Author’s Note: For a prompt from slinkymilinky at sharp_teeth. Many thanks for the first fic I've finished for months.

( They said Father was dead, and finally, after a long time, Castiel believed them. )

This story is awesome. Though it's Dean/Castiel, I could read it as slashy gen just fine. Fantastic team free will dynamic, and I loved the view of Castiel through Dean's eyes and vice versa. Interesting MotW, huddling for warmth, desperate measures to save the day... It's all good, baby. Set post-S5, but no S6 spoilers.

I Cleanse the Mirror by anonymous

Author’s Note: A thousand thanks to hrymfaxe for the gorgeous, gorgeous art, far more amazing than I expected or deserved. And to my betas, quiddative and sparky_joe. You guys are awesome. On another note, I am sort of sorry to add yet another post-S5 road trip fic to the growing pile, but this is the story my heart wanted to tell.

( Indiana was where he died, and Indiana was where he tried to live. )

My birthday was fantastic. On Sunday I played D&D with my friends and ate raspberry jello cake. On Monday you guys gave me like a thousand amazing fics and that continued for a bit, and that night Jill and I made new characters for a RPG called Hollow Earth and John gave me a sky lantern and we watched it fly away to the sky and that was awesome and beautiful. And on Tuesday I got a kitten. So yeah. Awesome twenty-seventh anniversary of being born. And I am SO gloating about my amazing friends, because LOOK WHAT YOU GUYS DID FOR ME. ::points below::

Besides fics, just_ruth and oatmeal_queen gave me V-gifts and wynefred and half_vulcan gave me graphics. (Also davincis_girl down below, which you definitely should NOT miss.) And dotfic wrote me a fic called Center of Balance for one my prompts on the Team Free Will schmoop meme, and ohhhhh it's amazing. ♥ ♥ ♥

You guys, you guys, I have the most awesome friends ever and I am gloating my butt off. I highly recommend every single thing on this list. READ THEM. You won't be sorry. I mean, just look at those names! It's like a Who's Who of fantastic writers! My flist is the best and I am totally taking credit for gathering you awesome people around me. You make my life so much better.

Still amnesty on all the remaining prompts. Forever amnesty. I will never be sorry to see one of those turn up somewhere.

SORRY TO TAKE UP LOTS OF ROOM ON YOUR FLIST WITH THIS AWESOMENESS. THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR BEING AWESOME FRIENDS. I'M NOT GOING TO CUT IT.

Supernatural:

Raised from the Depths by authoressnebula Human!Castiel (grace drained, fallen, whatever) experiences almost drowning. Not fun!

Boys Gone Wild by haruslex Team Free Will goes hiking to find some sort of artifact or something lost in the woods. Sam and Dean hate camping, as we all know, but Castiel seems to like the trees or the rocks or something. It's weird. Castiel is weird. Nice, though.

The Very Mature Adventures of Cas and Ruby (The 4-inch Edition) by alocine_89 Crack! Castiel gets shrunk. Dean carries him around in his pocket. And he will never, ever admit that he kinda likes having a literal shoulder angel. (Bonus: It happens in S4 and Ruby gets shrunk, too, so Sam has a shoulder demon. And they slap fight.)

I...have no idea what this is. I'm up past my bedtime, okay by haruslex Castiel has had enough of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking astral plane.

Boom Boom Fireworks by gleeker13 Bobby has a backyard cookout for his boys. ♥

As Companion to Four Fingers by roque_clasique Dean injures both of his thumbs and suddenly can't do a lot of things like open doors, do up buttons, hold a remote, and so on. At first he hates having to depend on Sam to do so much for him, but he eventually gets used to it.

To Forget the Din of the World by ratherastory Castiel meets Missouri sometime in S4. She's way too smart to get her eyes burned up, and she's not scared to smack him on the head and tell him he's being an idiot for not following his conscience.

Important Decisions by caffienekitty Jo and Ellen run into the boys on a hunt. Afterward, they unwind with movies and pizza in the motel.

The Stranger by the_spice One reason John was so willing to fall on his sword in 2.1 was because he'd met Castiel and he knew someone would be looking after his boys.

Hamster House by de_nugis Something with hamsters.

Sweet Tooth of the Lord by elsewhere_kels Jelly beans! Also Twizzlers.

Taste the Rainbow by lassiterfics 2010-06-28 07:41 pm (local) (link) Select
God mojoed Cas up just a leeetle too much when He rezzed him, and now Castiel makes flowers and candy appear everywhere he walks. It's more annoying than nice.

Leverage:

Untitled by authoressnebula Five times Eliot protected Hardison.

Not-Quite-Chicken Soup For The Soul by alocine_89 By now they should all be used to the weird things Parker says and does, but somehow they aren't. And she is NOT a good cook and Hardison will NOT lie to spare her feelings.

This Hallmark SG-1 moment is brought to you by Ancient Tech by zoemathemata SG-1: Daniel and Sam get hit with some sort of alien technology that makes them overly emotional. Cue extreme discomfort from Teal'c and Jack and the Wonder Twins crying on each other's shoulders.

Star Wars:

untitled by whistler_wren Young Master Obi-Wan takes brand-new Padawan Anakin on an excursion into the city for an afternoon. Lots of new things to see and experience for a boy from Tatooine, and Coruscant is big and bustling and amazing and pretty tiring after just a few hours. Obi-Wan starts to believe maybe he can have a relationship with this strange boy from the desert.

Criminal Minds:

Nobody needs to know by faithburke Garcia writes fanfiction. She'll never tell.

Crossovers:

SPN/Psych Sam & Shawn, post-case unshenanigans, PG by lassiterfics ...So psychics are real, huh?

SPN/Glee Ghosts by limegreenjillo Mercedes and Kurt prove that they are quite a bit fiercer than a ghost. Sam and Dean...don't have that much to do, actually.

SPN/Doctor Who: Allons-y by bellatemple Dean and Donna both have spazzy companions who are ancient, knowledgeable, spiky-haired, and wear long trench coats. (They also both have self-esteem issues despite their complete awesomeness, poor woobies.) THEY SHOULD MEET SOMEHOW.

DEAN AND DONNA ART by davincis_girl for the same prompt! :D

Ahahahaha, crack_impala recced Clarity and people are reading it. That's the second story I wrote in this fandom, ffs, so long ago, geez. I am cracking myself up with my author's note on that dinosaur:

And this fandom continues to seduce me into doing things I thought I wouldn't do. I used to think, "Oh, I'll watch the show, but I won't write fic." And then I got ideas and I thought, "I'll write fic, but they'll be short. About Dean." And then I wrote a short fic that was all about Sam. And then I thought, "Well, I've never made a vid, anyway." And then I made "I Have Lost My Fangs." And then I thought, "Oh, people write them as kids, that's cute, but I won't write it." And then I wrote this.

WHAT HAVE I BECOME.

So I've written three fics over 20k in this fandom, four if you count the Rain Falling Down 'verse as one story. Five if you count The Mouths of Children, my stupid WIP. AND THEY ARE ALL KID!FIC IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.

Okay, there was that SG-1 crossover way at the beginning that was 25k and not a kidfic. Still. If I don't have a reputation for loving Weechesters and kid!fic by now, I really, really should.

Oh, fandom. What you do to me.

I'm going to be busy today with my brother's graduation and graduation party. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME FIC WHEN I RETURN.

I played a really weird RPG tonight called Paranoia, and boy, does it live up to its name. I'm tired but kind of wired by UNRELENTING SUSPICION. But, a few fannish things.

First off, Syndicated Sci-Fi Show by claudiapriscus is an absolutely fantastic SG-1/SPN crossover. All of the characters are perfectly themselves and bounce off each other delightfully, the dialog is funny and fun to read, the plot is fast-paced and interesting, and it all works together very well. I love it to little teeny tiny pieces, and if you like both shows, or even just one, I think you will too.

Secondly, there should be a Zachariah fanvid to Hit 'Em Where It Hurts by the W's. I am so serious about this. It's fun and brutal and bouncy and petty and the lyrics, oh the lyrics!

( lyrics )

And thirdly, yeah, I keep wanting to write a 5.22 coda, though I've been feeling too bruised to even read any of the dozens out there. I keep trying and quitting after a few sentences. Anytime I try to come up with something to write, though, all that comes to mind is:( spoilers )

Well, that and a fic I want to write about the Novak family, especially Jimmy and Claire. But that can wait, maybe.

Oh, and big bang. Still polishing that. Have a few small scenes to write still. And the deadline is bearing down on me like a freight train.
