Hmmm. As you know, I've spent quite a lot of time reading SPN & J2 stuff, and LOTS of it is so ooc it makes my head spin. But. When it's a good writer, I can believe a heck of a lot, even if the core characterization is different than what I tend to think of it as. That goes even more so for AUs--in my opinion, believability in those is all about writing skill. And that, my dear, you have by the truckload. So, though I can't vouch for all of your AUs, due to my prolonged Smallville fic hiatus, I can say that in every story by you I've ever read your characterization has made sense to me, and has not made me roll my eyes and wonder what crackpipe you were smoking--unlike many other authors I've read recently.
Oh, p.s., in reference to our conversation a while back about J2 authors turning TW and MR into total jerks: there's a recent bigbang story, "The Wall," where TW has a fairly sizeable role, and while it looks initially like he's being written like a jerk, I think you would really like the resolution. Also it's a very sweet and romantic story. (Though if you have limited time, I'd read "Any Road will get you there," which is just an adorably sweet J2 epistolary romance, complete with hilarious LOLcats--and all the CW supporting cast are completely nice and not evil).
Edited because I can, actually, speak English. When I pay attention, anyway.
