So I haven't really given Supernatural much attention really, but they are too pretty to ignore, so I sat down and watched Born Under a Bad Sign (s2:14). I love how the camera smooches up to them for endless close ups. They are still pretty. Yes. And now for some very mild spoilers:
I loved the other demon hunter making possessed!Sam drink holy water, and the nice cloud of steam he coughed out before dropping to the floor. It's kind of hard to know what the hell is going on, coming in at episode 14 in a the second series, but I enjoyed this one more than I enjoyed the pilot, and I got a strong feeling of the relationship between the brothers. Sam asking Dean to kill him was rather awesome, because it was clear Sam was on the edge of losing it and Dean would rather shoot himself first. I don't know if I just got the wrong impression from this one episode, but Sam to me seemed sort of shambling and monosyllabic when not being possessed. I quite liked that - it's endearing. I think I'll watch more.
This meme looks innnteresting and little bit frightening: tell me what stories you'd think I'd never write and I'll write a snippet of it. A little tiny snippet.

Battlestar Galactica (new series): Scary Blonde Cylon/Fighter-pilot Asian Cylon femmeslash.

Date: 2007-05-08 03:27 pm (UTC)She was a six, except she wasn't like any of the other sixes. This six had been changed. Her face showed emotions. Sharon hadn't been able to stop looking, ever since that first time Caprica-Six had come to her apartment.
"Caprica-Six," Sharon said, just to make her look round.
"Yes, Sharon?"
But Sharon couldn't find her voice to speak. They were sitting high up on the balcony of Caprica-Six's apartment, close together on the simple wooden bench. Caprica-Six sat and stared and sometimes wept silently. Cylons liked to be up high, having the long view over the peaceful and green land. It made them closer to God. Or more like God, Sharon thought.
No one ever called her Eight, only Sharon, because she was different too. Tainted, but none of the cylons were so insensitive as to put it like that.
"You slept with a human," Sharon said.
She hadn't meant to bring that up, because Caprica-Six looked sick enough already. The line of her shoulders was taut and the tendons in her throat moved, as if she was speaking silently.
"Baltar. Yes."
"What was it like for you?"
She hadn't planned to ask that either, but now she had she was glad. The hairs were rising on Caprica-Six's arms.
"Good," Caprica-Six said, with a soft laugh. She turned to Sharon and her blue eyes were glittering. "Like worship."
"Oh."
"Why do you ask?" Caprica-Six said.
The sun warmed their faces and a breeze sent leaves scuttling across concrete. Peaceful silence filled the city.
"You know I'm the closest thing to human on this planet," Sharon said.
"That's why they all hate you."
"Come to bed with me."
"Yes."

Date: 2007-05-09 12:33 pm (UTC)Tachibana nearly dropped his tray of green tea crepes. There was a man standing at his shoulder, hands clasped and in a semi-bow. He was smiling, but somehow he was managing to make it look like a threat. It was as sharp as pickling vinegar. Nice job, Tachibana thought.
"I don't know," Tachibana said, backing up a step but trying hard to make it look like he was just... moving. The smile continued. "Can I?"
"One of my... friends was in here. I believe."
"Friends?"
"Red hair, a little taller than me."
Tachibana had a brief painful memory of Ono's faint happy squeaks of delight at the appeareance Mr Stupid Name. That had been more than an hour ago now, although he wasn't obsessively counting. At all. This was coming out of Ono's pay.
He frowned and studied the man. He should've guessed. Just look at this man's hair, and those clothes. One of Ono's gang of perverts.
"Your 'friend' took my chef out for 'lunch'," Tachibana said, very pointedly.
The man's smile got wider, but not any warmer, and that was just creepy. Tachibana quite abruptly wished he was in the back office with a nice calming cigarette and a glass of whiskey.
"Oh. Did he."
"Yes. Now. If that's all... I need to get back to my customers."
There weren't any. The man put his hand on Tachibana's wrist, very gently. His fingertips were cold.
"That's quite all right. I'll wait. Gojyo would want that. Those crepes look delicious." He took something small and gold out of pocket. "Do you take Three Aspects cards?"

Before I attempt to write some more. ^__^ As I'm basing characterisation on yours and a couple of other's fics. There's a really nice one from the Secret Santa excercise one that I liked too.

Too hard, Kou thought, walking slowly down the stairs. There were faint moans coming from the downstairs back room: Gojyo's room. Hakkai's voice. Kou had no idea where they found the energy or inclination to fuck each other. There was a squeal and a thump. Kou hurried pastCoffee, he needed coffee right now. Maybe he'd make some for Doku too, then take it to him. In bed... No, right. Bad idea.
There was someone in the kitchen.
"Who the fuck are you?" Someone said.
He was a blond, angry looking man, and he sat hunched at the table like he'd been there forever. His jeans were ripped and the sole of his left shoe was coming off. Kou stared.
"Me? Oh, I'm just the fucking owner," he said, pulling himself up to his full height. "Who the holy flying fuck are you?"
The man shrugged and flicked his ash into Kou's favourite mug.
"Your new ho."

Date: 2007-05-08 09:50 pm (UTC)So... hey. If you'd like, give me a shout and I can send you the eps you missed. *g*
As for the story I think you'd never write - why, that is, of course, the Saiyuki epic in which it is discovered that Hakkai's demon form is actually not Hakkai at all, but rather a separate entity: a symbiotic (or maybe parasitic) demon from a different dimension that melded with Hakkai when the intra-dimensional barriers were weakened by the massive amount of demon life-force released in Hakkai's rampage. This same symbiotic demon also turns out to be Gojyo's father. So, in the course of the story, Hakkai both adopts and marries Gojyo, who is by this time pregnant with twins and uncertain of whether the demon or Hakkai is the father.
Errr. I think you probably don't want me to go on. :-)
no subject
Date: 2007-05-09 01:51 am (UTC)WOW. And I thought some of my ideas were bizarre.
And now that you gave a synopsis of it, I'm oddly eager to see it written... *grin*

Date: 2007-05-09 12:09 pm (UTC)And, hey. You want to read the story? louiselux has first dibs, of course, but I have a strange feeling that she isn't going to want to write the entire 300-page epic, so the idea's unclaimed. Run with it. Just - whatever happens, don't blame me!

Date: 2007-05-11 08:21 pm (UTC)Hakkai sat on the bed, his hands clasped on his knees and staring at the black soot mark it Sanzo had made.
"You mean, me being half parasitic demon?"
Sanzo shrugged.
"Fuck it, man," Gojyo said. "I can't believe this shit."
Hakkai raised his head slowly and met his eyes.
"Oh, you'd better believe it, Gojyo." He smiled a little, faint and cold, and his gaze trailed down Gojyo's body. "I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you."
if you really want more demon mpreg you'll have to bribe me with porn! :D

Date: 2007-05-13 11:38 am (UTC)"Well that explains a lot," Sanzo said, grinding his cigarette out on the floor.
Oh, absolutely. Doesn't it just! I bet Sanzo knew it all along, what with it being the only logical explanation and all. ;-)
"I'm afraid I have some very bad news for you."
ROFL! Yeah, if Gojyo can't believe the "my lover is half a parasitic demon" thing, the next bit is really going to be a surprise...
if you really want more demon mpreg you'll have to bribe me with porn! :D
I'm almost scared to ask for more! But I can't say I'm not considering the offer... ;-)

Date: 2007-05-09 02:56 am (UTC)Saiyuki: Some concoction of Nii's goes terribly wrong, and it switches Hakuryuu's power onto Goku! Now, Goku can shift forms into anything he thinks of, but then he catches a cold and can't quite control it anyway. Every time he sneezes, he changes into something else, and Hakkai can't heal the common cold. So now the guys are holed up in a hotel room trying to wait until Goku's cold gets better before heading out again, if they can survive that long.
Yep... my idea is actually very tame compared to other people's imaginations... *sigh*
