Okay, well, Castiel only had one of the most ridiculously amazing intros of all time, (I must've watched it 20 times or so immediately after the episode aired), so I'm actually with you on having shipped that instantaneously, too, hahaha! But! That still doesn't usually happen to me! XD
Yeeeahh, the growing tendency in media toward meta commentary on ~bromance~ and the tacit acknowledgement both that it sells and we'll play with it but never legitimize it gets to me sometimes. It makes me uncomfortable on SPN (it doesn't help that I have a massive embarrassment squick, and those eps are kind of all about being embarrassing for fangirls), and that's definitely part of why I love Charles and Erik so hard. Utterly organic is right. I never shipped Xavier/Magneto before First Class, myself, so all the convincing happened in that movie. It was so natural.
Hahaha, I'm usually one of those curtain!fic people (ducks tomatoes!). Well. Sort of; epic plots that incorporate angst and drama and character and adventure and humor and then end happily are my favorites. Rip my heart out all you like and I'll thank you for it, but I can only take so much of it without the characters I love getting to be happy, too. >.>a And ffff, yes: so many fics that have me BAWLING by the end because it's so TRAGIC and UNFAIR and OMGCAN'TTHEYJUSTBETOGETHER?!!? -- just the other day I was reading through a whole batch of fic by amazing authors and I had to save the last few for another day because, though I knew they were going to be really quality fic, it was just like unrelenting heartbreak and I couldn't take it. ;A;
