Title: The Shorts
Author: zara_zee
Pairings: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~2,000-

Disclaimer: In this story ‘Jared’ and ‘Jensen’ are the characters that appeared in the French Mistake. I am a wuss about non-au and couldn’t manage to write it, despite being hugely inspired by THOSE SHORTS. You know the ones. So. I don’t own these characters, more’s the pity. And this was written for fun, not profit.

Warnings: Porn. Mentions of polyamory.

A/N: First there was the gag reel. Then there was THIS drawing, shared by somersault_j. What can I say? I was inspired. This is a birthday fic for somersault_j, who said ‘why did you stop there?’

Summary: Jensen’s swinging his hips and twerking for all he’s worth. He’s doing some pretty obscene things with the hose too, things he knows won’t make it onto the gag reel, but it’s worth it to see the look on Jared’s face. Jensen has never claimed to be a saint. Riling up his co-star is fun.

I thoroughly enjoyed episode 11.19. Really interesting, freaky MOTW and some nice character stuff. It also made me think a lot about love in all its various forms. As we all do, I have lots of head-canon around Sam and Dean and in my personal head-canon, Dean is bi-sexual. That head-canon and my contemplation about love led me to this coda...

So I really liked the last episode. It was one that seems to have divided a lot of people Some loved it, some hated it. I mostly just think it's great that Show can still generate so much passion after 11 seasons.
Anyway, I haven't done a coda for a while. Lots of reasons, but partly because I haven't been inspried to write anything. Often because I just felt there was nothing I could add and last week, because I utterly lacked the capacity to be articulate after such an intense episode.
This week...I guess you could call this a tribute to the badass women of Supernatural.

I was delighted to see Rowena again and I had no issue at all with her coming back via a spell in her leg. We know witches are powerful--think Maggie and Don Stark who laid out leviathans with a flick of the wrist, but didn't want to get involved. Witches are not heros in this universe. They are selfish and they are survivors. Of course Rownena had a back up plan. I've also decided that I love Billie and Amara far too much to really view them as 'baddies'. And apparently I'm still not over Charlie's death...

I enjoyed the last episode. I've always loved Jodi and I've never minded either Alex or Claire. In last week's ep, I really liked all three of the women and the Sam and Dean we had was great, so I didn't feel ripped off in that regard or anything. Solid ep for me with bonus cooking and cleaning!

This week's coda was inspired by

frozen_delight's glorious gifspam and associated conversations and the title was inspired by a conversation with

kalliel (and others) about the difficulty of naming fics and writing summaries! :D

Loved the last episode. It made me think about the stages of life, about what gives a life meaning and how that can change.

The resulting story is for

frozen_delight, whose episode tags I always enjoy and with whom I share head-canon about Dean's status as a card carrying clean-freak.

Firstly, happy birthday, Dean Winchester!

Secondly...there were things I liked and things I didn't like about the last ep, but I'm still engaged and intrigued and have many thinky thoughts about where things might be going, so all is good.

This piece is mostly an RIP for Rowena, even though I don't think she will (and don't want her to), this being Supernatural and all.

Now, see, I can't be having Sammy in the Cage.

Even if it's actually a small c cage of Rowena's creation. Nope. Uh uh. I mean, yes, the H/C fan in me is sort of rubbing her hands together, but...if Show's record on dealing with the Big Issues is anything to go by (Dean's Hell experience, Dean's alcoholism) then they'll give this some cursory treatment and then drop it like a hot potato and this time, they've actually got a lot closer to outright stating what might happen with the inneuendo than they usually do so...just...no. This is a Really Big Issue. Do it properly or leave it alone. Preferably the latter.

Don't get me wrong. I freakin' loved the episode. (And I love all the fabulous fic and meta that's come out of it too!) I'm just terrified of what's to come.

So this is sort of...sort of...a fixit fic...because I can't leave Sammy so powerless and vulnerable...

Current Mood: worried

So, so late to the 11.08 party! For RL related reasons I only got to see the ep Monday night and have just had time to write a tag now! I haven't seen 11.09 yet...I get the impression, though, that it was a doozy.

So, on the offchance that anyone hasn't had 11.08 completely blown out of their head by now, here is my tag.

I really, really liked this episode and I'd love to see the Zanna again. :D

Also if anyone hasn't yet read

frozen_delight's 11.08 coda Peter Pan, please do so. It's wonderful; chock full of brotherly feels!

I always enjoy case based episodes and I like the old school creepy ones...and what is creepier than ghost possessed people in scary masks? The bunny was terrifying, as was the clown. I'm not a huge fan of Sheriff Donna, but she's starting to grow on me. She's hiding a lot underneath that chipper, darn tootin' mask.
Anyway, suffice to say I enjoyed the ep and I'm bummed that we don't get a new one this week. I guess that's because you're all too busy in America baking pie and stuffing turkey to watch television on Wednesday night? On which note, I hope my American Flisties have a wonderful Thanksgiving on Thursday...mmm turkey...

Another sensational episode. I haven't been this speculative since we all wondered what was wrong with Sam! Did I say that already? I may have. Anyway...if you're going to mess around with religions on your Show, you may as well go the whole way and really poke at it.

You know, like suggesting that the Deity of one of the bigger patriarchal religions on the planet had a sister who he betrayed and locked away...
After this episode I had to go and re-read

kalliel's wonderful story Every Little Girl's Favorite, because it just fits so well into what seems to be becoming canon!

The episode left me so intrigued for what's coming next in Amara's storyline and wondering how Sam and Dean--two boys from Kansas-- fit into the bigger cosmic picture.

Another awesome episode that I loved muchly. I may even have loved this one as much as Baby, but then I did kind of spoil Baby for myself by thinking the Impala was going to turn into a person at some point!
Anyway, the new writer did good: knew her SPN history and made use of it. And it was a nice case!fic linked to the main story arc, with a lovely early seasons vibe. Very enjoyable.

There's lot of interesting speculation about why there was such a focus on how losing your soul impacts different people different ways and

ash48 made the suggestion that perhaps Amara sucked out Dean's soul in episode one, my response to which is "Ooooohhhh! Fascinating!" Dean certainly has seemed a little flat this season, but then who wouldn't, given what he's been through? At this point I'm not 100% sold on the idea of Soulless!Dean, but it's certainly a possibility and I can't wait to find out! And what's with the dark winged things that Len feels might hatch from inside him? Was that just a super creepy analogy or something more literal?

The only things I knew about 11.04 were...that it was called Baby and it was going to be told from the Impala's POV. For some reason, I interpreted this as 'Baby gets turned into a person' and I was quite nervous about the whole episode. Consequently, I spent the entire episode waiting with trepidation for Baby to turn into a person and was quite perplexed when that didn't happen! It wasn't until my second watch-through that I realised that practically the whole thing was filmed from inside the car! So then I had to watch it again.

This episode had pretty much everything I want from an episode, which caused me no end of trauma when trying to decide what to write about, because apparently my episode tags are either fix-it fics or that one scene I wanted but didn't get. What to write about when you get everything you wanted?

I considered writing about Dean's: "I'm not little, like I actually was when he taught me to drive", but I've read more than one excellent fic written by really talented writers that deal with Dean learning to drive when he was a little kid, so I decided against that. In the end I decided to write about Piper, for the simple reason that I thought her scene was shot through her gaze and I appreciated that. Also, I do wonder if she's going to turn out to be something more. I always remember that Ruby was initially presented to us as an insignificant hook up...

There were things that I enjoyed about this week's episode.

Visually, I thought it looked good. I liked the look and feel and think that Jensen did a good job directing.

I enjoyed Rowena. I like her character and I think that Ruth does a wonderful job with her. Her, "but I'm in heels" comment made me laugh out loud.

I continue to be intrigued by the Darkness and find myself mulling over the fact that Death described it as amoral...unaware of or indifferent to 'right' or 'wrong'. Crowley may find the Darkness far harder to manipulate than he anticipates.

Dean's shirt (you know the one) made me think of an episode of Angel, where Angel dressed very similarly and assumed the role of somebody's driver so that he could get close without being recognised.
And I liked him getting shot down by the blonde woman too.

The angel and the demon who walked into a bar..that amused me. But. I do hope that it doesn't become a thing. The rebel alliance. And suddenly they get their own story.

twnchesterangel made the comment on

cassiopeia7's journal that supporting characters are meant to support. And that's what I want to see. The supporting characters supporting Sam and Dean's story, not skipping off to the side with their own separate storyline.

I was pretty ho hum about Castiel's fairly quick and easy fix.I expected it,so there was no tension and they didn't do anything overly interesting with characterisation so, yeah. (Please Show, do something interesting with Castiel this season. There are possibilities this season, what with the Darkness and maybe even God getting involved. But see note above about supporting characters.)

And then Dean refused to let Cas heal him because he 'had it coming' and my heart shattered into a million pieces. Dean has a habit of breaking my heart and...I just couldn't stop thinking about Dean and that line. So of course, that's what I had to write about.

So episode 11.02 made me think more thinky thoughts and I am very keen to see episode three because it feels very much like last season, that the opening gambit is sort of a three ep arc.

Firstly, kudos to

indiachick for correctly predicting the fire solution! I may have bemused my son by shouting Ha! Indiachick picked that! at my TV screen. :\

I really enjoyed smart!Sam and I'm interested in the Crowley/demons story line, and what's going on in the cage...especially given that Sam seemed to be having cage flashbacks. I have to say though, that the angel storyline didn't interest me at all this week. And that's a shame because with the Darkness coming back into the world, there's potential for the angels to become interesting again, provided they can integrate them back into the main storyline properly. Holding out hope for that to start happening next episode.

This week's coda is shamelessly self-indulgent, in that I wanted the brotherly talk that we didn't get, and it's also a wee bit speculative, in that I throw out some wacky theories because I'm intrigued and finding it fun to speculate!

My all-time favourite ever season opener was Lazarus Rising, back in Season 4. The Season 11 opener hasn't bumped it from top spot, but there was plenty that I engaged with.

To be honest, I was a little ho-hum when I heard that this season's big bad, a pre-creation destructive force of pure evil, was going to be personified as a woman. Really? Again with the women are evil, women are dangerous, destructive forces schtick? Sigh. But actually...so far, I'm liking Amara. The actress who played the un-named Darkness definitely had an other-worldly allure and it got me thinking (which is always good when you're planning to write a coda!) The Darkness came into the world as thick black fog. Why is it suddenly a woman? Women hadn't even been created when the Darkness was locked away. Therefore, the Darkness must've chosen that form. Why?

So here is my episode coda...less a coda though, and more of a prelude. Darkness POV.

Due to popular demand,

spn_x is now for all things S10 and beyond! If you haven't already joined, you should...there'll be codas and meta and discussion and it will be fun!
