LOL, I see that I am echoing tahirire again, but I just had to rec this little comment fic off the h/c meme.

By embroiderama: John gets a call from the school because one of his boys is sick/has passed out. Seriously, such a lovely story. It made me ache, but then it fixed it. I love daddy!John and angsty!wee!Dean.

There are still prompts at the h/c meme that are demanding my attention, and I need to be writing Big Bang, or at least Mouths, but no, what did I spend yesterday afternoon, evening, and most of this morning working on? Yeah, this.

Still hate Windows Movie Maker, btw. I had to save it to the computer every time I wanted to check that things were lining up correctly, because it would NOT sync in the program. It might not be a problem if I upgraded my RAM or whatever, but I was impatient. (And poor.)

This is not quite final. If you have suggestions, better scenes, problem points, anything like that, please do share. I'm probably going to add some text for the title and stuff, too. And I need to figure out how to convert it to .avi, but for now, here's YouTube. Oh, and apparently it's blocked in some countries. :( I'll upload it to imeem in a bit. (ETA: Done. Also embedded below.) ETA2: Final version now uploaded. :)

Rating: PG
Spoilers: Through Season 4 in general
Summary: Even a goldfish feels heavier when you're carrying it to the toilet to flush it down than it did when you carried it in a plastic baggie home from the carnival, your little brother chattering away at your elbow about how you'll get a bowl and shiny blue rocks and a little can of food.

Disclaimer: Pretty sure they’re not mine.
Author’s Note: Just a little meditation on heaviness. I'm not sure if it even makes any sense, or if it's just me being emo about the recent loss of a bunch of my pets, again, some more.

Author’s Note: Semi-sequel to Entertaining Angels, original flavor, but stands alone. This last episode has made me re-evaluate a few things, but I think the story will be better for it. Still, I apologize for any shifts in characterization you may notice. It's hard to be consistent when your understanding of the characters and their situation is continually evolving.

( Part 5 )

I think Dean and Sam should swear in Latin. You guys need to get on this immediately. Possibly a good resource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_profanity.

Yeah, this is peripherally connected to the last chapter of Mouths. And also a very long and involved discussion we're having right now at my Monday RPG night. It started off with talking about how everything is phallic, and then limegreenjillo and I wondered what the female equivalent is for that word. (Turns out that "vagina" is already a Latin word, bee tee dub, if that was where you wanted to go with that.) And um, yeah. I may post more about this later, because it's hilarious.

Okay, this might sound bitchy or whiny or whatever, but I would really appreciate it if people on my flist would hide their reactions to new episodes behind lj cuts. Due to my schedule, I usually can't see the episode till Friday, and I hate being accidentally spoiled, even for very small things. I like watching the story unfold with no idea at all of what's going to happen. It just makes it more enjoyable for me. This is not a rant against any one person or anything--there was just a LOT LOT LOT of stuff outside cuts this week that had me running away from my friends page covering my eyes and singing loudly to forget what I'd just seen. Which is sad, because I really enjoy refreshing my friends page every so often to see what's going on with people, and I would hate to have to put that off until I have time to watch the new episode. If this keeps up I'm going to have to avoid LJ completely from 10 o'clock to whenever on Friday or even Saturday, and I don't want to do that. :( Yes, I'm selfish.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Do you like Dean whumping? Do you like Sam whumping, though to a lesser extent? Do you like hilarious banter and brothers taking care of each other but not being girly? Do you like MotWs that you've never seen before? Do you like Dean being bitchy and/or menacing? Do you like Sam being smart and likable in a story set in S4? Do you like unhealthy amounts of C4?

Well, then, you'll like this: The Quiet Man. I like it very much.

Also, you should TOTALLY be reading autumn_lilacs's "Our Father" 'verse. She just finished a really long, awesome futurefic full of family angst and scary, original monsters and amazing, strong, beautiful OFCs who I want to be BFFs with, every single one of them. (FOUR in this story, and each of them a treasure!) So yeah, run, don't walk.

Hmm, I need to do another author rec post soon.

♥ to you all, and Happy Friday!

OMG, Dean versus Ten!

IT'S GOING TO BE SO CLOSE.
