#this is entirely my fault for rewatching supernatural wilst being afflicted by tlt brainrot tbh

[ophiotartarus]

the untapped potential for supernatural / locked tomb au crossovers is gently smothering me in my sleep!!!!

i mean apart from the fact that point blank Dean and Gideon fulfill the same archetype in their respective stories, the mystery and gruesome magic of each world brings out a different kind of sandbox for the other to play in! like okay

an spn!au where emotionally unavailable himbo Gideon and reticent college dropout Harrow reconnect after a fraught childhood together to track down the demon that burned their town (Harrow's parents were infertile and made a deal with a crossroads demon that killed 200 people)

or Harrow is stuck living through different aus and has to figure out a way to stop the trickster god that's causing it

or ghosthunting worsties Ianthe and Gideon occasionally ask for information from a vindictive demon with her own agenda but both have been developing a crush on her it's getting kind of ridiculous AKA they call on Harrow at the same time and she has to stage an intervention

OR THE INVERSE!!

a cav!Dean necro!Sam au where they hunt the evil spirits that come up from the river to possess 8th house cavaliers

or lyctor!Castiel at caanan house falling for dean and telling him not to sacrifice himself to become something he deeply regrets – possibly playing the role of Cythrea here and killing multiple innocents to try and stop anyone from ascending but maybe he gains a little too much of a conscience in his short time there

or a BOE au where the brothers storm the mithraeum only to find out John (!!), the emperor undying, is their father... thinking specifically about of the soulless!Sam and Kiriona parallels !!!!

like there's been ghosthunting aus in the tlt tag but i cannot find one single sincere crossover on a03 and i need somebody fix this! the potential!! aaahhh!!!!
