Using big words comes from being the daughter of an english teacher. Thanks mom.

It's introspective? I was so afraid it sounded pretentious, and I'm totally ripping of Neon Genesis Evangelion (but with incest instead of Oedipus complexes and and giant robots that made the such an acid trip).

Oh my mind totally went to hot!priest AU but I forced it away. Because then I would have ended up with the boys in the seminary, but they don't know they're brothers because Sam "died" the night of Mary's death, and then Dean ended up in foster care because John couldn't take care of him, and then they fall in love, and are about to leave before they get ordained to be with each other, but Father Murphy reveals the existence of the Supernatural world and that they're brothers, which prompts Dean to freak out and run off.

And then years later, we find that Dean's gotten ordained and is in bumfuck, nowhere, when hunter!Sam turns up, because he's developing his powers and believes that the YED is after Dean, and after lots of angst and catholic guilt Dean responds to Sammy's advances, and there is copious amounts of porn involving confessions, altars, rosaries as sex toys and priest collars.

And then they avenge the death of their parents and Jim by destroying the YED with the help of Bobby, and after Sam survives when he was supposed to die (by destroying the YED along with himself from their blood bond), Dean realizes that it's their destiny to save people and their union is blessed, and thusly, hunter!Sam and roguepriest!hunter!Dean drive off in the Impala, hunting things and saving people.

You know, I don't think I can come up with a short story to save my life.

Firstly: OH HAI THER PRIEST!DEAN ICON.

Also, hey, your mom's a teacher, too? My mom used to be a reading teacher (she taught at the same middle school I went to, actually) but now she's a science teacher at an elementary school. I also have, like, four aunts who are teachers, so. Yeah, I guess that's just a popular profession in my family. o_O

Totally not pretentious! Though, I would argue that Sam is a walking advertisement for Oedipal issues (OH HAI JESS-WHO-LOOKS-LIKE-MARY-WHO-ALSO-LOOKS-A-LOT-LIKE-DEAN-WHO-HAPPENS-TO-BE-SAM'S-STAND-IN-MOM. HEY THERE, JOHN).

Also: HOW DID YOU COME UP WITH SUCH AN AWESOME PLOT SO QUICKLY? #envies# (LOL, I totally have the opposite problem, btw! Long stories don't like me. =o( ^___~)

I love Priest!Dean. If the priests in my parish looked like that I totally would have gone to church more.

My mom's the only teacher in the family. Isn't it such a pain when they're in the same district? I could never get away with anything, since EVERYBODY knew who I was.

Oh Sammy. I just hope your story ends better then Oedipus' did. At least you and Dean can't have kids! (DON'T FORGET THAT JESS AND DEAN TOTALLY HAD THE SAME BIRTHDAY. SAM IS SO NOT FOOLING ANYONE ANYMORE.)

I have no idea how I come up with these things. They just pop out of my head, and then I mess around a bit until it's coherent. AND NOW I REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO WRITE THE SECOND STORY BECAUSE I'M A SUCKER FOR PRIEST!DEAN, COMPETENT!SAM AND HAPPY ENDINGS. It's just gonna take me a while, cause I know I'll never be fully happy and I'll be constantly editing. THIS IS WHY I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING.

Damn, does Jensen have the prettiest lips.

If there were a priest that looked like Dean, I think we would all go to church more, LOL!

Actually--I'm going to sound like such a n00b for saying this--I actually kinda liked going to the same school my mom worked at. I was, like, the least-rebellious kid ever, and being a teacher's daughter endowed me with a special sense of privilege, like I was a part of the behind-the-scenes action there. I think I've always been just a little bit pretentious. #facepalm# ^___~

OMG now I've got an unbearable urge for some SPN/Antigone fanfic! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? (I was always kind of pissed at the show for giving Jess the same birthday as Dean. OMG, can that man have NOTHING to himself? Srsly? Not even his birthday? Also, Sam SO used Jess as an unconscious substitute for Dean. TRUFAX.)

YES, YOU MUST WRITE THAT STORY BECAUSE FANDOM NEEDS IT. If you want to talk it out or anything, hit me up.

Liiiiiips! Jensen's lips are amazing. If I had lips like Jensen's, I think I'd be in dire trouble, because I'd just sit in front of a mirror all day. Staring. (Modesty does not become him!)
