What’s it called when you’re writing a fic that’s kinda sorta canon verse but not? Like, (and no, this isn’t what I’m doing) if Dean were still a hunter but Sam was a weremoose and Charlie was a witch? Is that canon divergent or is there a specific category for that? 

I think canon divergence is when everything is the same until something happens differently, I’d define your situation as “everything is the same but Sam is a weremoose and Charlie is a with” or just put in “weremoose!Sam” and “witch!Charlie”

But what if it’s like, Dean’s a hunter but he doesn’t have a brother named Sam and Sam is a weremoose? Does that still count as canon divergent? 

Canon divergent is correct. That tag means your main basis for the story was canon but you took a different turn on one or more aspects. In this case you’d be using the world that Supernatural created, it’s rules about humans and monster, but you took a different turn when it came to established characters 

That makes sense. Thanks!

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.
