They Must Have Super Hearing!

[rionaleonhart]

You know what 'Folsom Prison Blues' has made me start thinking about? A Supernatural/Prison Break crossover. They've both got the brotherly love goin' on, and the getting-sent-to-prison-to-achieve-a-goal-and-get-out. Sam and Dean would probably get off to a bad start with Michael (or possibly Sam and Michael would get along freakishly well; I haven't quite decided which way it would go yet), and then they'd work out what was going on and decide that they had to help him because, dude, it's his brother. AND MICHAEL'S ESCAPE PLANS START TO GO HORRIBLY WRONG (or, all right, continue to go horribly wrong, because from what I remember of Prison Break it certainly wasn't running terribly smoothly) WHEN THE SPIRITS OF THE MANY PRISON BREAK CHARACTERS WHO HAVE BEEN UNPLEASANTLY KILLED RETURN TO HAUNT HIM. YES.

Also, you know that Dean would have sex with Sara, and Michael would be so annoyed. YOU CAN'T JUST GO AROUND SHAGGING PEOPLE INTEGRAL TO THE ESCAPE PLAN, DEAN.

Of course, I've only seen thirteen episodes of Prison Break, which is a slight obstacle to my actually writing the thing.

In case anyone is curious about my stance on the nonsense that's been going on in Livejournal lately: I'm not leaving. SUP have been condescending and deceitful and rude, and their business decisions have irritated me quite a lot, but I'm not leaving, and I'd like it if you didn't leave either. I have made amazing friendships here. I'm not prepared to abandon those in a display of moral outrage against a company that doesn't care.

I've been thinking about it, and I can't do it. I can't kill one of the Winchester boys. It would just be the most horrible thing ever.

Also, that mermaid dream sounds seriously unpleasant. And I have more reservations with RPF than with fictional-person fic, too. I can't even write Top Gear angst.

You know, unless it's in Silent Hill.

I understand about the Top Gear angst. Obviously I do write Top Gear angst, but I have specific issues as to how and when I'm comfortable with it.

Silent Hill seems to make all kinds of character-torture more justifiable.

I seriously couldn't put any RPF characters into the mermaid dream. I might try it as an original story. For some reason, I'm less bothered about beating up on characters I make myself. It might be a bit too nasty for fanfic; among other things, it seriously doesn't seem fixable.

Unless the characters woke up and went, "It was only a dream." Which would just be a lame self-insert.

What about a fake death? Or one that didn't take? Kind of like Mystery Spot? In terms of "psychological cruelty to Dean Winchester," I don't think you could do worse than making him think Sam was dead.

Of course, I'm unwilling to inflict eyelid-slicing on him because it's too cruel, and if Dean were ever in a, "You can have your eyelids sliced off or your brother killed; your choice," situation, it's pretty obvious what he'd pick.
