also i’m sorry but calling samwena a “pair the spares” ship is actually wild. he had a sexually charged hallucination about her. she flirts with him all the time; he’s always smiling around her. they went from enemies to best friends. they’re the only ones that understand each other’s lucifer trauma. they pretended to be fake married for a case. he was literally DESTINED TO KILL HER. and then she left all her stuff to him after he did. totally random pairing though amirite

Masterlist!
Most underappreciated fic? - Last Fair Deal Gone Down
Something you haven't written but would like to try? Why not? How can we help? - This year I hope to write some darker stuff including Major Character Death. Balancing making it emotionally affecting while avoiding being heavy-handed will be a challenge.

Most underappreciated fic? - That would probably be this dark(-ish) Nickifer fic: Blind Trust
Something you haven't written but would like to try? Why not? How can we help? -I've never written a case fic, which seems criminal in the SPN fandom! So far I'm not confident I could pull off the suspense aspect of the search for what monster is involved, and resolve the whole thing competently. Some suggestions on how to structure/plan a case fic would be appreciated.
@kazsrm67 -
Other SM names? - Same name on Discord
OTP? - I would have to go with Sam x Eileen I suppose.
Other fandoms? - Not much really although I occasionally read Stargate or NCIS fics.
Looking for in the Pond? - I was invited by a friend on Tumblr to be honest I'm super introverted and I can't really answer this. But I was told its a good way to "meet" other writers and get help when stuck on an idea.
Pairings you read? - I mostly read Dean x reader or Dean x OFC (this is what I mostly write as well), I do read some Sam fics and dabble in some poly fics but only with specific characters.
Genres you read? - I'll read all of these (angst, fluff, smut, crack) but I spend a lot of time between angst and smut fics. I do love a good soulmate au.
Favorite writer(s)? - So hard to pick a favorite but @spnexploration and @jawritter on Tumblr are two of my top writers.
What do you like to write? - I write a lot of soulmate fics, but I try to write many different types.
Masterlist!
Most underappreciated fic? - My Omega
Something you haven't written but would like to try? Why not? How can we help? - I have a rockstar!Dean fic in mind, it would be very angsty and discuss domestic violence against men, I haven't tried writing it yet mostly because time. I work full time and am a mom but it's definitely something I am looking at diving into sooner rather than later. I think the help I could use is someone to edit and bounce ideas off. I have a good friend I do this with but sometimes I wonder if it would help to have someone else to bounce ideas off (I get shy and don't reach out tho).
Tumblr media
That's all for this month, folks! (If we're missing anyone, let us know and we'll add them to next month's list!) Make sure to say hi to the newbies and make them feel welcome!

It's so interesting too, that in sundering themselves from their humble backgrounds, Crowley and Rowena mirror that which was inflicted on them, trying to become their oppressors (a Godstiel theme, if you care):
Tumblr media
In Hell, Crowley is a king who commands no respect and begets no real loyalty. He's become a classist bastard. Dark ages-mentality.
Along with Rowena, Crowley inflicts pain on the ones "beneath" him, trampling the rebellious demons, especially the ones that stand up for "equal pay for equal work."
///
And it's not exactly as Crowley tells Sam at the end of s10—a long con to "change" Hell for the better.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
That's a half-truth Crowley is using to make himself feel better.
A LOT of Crowley's behavior has been shown to be flagrant, for his own amusement to satisfy his own pain and loneliness. We got to see that all season long. Even before Rowena showed!
This line is intended to appeal to Sam and soothe Crowley's deeply wounded humanity. It's another version of "for the greater good."
Sam also uses things like this to pad his own wounded humanity.
///
In Girls, Girls, Girls, Crowley insists that "human trafficking is tacky," which is another form of padding to protect his pride. This helps Crowley look away from reality. He did the same, trafficking Dean to Cain, as Randy trafficked Claire to Randy in order to get a stronghold against his enemies/debt.
Most importantly, Crowley is looking away from the fact that his clients are all selling their souls, that his Hell-workers have already sold theirs.
But most importantly, he's looking away from the fact that he trafficked himself. That's how he got here. He, like Rowena, was dealt a horrible hand.
It's as in 10x21:
STYNES: There's always profit to be made from desperation.
///
And it's no accident that s10 dead-ends in themes of Frankenstein.
Crowley wanted to rule over Hell, but in Demon Dean, he wanted to patchwork someone together who could "see what he sees, feel what he feels."
It's Crowley's very own Nick the SIren, an immature combination of all things familiar, someone "just like me!"
And when Dean fled to Anne-Marie "humanity," Crowley was gob-smacked. Dean and Anne-Marie linger in the spectre of Daniel and Adina, Adhina resembling Anne-Marie AND Dean, wanting to go "somewhere else," and like Cain, "wanting to be left alone." (It's no wonder, then, that is is Crowley who kills Adina?)
Dean was supposed to be Crowley's perfect Hell-Queen, someone just like him. But Dean wasn't a queen. He wasn't a lot of things people wanted him to be.
Not what John wanted, not what God wanted.
Dean wasn't even a knight. As much as Cain pegged him for a mirror, as being "just like Cain himself," Dean didn't do ANYTHING Cain predicted because Cain, like Chuck, like the audience, has got Dean dead wrong.
Dean is Dean. He's not John. He's not Crowley, and he sure as Hell isn't Cain.
///
Note that in 10x21, a girl was killed and her EYES were taken.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This blindness mirrors Demon Dean. His "pretty black peepers." Crowley said to him, "See what I see, feel what I feel."
These themes swirl around the whole season because as Dean is reckoning with what Crowley did to him, Crowley is reckoning with his own life. What Rowena did to him.
But to Crowley, it seemed like Dean could be the answer, the balm to his boredom, to his lack of purpose and, like Amara being wounded by Chuck, a Holy tourniquet to that core wound left by Rowena.
As a human, Dean tries to reckon with how he was wronged, commanding more loyalty and respect in his world than Crowley does in his.
Crowley gets a lot of what he has through Mark of Cain!Dean's battle prowess against Abbadon. Dean's sacrifices are the foundation of his current kingdom and ability to succeed.
It's interesting, too that Sam's ability to go to college was, in some ways, was also enabled by Dean's sacrifices.
Even now, Sam gets a lot of friendship and love by-proxy... through Dean's pre-existing, strongly forged connections. Sam manipulates others via the loyalty Dean has earned, like a parasite or a vampire.
Sam's (and Rowena's and Crowley's) lack of social grace and inability to make friends stand in stark contrast to Dean. Sam, Rowena, and Crowley feel like outsiders, and they can't reckon with why. Even getting power and status doesn't seem to help them, and that frustrates them all!
SPN has plenty of other outsiders, sure, but even with Cas, people seem to follow him even when he doesn't want them to. People don't follow Sam, (and actually, it's even more complicated than that—he's afraid of leading).
In some ways, Dean and Mary and Cas and Jack, all characters with big hearts, seem effortlessly able to form these deep connections, and without a recipe for success, without a rulebook, with a list of "How to Win Friends and Influence."
(It doesn't save them from manipulation, of course, and certailny Cas and Dean are fresh off manipulation by Metatron and Crowley! But I don't think it's a stretch to say that Sam might not consider their pains over that, instead spiraling and hyperfocusing on his own failures.)
I think it's interesting.
///
But anyway, Crowley wants to be top dog, and it's a losing battle.
Crowley denigrates those who remain loyal to him, calling them stupid and useless, and one wonders if this is what Crowley heard daily after his mother left and he went into the workhouse.
It's not a good look for Crowley, and his behavior actually makes him a weaker king, not a stronger one. He becomes paranoid that their loyalty is cheap and that they'd betray him the first chance they get.
And well. He's right.
Interestingly, it's this that Sam senses in him—this that Sam hates. It's a self-hatred, too.
///
And the thing is, there's something to Rowena hating The Men of Letters and spitting on Sam and Dean as a "fuck you" to the upper class. Sam certainly ACTS like Men of Letters, using Rownea the way Ruby used Sam.
And spiraling outward.
So too does Sam spit on Crowley as emblematic of Hell, as emblematic of the thing that had tried to lure him in as a boy-king, a promise of power but with the harsh reality of only being needed for his parts (meat suit).
Sam beats on Crowley because he can't beat on Ruby, on Lucifer, on John. Because (and Sam's not exactly wrong!), "because Crowley has it coming."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(But it isn't all Crowley's fault! It's the system of Hell.)
VS
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(But it isn't all Metatron's fault. It's the system of Heaven.)
They're ALL in Hell, in one way or another. Climbing down off the rack to stick it to perfect scapegoats (monsters, demons, whatever) who has it coming.
Metatron and Crowley are also intrinsically linked. They both have extremely UGLY family wounds, and they're slowly falling towards their own humanity.
///
Preying on desperation:
You know the ruse: finding vulnerable people and preying on them by promising them either protection or something to protect their families.
Like Cas preyed on Jimmy, like Dean manipulated Kevin emotionally, like Metatron preyed on Cas, like Crowley dangled Dean in front of Cain then used him as a Hell-worker, like Randy swooped in on Claire, like Rowena is trying to prey on Crowley.
YET. Sam doesn't want to admit that he's done the same! He swooped in on Lester when he was at his lowest in order to manipulate him, like Sam's using Charlie's love for Dean to get her to go whole-hog into a dangerous mission.)
The backdrop of forgiveness:
Interesting then, that you have this whole backdrop of forgiveness: Claire forgiving Randy, Dean forgiving Crowley, Claire forgiving her mom, Cole forgiving Dean, Claire forgiving Cas.
Crowley laments that Rowena is a liar, and Dean calls him out about lying to him and setting him up to be the fall-boy with the Mark, "guess it runs in the family."
Cas laments that he can't put Claire in danger, and she calls him out, "Anything else, you mean."
But it's not THAT simple either! Even "virtuous, forgiving" characters like Dean and Claire are still spiraling down into hunting, and Cas is still eagerly sticking his knife into low-level demon-soldiers.
No one's hands are clean, not even those who symbolize forgiveness and change. It's so messy!
///
It's so interesting, then. How Sam and Rowena mirror each other more directly.
They can't seem to forgive anything. Because they can't bear, in all of their stalwart perfectionism, to really look at themselves.
Sam can't forgive Crowley. He can't forgive himself.
Sam goes through the motions of "a team effort" with Charlie and Cas, but like Rowena, like an angel, he trades more easily in the business of selective truths and manipulation.
And that's a big thing: Sam, Rowena, and Crowley are alike in this manner. They want people beside them to tend to their own wounds, all while ruling in fits of misguided ruthlessness and subterfuge to get people in positions where they can use them (as they themselves have been used).
Rowena can't forgive the entire world for being rigged.
Neither can Sam.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He couldn't be further than Claire Novak this season. But can we blame Sam? Let's step back for a sec and cut him some slack:
Tumblr media
Sarah Blake in season 8. That was like two seconds ago for Sam. She was killed right in front of Sam BY Crowley. To think this is ONLY about Dean oversimplifies Sam. (And yeah, Sam could've stood up to Crowley for Kevin Tran, but that doesn't change that Crowley tortured the Trans.)
That Sam hasn't forgotten this isn't unforgivable, per se. His need for vengeance shouldn't come as a surprise, and I don't think it should be simplified to "homophobia" either.
CROWLEY: Well, I think the people you save, they're how you justify your pathetic little lives. The alcoholism, the collateral damage, the pain you've caused – the one thing that allows you to sleep at night, the one thing is knowing that these folks are out there, still out there happy and healthy because of you, you great, big, bloody heroes! They're your life's work, and I'm going to rip it apart piece by piece because I can, because you can't stop me, and because when they're all gone, what will you have left?
///
It's another way that Rowena and Sam's plots are hopelessly intertwined.
Sam's hangups are about being squashed beneath the boot, but instead of finding another shoe, he's so afraid and so paranoid that he becomes the boot.
Dean and Cas are not immune to this. (Ahem, Godstiel.) And Kevin Tran is to Dean as Charlie is to Sam, perhaps. Miracle cure-Gadreel is a little bit like miracle-cure Book of the Damned, just on a smaller scale.
Sam tries to save his family not dissimilar to how his family saved him, by locking him up for detox, for doing "whatever it takes to save him."
But he's Sam, so it comes out... very Sam-like. On a big, destructive, and very CUNNING, pragmatic, and manipulative way. Like Rowena, Sam WILL tend to save his own skin this season, and with them both, there are "substitute sacrifices" involved.
Symbolically, Oskar is a substitute sacrifice for them both. (And before you get too into the idea of Dean being "immune," it's the way Jack will later, unfortunately, be allowed to be a "substitute sacrifice/bomb" - re Dean's: "Thank you, Jack. / For once he and Sam won't be the ones sacrificing etc etc war son stuff)
Tumblr media
But other characters' struggle with this theme of class doesn't seem as prolonged and ever-present as what we see in Sam, Rowena, and Crowley. Cas and Dean are, on the whole, more likely to be upset with systems and forgive the individuals caught up in it. (SEE: Cas even has mercy on Metatron in s12).
But still...
DEAN (s15): When things go bad, it just comes out.
The fear, the desperation, the need to be safe and keep others safe..
It just really sucks.
That was a lot of words to say that Sam, Rowena, and Crowley are fundamentally linked and it's so tasty.

Hello!! Happy Wincest Wednesday!! What are some tropes/themes/kinks/etc. that you'd be interested in writing for Sam/Dean but haven't gotten around to yet? Is there anything you enjoy reading but aren't sure you'd ever really be interested in writing yourself?
hello grace! the happiest of wincest wednesdays to you and yours
there are a few things I've got kicking around that I've always wanted to write! some notes
witchly sam. like, a late seasons witchly sam? this might overlap with my desire to write a samwena fic AND/OR my desire to write a wincest threesome fic. who's to say!
wincest threesome fic, with a canon character. unclear who. maybe jack, cause I'm a fucking pervert
I've never gone a good old fashioned fuck or die/magic made them do it, despite my deep abiding love for them as a reader. has always been on the books
for things I like reading but can't or don't write: dark stuff, tbh! I feel like my fic is very... poppy. likeable and inoffensive. pleasant. I like reading fucked up dark shit, but I don't think I have it in me as a person to write it, it's just not where I go narratively for whatever reason. It's not that I don't want to or wouldn't, I just don't come up with dark ideas

76 for broken road please!!
76. Did you have any ideas that didn’t make the final cut of [Fanfic Name]? 
actually, most of what i wanted got into broken road! i'm really happy about that. there were only a few things i didn't quite have room for:
john & mary resolution. i left it pretty ambiguous so everyone could imagine their own ending, because i just couldn't decide what felt right. but it feels like a little bit of a cop-out, you know? ultimately though it was just out of the scope of this fic
and speaking of things out of the scope of this fic...since it's a fix-it fic, i was sad that i couldn't bring back eileen. they fridged her for absolutely NO reason whatsoever and i'm mad about it. like, yes, samwena is great and fun, but i like them equally as friends, and i LOVED sam and eileen...but it would have required SO much more work (and words!) to make it feel earned and this fic is already over the 100k limit
similarly, i would have liked to include pov from mary and sam, and go deeper into their issues with each other. it's a four-person family! john got time with sam, mary, and dean, and dean got time with sam, mary, and john, but by virtue of excluding these two povs they didn't get much meaningful stuff hashed out between themselves. again, this was due to size and scope. it would have been another 50k at least, maybe even another 100k. additionally, the bad guy of this story - michael - doesn't tie into their stories as well as he does with dean & john, so whatever work i did with them would not have had the climax that dean and john had. if anything, there needs to be some kind of roleswap broken road fic where we do the same thing with mary and sam but they're playing whack-a-mole with lucifer instead and eileen is the love interest that survives despite all odds. i'm never going to write it, so this is an open invitation, lol.
believe it or not, there was originally a scene where dean taught jack to play pool. in the original version of this fic, which was gen and not dean/cas (i thought i didn't have room, but after nov 5...), they left the bunker a lot more. (actually, by the end of writing it, i was a little frustrated with how little they seemed to need to leave it for all the melodrama to happen! i wish i could have varied my scenery more.) so, prior to the sex scene in ch3, when dean confides in cas about his complex feelings about john - this originally happened at a bar, or some other place with pool tables - maybe there was a pool table in the bunker, lol. dean would teach jack a few things about pool and talk to him about john. (this ultimately became the conversation they had during the hatchet man movies.) sam, mary, cas, and john would come in, and cas would jerk his head at dean so they could talk semi-privately at the bar or in the corner to tell dean how the mission went. john would move to teach jack how to hold a pool stick, cas would become alarmed, and dean would stop him from interfering. john would play Good Dad and teach jack a couple of tricks without doing anything horrible (i think at this point he either didn't know what jack was or was less bothered by it), and dean and cas would both relax. and then dean would go on to say the same things he said in ch3 about john being good to him, just...without the sex. that all got moved around - due to the urgency of dean's situation, which was necessary to build tension, we didn't have time for as many quiet moments like this. i replaced pool with hatchet man because it was necessary for dean to be restrained, and i love the hatchet man episode, and also because john going "we all do bad things sometimes" was in my opinion unequivocally hilarious. after i decided to do dean/cas after all, i instantly pictured this conversation moving to the car - you absolutely cannot have their first time be anywhere else - and that was that. history and memes were made.
thank you for asking actually!! that was so much more than i realized i still had in my brain, lol. i'm really happy that people still think about broken road so often after the fact, it makes me warm and fuzzy.

I have to say that one of the parts of Three Princes that haunts me is the repeated line of Castiel being exactly where me needs to be, always. Real sink gripper for me, it just hits so very hard in its accuracy. Maybe I'm wrong about my following identification (it's been around a year since I read the fic, but it was pretty notable for me and I consider it a favorite), but that being an underlying theme is so beautiful. It stuck for me, for some reason, and I find it very special.
Thank you.
; __ ; aw gosh. thank you so much!!
You're remembering correctly!
Thematically, that's all entwined; Three Princes (Dean, Cas, Sam) being in reference to the Three Princes of Serendip, the origin of the word 'serendipitous,' all out in search for something specific, but finding something else fateful instead, mostly through happy accidents. Cas explains the word serendipity, and its origin, all in the same scene that he says, in particular to John, that he's always where he's meant to be, precisely when he is meant to be there, and he knows this because he has such profound faith.
Cas only says it maybe twice in the fic, but I definitely meant for it to echo like that, to be absorbed through him saying it, but also all the other characters personifying the same idea of a middle place between chance and fate; Dean thinks this about himself in his own sort of way too, having a stray thought later on in the story about how he was meant to meet Cas the night he did, or he'd not have survived another night of his life, that Cas came to him right when he was needed, when Dean was ready and cracked open enough to be receptive to that extreme of a change, in himself, and in his life, and Sam thinks of this too, considering himself destiny-bound to Rowena the second he lays eyes on her, but only having met her by chance.
Cas being that beacon of faith in the divine through Three Princes is i think why the theme sticks so hard w him. It's all over the place in that fic, but he's faith in the divine, personified.
He does a lot of talking about destiny, and faith, and divine plans outside his knowing or understanding, and how this is by chance (the coal strike leading him to be aboard Titanic at all), but also predestined (talking about G-d presenting him with signs that he's following the correct path, sending him 'gifts,' such as the honor of seeing Dean so up close, etc) - i loved writing these themes.
Serendipity is woven all throughout Three Princes, but it's sort of a blunt weapon when Cas says it
anyway thank u sdjklhfdksjhf im so glad u enjoyed it and also so flattered it stuck w you in such a meaningful way!!
