I actually do remember vaguely why we were talking. It was over at spn_roundtable, and we were discussing our head canons or something. Anyway, as great as "Choosing My Confessions" is, it's probably not something I'd have chosen to remix, both because of the length and because I'd never written Sam/Cas or Sam/Dean before. Hell, I'd never written Sam before. It was all D/C or gen that focused on Cas or Dean.
Sam/Cas had never even really occurred to me as a pairing, but I shipped it by the time I was done writing. I think it's probably impossible for me to write a story that long and emotional about a pairing and not end up shipping it at least a little. And really, I've come to realize I ship it mostly in the context of that verse. I feel rather sentimental about the idea of those two ultimately ending up together and coming to realize they're happy with what they've got, even though the whole point is they're not 'in love' exactly. Maybe that's what appeals to me.
I've written a couple of other slashy Sassy stories--"Still Raining, Still Dreaming," and one other that's super cracky, fluffy porn--but mostly when I throw those two together they just want to be friends. Although that's a problem with my slash in general. I didn't plan out a reverse bang that involved Sam, Cas, and Kevin all drawing on each other's chests just so it could be gen, but it turned out that way. I can mostly only write sex in established relationship fic. When I try to write first time fic they generally just stand around and angst over unrelated issues.
It's too bad you didn't find anything you connected with--I thought I saw some early season, John-centric stuff, but I can't remember whose it was. Anyway, I had real life obligations and didn't finish my remix in time to post it for the challenge, but I still mean to put it up when I finish it in a couple of days.
