[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.
I would also like to see them deal with some non-western creatures at some point
They did, a bit, right? The demon at Cold Oak was non-western.
Jamaican folklore would rock. Iffen I had the chops, I'd write them up against a rolling calf or other duppies.
I did read a fic, I'm now remembering, where Dean had a kid with a kitsune. That was...weird.
They didn't identify the changelings as part of the fae,
Do Imisremember? I thought there was a queen. Hmm now I don't remember whether or not she was a Faerie queen. At any rate definitely from faerie legends...
She was just the main beast, Typo. They never mention that changelings are faerie lore (although in Western folklore they're not strictly faerie, either), and they never call her the "queen" in the episode.
A selkie could be good and heartbreaking, but it's not really vicious at all.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few more not-evil supernatural creatures like that for just that reason - it could be heartbreaking if done well.
Okay, if you like AU D/C romcom (WTF? But I'm addicted, it seems): Boys Helping Boys. I found it very charming. And it doesn't even hie to most of my vocal Castiel-related AU rules.

This puts me very in mind of Torchwood's faerie episode.
I agree, Anne -- if they stumble across something while looking for another case, and realize a man has imprisoned his wife on land by hiding her skin, Dean and Sam would definitely step in.
And then heartbreak and angst all around!
Ohhh, I'd love a good selkie story!
And, every time I hear the word selkie, I think of the scene in Rob Roy, and Jessica Lang's sleepy, "I dreamed a selkie came..." being wakened by an amorous Liam Neeson.
Mmmm, selkie.
This puts me very in mind of Torchwood's faerie episode.
Which was VERY CREEPY. I say, having just watched it last night.
Boys Helping Boys
Oh god, the visual of Dean with foil in his hair was priceless.
Okay, you want romcom? I got romcom: "Twins Stick Together" [link] which is short (maybe even a bit rushed, I didn't want it to resolve as quickly as it did) and doesn't overextend the mistaken identity too far and Castiel is cute as hell, and "Peanut Butter Pumpkin Wedding Cake" [link] which is longer, hotter, and though it takes the mistaken identity cliche far around the bend, there's a nice cap to it.
