Supernatural Fanfic: Sisterhood (gen)

  • Apr. 6th, 2008 at 3:10 PM
Decameron Initial S
Disclaimer: They aren't my characters, but I'm not making the slightest bit of money off this. So: No harm, no foul.
Characters: Dean, Sam
Spoilers: none
Rating: G (all audiences)
Story notes: gen, slightly less than 2,000 words. Mild crack. Something odd is going on with Dean - Sam suspects the Viking.

Betaed by [info]solo____ , who probably shouldn't have encouraged me. *g* Thank you very much!


Sisterhood

It was the Viking who started it. Sam didn't realize it at the time, but looking back, it was definitely the Viking.

The first inkling that something was off hit Sam much later, though – right about the time that Dean charged into the middle of a conjuring circle, unceremoniously smashed the vessel (a big vase with a garish floral design), and then lectured the assembled Zisa-worshipping witches on how this was all down to "women getting stupid notions into their head because of emancipation and stuff".

Conjuring up an ancient spirit of war and destruction was definitely a stupid notion, no argument there. But Sam didn't really get where "emancipation and stuff" came in. Judging by Dean's rambling speech, his brother didn't, either, so after they'd dealt with the witches Sam held Dean down, poured some holy water down his throat, and checked for bumps on the skull, suspicious bruises, or other clues.

Everything seemed okay, though (except for Sam's breathing, but that was normal when you'd just caught an elbow to the stomach and were being mock-throttled by your brother).


Feedback of all types - positive and negative - is much appreciated!

This is terrific, and Dean's suddenly explicit devotion to the patriarchy and equally sincere anti-porn conversion are nearly as fabulous as Joe the Viking and hir sudden problem with the height of doors. And? It was just a lot of fun, and exactly the kind of fic I was in the mood for, after the angst of Season 3.

Dean will definitely go that extra mile in the pursuit of a worthy goal... And since he just isn't built to be a true patriarch, all that research can't help but take its toll. *g*

Joe the Viking and hir sudden problem with the height of doors

If it happened to me, I would *always* be running into things - a month just isn't long enough to get used to everything around you suddenly being smaller.

Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm very glad you enjoyed the story. :-)

I didn't mean to be quite this long about posting it - time just got away from me. ;-)

Glad you still like it, even after time for deliberation. *g*

This was quite entertaining! Great narrative voice throughout.

Favorite lines:

"I don't think so," said Ma Magic, speaking slowly and with a distinct hint of morbid fascination wound through her tone.

I love her reaction to him.

"Sure is pretty, though," the evil witch went on consolingly. "Who wants a smart man anyway."

ROTFLOL!

"So – taken it for a test drive yet?"

ROTFLOL again!

For a second, Sam thought Dean would take a bow, but he contented himself with beaming confidently at the staring women. Sam suppressed the urge to clap.

*snickers* Great image.

The girl who'd been nursing her beer behind Dean did a double-take and scooted a little closer.

*g* She’s like, “Score! I’ve hit the jackpot!”

Ooh, thank you very much for your lovely feedback! :-)

I love her reaction to him.

Dean should be flattered! Ma Magic is an evil witch heading an international magical artifacts smuggling ring - and yet she hasn't ever encountered something quite like him before. *g*

*g* She’s like, “Score! I’ve hit the jackpot!”

She certainly is! Pretty *and* emancipated - not about to let that one get away.

I have an abiding love for genderswitch stories... and while there are already very many excellent ones out and about in this fandom, I thought there might be room for another one with a slightly different approach. *g*

your story is hilarious
and its fun to read one where dean actually wants to play with another gender, not feels like its a horrible curse...

Re: your story is hilarious
Hell *yes*, Dean is going to enjoy the heck out of it! Just imagine all the possibilities. ;-)

Though to be fair, his gleeful enjoyment of womanhood has a lot to do with the certainty that the change is temporary - I suspect under different circumstances there'd be a good bit more angsting, though I'm certain he wouldn't pass up the enjoyable bits under any circumstances imaginable. *g*

Thank you for letting me know you enjoyed the story! :-)

That would be one of the first things Dean thinks of!! LMAO, I love how he can take Sam down even as a babbling, squeeing girl! Great fic!

Dean is astonished at the notion that it might actually *not* be the first thing on anyone's mind. People are just plain weird. Take Jo, for instance. Is she out and about, enjoying some variety and exploring how the other half lives? No, she's hanging out with her mom and brooding into her beer. And a twenty says Sam would do the exact same thing! Seriously, what is *up* with these guys?

I love how he can take Sam down even as a babbling, squeeing girl!

*g* He had an unfair advantage - he snuck up from behind! But, yeah. ;-)

Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the story!

This may be one of my favourite genderswaps ever. As [info]catdancerz says, it's good to see someone enjoy it for once.

That's wonderful to hear - I'm very glad you enjoyed the story so much!

I think Dean would *love* being a woman, provided it was clear from the outset that it was temporary. Think of all the new things to try... And dude - he can totally bag hot lesbians now! Definitely a huge plus. *g*

Thank you for letting me know you liked it. :-)

Dean gets to have lesbian sex now! SCORE!

I almost want to see the first time he hits on a girl. Oh poor Sammy, he's going to be getting a lot of exercise from boltingleaving.

I absolutely adored that little bit about Dean's speech wanting to make Sam clap. Good thing the boy didn't otherwise the witches might've made him into a girl too. Oh man, what if they'd turned Sam but not Dean? He would've flipped!!

Thank you for this. :O)

FINALLY! And just when he thought he'd have to pack it in, too... this is going to be a hell of a month. *g*

They'll definitely be heading for a big city next, where Dean can hang out in lesbian bars and clubs and practise his pick-up lines. Sam will just have to cope. Seriously, he's a big boy, and it's not like he doesn't watch lesbian porn (oh yes, Dean did notice, and from now on they're taking rooms without porn channels), so there's no call for acting like such a missish prude.

Oh man, what if they'd turned Sam but not Dean? He would've flipped!!

That's a horrible possibility that thankfully never occured to Dean. That curse would have been just as wasted on Sam as it was on Jo! He never even hits on chicks when he's *himself*!

Thank you very much for letting me know you enjoyed the story! :-)

Dean would ::so:: enjoy being a girl. For all of, oh, a month or so ;)

And Jo as a guy I found hilarious, mostly 'cause I really don't like her.
[info]rheasilvia wrote:
Apr. 12th, 2008 11:05 pm (UTC)
He absolutely would! If it weren't clear from the outset that he'd turn back in four weeks or so, things might be different, but a month? Hoooh yeah. ;-)

Glad you liked the story - and Joe the Viking!

Okay I think I snorted coffee when I was reading about Joe the Viking. :)
This was very original and very well written. I'd quote some of my favorite parts, but I don't know where to start. Definitely, Dean's enthusiasm when he finally becomes a woman was spot on. Dean, oh Dean!

Good crack!

Thank you very much for your lovely feedback! Humor is a difficult thing for me to write, so it's wonderful to hear that the story made you snort coffee. :-)

Dean, oh Dean!

He just doesn't get why people are so *uptight* and *weird* about this kind of thing. Come on - you get to take the other model out for a spin, rev the engine good and proper and even change the oil and check the spark plugs! What's not to like about that?

... Sammy? Dean was just talking about *spark plugs*, for heaven's sake! Come back here!

*Ahem.*

Anyway. Glad you liked! :-)

There probably won't be more - this was a kind of cracky one-off. :-) I'm very glad you enjoyed it, though - thank you for letting me know!

Yes, Dean finds the idea of the things he can do with such a curse highly awesome, and definitely reason for enthusiasm. *g* Sam's just an old fuddy-duddy, like Jo. Seriously, some people just don't know how to cut loose and have fun...

Love your icon. :-)
