OMG. I LOVE IT. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

*ahem*

Hahaha, seriously, this was so much fun and just as ridiculous as I imagined it would be while still being believable as a lighter little case file for the two of them and seeing Sam in his natural environment is always a plus. As is Sam getting the girl. ;)

Also, this?
"Sitting around discussing existential angst in postmodern poetry is really not my idea of a good time. I'd rather just eat the peach."
Made me die laughing. Who knew literate Dean was so much fun?

And Sam actively reading self-help while Dean gets sucked into a romance novel and Harry Potter and Alexandro's throbbing member and Lurlene Finkenbinder and Janet Evanovich and, oh. I love this forever.

[belyste]

Hahaha, thank you! I'm glad it was still sort of believable, and not just completely random crack.

Dean reading Harry Potter just cracked me up for some strange reason. I could totally see it being a guilty pleasure for him, with all the vanquishing of evil and kickass spells (although he'd probably be pissed about the whole prophecy/destiny thing, ha). Prufrock maybe not so much, but he had to take high school English, right? At least that's what I'm going to believe.

Anyway, I'm glad you liked it! Yay for random literary crack!

Oh man, this is AWESOME! I mean, bookstores are love, SamnDean are love, so the two together? LOVE!

Your way of writing the boys is just wonderful - it all feels so natural. *tries to channel your bantering skills for her next fic*

Dean paraphrasing T.S. is brilliant, and oh. Touchy-feely self-help yoga crap! \o/

I love the image of Sam and Jess taking the piss out of romance novels. So cute.
"Okay, I'm officially weirded out," Sam says conversationally. Hee!

And the sexually confused cat! *glee* Seriously awesome that you managed to slip that into a fic. :D

It's the lamest salt-and-burn they've ever done AHAHA. Poor boys.

Also, Dean getting into Harry Potter is adorable!

[belyste]

Aww, thank you so much! Hee, touchy-feely self-help yoga crap will just never not be funny to me.

And I'm glad you liked the romance novel stuff - making fun of them is kind of a hobby of mine, and all the random details are taken from actual books I've read and mocked.

And the cat! Hee. It was begging to be included in a crack fic.

I'm sort of ridiculously attached to the idea of Dean reading Harry Potter now. And the more I think about it, the parallels are kind of scary, with the Demon/Voldemort killing family members and prophecies/destiny...not to mention ghosts and spells and all. Hmm.

[teithiwr]

I know, I really love that image! Dean would be such a fangirl. :D Except when he'd be going all "wait, this seems so familiar"... Awww.

[blueliath]

lol, loved it! :D

[belyste]

Ha, thank you! :)

[nilequeenpatty]

That was so awesome; I giggled through the whole thing. Your characterizations were spot on! How come there are never any ghost attacks and hot supernatural fighting brothers around when I'm hanging out at Barnes and Noble? *sigh* Life is so unfair.

[belyste]

Thank you! I've often wondered that same thing...clearly Sam and Dean need to branch out from hotels and asylums and hit the mall. :)

[brigid_tanner]

Loved that! I love book stores, and I can see Sam and Jess mocking romance novels and Dean reading them out loud, and totally getting into Harry Potter. Nice little non-violent (much) case for them.

[belyste]

Thank you! I spend way too much time just wandering in book stores, and Dean and Harry Potter is still possibly my favorite thing ever. :)
