Affliction, by Tolakasa.
Gen, Teen, 45k words.

Author Summary: AU of season 5, veering off from canon after the end of 5.04, after Sam and Dean are hunting together again. In a diner one day, Sam notices that something's missing. Something kind of important.

Why I'm reccing it: It is excruciatingly well-written and the characters are all true to the show and in tune even under the circumstances. The story unfolds in a delightfully agonizing way, and it ends where it needs to end rather than anywhere else (don't want to spoil anything!). The central plot reveal caught me 100% flat-footed, but I saw the clues in retrospect, major props for that. It's one of the few things to make me smile, gasp aloud, giggle and drop my jaw in amazement during a horrible week.

If you enjoy reading Supernatural Gen fic, this Season-5-diverging AU has a lot going for it and is well worth a look. An absorbing read.

Title: Capture the Flag
Fandom: Supernatural
Alternate Posting: AO3
Rating/Content: Gen, PG-13, Post season 6 AU-ish, Silliness, Political strategy, Rampant blasphemy and inaccurate theology in several directions, OC Cherub.
Word Count: 1500
Disclaimer: I do not own and did not originate this world and its inherent characters.
Notes: I wrote this ages ago in one big gush right after the Season 6 finale. I don't know why I never posted it. Maybe I was thinking of going somewhere with it, but I have no idea now. Obviously, things went very differently in show, but since I found it pretty much complete as is (even though it's mostly Castiel and Crowley talking), I'm going to post it now anyway as a post season 6 AU *handwave* thingy, where monster souls and Leviathan didn't drive Castiel quite as nuts, etc. and there were different problems to deal with.

Summary: Getting to the top often means you make a better target.

Two down, nineteen to go! Try to avoid including anything from episodes past 9.04 in comments if you comment!

I still haven't watched most of it and I'm not going to be able to watch it before the Retrospective or Season 10 premiere, so I'll be catching up as I can, no surprise.

( What I'm doing for reactions for Season 9 and why, in case anyone cares. )

-I have accomplished about half the cleaning I intended to, but didn't get much else done either. Blah.

-mini_wrimo sign ups have begun for November, and I've signed up for 100 words a day. I was hoping to go for more this year, but RL shows every sign of being horrendously soul-sucking for the next several months and onward, so 100 it is.

-Lots of season premieres next week. Murdoch Mysteries on Monday, Supernatural retrospective Monday and season 10 premiere Tuesday (will save those for later, I won't get through all of season 9 by then. I will be catching up as I can and not starting on season 10 or watching the retrospective until I'm caught up, arg. However, I won't be doing any full-on crazy reaction posts for season 9. There may be a separate post about this later, just in case anyone cares. :-P). Flash premiere also Tuesday. Doubtless more things but those are the ones that made my calender.

-Of the new shows I've started watching/have seen:
--Scorpion is so far a fun popcorn mini-spy movie with geniuses that I like but I am not yet avid for.
--How to Get Away With Murder turned out to be not my thing, really, since we now know who did what to who and who put them up to it, and the rest is going to be psychological manipulation, backstabbing and sex, and really not much real mystery. Also I misread the commercials and thought the instructor would be a very different sort of character, far less of an adversary. In the end, it all goes more soapy than mystery, and while that's great for what it is, it's just not for me. I also rather loathe Grey's Anatomy, so I probably should have realized this would have a similar mien given it's the same creator. Anyway, I'm going to need that block clear for when Elementary starts up again.
--Forever. Forever. Holy crap I'm into this show. There may even be fic at this rate.
--Gotham, which hadn't been on my watch list but I caught part of an episode while doing dishes may yet get my attention, as the whole Gordon and the PD dynamic is giving me Life on Mars flashbacks, and that's a good thing. I don't know if I'll be seeking it out in future, but it's probably going to gt a second look if it's on when I'm looking for a distraction.

-Of the new seasons of shows I was watching previously:
--Agents of Shield continues to be made of solid golden yay.
--Criminal Minds team changes are being handled a little more deftly than previously. Still a disturbing gore-fest, but that's Wednesdays for you.
