I really [Poll #1528944]

I keep thinking I have a fic to post, and then I realize I haven't finished editing yet.

Oh. And I'm feeling nostalgic. So, please rec me your favorite Sirius/Remus fics? :D Any era, happy or sad, long or short. Just don't rec the Shoebox Project. Not because it isn't great, but because it's kind of obvious. And I am still slightly bitter that it was never finished. Feel free to rec your own stories as well.

ETA:familiardevil  explained it to me the other day, but I have since forgotten. How do I make my posts appear on a white, plain background as opposed to looking like my lay out? Thanks!

ETA 2: Question answered!

I think Dean's always believed that though. Sam's the one who had to be convinced. But I do think Dean still wants/kind of secretly believes Sam can have that. (Or at least he did back in Wishful Thinking; things have rather changed since then). Though I do agree that the Apocalypse has really hammered the point home that he's really, really never getting his happily after.

so where do you take two characters who don't imagine a future for themselves, you know
To the future of course! :D That's why I'm so excited about season 6. I want to see how this conflict gets resolved, and what the boys do once they no longer have to do it.

(also, I think somewhere in this is an essay about Dean as following a fundamentally Kantian philosophy.)

Because curtains look silly in cars
*snorts* Fair enough!

Also, do you mind if I link this at spnland_media to kind of give people an idea of what qualifies as "meta"-y. Because I think a lot of people are intimidated and don't realize that fleshing out convos with friends will totally count.

Dean still wants/kind of secretly believes Sam can have that
I actually had that as part of my "Three facts that are true for a certain character" meme for Dean. I think he does a lot of the things he does with the hope that it means Sam, who is to Dean less messed up and more deserving of "normal," will get to have the white picket fence and 1.7 kids. Even if that's not what Sam actually wants anymore.

No, go right ahead! Meta definitely is a little intimidating. :D

I think a lot (if not most) of the boys' action are largely motivated by what they want for each other, and not necessarily what they want for themselves or what the other wants for himself (if that way of wording it makes any sense- like Dean is motivated by what he wants for Sam, and not by what Dean wants for Dean or what Sam wants for Sam).

It's part of what made season 4 so tragic. ;___;

Thanks bb! :D
