Nym-wibbly - Nym

With the A B O fics are you looking at omega Cas or omega Dean? Or neither?

I haven't looked for anything in particular - just followed a few rec posts on Tumblr to a small selection of authors on AO3. They've all been omega!Dean/alpha!Cas without fail.

I'm only guessing, obviously, but I think it'd be a lot harder to pull off coherent Omegaverse worldbuilding in an omega!Cas piece, while still keeping him recognisable. Not impossible - it's not like he has to be comfortable in that role or even a good fit for that aspect of the dynamic, and the harder he bucked the more drama you'd get, just like on the show - but Cas's past and identity issues maybe don't lend themselves to the Omegaverse AU transplant in the way that Dean's seem to. Maybe because we (and, as it turned out, he) know so little about his life before he met the Winchesters?

I've actually been really interested by the roles assigned to the other Supernatural characters in these Omegaverse stories I've sampled. Some - Benny, Garth, Charlie, Naomi, Rowena, Alastair, Gabriel - are pretty consistently placed in the narratives, while others very wildly from author to author and from AU to AU. Many of the named angels remain absolute dicks, or become dicks even if they weren't dicks on the show. Crowely is always pot-luck, as is Chuck. Jack's an infant, if he's there at all (most of the stories I've bookmarked so far predate his arrival on the show). Sam is all over the shop, everything from soulless!Sam bad guy to long-lost brother to years dead. When he's not dead and not a dick, he invariably ends up with a happy marriage or similar. That keeps making me smile.

I know I must be seeing "Destiel"-weighted sample bias purely because of where I sourced my initial recs from, but I keep picturing these authors grinning maniacally and going, "Right, Cas, some massively gut-churning guilt-angst for you (stay strong blue eyes); Dean, here's your dollop of identity-angst and past-abuse trauma with severe PTSD - oh, and a truly weird alpha to deal with but don't worry, he's hung. Hey, Sam, buddy, have a wholesome marriage, a nice house, and a great career. Mazel tov, my friend!"

[Nym, slowly learning about the Omegaverse from its parent fandom, and cackling occasionally at the absolutely fucking insanely mean things we fanfiction writers do to the characters we love so much.]

What if anything will persuade you to write SPN /reader fanfics?

Pretty sure that nothing could persuade me to write character/reader fic for any fandom. I'm only invested enough in how existing characters relate to each other to get creative.

This one is for grammarly.

I see you.

I see you after all you've done to me.

You come in, sweep me off my feet, correct my comma usage and wrap me around your little finger making me dependent on you.

You taunt me with your premium features, making me wish I had just a little more money to fully commit to you and you never go on any good sale.

Then you drop me into a filthy hole with the rest of the garbage by incorporating ai that can't tell the difference between its and it's and leave me to rot.

So I move on, I find something better than you could ever be. Just for you to flash a 50% off sale in my face like we were nothing. Like I never meant a goddamn thing to you.

Now you want me back?!?!

After all this, this how you want to wine and dine me back into your arms?

Well, I won't play your game. I've grieved our parting already and now I feel nothing but utter indifference toward you.
