Here’s a Buzzfeed article about the finale that Chrisha and Catherine both found helpful: https://www.buzzfeed.com/deirdre-t/supernaturalas-legacy-the-trauma-of-silence-1b17yhc5ye?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bfsharetwitterTwo “fix-it” fics Chrisha and Catherine found helpful are:“Carry On” by Castielslostwings https://archiveofourown.org/works/27648386“Being and Having” by tricia_16 https://archiveofourown.org/works/27678379PS: Catherine here. I say at one point that the CW is generally progressive. We recorded this before I realized just how much hurt the CW has inflicted to other audiences this year, including Riverdale and The 100. I have been so saddened and upset to learn all of this.
