I'll have to check that out. I don't think I've read 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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, I'm a sucker for cryptic foreshadowing! Now I wanna know what's up with the soooooouls.
Tessa! Yay!

I just (finally) watched The Last Unicorn. Now I don't wanna read the fusion fic, dammit.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My wild speculation...
Dean will be given the choice to go back to "All Hell Breaks Loose" and not make the crossroads deal .

Laga, I can just see it now:
Dean doesn't bring Sam back from the dead and goes back to Lisa and Ben. The interwebs explode in a horrifying mass vitriolic venom directed at show creators. Fan outrage aside, from a narrative perspective, I can see how that might be satisfying. Then again, why not Mary who opts not to save John? I can see it now, the boys just disappear "poof".

I haven't thought that far ahead yet. But there was so much stress on The Natural Order of Things. On the other hand, that kind of meddling with fate ges back to Mary at least.

Somehow, for a million reasons, I can't see that happening. But I don't find it narratively satisfying either.

Because books.
It also goes back to Faith. I don't think there's an easy reset button in this universe, and I don't think for a minute the writers want to get rid of Castiel or other newer characters, either.

I personally wouldn't either. It just read to me as tying a neat narrative bow on their theme this year.
For the most part, I do agree, I see it as a very unlikely scenario.
