Remix of Snuffleupagus, by the author of Cartography in Empty Spaces. She's one of my favorite SPN authors, actually.
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

I'd call it more of a fixit fic than a remix but it was great nonetheless.

what constitutes a remix?

Same events retold from a different point of view?
So I assumed Matt found it in Plei's gen recs.
This, actually. I missed it in Amy's earlier recs, possibly because I didn't remember it by name until I randomly happened across it in Plei's and had the "Oh, THAT'S that great creepy story" reaction.

Remix varies. It can be taking one point or event from a story and spinning a story off at a tangent. POV of the story from a minor character, or a story of a character who touched the original story only peripherally, for example, a before-work argument between a couple, and the woman works at the diner and serves breakfast to Sam and Dean. I think for SPN it's often a story told from Sam's point of view retold from Dean's, or vice-versa. This actually did fit the criteria, though it's undoubtedly a fixit fic as well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure I've also read remixes that didn't jibe entirely on plot points with the originals, as if they took the same premise and went different directions with them.

Season 5, Round 2, Bracket #1/2:
Dean: Team Free Will.One ex-blood junkie, one drop out with 6 bucks to his name, and Mr. Comatose over there. Awesome. 9:4
vs
Castiel's voicemail: You have reached the voice mail of [Castiel: I don’t understand. Why do you want me to say my name?] 7:6*****************
Crowley: Where's your moose? 9:4
vs
SAM: I saw your eyes. You were totally rockin' the "yes" back there. So, what changed your mind?DEAN: Honestly? The damnedest thing. I mean, the world's ending. The walls are coming down on us, and I look over to you and all I can think about is, "this stupid son of a bitch brought me here." I just didn't want to let you down. 9:4
*****************
Chuck: Three days later another car rolled off that same line. No one gave two craps about her, but they should’ve. Because this 1967 Chevrolet Impala would turn out to be the most important car... no, the most important object in pretty much the whole universe. 13:0
vs
Dean: Word to the wise--don’t piss off the nerd angels. 8:5*****************
Dean: Sammy? Sammy? It's okay, I'm here. I'm not going to leave you.

Castiel: (Into cell phone) This isn't funny Dean, the voice says I'm almost out of minutes!

Season 5, Round 2, Bracket #2/2:
Chuck: So what’s it all add up to? Well, it’s hard to say. But me, I’d say it was a test. For Sam and Dean. And I think they did alright. Up against good, evil, angels, devils, destiny, and God himself - They made their own choice. They chose family. And well, isn’t that kinda the whole point? 7:6
vs
Castiel: I found a liquor store.Sam: And?
Castiel: And I drank it! 10:3
*****************
Dean: No, I am not a fan. Okay? Not fans! In fact, I think that the Dean and Sam story sucks! It is not fun, it’s not entertaining, it’s a river of crap that would send most people howling to the nuthouse! So you listen to me. Their pain is not for your amusement! I mean, you think they enjoy being treated like circus freaks?
Demian: I'm not sure you get what the story's about.
Dean: That so?
Demian: In real life, he sells stereo equipment. I fix copiers. Our lives suck. But Sam and Dean. To wake up every morning and save the world. To have a brother who would die for you. Well, who wouldn't want that? 10:3
vs
Dean: Cas, not for nothing, but the last person who looked at me like that...I got laid. 11:2*****************
Ellen: I said go. And Dean? Kick it in the ass. Don't miss. 11:2
vs
Castiel: Hey assbutt! 7:6*****************
Dean: All those angels, all those demons, all those sons of bitches, they just don't get it, do they Sammy?
Sam: No they don't, Dean.
Dean: You see, Brady, we're the ones you should be afraid of. 9:4
vs
Dean: Then I ain't going to let him die alone. 13:0

...all my words have been taken by my work. - Mala
Yeah, my remix definition was limited to what Matt described, a pov change. I am better educated now.
S5, R2, B1
- Team Free Will - funny Cas is funny but doomed Dean is doom-y
- Rockin' the yes - boys!
- 1967 Impala - Impala!
- I'm not going to leave you - EVER
S5, R2, B2
- Family - over drunk Cas
- I got laid - oh yeah!
- Kick it in the ass - the meta is a valid reason to choose this quote despite the awesome assbut delivery
- Ain't going to let him die alone - Dean will always be there for Sammy
