OMG SIDEBAR GIF OVERLOAD :O

OTOH, the summary is so lulzy and the author fully admits to her crack:

Jensen Ackles is abducted by aliens and put in an intergalactic natural history museum. Bold space captain Jared and his crew of adventurers discover him, but can they bring him home again?

Also, wtf awakencordy? Unclench a little.

I love the art for this! Gabriel was a little too human for my tastes, but the story was written well and the ending made me giggle a lot.

I'm not a fan of melancholy fic, but I really liked this. Maybe because I know it doesn't end there for them in S6, don't know. She writes well from Sam's viewpoint.

The art is really lovely too.

Much much love for the art. Really cute.

The story was nice and schmoopy and I enjoyed it apart from the odd spelling error and the sex scene included 'dick pulsing' which kinda ruined the mood because it made me giggle.

I'm halfway through this and I think it's pretty damn cool. There's a nice balance of plot and emotion, and I'm excited where things are going.

A lot of fic that features Castiel becoming human emphasizes the angst, anger and sorrow of the process, but I like that this fic has Castiel put his angst on the backburner because he's focused on helping Dean and Sam. It feels very much like Show that way, with Castiel's priorities on the fact that it's the end of the world.

It's tough to pull off a story from Castiel's POV, especially one of this length, so props to the author for going for it. I think they did a pretty good job, too.


Curious, Castiel discreetly pointed the flashlight at his own eyes when Dean had turned away, just to see what it felt like.

I love little moments like this, where Castiel learns and figures things out matter-of-factly.

Now to see where the plot's heading...

I can't tell what the manip is supposed to be. There's Dean looking like Jensen, a beautiful blonde woman, a man wearing a hoodie partially obscuring his face, and fireworks and red things. I don't get it. I don't get the composition, or the colors or the characters or anything about it.

The artist also says they have not read the fic, and it seems they have no intention of reading it. I find that odd.

The fic has a fun concept. It starts with a familiar scene of Dean and Sam waking up in a hotel room, but something is off, Dean is feeling like crap, and suddenly some OFC is there. Dean responds to her with a mixture of familiarity and admiration and love, and yet the close 3rd person pov describes her as if she were a stranger.

I think that was a good idea for the hook, and I also enjoyed the way hunters_retreat plays with narration throughout the fic, showing the OFC to be all kinds of suspicious but telling the reader she is the awesomest ever to awesome, in a mantra like way.

Unfortunately, the fic suffers for not having had a grammar and structure editor cast a second eye on it. There are badly conjugated verbs, jarring tense changes, awkward sentences and awkward flow. The set-up is okay, but the plot develops too slowly, and the ending is rather abrupt.

The end result is a fic which doesn't mine even a tenth of the emotional potential in concept. It could have been emo porn of the highest order, but it's bland instead.

Well written but ends very abruptly with no resolution. It would only really work for me as the epilogue to a larger story and I'd really like to see that from this writer.

I don't usually go for the schmoop/angst fics but I like this fic a lot, I like that Cas lays his heart out in the open, not afraid of telling Dean his feelings even though Dean doesn't return it. Another thing is that I too am in a long distance sorta-relationship and the heartache and frustration rings true.

I am confused. Where's the art?

As for the story, it has some punctuation problems, and the characterization didn't really work for me.

Pretty awesome characterization of Sam, Dean and John. Love it when teenchesters kick grown up hunter ass. Sam!whumpage was delicious but not OTT. The art is pretty cool too, love it when people can draw well without references/digital help.

Karaoke Night (or How Dean finally Got A Clue and Just Asked the Angel Out Already) for mithrel, Hard R, http://community.livejournal.com/deancastiel/2457270.html
Notes/prompts:
1. You Give Me Something by James Morrison (hope you like its usage)
2. “Dude. Everyone knew but you!” Dean finally realizes how he feels about Cas and proceeds to freak out. When he calms down and starts trying to get together with Cas, Cas is oblivious.
3. When Cas finally became human on the show we didn’t get to see much of Dean’s reaction. I’d like a fic exploring that.(I changed this one to fit the storyline, but hopefully it’s to your liking)
4. Sam gets sick of Dean and Cas mooning over each other, and enlists Gabriel’s help to get them together. Unfortunately, Gabriel’s plans are more for his own amusement than to help Sam out.
