I Reject Your Reality and Replace It With My Own

Alright, Route 666 Dean Meta for spn_heavymeta is done!!  You may read it here.

After watching Route 666 five times (!!!) I no longer hate Cassie.  I KNOW, ME TOO!!  Because after a couple of viewings, and watching how Dean acts in it, I just want to smush him and love him and bake him pies.  Because he DESERVES pies.  *pets*  He wants someone to love him.  He wants someone to love him and not leave him and CHOOSE him.  So far that hasn't happened.  *glares at Sam*

The scene right before Dean and Cassie have sex?  Is actually quite good.  It's the one time their awkwardness around one another really works.  The hands behind their backs posture, the way the hallway scene is framed, it all really, REALLY, works.  The rest of the episode?  Eh.  I still fast forwarded through the Mom's speech all five times so I hope I wasn't missing some giant emotional breakthrough of Sam/Dean/Cassie.  And Sam and Dean sitting on the hood of the car talking about killer truck makes me smile.  The ease, the familiarity, just...they can look at one another with such affection sometimes it blows me away.  sargraf said it best in her Manlove PicSpam - Dean and Sam help each other the most when they're friends, not brothers.  That is EXACTLY it, in my book. 

And don't get me wrong, I still dislike Cassie (in the same way I dislike Sarah).  Sam and Dean don't get to have girls.  They get each other, that's it.  Otherwise Kripke can expect a few hostile, drunken phone calls next season.  But I have a new respect for the episode.  Sure, the killer truck is laughable (when it bops up and down and grumbles?  Awww, it's so CUTE) and no, Dean's not allowed to have a One True Love -  but the brother bits?  Those made it worth it.  Those ALWAYS make it worth it.  Why do you think I've watched Hookman so many times?   

I know you're all excited to see the new crack that I've brought you, but before we get started, let me say a couple of things.  I love ladymango.  Dearly.  She is my brain twin.  She puts up with my craziness and even encourages it.  She writes me cheers when I'm feeling down, she holds my hand when I want to read a S2 spoilers, and she always has a suggestion when I get stuck on a problem.      

She also draws these amazing pictures.  Amazing, cracked out pictures to whatever bizarre idea my brain spits out.  I'll link to the pictures when we're finished, and you can go over and fangirl her and her crazy mad drawing skillz.  

Kiddo, it isn't even your birthday, but this one's for you. :)

ETA: I better mention there is quite a lot of violence in this episode.  Granted, it's Photoshop violence, but it is blood and guts none the less.  And if your mind is in the naughty place then there might be some *ahem* sexual situations.  But if you go into this with a Gen outlook you will leave it with a Gen outlook, I swear. 

Now on with the show.
