Ooh. I'm early. :)

RL left me alone, so after 5 hours of mad typing (and an hour of wrestling with LJ), here it is: the sequel to "Chicago."

Length: 5,400 words
Pairings: Doug/Carol (from ER)
Rating: PG, for a bit of language
Spoilers: none

And I'll warn you: somebody dies in this.

It helps if you're familiar with ER, but not entirely necessary. The ( Read more... )

crossover, dean, sam, john, carol hathaway, er, outsider pov

I hate him but I love him.
Truer words were never spoken. Very nice, second part, too. :)

Wow, that was fast! You get the "I read faster than greased lightning" prize.

When I re-watched "Fathers and Sons" last night, it amazed me how many parallels there were between Papa Ross and John. Ross Sr. left for weeks at a time, was emotionally unavailable, dragged his kid around in the car through various states, taught him to drive when he was 14 (I think), and completely f-ed up both his life and his kid's. Then there's the classic car. Pretty big stuff.

And of course there's that line: "I hated the bastard. But I loved him."

I think it's more like the "She logs on just as the good stuff hits her Friends Page" AKA "Nice timing, Stalker." award.

I feel like a broken record, but this is just wonderful. A pissing contest between Dean and Doug. It could so absolutely happen. I love Sam's thoughtful, "My brother can take him." and again the reminder of the rule to Dean. Just that backs Dean him off. So perfect.
Of course Carol will help, how can she not. Am going off to read part 2 now.

When I saw Doug's dad's car, I thought, "How perfect is this." It IS about 75 feet long, and I have to say, I just am not a big fan of tailfins.

And somebody named Carol helping the Winchesters? But of course...

I’m an idiot,” Doug says as he walks past Mark and Carol. I very much like the way you've written Doug.

Thoroughly liked the way you've laid this out and Carol's pov throughout.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had fun working with the ER characters - their voices came really easily (and I'd never done any straight-ER fic).

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I was asked to make a few crossover recs so I rec'd Chicago and Random Chances here.

Oh, thanks! "Chicago" is still one of the most popular of my fics - maybe this will bring in some new readers.
