write like you need it to survive

Ahahahaha okay so this meme is a lot harder than I thought it would be when I posted it! So I apologize if my responses are totally unsatisfying. Feel free to ask follow up questions if I am that person who just rambles uninformatively about something no one cares about in DVD commentaries.

Oh God I am the person who just rambles about boring things in DVD commentaries.

Ahem.

I blame fandomsecrets.

So I saw this secret (from here) and I didn't scoff, really, I just kind of went, "Uh, whatever, secretmaker" and got on with my generalized state of Dean/Castiel/yesplz.

And then--okay, actually then (during the fourth act of tonight's Vampire Diaries) I read zimshan's post linked in this evening's newsletter: 'How to End the World': Sharing Blame and Responsibilities in the context of Choice and Free Will in the SPNverse.

And then in that particular frame of mind, I watched tonight's episode and ( Spoiler and general wtfery. )

Because, uh, I'd never written a fic that included the phrase praise God unironically before. \o?

Beta thanks to iulia! First couple of lines of dialogue cribbed from e. e. cummings.


Set during 5x01. Gen. PG. 1,338 words.
Unspoilery summary: There was just one person who I thought must be experiencing unadulterated delight during the episode, and this is that person's story.
Spoilery summary, highlight to read: Jimmy was laughing even as he fell to his knees.

1) remixredux09 is all revealed, so I can now announce my story here:

Warm Strangers (The Next of Kin Remix), from extraonions' story Warm Strangers

Bobby Singer, post-"Jus in Bello".
He listens long enough to hear Monument, Colorado and then he hangs up, pulls back onto the road and starts driving.

2) And furthermore, the author of Two Heroes (Small Town Girl Remix) is revealed as the fabulous jae_w!

3) Apparently print sources documenting the usage actually prefer "didn't use to" to "didn't used to".

4) Yeah, I just put the period outside the quotation mark.

5) Yeah, everything I'm trying to write is stuck so bad I'm googling stuff like "didn't use to" tense construction and checking out the Google Books results.

Another double-drabble, quick before it gets jossed by tonight's episode.

pharis requested what happened while Castiel was in Heaven, so this is set during 4x20, "The Rapture."


( Never Alone )

I find myself not wanting to post little things I otherwise might, because then I will have to endure the Herculean task of copying and pasting and retyping the subject line and hitting 'post' all over again. My life, so hard.

Ahem.

Soooo this morning in the shower I started scripting Dean and Castiel having a minor theological debate while naked. (Spoiler: Castiel wins.) I feel a lot worse about the theology than the nudity. Um, not that I'm writing it or anything.

Also, in case you were wondering, the current preferred translation for Gideon Bibles is the NKJV.


ALSO! It is now middle-to-late April, which MEANS! NHL PLAYOFF SEASON!

The Caps lost last night, probably because I was not able to watch the game (curse my cable package!), but I will attempt to do better for the Red Wings' first game tonight. As soon as I figure out what to wear (obv. what I wore last season worked, at least for last season--but this year I've had some luck wearing the jersey! I JUST DON'T KNOW.)

Also also also: thanks to grrliz who breaks it all down into very small words with illustrations and arrows, I now have a pretty pretty journal layout over at Dreamwidth! Where by pretty I of course mean black text on white with some little black outlines. Mmmm minimalism. Also, Oh God I wish it were that easy to make my website look that nice. Aaaagh, website. ETA: Actually, I guess it's gray on white, isn't it? Anyway.

Also^4, all my peeps who watch Criminal Minds (especially those who spent last week's ep clutching their hearts for REID OMG) should go watch the beautiful Reid vid, Day Carry Night by tearful_eye. REEEEEEEID. And also a really well done vid with a strong sense of motion to a slow-paced song, but mostly, REEEEEEEEID.

Okay. I think that's everything I'd been wanting to post. Now off to hit Post twice.

1) Just had my first Muskrat Jamboree anxiety dream, in which I missed all the Friday panels and SLEPT THROUGH THE VID SHOW/DANCE PARTY. There was a serious moment of waking up and realizing, no, it's okay! MJ didn't happen yet! I didn't miss anything! Guys, DON'T LET ME SLEEP THROUGH THE PARTY.

2) ( Supernatural last night. )

Many thanks to iuliamentis for beta! I'd been meaning to write this since, um, about twenty minutes after "Heaven and Hell" ended. It just ... took a while.

Title from Vito's Ordination Song by Sufjan Stevens.



Dean/Castiel. NC-17. 7,616 words.
"I need you to be all right," Castiel said, because angels did not lie, even if they disguised themselves, even if they left out the vast majority of the truth.


( There's a Design )

I have made an important authorial decision (after review of relevant canon) about the yet-ANOTHER-Castiel-story I'm writing: ( very, very important decision. yes. )
