Celebrating #SPN300: Season 7, "Death's Door"

How much do you love Bobby Singer?

Speaking for this idjit, it's a whole damn lot.

Thinking about the nature of fatherhood throughout the show, and facing Bobby's last (well, "last" for Supernatural is never last) chapter, how fitting it is that Season 7's "Death's Door" all comes back to the relationships between fathers and sons.

In the most stunning and moving way possible, as Dick Roman's bullet eats away at Bobby's brain, we find out the story of Bobby's own father -- how that experience shaped his entire future, and what it meant as he watched the Winchesters grow up.
"As fate would have it, I adopted two boys. And they grew up great. They grew up heroes." 

To me, it's a "masterpiece" episode... one of my very favorites that I've honored with that designation, as was "The Man Who Would Be King" in my Season 6 post.

What are your favorite moments from Season 7? Let us know in the comments below.

    I can handle "Death's Door" until Bobby starts talking about his "boys." I lose it every time.


    For one of my favorite season 7 moments, I have one word--er, name--for you: CHARLIE BRADBURY. Lovable from the second we meet her, and only more impressive when she bravely teams up with Sam and Dean to get Dick. (Oh, come on. It's season 7! The joke had to be made!)

      Sweet mother of Chuck YES.

      Horrifying how every single thing they counted on was taken away from them... Bobby's house, their very identities... Baby, then Bobby himself... I LOVE SEASON 7!

Surprise A Supernatural story by Lara  @Larrs9325 The first entry in the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Lara responded to the prompt: "Christmas in the bunker." I think you'll enjoy these sweet scenes! -- Jennie “Shh!” she admonishes the artificial Christmas tree as she drags its box down the corridor. It is a little after midnight, the wee hours of December 24th.  She’s seen quite a few late nights this month. Turns out, it’s nearly impossible to be sneaky while living with two dudes and a nephilim who barely sleep and an angel who doesn’t sleep at all.  But she’s good.   In recent weeks, she went on a handful of outings to a local 24-hour store to obtain supplies and stashed ’em in a cobweb-infested storage room without anyone being the wiser.  Finally, it’s time for her schemes to pay off. Her boys are getting a real Christmas this year. She heaves the box all the way to the back of the Bunker’s library and...

Normal Sucks A Supernatural story by Mich  @raiahome You've read Mich's  Tales from Baby ... now check out her second #SPNWishList masterpiece! Mich responded to the prompt: "Baby breaks down, from her POV."  In which Dean is pro-poutine. And anti-Canadian bacon. As I've said many times, no one speaks for this cranky old steel broad like Mich does. Enjoy. -- Jennie Baby tried to decide if she’d ever been more miserable in her life. Sure, she’d been possessed, T-boned by a semi, flipped on her roof by a demon cloud, and crashed through a big sign, but that was all part of the job. She was saving people and hunting things, so there was a certain satisfaction in it. Then there were the many months she spent hiding in a barn when those Leviathan dicks were hunting Sam and Dean. It had been necessary… and boring as hell. But she had attained a comforting level of zen at the time, so… silver lining, right? But this? This was just pathetic. First th...

Savor A Supernatural story by Celina  @redbanshee Our latest entry in the #SPNWishList fic and art challenge! Celina responded to the prompt: "Someone has a birthday." In my opinion, Celina absolutely nails every characterization... Cas fairly leaps off the page. I was so excited to share it. Enjoy! -- Jennie Sam tucks the last of the Christmas decorations into the box unironically marked “Christmas Crap” in Dean’s neat script.  It’s the mistletoe Dean had hung in the kitchen doorway, trying to trick Sam into kissing Eileen (or the other way around) -- unsuccessfully, to Dean’s chagrin (and, Sam realizes with a pang, to his own). Folding the box flaps over and tucking the last flap under the first, Sam lifts the box with a grunt and carries it to the storeroom. Kneeling, he slides the box back into its place on the shelves. His eyes drift to the box next to it, apparently unmarked. Curiosity prompts him to pull the box out; he finds his own handwrit...
