SOMEONE MAKE ME WRITE CAS/ANNA INCESTUOUS HUNTERS HUMAN!AU
I've seen of Merlin 3x01 and TVD 2x01. I don't have enough feelings to make a whole reaction post, but feel free to engage me in comments about it. As is the usual biz these days, my feelings have been hijacked by this other dude, what's his name. I think it's Cass?
I kinda wanna write Cas/Anna pseudo-gen episode tags like there's no tomorrow, but I am lazy, so I will just idea-dump. Maybe this will become fic when it grows up.
- Dean&Cas is actually just Cas&Anna in disguise. 4x22, "There is a right and there is a wrong here, and you know it," Dean says, and Anael said those words once too. Before she fell, she had challenged him. As friends, they debated and discussed, and they kept each other's questions safe from those too ready to call it blasphemy. Cas didn't fall with her then, but her words and her conviction stayed with him, and he'll fall for her now. For her, for Dean, for himself. Anna and Dean are Castiel's gadflies. In a way, Castiel has been waiting for this moment for years. Never fear to do the right thing. So Cas cuts into Jimmy Novak's arm, and finally, finally, does the right thing. Here's to a second chance.
Also, also, when Cas said to Dean, "We've been through much together, you and I." <-- EXACTLY WHAT CAS TOLD ANNA.
- 4x01, Castiel and Alastair duke it out in Hell over Dean. In 4x16, when Alastair said, "I wish I knew how to kill you," he was continuing a previous conversation. ("You don't know what to do with humanity; your kind never did," Alastair said to Castiel, back in Hell. "But here, he is well taken care of. I know Dean Winchester - his viscera and his sins - and all you know of him is the shape of him in your Father's plans.")
Come to think of it, where is the pre-4x16 fic where Cas is setting Alastair up in the trap, and Alastair is taunting him? ("This is what Dean Winchester does to you!" Alastair hoots, half-mad. "You roll him over like a dog, tell him to sit, tell him to fetch, but one day... One day you find yourself caught in a damn devil's trap. One day you find yourself demoted! How delightful!") Cas knocks him unconscious. Alastair was just projecting anyway. (DOTH PROTEST.)
- Speaking of finding oneself demoted, let's go back to 4x15. Dean's arguing about the deaths in the town they just saved, and Cas is being pig-headed about it. "You made an exception for me," Dean insists, as per show dialogue. And Cas replies, "You're different." Next in fic, Uriel makes a big deal about it, because he totally knows Cas's weaknesses and tendencies.
U: Different how?
C: He's the Righteous Man.
U: [Is totally like, "I KNOW WHAT YOU DID, post-4x10, talking with Dean Winchester about how runaway siblings are hard. ~Bonding and shit. He's opening your doorways to doubt. I heard you having feelings. I know you miss our sister. But she is fallen, Castiel, and almost as abominable as Sam Winchester."]
C: She is still our sister.
U: oic.
C: [DEMOTED!]
So yeah, if there are D/C sexytimes, they happen post-4x10. And Cas's doorway to doubt was opened long before he met Dean, by Anna. Dean's got a foot in the door though. XD
- Pre-4x09. When Anna starts wiretapping angel radio, Castiel recognizes the interference right away, recognizes it immediately for his sister. They are in the Philippine cordillera, where a seal has just been saved. At the burst of static, all the angels look up. Blood-spattered, sword in hand, they all look up, listening.
When Anael fell, the angels did a sweep of the universe for her, and Cas was relieved that they didn't find her. Not that he didn't look for her thoroughly. He's a guy who does his job after all. But he was also relieved that she is better than him. She always has been. Anael had prepared well before she fell, had put all the necessary wards in place. That was all Castiel could have asked for, were he to ask for anything at all.
- 4x10! In the moment Anna gets her grace back, Castiel cannot look away from the brightness of his sister. Here she is. Seeing grace enter her is like seeing her fall in reverse. Either way she is leaving him, again, and he won't let himself look away. you, the one i used to know, the one i no longer know, the one i found, the one i lost, the one i'll lose again.
By the time the light fades, and by the time the humans can open their eyes, Anna is gone. For a few seconds Cas just gives himself over to his vessel, breathing in and out, breathing deep. Loss and numbness translated by the human body into this coldness in his chest, weight in his belly.
- Okay, now 4x18! Which is also a set-up for 5x03.
4x18 Dean to Cas, 5x03 Cas to Dean: I need your help, because you're the only one who'll help me.
Dean prays, and Cas has no idea what he can give him, but he comes anyway. Cas is already on a slippery slope here, his door to doubt quite ajar, so it doesn't take suuupermuch to get him to sidestep prophecy for Dean, for his own conscience, for the right thing to do. And even as Cas feels the words coming out of his mouth, he still can't quite believe that Dean can change it, that anyone can change anything. Destiny, after all. This is the will of God, no matter how Righteous of a Man Dean is.
From a distance, Castiel watches in horrified fascination as Raphael descends upon the Toreador Motel. Destiny rewritten. And then Raphael raises his head, lifts his long gaze to the world, and sees Castiel. RUH-ROH.
- 4x20! I would have more wild conjecture on 4x20, but I guess I'll wait until 6x03. Fiiiiiine.
Post-4x20, Sam: Your angel doesn't seem to come around much anymore.
Dean: He's not my angel.
(DOTH PROTEST.)
And at some point, not sure when, Sam and Cas have some sort of exchange about faith.
I'm resisting just taking scenes from the show and rewriting them with an explication of ~feeeeeelings attached, because I don't usually like it when writers do that. But GODDAMN, SUCH FEELINGS. Maybe it's not that I don't have feelings for Merlin or vampires, but it's that I don't love them in the same soul-destroying way as I love THESE GUYS.
Wyrm, the next paragraph is a little bit spoilery for S6, jsyk.
So, I anticipate shipping Dean/Cas in S6 the same way I ship Cas/Anna now. They may have a history, but they're TOO LOYAL AND PRINCIPLED (for the most part) for their loyalty and principle to be trumped by anything, including each other, no matter how much they've been through together. And that's what they respect/understand about each other, no matter how frustrating they find it too.

How, how did I never interpret "doorway to doubt" as a euphemism for "butt hole" before this.
no subject
no subject
Lass, I think there's something wrong with me. I have no trouble idly considering, or even perhaps haikuing, other Cas-ships. I enjoy the exercise and consider it healthy for everyone. I really do support Castiel getting some of everyone and thing the universe has to offer. There is a lot of Cas to go around. But then it comes to writing or reading about it, and I uh. Suddenly instead of any of that, I'm writing D/C college AU and reading about them getting married by secret angel rules. I'm working on it, I swear. I'm seeking professional help.
ADVENTURES, however. EPIC ADVENTURES is something I have no trouble with. I propose this one for the fic you need to write:
Pre-4x09. When Anna starts wiretapping angel radio, Castiel recognizes the interference right away, recognizes it immediately for his sister. They are in the Philippine cordillera, where a seal has just been saved. At the burst of static, all the angels look up. Blood-spattered, sword in hand, they all look up, listening.

But he was also relieved that she is better than him. She always has been. Anael had prepared well before she fell, had put all the necessary wards in place. That was all Castiel could have asked for, were he to ask for anything at all.
no subject
I AM TELLING YOU, what is it about this fandom and its ability to make us CRAZILY OTP? Sometimes I think I'm getting into these other ships as a defense mechanism, or else D/C (OR WHAT I THINK D/C IS (OR WHAT PPL THINK D/C IS)) will eat me aliiiiiive. LITTLE BIT OF A BREATHER, from the ship that dragged me kicking and screaming into this goddamn show. But even when I'm vacationing with Sam/Cas, sometimes I pine for the glory days of Dean/Cas? Sometimes I think I should be *HANDS* and just sail aboard the good ship Becky/Misha forever and be done with it. You enjoy your fledgling fic, but I think RPF crossovers needs more exploration. Jared/Becky. Dean/Misha. Harley/Bones.
no subject
BUT OMG I DON'T EVEN KNOW. Most of the time I think I can pull off acting normal about the whole thing. Like lolol yeah guys, I read a lot of D/C but ships are CRAAAZY I'm not one of those CRAAAZY people. Then I find myself watching episodes and softly chanting "just make out. just make out. just make out."
Haru has totally sold me on Dean/Misha, however.
Harley/Bones.
I hate you.
no subject
Do you hate me as much as Bones loves Jensen?

HOW ABOUT THAT CUT
where Cas is about to stab Jesse, and then the knife comes down, and he's putting down the shot glass in 5x10. fjkdlsfjsd
no subject
I had to thread-hop, because HELLO, is this a fic? Do you have a link? Because, hello!
Also, D/C college AU FTW! If you need a beta, or just want me to drool all over your story as I get deliriously drunk on it's awesomeness, I am volunteering.
no subject
OMGGGGG it is going so slowlyyy because I guess it needs a plot or something? When it acquires a plot I might hit you up for betaing though, because, wow, I have no idea what I'm doing.
no subject
UH, THIS. Is like, the entirety of my post-4.10 squee. Because everything that Cas longs to say to Anna, he can say to Dean, or Dean says to him. I can't decide if it's Cas/Dean/Anna or Cas/Anna/Dean, really. The former if we're talking about like, ~deep emotional discussion~, but the latter if it's actual sexytimes. I think. I don't even know, they just bleed into each other so much. But Cas feels himself begin to fall for Dean, but all he can think about is his memory of Anna's fall, the similarities and the differences, the reasons.
Um, so, I would like all of these ideas to become fic when they grow up, just so you know. Especially...well, all of them, yeah. XD
no subject
FSJFKLDJFKL:DJ:SJFDS fffffff
She was his superior, also, and I think it took a while for Cas to take Anael's ribbing seriously. They're both the type to question, it seems. The difference seems to be that Anael embraces the cynicism and questioning, but Cas didn't like it overmuch because it's scary and might mean he gets disowned by the fam. It's a long road to independence, isn't it, Cas.
I think it's Cas/Anna/Dean at first, but then it blurs, then the Dean&Cas ship finds legs to stand on. "I did all of it for you," Cas may have said, and maybe so, but there is also a part of it that is equating Dean with a second chance, with what he couldn't be for Anael, with his own guilt.
no subject
YES. SO MUCH YES.
And also it's only through interaction with Dean, I think, that Cas learns to feel guilty about not having been more for Anael.
no subject
no subject
no subject
Haha, yes, he can waffle for such a long time. "SHOULD I? SHOULD I NOT? ALAS." And Uriel would just be like, "Shut up and smite."
no subject
no subject
no subject
Haha! Every time you mentioned Cas' doorway, my mind went straight to the gutter. GUTTER, I tell you.
Maybe it's not that I don't have feelings for Merlin or vampires, but it's that I don't love them in the same soul-destroying way as I love THESE GUYS.
SIGH. I feel you bb, I feel you.
I encourage your Cas&Anna shenanigans. I am intrigued.
So, I anticipate shipping Dean/Cas in S6 the same way I ship Cas/Anna now. They may have a history, but they're TOO LOYAL AND PRINCIPLED (for the most part) for their loyalty and principle to be trumped by anything, including each other, no matter how much they've been through together. And that's what they respect/understand about each other, no matter how frustrating they find it too.
NGL, you made me cry a little.
no subject
I have for a few months been wanting to write Cas/Anna humans AU where they're incestuous hunters, and Dean and Sam are the angels. (Diniel and Samaqiel?) ngl, it's gonna be some pretty self-indulgent shenanigans and I can't wait until I actually feel like writing it.
Here, we can share the Kleenex. ;____;
no subject
BUT BUT ALSO FUCKING ALaSTAIR. But here, he is well taken care of. I know Dean Winchester - his viscera and his sins
slsflksfdljsfdla and taunting Cas but Alastair was just projecting anyway. aaaaahhhhhhh omg them fighting over dean aaahhhh!!
also this whole thing:
In the moment Anna gets her grace back, Castiel cannot look away from the brightness of his sister. Here she is. Seeing grace enter her is like seeing her fall in reverse. Either way she is leaving him, again, and he won't let himself look away. you, the one i used to know, the one i no longer know, the one i found, the one i lost, the one i'll lose again.
:OOOO :DDDDDD :((((((( <3333333333
fall in reverse! ANNA DON'T LEAVE. poor, poor cas. Okay, yeah, you write that anna-and-cas-are-incestuous-hunters AU!!
I do not have much insight into Cas and Sam's hypothetical conversation about faith (which may or may not happen when Dean runs away and they go to find him! ee!), but can I just say I really, really, really, really like that bit in Restore from Saved Draft where Cas says that Sam doesn't believe he can be saved anymore, he just wants to save everyone else. (Lol, I feel like a regular old Becky, I pretty much am SAMSAMSAM all the time.) Maybe it's about self-sacrifice, then. Not the selfish kind but the unselfish kind, the kind that knows it won't be able to enjoy what its sacrifice wins. And then God steps in?
no subject
I am trying to! I can't tell if I want S1 shenanigans, or early S4 so we can throw Diniel and Samaqiel in there too. Diniel gets all up in Cas's space then hits on Anna, while Samaqiel facepalms in the background. Or maybe I should jump straight to the 5x04 episode XD. So, this makes Dean/Anna the Sassy?
So many things happened post-5x17, ficcers should really get on that XD. Hahaaa, I hope the Supernatural books continue getting published in S6 so Cas becomes part of the canon, and then a Casgirl comes along and I can ship Casgirl/Becky XD.
no subject
GUH. This is why I love family even, because even though they're love, they're so much of the time fighting and pushing each others' buttons and very intimate, consciously or unconsciously.
But this also makes a good case for creepy demon torture love. Very I made you. Very possessive. Very digging-in and staking-claim and I-know-you-better-than-you-know-yourself.
CASGIRL/BECKY. HEE :DDDD
no subject
no subject
YES. And he reveals a lot of truths about Dean to Dean, which is also conflated with the lies that demons naturally spin, but there is enough of a truth to it for Dean to consider swallowing. The Dean that got raised from perdition, how much of that guy is Alastair's creature?
Me and Wyrm think S6 should see the Supernatural books being turned into a movie. :))))))
no subject
HAHAHA YES. omg who would they cast as sam and dean XDDD Some Fabio clone. Tom Welling and Michael Rosenbaum. WHO KNOWS! And then the fandom divide! What if the movie hired hot dudes to get the female audience and it turned out having a fandom demographic like show? What would the movie get wrong? aahahaha this is wonderful!
