*cries silently in the corner about Inias*

*joins in crying about Inias* 

I wish Inias showed up in more things for sure. He was one of the handful of angels that really didn’t buy the heaven lines. I would have loved to see more of him. 

I’m personally a huge fan of Sam/Benny, like their personalities are just hella compatible.

Sam/Benny! Yes! Now there’s a ship that’s really underappreciated! 

I feel like not only to Sam and Benny have similar personalities (which is part of the reason I think they didn’t get along tbh) they also have similar struggles. I mean, think about it – Sam and Benny had/have an issue with blood drinking. They’re both “addicted” to it for lack of a better term and I think they could really bond over that. In an AU it might be neat to see them bonding over their recovery from addictions. 

But Sam and Benny are both pretty gentle and self-sacrificing but they’re still willing to fight. They’re characters I’d love to see really get along and learn more about each other for sure. 

Fave het ships: Megstiel, Dean/Abaddon, and Dean/Claire or Sam/Claire. Claire with either of the boys is definitely the most underappreciated though. I could see it working so fucking well for angst and guilt. Dean/Abaddon is dark and deliciously fucked up. Megstiel is pretty versitle imo although I admit I have no time for proxy fics where Megstiel isn’t the final pairing.

Sam/Claire and Dean/Claire totally have the potential to be angst factories. If you’re into age gaps I think there’s a lot there to work with, especially when taking into account Claire’s issues with trust. I think those could be a lot of fun to work with. 

Abaddean. Oh, Abaddean how I love you. Like, I adore the idea of Demon!Dean and Abaddon just totally ruining everything and making life terrible for everyone b/c that’s a dark timeline I wish was explored more. It would be such wicked fun. BUT I also kinda like the idea of an AU where Abaddon is kind of a shark you know? Like if she were a high powered prosecutor or senator or CEO and Dean were her husband who everyone assumed as just a pretty face but was actually just as clever and slippery as she was. 

Megstiel. I cry. Totally a versatile ship. You could do enemies to lovers, childhood bffs, friends with benefits, fluff, darkfic, basically anything you could ever want. It really saddens me that so much of megstiel winds up as proxy fic b/c they’re so much fun together and the ship needs more love. 

I think Sam and Balthazar would make a good pairing

I haven’t thought about this ship nearly enough to be honest, but I really like the idea of it. 

I think Sam would be able to see through some of Balthazar’s prickly exterior and they’d find they have more in common than they would have thought. Sam always has faith in the ability of people (and non-humans) to do the right thing and I think Balthazar has lost a little of that but Sam could probably help him see that there are things to believe in. I think Sam could play off Balthazar in a fun way, too. Balthazar tends to be sarcastic, but Sam can be just as snarky sometimes and I think it might catch Balth off guard sometimes.

Yeah, I can totally see it. 

And how about femslash in general? It’s almost always in the background of a much bigger slash ship and that makes me sad. Some faves: Anna/Ruby, Abaddon/Meg, Meg/Ruby, Claire + basically anyone.

Oh yeah, dude. I’m always irritated by femslash not really being it’s own thing. (As I know you know.) 

Have you been going through my ao3 because I’ve written three out of four of those lol. I love these ships. Anna/Ruby is great because it’s that whole opposites attract thing. Abaddon/Meg is a ton of fun to think about if you really like darker femslash. Meg/Ruby is my personal fave b/c I always headcanon that they knew about each other and probably would have been working together at some point. And Claire/anyone? Uhm, yes? Love it. 

I love femslash a lot.

CHARLIE AND SAM FROM SPN OWURALJSKFJIWRLFJS

YES! Charlie is amazing. She’s a total geek and unapologetic fan of things she loves and I love that about her! She also has a neat couple of hero moments and I think that’s awesome!
And Sam! I love Sam! He’s a lot more complex than I think he get credit for sometimes. He’s got self-esteem issues but he keeps them close to the chest. He’s a fighter and a hero but he sometimes doesn’t think he should get anything nice. He’s willing to try to see the best in people and I think that’s awesome about him.

See, this is difficult because there’s so many??? Let’s start off with winjimstiel though. There’s like… 21 fics on ao3. The first winjimstiel fic was posted in January of 2016, I believe. I have hope it’ll pick up speed but it’s happening so slowly *cries*

There are only 21 winjimstiel fics on ao3? That’s a freaking tragedy. We need to get that number up higher because holy wow does this ship have potential. 

I wanna see more of it but I especially like the idea of partner swapping with this ship, whether it be accidental or on purpose. Like, maybe Sam and Cas have to go do a thing and Cas gets sick so Jimmy shows up in his place and Sam’s really worried it’ll mess with Cas’s reputation but everyone loves Jimmy (because of course they would). And maybe Dean has to nurse Cas back to health and poor Cas pukes on him or something. 

OOOOH! OH! Maybe they’re all rival spies and Cas and Jimmy swap to get information from Sam and Dean. Kinda like a Mr. and Mrs. Smith au!
