No, I don't know why I do these things. But in my defense I wrote most of this while extremely bored at work, so um. It's my work's fault? Yeah.

I missed Supernatural last night, twas Viv's fault. Luring me with legal paers and red wine

phaballa April 3 2006, 17:42:17 UTC

Red wine, EW. Supernatural is way prettier.

Okay, I've never seen The OC, but you totally don't need to like this story. And I really really did.

"Is that true? No-never mind, don't answer that. Look Seth. It's just… it slows your reflexes." So you can't hunt demons. "And… and fucks your concentration." So you can't hunt demons. "And… completely ruins hand-eye coordination." So you can't hunt demons. Freaking LOVED this paragraph!

He misses Dean, and he can't help but think about him now, think about how much Dean would like this. He's such a physical person, Dean, and he would love this feeling, like every particle is buzzing on the surface of his skin, all slow and drowsy and nice. Awww. I love that he misses Dean. Am I the only one that things Dean would be HILARIOUS stoned? Much love for this story.l

OMG, I like *need* to see Dean stoned right now. Or very very drunk, that would be okay too.

I'm glad you liked it despite the O.C.ness. It just seemed appropriate, they're both so emo...and pretty.

LOL. Someone needs to write a stoned!Dean fic. Have we ever actually seen Dean drunk on the show? I swear he was drunk in an episode, but perhaps it was in a fic. I read so much, LOL.

Wow... if my brain could function properly after this one i could find something better to say... give me a minute...

::gets thoughts together::
::deep breath::

Okay, so yeah. The first part:
Sam still remembers the look on his brother's face the day he left-heartbroken and angry and betrayed all at once, like somehow wanting to have a normal life was the worst kind of sin.
--Okay that, that right there, is the epitome of how Dean would have reacted to his little brother suddenly up and saying 'I don't want this life anymore, i'm going.' I can't really explain why that hit me so hard, but it did - mostly beacuse of its perfection.

Then: "You're not Dean."
--Guh. Nice, hit me where it hurts. But you did it right, perfect words and all, and not many people can pull that off all in one neat package.

Moving on...

This family, this way of being-if his mom hadn’t been killed by an unspeakably evil thing, would it have been he and Dean playing video games and joking about some girl called Marissa who's apparently been on something ( ... )

phaballa April 3 2006, 19:36:44 UTC

OMG, what a fantastic and lovely review! I am not scared, don't worry :P

I think that as little as he's actually in this story, it's about Dean and what it means to have a family and a brother, no matter how fucked up that situation is. And yeah, lots of my fic is all about finding a home, you can't go home, etc, because I'm 25 and um... it's a quarter life crisis Garden State sort of deal :P

I'm glad you liked it so much! And thanks for the feedback, I am very flattered :)

God, I adore this. I love crossovers where the author makes it work, and you definitely did it here. Everyone is very much in character. I particularly enjoyed seeing Seth's particular brand of shallowness through Sam's much more mature eyes, and how Seth rubbed off on him just a little. They're both socially inept in very different ways, aren't they?

Uhm, one minor thing... the first word in part 6 should be "Sam," I think, not "Dean."

I really enjoyed this, and will be bookmarking it for future re-reading.

phaballa April 3 2006, 19:43:29 UTC

*headdesk* You're right. Sometimes I get confused because I've been watching Gilmore Girls so long and I think of him as Dean and then... yeah :P I will have to change that.

And thanks! I'm glad you liked it, and the crossover aspect, which I'm not even sure why I did that except I thought, "Hey wouldn't it be weird if..."

Oh Seth. I need to find some more Seth/Ryan fic! For serious.

Goddamnit. Okay thanks :P

aproposofnothin April 3 2006, 21:20:34 UTC

WOW! I never would have thought to cross these over, but once you'd done it (so, so well) I couldn't figure out why it hadn't been thought of before!

Seth and Sam complement each other so well, he is the perfect welcome wagon to the Real World for Sam, all babbling his sleepy welcome and encouraging Sam to smoke pot and making out and taking Sam home and feeding him metaphorical soup. LOVE the parallels you drew between Ryan and Dean. Love, just love, love, love. The end.

phaballa April 3 2006, 22:02:32 UTC

Thanks! I'm glad it makes sense to someone else :P And I love writing Seth and his babbling, and Ryan and Dean with their saving people thing. The end was so hard! It took me forever, so I'm glad it turned out well.
