[apocalypsos]

I feel like I have to tell myself out loud after rewatching last night's GA that the name of my SPN/GA crossover being How To Fix Things and the Meredith VO cutting from her to Izzie in bed with Denny with "We set about the business of fixing whatever we can" is not a shoutout, no matter how much I'd like it to be.

In any event, more fic recs ...

Homecoming, by coffee_in_bed (Supernatural, John) -- The life that comes after defeating the demon. Oh, God, do I love this, because "homecoming" is really the title and the summary all in one.

Untitled crackfic, by the_jackalope (Grey's Anatomy/Harry Potter, I don't want to ruin it, just go read) -- I can't even begin to describe why I adore this without spoiling the hook, although the first sentence will do it for you.

Texas State of Mind, by brynwulf (Supernatural RPS, Jared/Jensen) -- Jared's homesick. Heh. That would sound like such an adorably hugworthy concept if not for the smut. ;)

samson went back to bed, by endora_taylor (Supernatural, Dean, John, and Sam) -- The one thing that's good about the season finale is that now we get the really awesome post-finale "okay, so how do we fix THIS mess?" fic, like this ...

Post-finale fic, by monkeycrackmary (Supernatural, Dean, Sam, and John) -- ... and this. I just ... oh, Dean. *cuddles* (Notice that I say this as someone whose main display of how much I love the pants off Dean as a character is to hurt him as much as physically, mentally and emotionally possible. Heh. ;))

All Comes Down, by daysoflo (WB RPS, Jared/Chad) -- I DO NOT GET IT. Why I love Mayhem in fic, that is. Jesus, I hate him everywhere else, but in fic, I want him and Jared to be doing it all over the goddamn place because much like in this story, it's hot beyond the telling of it. Why is that? Can we, like, trade out fic!Chad for real-life!Chad? It has absolutely nothing to do with me and yet I'd be a much happier, more contented person if that were to happen.

The Good Son, by witchofthedogs (Supernatural, Dean) -- How do you make a deal that only ends in pain? I've said, "Oh, Dean," right? Seriously, that boy's going to be the death of me.

Communication Breakdown, by jwynn (Supernatural, Sam and Dean) -- What can one say with a fist full of gun besides click, bang, boom? This is fabulous and addresses Sam's powers in a way that I really hope the show gets into next season. (It's not that I want him to be some chosen one or something -- God forbid -- but Jesus, if Max can train himself to use telekinesis for spite, you'd think Sam would do it on purpose if it meant a.) keeping it from getting out of control and b.) helping people. But hey, it's not like I'm writing for the show, so maybe there's a better reason than, "Moving a desk with his mind was so cool that one time!".)

needs must when the devil drives, by ladyjaida (Supernatural, Dean, John, and Sam) -- Or, five ways the Winchesters do (or don't) wake up. Obviously, more great post-finale fic. Now if we can just get some more in-depth stuff that gets them a little farther than out of the car ... ;) (Although it's already starting to come out, so YAY.)

Stigmata, by laytoncolt (Supernatural, Dean and Sam) -- You know, I get why Dean having powers in canon would just be wrong, but in fic, I adore the hell out of it. And this is a wonderful take on a power for him to have that's just right -- not perfect, because it's Dean and he'd abuse the hell out of it, but he'd do it in all the best ways just like this.

Fic recs left: 478 fic recs

This doesn't relate to anything other than being a huge nerd, but last night at work I used the word "jossed" in a real conversation and didn't even realized it until somebody asked me what the hell I just said. Uh, oops?

EDIT: Does anybody know of a really good book about what life was like during the Black Plague that won't bore the hell out of me? That period of history's not really my thing -- I'm more into the last few hundred years and American history --but I'm thinking of picking up a book on it just for the hell of it. And absolutely NOT for research. *shifty eyes*

Is that the one I described below? With the Mary Sue and the Priest and etc?

It might be, though I remember a lot more about her being vaccinated, stranded, in the wrong time and rather pissed off about it, and the interesting members of the village dying and her feeling very helpless and being counted as very brave though she was just doing what she could because she knew she was immune.
