Okay. Back now, though I haven't had any coffee yet so lord help us all.

I LOVE how Dean is completely, morbidly vulnerable here. He's always just thatclose to snapping and wailing how he can't taaaake it anymore in canon - here, you snapped him utterly. AND THEN ELLEN PICKED UP THE PIECES. *melts* It's too perfect. Someone needs to be there for that poor boy and bear some of the load, or even just understand some of the load, but his load is just so big and he's got this whole macho-possessive "my load, back off" thing - and Ellen is big enough and macho enough and maternal enough to smack his hands and say, "Share, boy. You gonna argue?"

I lovelovelove Ellen. I love how she almost wants to smack him too, because he is wallowing stupidly, but refrains because she's bigger than that. Almost. She does slap him, but tenderly, with affection. A total message that, "You're being stupid and I don't like what you're implying about me, but I wubs you anyway, dork."

I love how Sam wants to get it, because he's a sensitive guy, but how he kind of doesn't because he is still a guy and besides, this is his awesome big brother. But Sam still cares, so he finds someone who will get it and help; not just fix the curse but help Dean. IMO, you've got Sam nailed.

And you called Dean a whore, to much roffling on my part.

It's amazing, pet. People are going to think I'm stalking you if I keep putting so much of your stuff into my rec list.

How do you even function in the morning without coffee? *stares horrified at LJ comments that were made before my morning coffee*

Heh, that's exactly why Ellen just WORKS as Dean's therapist/almost-mommy. She's no-nonsense enough to not push any of his MARY buttons. He gravitates towards her and she doesn't threaten that perfect madonna image of Mary he built up which makes her all but perfect...

You got a thing for Dean being called a whore? We should start a club *nods head in my hooker!Dean fic's direction*

And feel free to keep stalking. I don't mind ;)

Not well. Trufax.

Dean's a hooker? You're a doll and I love you forever. I'm supposed to be writing Adult!Ben, but the siren song of hooker!fic calls I need time for the coffee to kick in anyway, amirite?

Since I don't care about adult!Ben at all, yes, 'morning coffee' is way more important ;)

We shall call it Bottom!Dean & The League of Filthy Whoooores For Otherwise Totally Normal Women (OMGdunjudge!). Our club.

Which would be, what... B!D&TLFWFOTNW(Odj!). Eh, mebbe a bit long. Accurate though.

I've had this thing working around in my head ever since reading some comment by Jared or Jensen (probably Jensen) about the epic love story of Sam and Dean ending being Butch/Sundance or Thelma/Louise. I want a happy ending; I'm a sucker like that. So I've been trying to figure out how on earth these two get a happy ending in the midst of all their crap. There was a wish on the spn_rambleon about Adult!Ben that sort of tickled my happyendingthing. No idea if it's gonna work. We shall see. I'm claiming it fills "group support" on my hc_bingo because you are correct: multifills FTW.
