brainofckI got The Losers for Christmas. Best $6 gift (2012 dollars!) I have ever gotten. This is a fun movie with a fantastic cast and a lot of issues. The script has moments of genius and moments of pure idiocy. Honestly, I recommend it for the positives, while admitting this is not Oscar material or anything. Chris Evans. Idris Elba. Jeffry Dean Morgan.
Then, wandered over togreen_grrl's recs for it, and whoa, doggy, found
Team Dynamics, Family, and Other Things That Will Hurt You
This is EPIC Cougar/Jensen UST.
I spent almost the entire day in my pajamas reading it. 97k. You will probably cry at some points reading it, so beware those who load stuff up on their e-readers for public transportation entertainment.
I have to say, this is high quality writing, and because of the way it is structured, might even hold up independent of any knowledge of the source material. Just a story about a guy, his unrequited love, and his unit.
ETA: Hey look, I found you guys a Losers guide! I didn't actually read it all, but it looked good. Pictures and everything. A little discussion of ships, too, though did not read yet. Going to bed.

You have been warned.
