easy for two people to lose each other
Went to my sister's for a barbecue, and came home and took a nap. I am totally wiped for some reason. Possibly all the not-sleeping I did in August has caught up to me.
There was fic yesterday, in case you missed it:
There's Never Time to Save, You're Paying By the Hour
Supernatural; Sam, Dean; pg; spoilers through AHBL2; 6,710 words
"What are the odds we pull into a freaking haunted motel? I swear, it's like the only karma we have is bad."
This story was heavily inspired by the Homicide episode "Full Moon," which is one of my favorite episodes of that series. I was going to ramble about titles, and why I like fan titles much better than a lot of titles of published works, and how posting this story was held up because I didn't have a title that suited (the working title no longer, um, worked, sadly, as the story lacks both money and madness), and how it almost ended up being called Blue Moon, which felt really generic to me, and therefore only to be used as a last resort. But I am really sleepy and not much with the sense making right now. *yawn*
It was interesting to me in the writing of it, how the things I thought it was about - how Sam and Dean are really good at what they do, and that what they do is important, and for that knowledge to be brought home to Sam yet again (with a side order of how awesome Dean is) - sort of took a right and became about secrets, and how everybody's got one (or more), and they're not always what you think, and sometimes, they can end up with somebody dead, but sometimes, you don't need to know what they are. And stuff. I don't know. It's very much a story about Sam and Dean and all the stuff they know that no one else ever will, and how Sam is maybe okay with that now. With, of course, a side order of how awesome Dean is.
Partly that's because I didn't know the big twist of the story until Wednesday night, and once that made itself known to me, everything else kind of fell into place. And partly it's because the story I end up writing is very rarely about what I think it's going to be about when I start out. One of the things I love best about writing is that discovery, that "Oh, I get it now!" moment when you realize what story you are actually telling.
Anyway.
I am kind of punchy, so have the last five songs that played on iTunes:
Pata Pata - Miriam Makeba
The Girl from Ipanema Goes to Greenland - The B-52s
Fool in the Rain - Led Zeppelin
Where Eagles Dare - Misfits
Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard - Paul Simon
