Happy thoughts (and recs) on a Monday morning

[caranfindel]

I had a couple of conversations about the royal baby this weekend, and it was SO HARD not to say "And she was born on Sam Winchester's birthday!!!" My Tumblr and LJ have been full of Sam Winchester, for obvious reasons. I haven't had a chance to look at much of it but some time in the next couple of days I'm going to sit down and scroll until my eyes bleed. And it will be marvelous.

I'm way, way behind on LJ but I've managed to read a few things. I keep saying I'm not a slash fan (and I keep saying "I keep saying I'm not a slash fan") but over the past few days I've read three truly marvelous slashy fics that I can't not recommend, probably because they're from three of the best writers out there - less than 3333 by kalliel, Come Sail Away by indiachick, and Goodbye Stranger by frozen_delight. If you're like me and you shy away from "slashy slash" (as frozen_delight so aptly put it) but you like beautiful thinky lyrical writing that just might happen to have some subtle sexytimes or unrequited feeeeels, you must read these.

And for those in Other Fandoms, May the fourth be with you. But since everything comes back to Supernatural...

Thank you for the rec, love! :)

Obviously you have your priorities straight.

I'm British and, beyond wishing mother and baby good health, I really dont give a crap

I'm an Anglophile so I'm interested, but she's not the most interesting person born that day. :-)

Thanks for the kind rec, sweetheart! <3

Tumblr's been full of delicious birthday posts for Sam, I enjoyed them a lot!

As for the birth of the lovely Charlotte Elizabeth Diana, I can't help but be a little envious knowing that if I ever have a baby there's no way I'll ever look that good a couple of hours afterwards. :)

All you need is a team of stylists!

I've had this EXACT conversation with my (fellow geeky) friends today, but I can admit things like this to them without them falling about laughing!

He he - I totally thought the same thing when the news came out about Princess Charlotte! I'm sure Dean will enjoy teasing Sam about it, I mean there will definitely be some Princess Sam jokes, right?
