So I grabbed this meme from
hiza_chan who's already far ahead of me. I wanted to start days ago but I don't know what to answer for Day 02. I guess I'll solve that problem tomorrow.
Day 01 - What is your current favourite ship?
Dean/Castiel, no contest here.
If the amounts of flailing that accompanies every episode of SPN that I watch hasn't been any indication, then I don't know what is. I've been happy to watch 3 seasons without shipping anyone, more or less. Of course there were the canon ships that I mostly approved of - Sam/Jess, Sam/S3!Ruby, Dean/anything that moves... Sam/Dean actually does nothing for me. I don't hate the pairing, and I read a couple of really hilarious fics about them, but I didn't care much for the fandom.
And then Castiel came along. And he was just as epic as I'd been told. Maybe a bit more.
So I thought, it's perfect! See, I have realized that in 99% of cases my two favourite characters from any show make my favourite ship, or at least a ship I support - the only counter-example I can think of off the top of my head is ASOIAF, only because Petyr Baelish and Jon Snow have never met. But I digress.
The point is, Dean has been my favourite character for three seasons, Castiel barely beats him with his adorable puppy face, if you throw them together I'm reduced to one incoherent mass of squee.
Do I even have to explain why I love them so much? I mean, they are an emotionally constipated hunter with an emotional baggage bigger than the Titanic, and a trenchcoat-wearing angel who doesn't understand the concept of personal space. What's there not to love?
Castiel pulled Dean out of hell, and then defied heaven for him. And Dean acts grumpy all the time but melts as soon as Castiel says "please". (Okay so maybe he didn't melt. Maybe those were my slash goggles acting up. But inside, he melted a bit.)
I'm happy Dean isn't real. If he was, and could read crap like this, he'd probably shoot himself to end his sufferings. ANYWAY.
Anyway, they had me at "I'm the one who gripped you tight and raised you from perdition", pretty much.
I have only a handful fics bookmarked so far, since I'm waiting before I get started on the spoilerific ones, but Castiel's incapability at acting in any way like a normal human makes from some great fluff fics.
I especially like this one (where Dean and Cas drunk text Sam), this one (where Dean and Cas accidentally scare off Sam's new prospective girlfriend) and this one (Dean and Cas from Sam's POV). I see a recurring theme here. To my defence I say, Sam's annoyed face is funny.
