Hey, DB fen....

 Further update to the previous.

Wrote another couple hundred-ish words on that transfic yesterday. (It's MTF!Dean, by the way. And as you might expect, whole new levels of angst.) Problem: I think yesterday's part was so good I'm not gonna be able to make the rest live up to it. Especially not the rest of it that appeared in my mind last night --

1. OK, I should have specified that you don't count. ;)
2. This is completely and utterly hilarious.

OK, it seems that you already have plenty of things-that-shouldn't-be-in-this-fic

Ha, true enough. Ryan's very good at those. ;)

*glee* It's trying to be basically a character study right now, but the muse ran off, so I just needed things that might segue into that (seeing as the story is definitely not done currently, but I don't know what comes next). So that's pefect. Thank you so much!

Lucky you :)

You're welcome. If you need anything more, just yell really loud in my direction. I'm usually willing to help, but l-a-z-y.

Lol, it's cool, I know how that goes.

Dean being trans is awesome and should definitely be explored further.

It would actually explain some of why Dean comes off so almost self-consciously macho--because it's an act. I've seen pics of LMG with hair, and yes, rather pretty which would definitely be a hazard as an undercover. Especially to one who's trying desperately to hide the woman she really is with the skin of the man her parts say she is.

One thing I can think of for where to take this: Carter canonically pretty much knows everything, especially about his team, so maybe he figures out the truth of Dean? Possibly Dean gets too drunk around Carter some time and lets something slip?

(The alternative explanation for the macho I've occasionally thought of is that Dean's closer to the gay end of the spectrum and trying his hardest to overcompensate for that, but Dean being trans works even better).

Thanks, glad you think so. I do too, so I'll do my best. (And then I'll get back to that FTM!Neal fic. Mhmm.)

Also--you know I ship Carter/Dean, so this shouldn't surprise you.

The combination of Carter's caretaking/protective streak and fluid sexuality (imo, anyway) to me add up to a guy who could handle a relationship with someone who's trans. So taking this in that direction could be interesting, although I'll happily read (and if desired beta) gen character study as well.

Yeah, that had occurred to me, but it's not seeming like the story really wants to head that way. We'll have to wait and see.
