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!

In my brain he is but I don't think he is in the show. In my brain, Dean gets the cute domestic life he's always secretly wanted, but I know that's not going to happen. :(

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

That's an interesting distinction to make. And, I think, when it comes to non-canon for me, I'm torn on the matter. Part of me wants there to be a world in which Sam marries Jess and Dean marries whoever and they have their apple pie life. But another part of me- probably the larger part- hates that prospect. I love Sam and Dean because they're so epic.

[slartibartfast.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, me too. Their angst is a major part of the draw to the show, let's not be coy. Heheh. It would be very boring if they were in happy marital bliss (unless it was like Zoe and Wash on Firefly and they were all kicking arse together, oh my god I want a fic like that now). But yeah, on the show that's not how I'd like it to be at all.

Did you get a new layout? It's so pretty! ♥

Essays = DNW. I didn't even mind them before but now...ugh.

I never thought he was really Dean's son, not even in the episode. And, like you, I wouldn't like it if he was either. I know there was a small window left open for it but naah.

[ivynights.livejournal.com]

And I am still slightly bitter that it was never finished.
Me tooo. Especially after how much they went on about how SBP wouldn't be one of those projects that trailed off into oblivion.

Have you read this other S/R fic by Rave though? It's sooo good. http://community.livejournal.com/shacking_up/15433.html

[domina-malfoy.livejournal.com]

I'll admit I'd love it if Ben had been Dean's son but I don't think Lisa was lying about it. Then again, with Kripke, YOU NEVER KNOW. lol

Ohh, I'll be stalking this post to find out the answer to your ETA cause I'd like to know that too!

[http://users.livejournal.com/_amalthea/]

Not that I wouldn't love for Dean to have a son (he's so great with the kids even if he thinks he isn't), but I don't think Ben is his son. The way the mother said it made it clear that no, it isn't his. I think they just wanted to make Dean play with the idea for a moment..

[lady-eilthana.livejournal.com]

But it is really getting to the point where I feel like I can only write an essay if I am experiencing last minute panic.

Sounds veeery familiar. :(

So... I clicked "undecided" because I can't decide, obviously. Mostly I think Ben isn't (being a good daddy doesn't work if all you do is saving people, hunting things, the family business) but then it was really easy for Lisa to just say "no, he isn't your son". All there is is her word and that makes me doubt it. I'm afraid we'll never really know.

Essay writing - ew

And I don't think he is. I mean, I've read fic and stuff where he is. But. It doesn't work for me? I did however have a small glimmer of hope when I first saw the ep and was like OMG PLEASE LET IT BE HIS SON. Then I realised. Dean could never ever give up hunting (at least not then), it's who he is. And he'd never want to raise a kid, who's had a taste of normal, in that life.

Does any of that make sense? Like, at times I wish he was, but deep down, no I don't think he is and I don't want him to be. I also like to think that if/when Dean has a kid, he'd be there from the beginning.

[dugindeep.livejournal.com]

I really don't think he is. I know they pushed the whole 'just like Dean' thing, and it was comical and worked, but I am also a firm believer in nurture versus nature. It's obvious that Lisa has/had a type, and so it's likely she was into that kind of stuff. Likely that Ben picked up on it and was encouraged to like AC/DC and black shirts and talkin' all sly.

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

I can only write essays in last-minute panic, and I think it's AWESOME.

I'm going to vomit out like 8-bajillion R/S recs on you when I don't have an exam in two hours :D

[ahigheroctave.livejournal.com]

I'm a no in this one. To a certain degree, I want Dean to have his 'apple pie' life with the 2.5 kids and the beautiful wife and the white picket fence (although he is never, EVER allowed to trade the Impala in for a Volvo) because it would really make him happy, so long as Sam could share in his new life in some way. Maybe live next door with Jess and his 2.5 kids?

On the other hand, I never want them to get that. I think the point of the show is them being hunters, and even if they did try to quit, it would come back to hunt them.

And on the third hand, if Dean did get his secret dream life, I always kind of imagined it would be with Jo or someone else we've already met. And that would make me a lot happier.

[heartsonwings.livejournal.com]

Long essays suck! *hugs*

I've never really been sure about Dean being Ben's dad...I can't make up my mind lol

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Worked like a charm! Thank you so much.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

That is exactly what I wanted to hear. Good luck with your exam!

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

You really do never know. /o\

Also, the answer to the ETA can be found here

[lavendergaia]

I don't think he is, nor do I want him to be. I think Dean wanted him to be, but things like what kind of clothes he wears and music he likes really isn't genetic. I think Dean saw a little him with a good life, saw a good life he could have, and wanted it no matter if he was forcing it.

Plus, it would be really awkward to explain to a kid that "Daddy just likes Uncle Sam A LOT."

[mokusan.livejournal.com]

In canon? No. In my mind? Yes. I mean, their similarities are learned behaviors, so it doesn't especially make sense, but the two are so alike that I want Dean to be his father so bad. Plus I really like Ben's mom and thought she would be good for Dean, and I know Dean secretly wants the whole picket fence gig, and I feel like they'd be the perfect family to have that with.

[mnemosime.livejournal.com]

I have the same problem with writing essays -- I always tell myself that I'll start doing it with time so I won't have to rush, but it's not till I know I have to do it or else I get a big ol' zero that I do it, LOL.

And I'm gonna be checking this post for S/R recs, you just reminded me of how long it's been since I've read a fic about them <3

[oth-leyton-love.livejournal.com]

i totally thought i was the only one... but yeah no. i DNW ben to be dean's... like idk i just really don't want ben to be dean's and was SO happy that he's not in canon!

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

I thought I was the only one too! I'm kind of surprised by how many people don't think he's actually Dean's kid.

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Well, I have a 1000 words and most of my remaining paragraphs outlined and two and a half hours left.

*sighs*

*continues to work*

I am disappointed so far by the lack of recs, to be quite honest. But hopefully some more will pour in. I miss those two guys. ♥

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

That's because Sophie is a fierce bitch. ;D
