coyotegoth: Top 5 people Sarah Connor would like to see in the sights of a high-powered sniper rifle who do not work for Cyberdyne.1. Dr. Silberman. After she ran off to Mexico with John, some of her best dreams were of the stuff that she did to that asshole.
2. The President. Any President, really. Every time she's seen one on TV since John's birth, all she sees is a lie in a suit.
3. Once after she and John escaped to Mexico, she went to pick up weapons from a contact of Enrique's and walked in to find Luis drinking a beer and watching some news conference with an American general discussing exciting (but mostly confidential) new advancements in protecting the country from terrorists. One minute of listening to the garbage he was spewing and Sarah really wanted to blow his fucking brains out.
She was so full of rage, she couldn't even remember the guy's name later. Something Brewster, she thought.
4. Declan was former IRA, and when he taught her more about bomb-making than she'd ever learned from anyone else, he did it with a wink and a joking Irish accent. Nice guy, aside from the occasional explosion. Fabulous fuck, didn't ask too many questions, thought John was just about the smartest little kid he'd ever met, at least in all of the important arenas like aiming a weapon and constructing an explosive device. Declan really respected the fact John liked to blow shit up.
Declan had a little brother, though. Michael, the one who Declan called the family's "great mistake." Declan didn't want Michael around, but there he was, and every time he saw Michael so much as glance John's way, a fight would break out. Over nothing, over everything ... Sarah only noticed the timing.
One day, she walked into Declan's workroom and found him cornering John, whispering things she couldn't hear and was sure she didn't want to.
He was lucky it was one of the few days at Declan's compound that she hadn't been wearing a gun or standing within fifteen feet of one. He made a run for it into the surrounding desert.
His luck held out twice. Sarah didn't find him that day, but she gave Declan fair warning as she packed up to leave with John that if he came back, she'd shoot his ass.
"Don't worry," he said. "I see him again, it's not bullets he'll be worryin' about."
5. Kyle Reese. Yeah, she can love him more than she's ever loved any other man and still be pissed as hell at him for dying on her. You want to argue it with her?
gossymer: 5 times Dean cheated on the Metallicar1. This one job that he did alone while Sam was at Stanford, he got paid for his troubles, which was nice. And not only that, but the grateful victim was one hell of a mechanic and offered to overhaul as much as he could under the hood at no charge. Dean couldn't argue a deal like that, but the work took two days and he still had research to do, so for two days he drove around rural Ohio in a borrowed Sweet Pickles van.
2. Once in Washington, DC, his car got towed while he was finishing off a hunt and he had to take a bus to go pick it up. Dean would rather not think about that one, in retrospect.
3. This one time, he was coming up the exit to merge onto the highway in Tennessee and watched a mint-condition cherry-red 1965 Pontiac GTO convertible drive past. He whistled, and the Impala stalled out of spite.
4. There was a job in L.A. where he had to pass for a minor-league actor to get into some post-awards show party to tail a witch who'd enchanted a hot A-list celebrity to fall heads over heels in lust with her. Oh, sure, looks-wise he could totally pass for an actor, and with artful enough shredding in just the right places even the junkiest clothes will pass muster. But the Impala just wasn't pretty enough for those snobs, so Dean and John hot-wired a Mercedes so that he could arrive in style. He felt guilty for a week, but he depowered the bitch, didn't he?
5. Ever since he was a little kid, Dean has had a crush on that car. It's pretty and shiny and it feels like home. He's always loved the hell out of that car.
Except for that one week, when he would have chosen his new Penny Racers over the Impala in a heartbeat.
What? That does so count.
And also: 5 days where Dean hated Sam's guts.
1. Dean didn't hate Sam when he left. Not really. He got where he was coming from and he was goddamn pissed at Sam for leaving, but he understood. Sam wanted normal, and ... okay, fine. Whatever. But two months after he left it was the anniversary of Mom's death, and Dean came home from a hunt to find John passed out drunk in his bedroom with a photo of the four of them happy and smiling for the camera. Dad kept murmuring something that was probably Sammy's name when he wasn't slurring, and as soon as Dean hefted him up off the floor he puked like he'd never stop. Dean hated Sam so much at the point he would have beat the shit out of him if he'd been standing right in front of him.
2. The day he was born. Everybody just kept paying attention to him and cooing over him and Dean was completely and totally jealous. He stomped off after a perfunctory, "Yeah, hi," at the baby and wouldn't even come back from the other side of the hospital room when Daddy pointed out Sammy was trying to turn his head in Dean's direction.
But then they rolled the bassinet over by his chair while the nurses checked Mommy out, and Sammy looked over at him and waved.
He did, too. Dean saw it and everything.
3. The day Sammy finally got taller than Dean. It was like he was waiting for that day, because he got this dopey look on his face and he'd just stand behind Dean and tilt his head this way and that like he was trying to see the top of Dean's head. And then he finally dared Dean to measure against him, and he was just thaaaaaat much taller. I mean, he was sixteen for crying out loud. He thought it was the best thing ever. He spent weeks calling Dean "shorty" or arguing about the big brother/little brother thing, and between him and Dean's constant grumbling Sam drove John up a goddamn wall and made Dean contemplate fratricide.
4. Five years old, and Sammy gets chickenpox. Which would be tolerable, if Dean hadn't caught it from him (either that, or given it to him, considering the timing) and gotten sick, too. Sammy kept giving him puppy-dog eyes and asking him to go make him Spaghetti-O's or get him fudgsicles or whatever, like he didn't want to believe that Dean was really sick, too. Every time John would leave the room, he'd beg Dean to do stuff for him. Dean always told Sam that he was lucky Dean didn't smother him with a pillow by the end of that week.
5. When Dean was teaching a fourteen-year-old Sam to drive with the Impala and Sam hit a telephone pole. I mean, not all that hard, since Sam drove like someone's grandmother even then, and there wasn't that much damage anyway. But still, the Impala.

Meanwhile, the Gay Club Mix station on Yahoo is currently making me all giddy. *twirls*

That's just so-- and it-- I love this like whoa.

*melts into goo* Awww, Deano. You stood no chance.
Sammy kept giving him puppy-dog eyes and asking him to go make him Spaghetti-O's or get him fudgsicles or whatever, like he didn't want to believe that Dean was really sick, too. Every time John would leave the room, he'd beg Dean to do stuff for him.
*melts into goo some more and draws hearts*
Awesome, utterly and totally awesome!
