Supernatural Fic: Flicker

Back in the day, I was talking to my poetry professor. (It was one of the conversations we had that was actually about poetry instead of gardening, which turned out to be our other shared passion.) I told him that I couldn't hear my prose. I thought it was okay, but I wasn't ever sureThat's because you're a poet, he said, and shrugged, and we ( Read more... )

OMG I KNOW. It singlehandedly dragged me back from sanity into fandom.

Also, thank you. Once I stopped cursing at it (a lot), this was so much fun to write. Because angels TOTALLY THINK IN IAMBS. (Do demons think in trochees? Oh man, this could get bad.)

Haha, I know. I was talking to a friend about it yesterday and we decided that we need to build some sort of Dean/Cas raft to pluck out survivors who were just minding their own business before they were swept away by the rogue wave that is Epic Romance Sans Social Skills. Our raft will be stocked with the internet and whiskey, in that order.

There were more complex design principals discussed as well, but at that point in the night I was two drinks and several shots in, so the details are a bit fuzzy. :P

This is achy and beautiful and the best thing to wake up to.

humans have such little heat, and spend it fast and willingly, caught up together in their flawed design. I think it was what caught Castiel and he was forever lost in humanity - Dean's beautiful imperfection.

Honestly, that's what first caught me about Castiel: how he was looking at humanity through these eyes that see everything and somehow have yet to understand.

Thanks.

Dude, the Supernatural Monologues. That would be badass. You could have little stories from all the one-shot characters, or, like, Bobby's hat. (Abused Headwear Tells All!)

(I am so not writing that.)
