that mean I can still ask?)

I'm with

almostinstinct when she says that it poses more questions about Castiel than it does about Gabriel. I bet he's got some skeletons in his closet.

AHAHA there must totally be an angelic gossip chain. I bet Uriel gossips most of all. The mood whiplash was amazing, I kinda loved it. It was lol heartbreak lol heartbreak for forty glorious minutes.

Yes, you are number six! Prompt me :D

but! Castiel couldn't choose his vessel's background, and Gabriel totally had the pick of the world when it came to his made-up background.

Uriel TOTALLY gossiped most of all. that's what everyone misses him for most. "Uriel always knew what people were up to." they forgot that that translates to knowing which angels are heading towards a fall. oh, angels. and omggg I know! I was sitting there laughing insanely and feeling bad about it because Dean was dying! but it was funny! and then BAM Sam is heartbroken and Dean is actually dead and ACK. so mean of him, and yet such a fabulous episode!

*chin in hands* hmmm. Merlin/Narnia, Susan & Morgana? the past and the future and dreams.

In a London pub, two women.

+

"Lady Morgana, please--"

"No, and that is final answer."

"It took me so long to find you--"

"Susan, there is some magic you don't--"

"You can't imagine what it's cost me."

"--want to wake up, and whatever pain you're going through right now--"

"I have tried everything else, Lady Morgana, please--"

"Susan Pevensie, I cannot give you your family back."

+

In a London pub, a woman alone.

omgggg SUSAN. LASS. SUSAN.

and MORGANA. and how Susan uses Morgana's title! *flails* YES YES YES.

SUSAN

<3 :D

Ummmm can I request Edmund/Gwen crossover fic???? :D :D :D

But of course! Gimme a prompt word/lyric/picture/whatever and it'll be on the to-do list.

Gwen and Edmund are In Love, and now it is time to meet their respective families! (Or pseudo family in Gwen's case.)

[Lol, I keep seeing your Supernatural posts, is this an interesting show I should watch? Are there enough girls to keep me interested or is it just about the boys being cool?]

Much as I'm adoring it right now, I will concede that it is All About The Boys. There are a shit-ton of fridged women, dead minorities, and a questionable percentage of female villains. Other than that, this show is totally hitting my buttons. Folklore and religion! Daddy issues! Loyalty vs. codependence! Road trips!

idk, it's my Merlin rebound.

"Morgana is frightening," Edmund decides, when they finally have a moment alone again. It has not been easy; their respective families have been eager to be together often, for purposes of easier interrogation of the future spouse.

"She can be," Gwen admits, "but she means well. At least Arthur and Lancelot behaved themselves, I thought there might be more of a tussle from them."

"Oh really?" Edmund says, and decides not to tell her about Arthur and Lancelot cornering him in the hall and promising to break his legs if he breaks her heart.

"They're exceedingly protective," Gwen sighs. "Morgana and I are trying to break them of the habit. Perhaps find them a better hobby."

"What do they usually like to do?"

"Kill things in a noble fashion, last I checked. Assign themselves the guardians of my honor, on occasion."

"Ah. Yes, that first one can be good fun." Edmund considers this. "Perhaps my brother can invite them on a hunt. Does Merlin hunt?"

Gwen smiles. "Not really."

"Then perhaps he and the Lady Morgana would like to be given an extensive tour of Cair Paravel by my sister instead."

She slips her arms around his waist and kisses his chin. "I'm sure they'd love that."

"Would they?"

"They will at least pretend to."

"And what about you?" Edmund asks, resting his hands on her hips. "What would you like to do?"

"Perhaps," Gwen muses, "you and I can go on a picnic?"

"As you wish," he says, and kisses her.

"Now hurry to your siblings before my friends find us with more questions!"

alskdj yessss! Poor Gwen and Edmund, your families are TOO PROTECTIVE OF YOU, well probably Edmund's family knows he can take care of himself. Yay to LAncelot and ARthur being silly and overprotective, and Morgana <333. A+, Lass!

Thanks XD Arthur and Lancelot would make the most lug-headed big brothers, they would be great.
