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!
A year and a half ago, I could have eviscerated him with my thoughts. Now I can barely hurt his feelings. Things used to be so much simpler.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
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.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
This puts me very in mind of Torchwood's faerie episode.
Which was VERY CREEPY. I say, having just watched it last night.

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.

The Wendigo isn't strictly Western mythology either.
I suppose they could always go the Inca Mummy Girl route if they want to deal with an unexplored classic monster. I'd like to see them deal with Native American folklore like lake monsters and the Cherokee Raven Mockers. Or maybe the Mothman and the Hook for Anglo urban legends.
I could do without a lot of demons next season, and would be quite happy if they avoided angel drama altogether apart from Castiel.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, god, Peanut Butter Pumpkin Wedding Cake. I had some issues with that one (you're right about the mistaken identity stretch out), but I did go back and read all the "moments" more than once. They were great. And nice Sam, too. Didn't like the ending, though. It was kinda weird (Castiel's declaration was a bit creepy). But the journey was fun.
I will have to check out Twins Stick Together when I get home.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
While they've done a lot with witches, has the show done anything with shamans? Howabout dryads and naiads? Also, I wonder how they'd update the Sampo story.

Because books.
Druids would be fun! If there are any still practicing, that is.
They should totally go to Stonehenge, though! And Dean can say it was built by robots!

I know I've read at least one fanfic where they come across a man keeping his wife by hiding her skin, but damned if I can remember where.
