S10E5... we all know it.
FanFiction
———————————————————
We were in a motel room, I woke up to Sam moving, I opened my eyes and saw he was headed out the door. I took the chance and ran into the bathroom, I pulled my shirt off and turned around. I saw the still burning scars of on my spine, I could feel the chip in my spinal cord. Sam had finally healed up, and was out of the chicken wing, but I was not... my back was still wrapped.
Dean found us a case, surprise... it's at an all girl's school... I'm taking a guess, Dean's feeling normal again, at least our normality.
I said" I'm going invisi-girl, I'm sleeping till we get there." Dean and Sam nodded, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
Once Dean woke me up, he nodded and then got out. I rubbed my eyes then went invisible and followed them.
Dean said" Theater kids... great."
Sam said" I was a theater kid."
" Barely. You did Our Town, which was cool, but then you did that crappy musical."
" That... Oklahoma!,? Hugh Jackman got cast off Oklahoma!,"
" You ran tech, wolverine."
" Shut up." I smiled then patted Sam's shoulder then followed Dean,
We got to the theater,
the woman said" If you gentlemen need anything else, just let me know."
Sam said" Great. Thanks, Mrs. Salazar." We walked in, and I stayed by my brothers,
A girl said" Idjits. Ya idjits. You are idjits."
Another girl said" Hey, assbutt!"
A girl sang," John and Mary, husband and wife bringing home a brand new life his name is Sammy. I'm big brother Dean the perfect family. Or so it seemed. The demon's visits had begun, it believed Sam was the chosen one. It burned my mother and it took my brother, leaving us in tears. On the road so far, yeah, the road so far we are in dad's car-"
Another girl said" Cut! Alright, go talk yo the lighting department real quick, and then we're gonna go talk to Siobhan." Sam, Dean, and I stared at the set in front of us, oh not this bullshit again.
Dean said" What in the h-holy..."
Sam said" If there is a case...-" I appeared,
I said" Probably has something to do with all this."
Dean said" Ya think?"
" I'm getting tired of our lives being used as entertainment." Dean hummed, Sam sighed, oh this is gonna be entertaining.
A girl ran to us, she said" Oh, my gosh, a-a-are you guys from the publisher? I'm- I'm Marie. The writer/director. This is Maeve, my stage manager, and that was just a dr-" Sam took out his FBI badge, then Dean went to, I blocked his hand, as I saw the fake badges they had. We are gonna have to tough this one out, if we don't wanna get arrested... for them, again.
Sam said" I'm, uh, Special agent Smith. This is my partner, Special agent..."
Dean said" Smith." I took the time to go invisible again,
" Smith. No relations. W-we're here to look into the disappearance-"
" There is no singing in Supernatural." I stifled my laughter and looked at Dean, can he just be serious for once when it comes to this stuff.
Maeve said" Well, this is Marie's interpretation."
" Well... I mean, if there was singing, you know- and that's a big If- if there was singing, it would be classic rock, not this... Andrew Floyd Webber crap!"
Sam said" Andrew Lloyd Webber."
" S- What?"
Marie said" Well, you know, we do sing a cover of Carry On WayWard Son, in the second act."
Sam said" Really?"
Dean said" Huh. It's a classic." The girl said the same
" Right. Anyways, w-we're here to talk about the disappearance of Mrs. Chandler. Any chance you two saw her before she vanished?"
Marie said" She left around like, what, 9:30?"
" Any idea where she would be headed that time of night?"
Maeve said" A bar. Or a liquor store. Both."
" Wow. Really?"
Marie said" She had a nasty divorce last year. Most of the time, she's sipping on her, uh... grown up juice or passed out, usually in that order."
Dean said" Yeah, well, I don't blame her. I'm gonna need 50 jello shots and a hose down to get this stink off me." I shrugged, we probably will, I mean, this is out of hand.
Sam said" Maeve, right? You're the stage manager?"
Maeve said" And I understudy Jody Mills."
" That's great. That's great. Jody Mills, that's great. So, how about you give me a, uh, behind the scenes tour while your director shows my partner Mrs. Chandler's Office? Deal? Great. Give us a moment, please." Once they walked away, I became half visible,
Dean and I said" I'm gonna throw up."
" I mean, I got to say, it's kind of charming... t-the production value and the..." he turned to face us and we had that 'shut the hell up' faces on, and he saw," No? N No. I'm gonna check for EMF. You- You look for, uh, cursed objects." I stayed with Dean since I didn't feel like seeing Sam fanboy over all that tech stuff.
Dean said" Where the hell did you get all this stuff?"
Marie said" Some parts homemade, some parts repurposed, all of it... awesome. D-Don't. Please Don't."
" What are they doing?"
" Oh, uh, they are rehearsing the B.M. Scene."
" The Bowel-Movement scene?"
" No! No, the boy melodrama scene. You know, the scene where the boys get together and they're.. they're driving or leaning against baby, drinking a beer. Sharing their feelings. The two of them, alone but together. Bonded, united. The power of their pain is-"
" Why are they standing so close together?"
" Uh... reasons."
" You know, they're brothers, right?"
" Well, duh. But... subtext." I covered my mouth then gagged, oh, people are so gross. They're brothers, my brothers.
" Why don't you take a substep back there, ladies?"
We got to the office, Dean and I looked around, a lot of liquor was in here.
Marie said" Yeah." Then Dean picked up a robot head,
Dean said" This hers?"
" No. That's a prop from Act 2. I've been looking for that, actually."
" There's no space in Supernatural."
" Well, not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction."
" You mean Fan Fiction."
" Call it whatever you like, okay? It's inspired by Carver Edlund's books... with a few embellishments. Well, as you know, Chuck stopped writing after Swan Song. I just... I couldn't leave it the way that it was. I mean, Dean not hunting anymore, living with Lisa, S-Sam somehow back from hell but not with Dean? So, um, I wrote my own ending."
" You wrote your own ending.. with... spaceships?"
" And robots and some ninjas. And the Dean becomes a woman." I started laughing, no one can hear me except for Dean and Sam when I'm invisible anyways." It- It's just for a few scenes."
We were walking the halls now,
Dean said" Alright, Shakespeare, you know that I can actually tell you what really happened with, uh, Sam and Dean and Hazel. A friend of mine hooked me up with the, uh... unpublished unpublished books. So, Sam came back from hell, but without his soul. Then Cas brought in a bunch of Leviathans from Purgatory. Uh, they lost Bobby. And then Cas and Dean got stuck in Purgatory. Sam hit a dog, Hazel went lone wolf. Uh, they met a prophet named Kevin. They lost him, too. Then Sam underwent a series of trials... in an attempt to close the gates of hell... which... nearly cost him his life. And Dean, well, Dean became a demon. A knight of hell, actually."
" Wow."
" Yep."
" That is some of the worst fan fiction that I have ever heard! I mean, seriously, though, no, where'd your friend find this Garbage? I-I'm not saying that ours in a masterpiece or anything, but geez. I'll have to send you some fic links later."
" What are they doing?"
" Um... kids these days call it hugging."
" Is that in the show?"
" Oh. No. Siobhan and Kristen are a couple in real life. Although we do explore the nature of Destiel in Act 2."
" Sorry... what?"
" Oh, it's just subtext. But, then again, you know, you can't spell subtext without... S-E-X." I gagged then started laughing, oh god, fangirls are some weird ones for sure.
Once we got with Sam, and got out of there,
Sam said" I don't understand."
Dean said" Me neither."
" I mean, shouldnt it be Dea-Stiel?"
" Really? That's your issue with this?"
" No, of course it's not my issue. You know, how about... Sastiel, Samstiel?"
" Okay, alright, you know what? You're gonna do that thing where you just shut the hell up, forever."
" Look, man, no EMF, no hex bags. None of their props are even remotely hinky. Other than the Charlie Kaufman of it all, I got nothing. You?"
" No, Miss Chandler's Office was just a pile of empty bottles and regret. She's probably facedown in a bar somewhere or a ditch. Alright, so, what, this... this whole... this whole musical thing, everything, it's just... it's all a coincidence? There is no case?"
" Unless you're seeing something I'm not, no, Dean, there's no case here."
" Okay." Dean walked over to the other side,
" Casdean?"
" Shut your face. Get in the car." I started laughing then got into the impala." Shut your face too." I shook my head as I continued to laugh my ass off.
There was another kidnapping, and they went back. I teleported in when I wanted to,
Sam said" And so are we. I'm Sam Winchester. That's Dean." Maeve and Marie laughed,
Marie said" Okay. Now, look. I'm willing to accept that monsters are real, but those books... are works of fiction."
Maeve said" And you guys are way too old to be Sam or Dean."
" Oh, yeah."
" More of a Rufus/Bobby combo... maybe."
Dean said" Okay, alright, little miss sunshine. We are what the books call Hunters."
" FBI Hunters?"
" Yeah."
" You guys are X-Files."
Sam said" Sure. Yeah. You could say that. So, the scarecrow in your musical is it based on the one from the books?"
Marie said" No. I changed it. I got scared of a local legend when I was a kid. There was this old, creepy scarecrow on an abandoned farm outside of town. Kids used to say if it caught you, it would take you away."
Dean said" Okay, if this scarecrow is based off of your version, then Miss Chandler and Maggie might still be alive."
Maeve said" You think the scarecrow was created by the play?"
Marie said" You think... it's a tulpa."
I appeared to Sam and Dean, only to them, I said" This doesn't add up, guys, tulpas require a-a ton of psychic energy to juice up."
Dean said" Yeah."
Sam said" Well, it's not like the supernatural books are tearing up the New York Times best seller list, and I seriously doubt this play is even sold out."
" Hope not."
" Oh, but you know what? This flower, I know I've seen it in the lore somewhere. There's got to be a connection."
" Alright, you get on that. I'm gonna take a shot at burning man."
" Yeah."
" Okay. Can you show me to the boiler room?" I got bored and teleported out of there and to the motel room. I started researching, i've seen that flower somewhere but I can't remember where I saw it.
Once I teleported back, after a little of research, it was a goddess.
Sam said" It's Calliope."
Dean said" Who?"
Maeve said" The goddess of epic poetry, the muse."
Sam said" She's associated with this the borage or starflower. That's the picture."
Dean said" Okay wait, if this is a god thing, then what's with the scarecrow?"
" According to the lore, Calliope manifests creatures from the stories she's tuned into."
Marie said" So... the scarecrow is still alive and we burned my prop for nothing?"
Dean said" Oh, that thing needed to burn."
Maeve said" The only way to destroy the scarecrow is to kill calliope."
Sam said" Right, she uses these manifestations, like the scarecrow, to inspire the author and protect them. Until their vision is realized."
Dean said" Then what?"
" Then she eats the author."
Marie said" Okay, that's bad. Um... well... you get your wish. Let's cancel the show."
" That's what your teacher and classmate did. They tried to shut you down, and the scarecrow took them, protected you and the show."
Dean said" Okay, so, the scarecrow is a boogeyman. We got to take our shot with this, uh..."
" Calliope."
" Calliope. But she won't show herself until... your vision is realized."
Marie said" So... what are you saying?"
" The show must go on."
Sam came out to the trunk, I appeared to him, I said" Why did our lives have to summon a freakin' Goddess?!" Sam scoffed," Shut up. At least they don't know I'm real, they think you're too old for Sam and Dean."
Sam mumbled" Shut up."
" Let's hurry and get this over with, alright?"
" Alright."
We went back in, I was invisible, I'm gonna be knocked out for days after this is over.
Once the play had started, Dean and I were on one side, Sam was on the other. I saw the scarecrow, I hit at Dean's arm, and pointed. Dean and I got Sam's attention but it didn't work because the scarecrow got Sam and went through a wall. I teleported out to the car and waited for them. I started falling asleep in the front seat, then I closed my eyes and was out.
I was moved, then I was leaning against someone, I hummed, but didn't open my eyes. Someone was rubbing my hair, playing with the ends gently, lulling me back to sleep.
