It would be nice is my brain would turn off when I was reading fanfic. I mean, I like badfic because my brain doesn't turn off-- I find amusement value in the pretzels I'd have to turn my mind into to make sense of shoddy characterizations and stilted dialog, not to mention the plots.
But sometimes I find fic that is ALMOST good. And I know it's almost good. Like an SPN fic I found recently. It's well-written and really hot, and written about Evil!Sam, which I adore because mmm evil. And Evil!Sam is awesome, with a little bt of a hint of normal!Sam.
But he's torturing Dean in all sorts of ways and there's this one bit where Sam's all "What are you, Dean? You're my property." And I kept expecting Dean to respond "I'm your BROTHER." Because, you know... Dean is Dean. But he doesn't.
And then there's the whole "I'm giving myself up to Sam, and letting my soul die because I want to live and I love Sam and dad's dead because of me and Sammy's fucked up because of me and Sammy's fucking me and I'm only okay with it because he has made me NEED him with his amazing mind fucking POWAZ." And I am all "See, this is about where Dean might start questioning if HIS Sammy still existed. And started remembering what daddy said." Because if Sam ever told Dean that Dean wasn't a Hunter, he was Sam's pet, I'm pretty sure that's about when Dean would start looking for a gun.
And the problem is that it's a totally hot story and I don't want to overthink.
