Drinking Deep (for gedry), R http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/2415748.html

D/C SA Week 1: 9/20 - 9/26

[(Anonymous)]

(hi! A new tracking!nonnie here. This might cause some flooding. Apologies in advance.)
---

Against Pollution (for takadainmate), R http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/2315482.html

Party Like It's 1999 (for hobbleit), PG-13 http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/2316768.html

The Circlet (for a dropout), NC-17 http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/2316847.html

Pollution - I didn't finish it, tbh. Dean's voice seemed off. I read it up to the scene where-in Dean tries to lure Castiel away from Sam (some time after Cas talks to a frog), but the dialogue sounded so not-Deanish that I stopped. Might still make a second go at it at one point - hypothermia! - but not right now.

Party makes me jealous of the author's skill, srsly. The kiss scene was just so beautiful.

Circlet- read this one all the way to the end, but the sex scene(s) didn't do it for me. I mean this is YMMV, but Dean's aggression the first time they had sex - alcohol or no - turned me off. Part of the prompt, I guess, but it made me sadface. Bad D:ean, no cookie. On a purely stylistic level the writing was good, although the second half seemed... not rushed exactly, more like a draft that didn't get the same amount of polish the first half did (+ a few SPAG issues), and the character interactions didn't read true to me. On a more positive note, gotta agree with one of the reviews: I liked the structure.

Ohh, I really liked Party. Consider me jealous too. I loved the characterization, and the fact that Dean can interpret Britney. I can just imagine Sam and Bobby's faces, lol. Well done.

D/C SA Week 2: 9/27 - 10/3

[(Anonymous)]

Remembrance (for kandkl) , PG-13 http://community.livejournal.com/deancas tiel/2344525.html
prompt: Castiel is almost human, very near to falling, but he protects Dean during a hunt anyway, like an instinct, and he gets injured. Dean is pissed and tells him he can't just go doing that anymore. Classic H/C.

Side by Side, We Go (for anoradh) PG-13 http://community.livejournal.com/deancas tiel/2345224.html
elements of two prompts: 1. Dean has been thinking about Cas and 2. Castiel thinks Dean is happy with Lisa. Also thank you to recipient for allowing me to go AU

Out of Our Nightminds (And Into the Light) (for chellefic), PG-13 http://community.livejournal.com/deancas tiel/2347077.html
prompt: ‘coming out’

Re: D/C SA Week 2: 9/27 - 10/3

I have a feeling that I Cleanse the Mirror is prob going to be one of the best fics to come out of this fest. Any guesses about the author? I think it might be takadainmate but I'm seeing a lot of authors I don't know receiving fics so I could be completely wrong.

Haven't read it yet. Looks like Cas is going to be "Jimmy" for 3/4 of the fic.

After spending some time staring at the not-actually-a-summary, trying to decide whether to bookmark this one for future reading, I said "fuck it" and just read it now.

It's quick read. A pretty straightforward domestic bliss fic, with very little angst. If anything, everything comes a bit too easy, but I was in the mood for a fic of that sort. The supernatural element is clever and pretty well-handled.

If you require a strong Sam presence in your D/C this is probably not the fic for you. While I thought Dean missing Sam was handled fairly well in the very last chapter, it doesn't really come up before then, and I bet that would be a deal-breaker for some.

How do they do so much awesome art!

Also, I tried this fic but only made it two paragraphs. I have a cold and do not have the inclination to read stilted fic. It might get better, but I am not sticking around to see.

Don't know if I want to try the fic (maybe after some reviews) but I have to say I find the Twilight-copying book covers weirdly charming.

'CAR PARTS'. That's priceless. I'm not really into the artist's style but her stuff has a lot of emotion in it. The 'clinging together laughing' picture had me smiling pretty hard.

When my bosom stops heaving, I could leave these examples:

"Cas you good?" Dean asked.
"Dean I'm fine I just..."

and

"I'm leaving Bobby," he [Dean] said quietly.

Despite appearances, Dean isn't breaking up with Bobby.

I am really disappointed by this first day of the RBB so far :/ The artists only posted one art each, basically the same one as the day of the art claim. I want to see MORE arts!

Aesc manip is beautiful but one art is just not enough IMO :/

I don't know about the fic I didn't read it (I am not a D/C shipper so...)
