Insta fic rec!!

Oh my. This.

I think I might be experiencing a bit of an Impala obsession at the moment, but this fic by smilla02 is just glorious. I was wiping away tears and then beaming with joy. Impala POV that is heart wrenchingly perfect.

Of Moving Objects and the Stillness in Between (spoilers for S6)


And really? You all don't have a song you'd like to see me vid? You sadden me dearest flist... (*g* of course you don't really, but you've got to be in it to win it...*g*).

You learn something every day..

Slash--the homosexualization of a relationship between two characters who do not have a sexual relationship with one another in canon (taken from some interesting meta found here)

I would say that I should be ashamed not to know the actual meaning of the word, but really I came into fandom pretty naive in the ways of slash. Well, let's say completely innocent in fact. I mean, I know what I'm in for when I read slash, I just didn't know the "canon" part.

I remember my very first encounter with the notion that Sam and Dean could be written has having sex together as totally WTF! How dare anybody do that!! It didn't make a lot of sense to me and well, I did some reading and..., let's say I have been (deliciously) corrupted. *G*


Anyway... that's probably by the by, what is interesting is the linked meta. It's interesting to me that as much as I can read and enjoy slash I rarely view the actual show that way. I mean, sure there are moments that could be considered "slashy" and sometimes I think the producers chuck that in there to mess with us but for fans to begrudge either Sam or Dean a sexual relationship with someone (in the show) because it would mean they the couldn't have that with each other seems kinda strange. In the show they don't have that with each other. We can imagine they do (for those who wish to) but they are actually brothers who have a very special, loving, non-sexual relationship. (I know. Shock! *g*)

Anyway cagedwriter61 makes some interesting points and I suspect it will be stir up some controversy. Especially why slashers slash (well, that bit did for me). I suspect (as with anything fandom), viewpoints will vary differently. But that's good. \o/

(You can tell I'm on holiday because I'm blabbing a lot - and probably not making much sense either).

Right, of to do some coaching.
