For those who didn't know already, Birthright, a Faculty fanfic written by baylorsr and oselle is back on the net after an absence of more than a year, two years? And it's back with extra, never-been-seen-before chapters as well! Well, at least not by me.

I had a great time re-reading it, and heck, I'm now even more convinced than ever that Casey and Zeke are in love with each other. Not just "love each other", but actually in love with each other, despite Oselle insisting that the story is gen.

I've always thought there's something more than platonic, brotherly love between them, especially when Zeke kissed Casey in Christmas, Minnesota. Oh God, that's my favourite chapter ever, so bittersweet and it tuggedtuggedtugged at my heart strings. Then these new chapters - Tummy, Casey's upset because he thought that Zeke was neglecting him. And in Hot, the way Casey's plastered to Zeke's back, while in bed. Nope, not platonic. At all. Paradise sort of sealed it for me, the way Casey was thinking of Zeke when he was with the street hooker. And I died, died, I tell you, with what Zeke did in Real Estate

I had this little discussion with tempest_415 a little while back, and while I do agree that Zeke would never, ever, take advantage of a sick, mentally damaged Casey, there's nothing to say that he's not in love with Casey, though he probably didn't realize it himself. As for Casey, I'd say he's definitely in love with Zeke, but like Zeke, he probably didn't realize it either.

I like to think that they did find each other, after Montana, after Casey's healed and they started with their alien-chasing job. What do you think?

( A poll )

Re-reading the whole story, I'm itching, itching to read a Birthright/SPN crossover, preferably when Casey was still sick and they were on the run, staying at one rundown place after another, just like the Winchester brothers. Zeke and Dean meeting at a bar somewhere, hustling pool, eh oselle? *POKES*

And speaking of crossovers, God, I would LOVE to read a 'Faith' AU where dying!Dean goes to Casey from Family instead of to La Grange *nudges mews1945 gently*. Or the Winchesters helping Elijah from The Woodjin verse to hunt down the Red Devil *pokes lbilover, hard*. Or Casey from Winding Road meeting Sam at Stanford, yep, Ellen, bet you're sorry you chose Stanford heheh, and yeah, Sam went to Stanford right after high school - Casey missing Zeke, Sam missing Dean, both of them miserable, finding comfort in each other, though not *that* way of course. Zeke, for one, wouldn't approve. They could even be room-mates!

But you know what my dream crossover is? Teen!Sam and teen!Dean meeting Casey and Zeke at Herrington High. Sam and Dean went from one school to another, so why not make them go to the same school as Casey and Zeke? Two nerds and two bad-asses, the Impala and the GTO. Wouldn't that be super, super AWESOME? Hmmm, I wonder who could write it, other than the 4 authors above. Let me see, vshendria, montmorency, kashmir1, i_o_r_h_a_e_l, maybe elenya54 or sophinisba? wynterhawk?

:DD

scatttered has updated her Faculty's 'Added Charm : Pet Lab'.

*inserts major squeee*

It's here, the 4th chapter of the first part.

And Aina, I've only just realized that your other LJ-name comes with three T's. I've been wondering why I kept getting this journal of somebody called Molly!
