Just watched the first episode of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I decided in the first five minutes - and the show did nothing to dissuade me - that I was watching an AU of Supernatural where John was a woman and Dean had died as well as Mary. Because - yeah. John C is like *Sam*, totally, only if Sam and John W had been all each other had. John C trusts his mother and follows her orders because her constant terror that she'll lose him is not unmerited - all they have are each other. Whereas Sammy is more resentful of John's constant protectoro because he can't imagine a world without Dean - where they are under threat. Where Sam could be left alone.

And in that AU scenario, it wouldn't be that female!John had been genderswapped, or that f!John was the wife whose husband had died... It would be more like: Sam and Dean have two mommies.

Because, dude. AWESOME.

And the shelf in my brain where I kept my genderswapped!John just had the dust blown off it... ( Read more... )

Anyway, clearly I have thoughts, but though I reallyreally want to write it NOW, I feel that I'm not exactly in a place I could attack this and do it justice. But still. *clings to it*

Though I LOVE the idea of the Dean-and-Sammy Have Two Mommies, too. Like, SO much. It's all Sarah Connor's fault for being so awesome.
