Fic title: Dead Yet Again
Author name: arysteia
Genre: wincest
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 21, 000
Warnings/Spoilers: Explicit sex. Some violence, but not more than you'd expect from an episode. No spoilers.
Summary: Sam and Dean Winchester are at odds while dealing with a seemingly routine haunted mansion. As usual, nothing is what it seems, and nothing goes according to plan. Before long Sam is experiencing strange dreams of another life. A life where he and Dean had a very different relationship. A life that shattered when Sam Menzies-Hall brutally murdered his lover. Or maybe the truth is not so simple. Is there really such a thing as past lives? Is the notion any crazier than anything else they've had to deal with? Is Sam finally just cracking up? Or is there some other force at work? Who really killed Dean Paterson? And what impact will the revelations have on Sam's relationship with Dean today?

Where have all the Good Guys gone?
May. 4th, 2008 09:39 amHad a glorious dinner out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
china_shop and Mr China last night, so glorious in fact that I had to *cliche alert* undo my belt on the way home. Thanks Mr C!
Anyway, one topic of conversation (successfully embracing fandom but sparing Mr C the slash) was the apparent absence of Good Guys (capital G) from our screens. For our purposes, C defined Good Guy (capital G) as Clark Kent. Which gave me a momentary paroxysm as I blurted "Clark Kent = NOT!Good Guy" and she thought I was losing my religion, and then I clicked and realised she meant Old Skool not Smallville and we were back on the same page. Naturally Fraser from Due South was also a shoe-in. For reasons that don't need exploring at this juncture.
Stargate: Atlantis
Rejected without discussion on the basis of Monday's fangirl dinner (withmissiedith and aworldinside) where much was made of Mengele!science and the failure of individual responsibility. And even John's "I'll do anything for my team" --> too bad for not!my team.
Doctor Who
I made a half-hearted pitch for the Doctor but was hamstrung by the imperative not to spoil Mr C for new!Who, and C's lack of old skool. Wot? The Last of the Time Lords is actually the last of...? Heh. [Otoh, on Monday we had the hilarious moment where I mentioned the Time Lords exiling the Doctor to Earth, and the others were all, Huh, I thought there weren't any left... To which, heeeeeeeeeeee! Ah, the glory of forty years of canon, which confuses all, except People Like Me.] C rightly pointed out Bad Things the Doctor Has Done, which I thought were largely vitiated by The Worst Thing the Doctor Ever Did which is also paradoxically the Best Thing in the sense of being a giant Supreme Sacrifice. Boy, lots of caps here. I'm trying to be vague and non-spoilery. Ish. I may make a separate post on this since it's dear to my heart. Cut.
BSG
Moral compromise = watchword --> mentioned and dismissed in less than a sentence.
Life on Mars
Sam's pretty saintly by comparison, but the Clark Kent scale doesn't let you grade on a curve. I peskily remembered the binned psych report to keep the guy in jail and Prevent a Subsequent Crime. Good Guys (capital G) frown at this. Still, at least Sam did too.
Supernatural
Sam I set on an ice floe right away because Selfish Motives Only, but I made the best case I could for Dean after sauvignon and bloody steak and apple crumble and far too much hot chocolate. It wasn't actually very good. C accepted my Saving People! motivation for Hunting Things! but parried my Supreme Sacrifice with a Supreme Selfishness card from the bottom of the deck.
Astounded by our failure, we then cast around for More Shows, and failed there too. Has the Writers' Strike crippled us? Have we just failed as fans, and not watched enough tv recently?
Mr C, of course, asked if we're just more sophisticated now, and need more sophisticated heroes. Which yeah, I take his point. Up to a point. I still like my Flawed Heroes to be Called on their Bullshit though, which I don't find you can count on these days.
Who's got a Good Guy for me? Who's watching something I should be watching? Anyone?

Dec. 28th, 2007 06:50 pmNot one but two (non plot related) shout-outs to New Zealand in the Doctor Who Christmas special. First the "New Zealand Shipping Co Ltd" was listed first on the Honours Board where the Tardis materialised, and then, before I'd finished chuckling from that, the Doctor called NZ "beautiful". This pleases me. I also choose to assume he has actually visited Pacific's Triple Star, as opposed to watching Lord of the Rings one night round Jackie's. Someone write me that fic?
In other news... and in a possible breach of etiquette... but naming no names... I stumbled across this comment in praise of an mpreg take on A Very Supernatural Christmas, which requested a follow-up for All Hell Breaks Loose:
Leaving aside the lack of spaces in the ellipses, and the fact Sam is being loosed like a rodeo horse... Evidently I misinterpreted this scene, because I thought Dean was sufficiently distraught as it was. And clearly, the boys' happiness is worth any number of lesser immortal souls. I have no romance in my grinchy heart, I see. It cracks me up though, because I am a wincester, I admit it, but I don't think my wincesty Dean loves Sam even a molecule more than he already does canonically. It's not possible. And I even like mpreg, I do, *ducks missiles*, but... Yeah, I got nothing. How is it possible to miss the point this much?
I love the internet and its crimes against sense!

I just have this image in my head of that scene in the mud...I mean Dean was already frantic because he was loosing Sam...but to be pregnant and losing Sam...he'll be SO distraught....especially if he's close to delivering...I can only imagine how scared he'll be of now having to deliver alone....but I honestly don't think that Dean would sell his soul to bring Sam back...I think John (if he's not already dead) or hell, even Bobby or Ellen, would do it to make sure the boys were happy.

Well, it's that time of year again. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
remix_redux has been open for a week, and it's time to confess to who wrote what. I've already mentioned what a challenge I found this year's remix, but in the end I settled upon, and became very fond of, an AU story exploring what might have happened in Dean's and Sam's little world had one key detail of their past changed. I took that same AU world but told the story from a different POV. It turned out, I think, really quite differently. I'm not sure whether it was so much a case of unreliable narrators, or just the absolute inability of the two (possibly three if we count the person who didn't get to speak, maybe I should do them next, *g*) protagonists to understand each other's feelings or motives. But that's what I love about the Remix.
Many, many thanks, as usual, tomusesfool for her mammoth undertaking in running the whole challenge.
Title: There but for the Grace (Falls the Shadow: the Through a Glass Darkly Mix)
Summary: "I left you here so you'd be safe, so you could have a normal life."
Rating: PG
Warnings: none necessary
Spoilers: basic for the pilot
Original story: Falls the Shadow by Medie
( There but for the Grace... )
The person who remixed my fic did a great job, but they haven't come forward yet and I have to leave for work. I'll rec their story when I get home.

FIC!!! Yep. Not dead. And writing again.
Mar. 26th, 2007 10:56 pmBecause I am just that much of a fandom whore, I celebrate my return to active ljdom with fic in a new fandom. Why hello, Supernatural, how you doin'?
My recruitment into this fandom went something like this:
sinden: Spn is teh awesome.
arysteia: Whatever. Busy. Fandomly monogamous.
sinden: Boys are hot.
arysteia: Boys are nothing special. It's that guy from Smallville when Smallville started killing me. And a really tall guy with bad hair.
sinden: Look again.
arysteia: Huh. Was he that beautiful on SV? Did Lana just make my eyes hurt so much I didn't see?
erilyn: Yes. And yes.
arysteia: I'll watch it when it comes to NZ, but I won't download it.
arysteia: Give me the damn downloads.
arysteia: I'll watch it but I won't read it.
arysteia: *is bored and has read all the SGA and is still pissy with SV*
arysteia: I'll read but I won't write.
arysteia: *watches new eps in office to decompress*
my boys (yes, those boys): Miss! What are you watching? Who is that man? Can we watch? You can give us essay pointers later.
arysteia: Give me the damn essays. They'd better be good. Sit down.
my boys (yes, those boys): Do you have the new episode of Devil Boy and Hottest Man in the Universe?
arysteia: Huh?
my boys (yes, those boys): Can't remember what it's called, don't care.
arysteia: And thus a new codename is born.
arysteia: I still won't write.
arysteia: Ooh! A challenge! Shiny!
So here goes nothing. It's gen, so if wincest's not for you, you're safe. Brotherly love only. Written for the challenge atspn_outsidepov. My prompt was Sam's laptop.
