1. Old news, but
Patrick apologized for some of what he said, sort of: Regret the wording of my @altpress quote re: obesity/happiness. Spoke about my personal experience, accidentally generalized. Very sorry
As I said to
octette, it's not accidental, it's reflexive, because we live in a fatphobic culture. The good news is: anti-oppression exists!
I feel a bit better, in the "no one likes to think that someone whose work they appreciate thinks one is gross and unworthy," but also still sad for him.
2. Rec! "
if you were my brother, i could kiss you" by
eruthros. Supernatural, Sam/Dean, NC17, 4200 words, written for
kink_bingo. Really hot, ingenious AU--full content notes/warnings well-labelled in the story header.
Dean finally recognizes the holdup when the clerk curls a suspicious lip in the general direction of his tight undershirt and ragged jeans. "Oh, shit," he says, feeling his face heat with anger and embarrassment. And then, since he's drawn the clerk's attention, "... we're brothers."
The clerk keeps looking at them skeptically, but at least he relents enough to push the receipt across for Sam to sign.
***
Sam punches his shoulder, hard, as they walk to their room. "Asshole."
"What?" Dean's got his hand up to cover his shoulder, in case Sam hits him again.
"What do you think we were like as kids, big bro?" Sam has his eyes open wide and innocent. "Do you think Dad liked you better? Gosh, I bet we were awful pests at Sunday School!"
Dean laughs, relieved that it's not anything important, and hits Sam right back. "Cut it out, man, what does it matter if we lie to that jerk? I had to say something to get him off our backs."
"Oh, sure," says Sam, sounding like he's going to drop it, which -- damn, means he never will.
3. I've been updating my
books in 2011 post as I finish things, but keep forgetting to link it. There are eleven new and re-read books in the post now, some with some thoughts shared, and some not so much.
