I love Henriksen! A while back I too went on a tear, looking for fic about him (I've only seen one video about him and haven't watched it yet, though I think I bookmarked it). Any recs? If you haven't seen them, supernaturalwiki has a cluster of Henriksen fic recs here (http://www.supernaturalwiki.com/index.php?title=Minor_Characters_in_Fandom#Special_Agent_Victor_Henriksen_.28multiple.29) - I know I've looked at all of them before, and as I recall at least some are worth reading. I don't know how far you've gotten into SCC, but in case you haven't run into this story yet, here's a sharp little crossover with Henriksen and SCC's Ellison: 'Unofficial Channels.' (http://vee-fic.livejournal.com/52597.html?format=light) Oh, Ellison... right up there with Sarah with respect to my favorite SCC characters. Great, very distinctive charactive voices. Author's notes...
Spoilers: Supernatural through 3.12, SCC season finale. Rating: G Wordcount: 839 What is it: a telephone conversation in the style of Manuel Puig. Tagline: They say "bizarre" I say "suspicious."
I hadn't read the author commentary for 'Paper Weight' but now I have! It is good; thanks for pointing it out.
I just watched 'Low Red Moon' again (for, I guess, the fourteenth time??) after reading your comment, and that is a tricky rhythm, sure. I thought it matched well with e.g. the flashing headlights, the flickering motel lights, the tap of a pen, quirky movement to the beats; however, I fully admit to swoony reaction to Tanya Donelly and the song helping trigger my usual love for cruel demon women. I like Katie Cassidy with her smirks and snark - the latter of which I kind of missed with Genevieve Cortese - despite the melodramatic, over-acted edge SPN makes all its demons put on. I found Cortese kind of bland, but then I also liked the plot choices for Ruby in S4 even less than in S3. On the other hand, Cortese has nice biceps? (Incidentally, I tried the Melrose Place remake for Cassidy and Stephanie Jacobsen, my beloved Jesse from SCC... I gave up on MP due to embarrassment squick, but I did sort of enjoy Cassidy's character before the stupid factor got too high for all the cast's characters. I am old enough to remember watching the original show, though not very clearly! I have also been watching FlashForward, which I have to say is incredibly mediocre and the only reason I continue with it is John Cho, who has the winning combination of best acting in the FF cast and least stupid writing for his character. Cortese has a recurring role on the show as an alcoholic amputee vet, hiding from a military contractor company that wants her dead due to something she witnessed in Iraq. Unfortunately, I find the delivery of her lines really unconvincing and even less suited to this role.)
A tangent (that isn't really a tangent at all) - here's another story by the same author, 'Cold Case.' (http://vee-fic.livejournal.com/40697.html) Thoroughly gen. Smart, sharp, funny, chilling; sadder, more compassionate and thoughtful - but also, oddly enough, more hopeful in important ways - than the show. Excerpt: The way their bodies overlap in the narrow bed, the cold space of her and the fabric of her clothing against his bare skin, and he can't help but pick up the shakes from her.
Rating: PG for disturbingness Spoilers: AHBL2 Wordcount: about 7200 What is it: The woman Dean Winchester sleeps with every night. Tagline: There is no woman.
