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

But that was a Mary that no one knew was a hunter, and managed to stay out of the hunting life.

If you keep her alive, you don't have to make those same assumptions--you know more than Dean did. And she could either fail or reconsider keeping them civilians.

There's a dozen ways it could go. But if we stayed on the trajectory of a hunter!Mary who'd given up the life, Sam and Dean grow up differently, and don't have that codependent bond. Sure, other things could be invented to happen along the way to recreate that relationship: John dying and Mary raising the boys as hunters, John and Mary divorcing, something trying to kill Mary and the fam on the move to avoid more attacks. Etc... But an apple pie Mary and Dean and Sam being the same to each other? I don't see it.

The key its why did Mary live, and did her parents (and all that knowledge entailed) survive, for me. There are quasi isolationist hunter families that can come out of those variables for me.

The fuck, scaramouche? Will I enjoy pretty much anything you do with my pairing?

Though, she writes Sam/Kevin, and that freaks me out. I...no, no size kink of mine will make that okay. Sam is way too old and too big (yet Cas is not too old...don't ask...) and no....

This is great:

“You have the flu. Your immune system isn’t fighting it correctly. If you’re not careful, it will turn into ammonia."

One of the many jewels of another really bad D/C fic, guest-starring Jo Harvelle as an abusive date raper that none of the main characters seem to be able to break up with.

Also:

Castiel reeked into the toilet.

Because books.

When fic writers turn Dean into Deanna, how do you pronounce the name: deen-a or dee-anna?

I have a (shit...had...she's dead...I just bummed myself out...) cousin Deanne pronounced dee-anne. So I've been assuming the analogue. How was his grandmother's name pronounced?

I can't remember. I'd have to watch that episode again.

Deanna doesn't look like dee-na to me, because I know people who've spelled it Deena, I guess. I see that a and I want to make it dee-anna.

If there's one n, I read Dean-a, if there's two, I read De-anna. I think Grams was DeaNNa.

Dee-anna.
