 ( In which I rabbit a bit about the year that was. )

To everyone who reads this blog, who supports me when I'm down, and cheers when things go right, I want to say a heartfelt thank you. I hope 2010 brings you peace and contentment and wild, brain-exploding joy. May your losses be few and your victories many.

And if I achieve nothing else next year, I swear I'll do a better job of keeping up here and with mail!

2010? Bring it on, I say!

Title: So That’s How The Cat Died
Author: cordeliadelayne
Character: Bobby Singer
Rating: G
Warnings: References to Wincest and fandom mockery
Word Count: 1,017
Summary: Bobby and boredom really don’t mix.
Notes: Written as a Christmas present for the adorable lessrest who wanted Bobby’s reaction to finding the fan site mentioned in ep 418.

Here.

This isn't one of those nice long vacation weeks.  It isn't even a long weekend (yet).  But it is very quiet around here, and the Muse is content and full of chocolate and she decided we should turn what was originally a small, simple one-shot into a multi-chap.  Since you guys claim to like those.  :)

The premise would be:
After a long, disheartening couple of days on the road, Dean went to bed in a motel.
That's not where he woke up.

"Hello?" he called.  "Anybody?"

His voice echoed a little, but only a little.  The sound of it was enough to make him shudder, and that was just plain wrong.  Him, badass Dean Winchester, scared like a little girl of being alone in a…

Okay, say it.

Ain't saying it.  Because it's not a haunted house.  Come ON.

"SAM!" he bellowed.

And no one answered him.

Five parts, one posted each day, today through Sunday.

CHARACTERS:  Dean, and others to be added as we go along (to say which ones would ruin the surprise)
GENRE:  Gen
RATING:  PG, for language
SPOILERS:  Nothing specific, although set now-ish
LENGTH:  Remains to be seen; this part is 3988 words

( Two By Two (Part 1 of 5) )

Title: Care
Character: Sam, Dean.
Rating: PG
Disclaimer: I don't own anything Supernatural related.
Summary: There's two hot guys in the motel, and maybe they have swine flu...
A/N: Written as a Christmas present for ariadnes_string. She wanted something related to my fic Pig in a Poke (which you don't have to read to understand this one). It's probably not exactly what you expected, hope you will still like it... Merry Christmas! Beta'd by the wonderful wave_obscura (I know, what a surprise).

( Read the story )

Wow, it feels like I've barely been online in forever! I barely went near the computer over this last week or so, it's been so manic. So I am very behind on my flist - hope everyone had a lovely Christmas full of fun and festivity.

Now for some piccies! First of all, here are a couple of shots of the gorsedd stones in Bute Park, behind the castle, looking very frosty in the ice we had last week.

Can I Lie With You in Your Grave: A Dean/Castiel Fanmix by frayed1989

Vids

"The Fallen in the War" by secretlytodream

... good old-fashioned show love.  At a time when it seems like fandom has grown large and divisive, there's a plethora of pairings for anyone's tastes (real life and fictional, canon and non-canon), and the little underdog show about brothers on a road trip in their Chevy has exploded into something about the end of the world, it's nice to see vids about Sam and Dean and the simple story of them being brothers.  I love the creativity and the fact there is so much out there for everyone to enjoy, but sometimes I just like some old-school SPN stripped of all the in-your-face religious undertones and the legions of Heaven and Hell zipping around, when the reason behind Sam's bitchfaces were nothing more than Dean's taste in music and Dean's biggest concern was which sex face he was going to flash at the truck stop waitress.  So it's nice to see a couple of vids where the focus is just Sam and Dean.

The first vid is new, the second one isn't (I don't know why I didn't rec it when it was first posted).  The editing is well done in both, esp. well synchronized with the music in the second vid.  The clip selection and placement of similar shots/parallel scenes in the first vid is excellent and makes you realize how much can be said using only visuals. 



Both vids by secretlytodream.  Leave feedback for the first vid here and for the second one here.

Title: Anywhere I Lay My Head: Oneshot
Author: apoliticalphase 
Characters: Sam [Aged 9], Dean [Aged 13]
Rating: G
Word Count: 1,146
Summary: It’s getting closer to Christmas and there’s still no snow~ Sammy isn’t very happy :')
AN: This is the first SPN fic I've ever written, although I've read plenty of them myself, and have written the odd fic for other fandoms in the past. So...we'll see, I guess >:3

i don't wanna grow up...

Feel like Season 1?  How's that sound?  JDub is hoping it sounds good, or he's likely to kick your ass.  Just on general principles.  :)

The news hadn't gone far beyond St. Louis, hadn't interested much of anybody outside a couple-hundred-mile radius, because there were worse things going on.  Things going on closer to home.  But Bobby, Caleb, Joshua – they spent a good part of their lives combing newspapers, websites, radio reports, anything that would tell them something peculiar was happening.  Distance didn't matter.  They'd all seen the picture, the artist's sketch that was Dean to a T, couldn't be anybody but Dean, the way they saw everything else that fell outside the borderline of Normal.

CHARACTERS:  John (with much talk about Dean)
