MASSIVE FIC RECS

My all-time favorite fics all in one place. Hasn't been updated in a while, but I kinda like it the way it is. Maybe I'll make another one this summer... Anyway, the link can now be found at the bottom of the page under "Links" because it's too damn difficult going from blog to blog and finding the page in with all the others. A Subtextual Love Story is not what I thought it would be...Maybe I should work on that too.

Anyway, the fic:

MASSIVE FIC RECS

~Dean/Castiel Secret Santa Exchange~

~*Fic Recs*~

such a convention whore...

My first convention was 2yrs ago. I've gone to two others since. And I never got around to buying the JPEGs for my photo-ops. But my PC died and I got a Mac...with wireless internet connection to this scanner we've had for years. I just saved myself $120 and my pics came out great =)

Dec. 2011 fic recs: deancastiel

I managed to get all my old fics re-tagged days before deancas_xmas! ...then missed the first few days of posting cuz I forgot. Figures. Still, this is my favorite time of year!

...missed my Dean/Cas anniversary, too. Dec. 24th isn't just Christmas Eve ya know...but I was working and...it's like my Supernatural life and real life are trying to merge. It's kinda bumpy, but I'm sure it'll even out this year. I just hope they bring Cas back and not just to kill him off for real...

=/

Anyway, December 24, 2011 = 3yrs of Dean/Cas♥

Nov. 2011 fic recs: deancastiel

I worked a lot in this month...kinda cool how that means MORE recs, lmao ;-P

I love my iPhone.

These are probably some of my favorites. I'd gotten over Cas being gone, for the most part, because as far as I'm concerned he's not dead. I've never said "dead" just gone; locked inside himself while this big bad Leviathan boss uses his meat. Cas is in there and I'm convinced Dean will get him out. 'Til then, there's fic. And I'm good with that.

Plus, Misha's scavenger hunt was a welcome distraction.

Aug. & Sept. 2011 fic recs: deancastiel

August = BostonCon, two weeks of mostly-non-stop driving to VanCon, then another week driving home.

September = idek; recovery, lol. Oh, right, drinking. The Faire is my favorite place to be drunk. The shows I've seen for years are so much more entertaining when intoxicated.

I had a problem, I know, but I loved every second of it. =P

July 2011 fic recs: deancastiel

Blogging with a Mac is a lot different than my old PC. Took a while, but I think I've got the hang of it.

I got an iPhone for my trip to Vancouver and I just thought it'd be easier, and less creepy, to listen to music in the booth because headphones up there aren't a great idea. I didn't even think about the possibilities of internet connection.

Thus, work=hiding upstairs reading fic, starting the occasional movie. I love my job.

June 2011 fic recs: deancastiel

It's been a tough year. Dean and Cas broke up; I died a little inside. So I took a cross-country trip to VanCon. Then my computer broke down when I got home. I think it was all the pics...

Now Cas is gone and, medically, I can no longer drink the pain away so I'm reading fic again. Fic is better than canon now anyway...which is probably the saddest thing EVER! My Mac has been nothing but good to me, I replaced all my bookmarks and re-tagged everything, so I think it's time to get back to rec'ing. It's been a while. Here's June:

7.01 - Meet the New Boss

I've given up on 'spamming past eps, but this new season is looking amazing and there's no way I can just sit by and not comment! Seriously, already fell in love with it...surprisingly when the Leviathan took over; Misha is incredibly talented!

This is gonna be so much fun!

575 Memorial Dr.

Two of the hottest guys on the planet were only 30mins north of me this past weekend and I even had people to go with. Sure, it was only my parents, but I didn't have to pay for much or drive into Boston so it was a good day, lol.

aaaaand...i'm back =)

FINALLY Comic Con brings a sense of relief an definite peace of mind for s.7.

I have to admit, I've been incredibly depressed and drowning my sorrows in alcohol at the loss of Castiel's character and his relationship with Dean; all the while hoping beyond hope that everything would turn out right and Dean would do whatever it takes to save his boyfriend.

In this video from Comic Con, Misha scared the hell outta me, then gave some reassurance before Jensen made everything better:

"We're basically gonna have to deal with finding Cas inside this new character and getting him back out."

5.18 fic recs...

Michela, this one's for you! =)

Every single coda I've read for 5.18 organized by bookmark folders "amazing" which I always post, "great" where only the really-really-almost-amazing fic gets posted and "good" that I never post.

...I should do this for 5.03 and 5.04

a look back...

I have waaaayy too much time on my hands up in booth and I'm obviously still not over the finale...this is what happens when all I want is to ease the pain and given the time to reflect.

Dean
  s.1 - hooked from the beginning, but didn't think too much on it in fear of losing him.
♥s.2 - let myself fall for him and he trades his life for Sammy's
  s.3 - they take him away from me. Dean goes to Hell.

I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition...

Cas
   s.4(1) - hooked from the beginning, but didn't think too much on it in fear of losing him.
 ♥s.5(2) - let myself fall for him and he abandons Dean in favor of Heaven.
   s.6(3) - they take him away from me. Cas' grace is trapped in Purgatory. (theory)

...are you sensing the pattern here?

Following my theory, I think Death should send Dean to Purgatory to save Cas...might make for a nice fic, but my writing ability was lost long ago

This is the bref version of my epiphany, more detailed under the cut:

misha's new pic...

Okay, I know I've claimed to be okay with this before, but it really hadn't been true until Misha completely glowed while talking about West at...JIB maybe? Anyway, he's so adorable when talking about his son and the pics he shares on twitter...he looks just like him♥

@mishacollins

This is cute too!

May fic recs

Really big post with truly amazing fic...too bad it'll probly be the last. I know I've blocked out the last 2mins, but I'm sure fic won't completely allow that and I'm tired of crying. Maybe in a few months when we know more, but for now...I just don't think I can.
 
...unless I circle back to old fic I've bookmarked from last season!

(I will continue to bookmark fic, I just won't be reading it)

shattered

I'm not re-watching the episodes and pics will be even more upsetting, so I'm just gonna touch on the bullet points because this is driving me crazy and I'm finally sober enough to let it all out.

6.21=PERFECT! =)
I never once lost faith in Cas...I knew he had nothing to do with Crowley's plan and knew that Dean wouldn't believe him. My ability to guess my way through episodes isn't completely gone; I could just picture Sam wanting to call Cas and Dean refusing and the show did not disappoint. It was great. Sam calling him anyway...I just knew Cas was there because he would never stop helping them. When Dean was attacked, I  knew Cas would be there...and that heart-to-heart afterward; they are soo in love and I was soo hoping that maybe, just maybe they'd get back together...it even looked good towards the end when Cas saved Lisa's life (although I will admit a slight shock of 'don't take her soul, Cas PLEASE!' before he revealed his true intention)...and the mind swipe. Beautiful. Perfect even...and Dean comparing his brief appearance in their lives as a car crash - dead on.

*I didn't get to fully enjoy the end because I spilled milk all over my bed just as we came back from commercial and spent the next 10mins freaking out, tearing my bed apart and catching what I could of the end of Lisa and Ben!

~*~

6.22=almost perfect... (as in, just when I thought I wasn't going to need that big bottle of vodka and five days I took off work, everything falls apart and I'm drunk for a day and a half)

Gotta admit, it was nice to see two new episodes in a row...but I really coulda used that week in between to hold onto Dean/Cas just a little longer...

Everything was perfect up to the last 2minutes. I still believed in Cas. Dean's T-rex comment was gold. The Impala could be fixed. Sam was whole again, and walking around...then Cas went nuke and everything changed.

cw press release!

CASTIEL IN SEASON FREAKEN SEVEN!!

Returning for its seventh season, this haunting series follows Sam and Dean Winchester, two brothers bound by tragedy and blood to the one thing that runs through both their veins - hunting monsters. This past season, Dean and Sam faced insurmountable obstacles: Sam returned from Hell without his soul, and Dean risked everything to get it back for him. The power struggle between good and evil raged on, with the new King of Hell, Crowley, ultimately emerging as their adversary. Shockingly, Crowley had made a secret deal with Sam and Dean's closest friend, the angel Castiel, who is now a desperate freedom fighter on the losing side of a post-Apocalyptic civil war in Heaven; together, the uneasy allies sought to open a door to Purgatory, where a great untapped well of souls lie waiting to be used as the ultimate form of military power. Sam and Dean reeled from the betrayal by their friend - and raced to stop the angel and demon before they opened that dangerous, otherworldly door. Now, in season seven, the Winchesters will find themselves in an increasingly sinister, changing landscape, up against a new foe unlike anything they've ever fought. They'll find their old tricks, weapons and hiding places all rendered useless. All they'll have is each other. And the certainty that, like the last of the cowboy outlaws, whatever they face, they're not going down without a fight.

The series stars Jared Padalecki as Sam Winchester, Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester and
