Aw, the five times one is cute. Sam is a bit more obstuse than he should be, yeah, but it was well done enough for me to buy it.

Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?
[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Did anyone else watch the fireworks with "Knocking on Heaven's Door" playing in their head?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I found this fic through a rec post dotfic is hosting over on LJ. It's a Supernatural/Twin Peaks crossover that melds the feel of the two series very nicely.

I was crawling through back issues of spn newsletter on lj, still trying to track down that one fic that I mentioned earlier, when I came across another hustler!Dean story. Although since it was actually a case where he's being blackmailed into an exchange of services for services rather than an ongoing money-making enterprise, I'm not sure if it meets the definition. But just in case: Where A Man Can Be King by scribblinlenore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It certainly implies a Dean that's traded before.
What's a revenant? Is it a blanket term, or is it a specific beastie we've never seen before? It comes up as something they test for, along with shapeshifter when someone comes back, but we've never seen them ID anything as a revenant. Does it just mean ghost or zombie?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I thought the Witnesses were revenants. Really amped-up, high-powered revenants. I could be wrong on that.
Parts of the soul retrieved from beyond, I believe, by an agent, and animated and given purpose by that agent. Not the entire personality.
Wiki says I'm partly right.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I've always heard the term used in reference to someone who doesn't rest in peace for whatever reason (usually revenge for wrongs done) and who comes crawling out of their grave.

But they don't use the term revenant in that episode, right? I didn't see it in the transcript. They only seem to use it when they test to see if someone is really who they're supposed to be.

I think I only ever heard Bobby use it when Dean comes back in Lazarus Rising.
Matt's interpretation is closest to what I've heard, or assumed. It's a sort of zombie or ghost who comes back for a reason, usually a nasty one.

Hey! I'm watching Hollywood Babylon, and when Sam is arguing with the writer about the script, he mentions "Enochian summoning rituals". S. and I both looked up at once -- I never noticed that before!
