you know, I’ve learned that you really shouldn’t knock prompts until you’ve tried them

or rather, you shouldn’t knock fics based on their quick summaries

because some stories have the most unusual previews:

• BERLIN, 1930. Castiel is a foreigner in a city of foreigners. In the midst of a sea of wantonly available boys, Dean is the unavailable enigma. AU.
• IN WHICH DEAN’S THE EX-PORNSTAR turned bartender, Castiel is the rich weirdo dressed like Columbo, and Sam’s the big fancy Lawyer who brought them together by accident. AU.
• DEAN TRIES TO HELP Sam get laid with the help of a pretty unusual prop; he inadvertently turns Cas on to the magic of Massive Attack and Apple products.
• CASTIEL KNOWS about how gladiators can win their freedom by winning 100 fights, so Castiel has decided to operate under the assumption that if Dean has 100 orgasms, he might let Castiel go. AU.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? THOSE END UP BEING THE BEST THINGS EVER so

I think I’m gonna read that snowboarding AU now
