Random fannish conversations and sharing head-canons is such a lovely feeling.

Or, specifically, commenting on a rather lovely Dean/Cas story (Let the Right One In) and then talking about Dean's reactions to movies and what his true guilty pleasure would be:

Dean has probably also watched some really bad made for TV horror films just because Dr Sexy appeared in it.

The embarrassing thing isn't the bad horror films. Those he can sort of laugh off as a "What Not To Do 101" or "This Is How Stupid People Die" (or Dean's personal favourite, "This is why I carry a silver knife / salt / iron crowbar etc in my trunk").

The really embarrassing guilty pleasure was totally the old made-for-TV Danielle Steele knock-off romance movie complete with 90s hair and not great acting. That he only watched for Dr Sexy. And totally did not tear up when the girl got caught in a car-crash, and every one was sitting around the bedside, and Dr Sexy's character took hold of her hand and promised that he wasn't going anywhere while dramatic music swelled in the background. (Nope. Didn't happen. Dean was drinking beers and hustling pool and probably picking up a one night stand the night that got shown on crappy motel cable.)

I am a sucker for a good misunderstanding story, but the trick is keeping it believable. There are some assumptions you jump to that are actually very hard to disprove without asking outright and this gets it right. (I say this as someone who has worked in an office and had a casual nodding/chatting acquaintance with people and then realised that there's no polite way to ask for someone's name six months later.)

I loved Dean in this -- how hard he's trying for his family, how much he loves Sam, how deeply he falls for people and how his own sense of self-preservation just really isn't there -- he's such a good guy. And Cas is formal and earnest and quietly funny. He's a little odd, definitely different from anyone else Dean knows, but he's so attractive when seen through Dean's eyes. It's a sweet little AU and just lovely.
