gip gip gippity gip

Oh, haven't done a GIP in a while. Mostly just load the new icons up and go on quietly. But this...oh, yes. :) I've been waiting WEEKS to use this sucker.

I also just uploaded something like 24 icons I've gathered over, wow, *months* that I never got around to uploading. Amazing, the lengths I'll go to, to avoid actually working on a story. *rolls eyes*

Had a lovely chat with highwaywoman tonight, as well as pierson. msktrnanny, I got your email and I'll respond tomorrow. Hugs and thanks to everyone who left comments to me; I'll get to those tomorrow, too. I think I'm going to call it a night in a few minutes, because it's getting late and I'm sleepy.

500 miles of open road and nowhere to stop

I've just been re-reading veronamay's Nine Lives, Cat's Eyes (and crying over it, because it's sad, but not, and so gorgeous). It's Sam/Alec, future!fic (duh). Dean's gone, and Sam's...made a sort of peace with that, and himself.

And it got me thinking, about why I love the idea of Sam/Alec so much.

They are two of a kind, I think. They're both warriors, they've known personal and not-personal battle and losses. Unless some sort of miracle happens, Sam will lose Dean to the deal, so he'll be as alone as Alec is. Alec has friends, sure. But it's unlikely there would ever be a romance between him and Max, nor between him and Logan. Sam and Alec both need someone, even if they're not setting up house together. Someone to call when it's late and they're tired, but sleep is elusive. Someone to text when things are boring. Someone that the other knows cares about them, and will wonder what happened if they suddenly stop hearing from them.

I think this is probably the part where I say "I'm clearly a hopeless romantic; back away if that scares you".

If Sam can't have Dean -- and the only reason I could buy that is if Dean's dead -- then I want him to have Alec. And hell, I'm all for Sam/Dean/Alec...I think the three of them would be a good fit.

So, who out there knows of some Sam/Alec or Sam/Dean/Alec stories they want to steer me towards? (Or, y'know, write, because you love me and want me to be happy?)

Now I think I'll see if I can't stop crying, pull myself together, and get ready for bed. Because it's late, and I really need to get to sleep. Ugh.
