Demonic possession with John involved makes me want to run screaming. I can't even get through it. Which is weird, if you know the stuff I've written.

[foo] is delicious! will never not be funny to me.

I'm just a big fan of possessed or evil Sam. Being Very Very Bad.

A bit of both, for me. She doesn't touch on the bits where I think Show fails, like in sexing up the female victims in a way they don't do the males (yeah, horror trope, but over it), but for the instances she brings up, and the agency of the female characters created, I agree with her a fair amount.

This. I think the discussion in the comments is the best part.

I *love* that story.

I wonder if there's an explicit reason we've never seen possessed!Dean. I mean, beyond the hallucination in Dream A Little Dream of Me. I've seen a lot of TWOPpers speculate he's immune to possession and horseman influence and point to him overcoming Lust in The Magnificent Seven.

It's just another thing I'd like to see Ackles do.

It may be, post S3, to emphasise that the evil things he did, he did as a human, even though we only see the very slightest iceberg-tip of that in On The Head Of A Pin.

HowEVER, Evil!Sam is a gift. Hoo boy. Whether he's possessed or hopped up or Lucifer's meatsuit, JP knocks it out of the park--in very different ways. Mmm, mmm, good.

Is that what Perkins linked to (can't look right now) or something else?

Oh no, "[foo] is delicious!" is a story, not what Perkins linked to. Perkins linked to sublime silliness.

Evil!Sam, in fic anyway, has been taken so far over the edge, most of it's not even remotely in character, or what would be in character if Sam went darkside. For me, anyway.

It is odd that Dean has never been possessed. Although you could count shapeshifter!Dean if you wanted to, I guess. Just as an example of JA playing evil.

I think we need the link to that story, Aims.

WHEEEE

God, YES. I've been going through the pinkraygun recaps recently (she's pretty fun, except she doesn't like Bobby or Castiel. But she likes Sam and Dean and the crew a whole lot) and just relived Skin.

That opening scene of shifter!Dean is so damned delicious. Mmmhmm.

We must be reading different Evil or Possessed Sam fic, then. But I'm really picky about cake. Except for those times when I'm not, but those don't count, and I didn't click the bad tag, I didn't! Honest! *cough*

"[foo] is delicious!"

I don't read a lot of evil!Sam anymore. But for awhile it seemed like all I ever saw was evil!Sam with Dean as his "consort" (aka sex slave, often unwilling), and it just ... seemed like an opportunity for people to write really filthy, incorrect D/s and paste Sam and Dean's faces in.

I did like what paxlux was doing with her Howl!verse, where Sam gets Dean out of hell, and they both go mad, until it got sort of all the same.
