It Is Probably Fortunate That The Winchesters Are Not The Royal Family.

Are people writing ridiculous AU fanfiction to celebrate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton? I do so hope they are. Sam Winchester is second in line to the throne! He becomes engaged to Ruby! The press desperately try to find out more about her family, or at least her freaking surname, but as she outright threatens to kill reporters and paparazzi it's fairly difficult to approach her directly. Eventually, someone finds out that Prince Sam is drinking his betrothed's blood and all hell breaks loose. It is not at all good for the image of the royal family.

I'd also, conversely, read fanfiction about William and Kate fighting the supernatural in between public appearances. IN FACT, EVEN THOUGH I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO INTEREST IN THE ROYAL COUPLE AS CHARACTERS BEFORE I WROTE THAT SENTENCE, I NOW WANT THIS FIERCELY. How do people react when not only are they saved from demons: they're saved from demons by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge? It'd be bloody difficult for them to work undercover; have you ever tried pretending to be a police officer in order to gather information when your wedding has been all over the newspapers and television for months?

What a stupid entry. I don't usually post entries this short, but I fear that it will only get worse if I continue. As an apology (whilst managing to sort of stay on the theme of royal weddings, actually), here is a link to a man singing a medley of Disney songs on YouTube. HE'S SPLIT-SCREENED HIMSELF AND THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF HIM RESPOND TO AND INTERACT WITH EACH OTHER AND IT'S FABULOUS. I particularly enjoy how very bored the villain looks when the hero and/or heroine are singing.

OH MY GOD RIONA NOW I WANT IT TOO /o\ In my mind they are both toting sawn-off shot guns and wearing shades along with their nice suits, and then they leap into their Aston Martin and drive off into the sunset and Kate is probably smoking a cigar.

HEY TREE. Do you remember that lolitics fic where zombies attacked and the politicians all freaked out and then the queen turned up with a shotgun and was all "Do not worry, one's got this." and then was a BAMF everywhere? I'm thinking it runs in the family.

(Man, Royalty would be so much less useless if their duties really included protecting us from the supernatural.)

I REMEMBER THAT FIC.

Man, lolitics fandom. How I miss thee.

I'm more William/Harry fighting apocalypse zombies, than William/Kate, but I don't mind if Kate is there too. A friend of mine suggested how good william/harry would be in an apocalypse and they would, because suddenly although they are in desperate fear for their lives, they're not in fear of the paparazzi finding out about their gay incestuous love and are FREE. But I don't mean to fill your comments with incestuous rps. Obviously.

I just meant to say that I think Merlin fandom is having quite a lovely time with the idea of royal weddings, but I've not seen much anywhere else. Which is a shame.

The Dean/Castiel side of SPN fandom is almost always writing ridiculous AU fanfiction (SO MANY TEENAGE AUS, WHY) so if there's been an upswing it hasn't registered with me, though come to think of it I've been scrolling past a lot of AU fic with 'prince' in the headers lately. But now I desperately want William/Kate supernatural AU, especially if Harry and Pippa can be the hilarious comic relief.

This entire post has made me giggle like a small child. I, TOO, NOW WANT FIC OF WILLS AND KATE FIGHTING SUPERNATURAL CREATURES.

I actually only saw the ceremony itself, but there are gifs all over tumblr. PEOPLE HAVE GIF'D THE ROYAL WEDDING I CAN'T EVEN. Also, they are kind of an adorable couple. I can't deny it.

And the other European royal houses are ALSO hunters of the supernatural!

OUR FUTURE KING STUDYING WATER MANAGEMENT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW. Clearly, he's preparing for the inevitable fight against the evil sea creatures.

Not sure why one of our Queen's sisters is into talking to trees, though.

[identity profile] amy-wolf.livejournal.com 2011-04-30 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
She's trying to form an alliance? As in she gets the trees on her side so that when the water creatures come out the canals, the trees will be the first line of defense, instead of joining the water creatures and conquering?

[identity profile] dracothelizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
I should hope the trees were the water creatures' mortal enemy already. Y'know, the whole sea versus land thing.

Water creatures don't chop down trees. Humans do.

Water creatures will attempt to drown ALL the land, which will be very annoying for the trees.

[identity profile] amy-wolf.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
True. The trees would be stuck between bad and worse.

[identity profile] dracothelizard.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I imagine that the trees would retaliate with the rest of the plantlife.

Although I read Saga of the Swamp Thing, and tree politics are apparently quite complicated.

I want this too! With Harry along for the ride too, of course, and maybe Pippa.

I also want this! But actually, I really want Pippa Middleton being a badass. She wrangled small children and Kate's dress and Harry for several hours in the middle of a wedding and looked completely composed! How hard could zombies be?

Hee. Plus? Pippa = Totally hilariously awesome name

Ummm... I hate to say this, but I've just discovered that yes, people are writing AU fic...

With zombies and the Queen shooting Kate (http://allgeek2me.wordpress.com/2011/04/29/william-and-kate-fan-fiction/)

My husband collects this insanely adorable series from I think the 50s where Queen Victoria solves mysteries throughout her Realm, and of course there's a more recent nove, where she's a zombie hunter, and I think there are some books about Elizabetth II fighting evil during the second world war, too. Which all is to say that YES! I would love to see stories where William and Kate are Hunters! Or whatever! There had to be something Evil about Beatrice's hat!

I would read that over and over again until I somehow wore the text off the screen.

The norwegian princess runs a school that's supposed to teach people how to talk to anges. She's considered a bt of a joke because of it, but in a Supenatural AU, she could be a valuable resource.

I love how your brain works! Really!

When I found out that Elizabeth (the late Queen Mum) had been nicknamed 'Buffy' when younger, it gave me all sorts of ideas. Now, with the advent of 'The King's Speech', it's even better: Buffy, Bertie (and Lionel, who can totally be her Watcher) fight vampires and other bad beasties together across 1930s/40s Britain. Yay! It can be a prequel to your magnum opus.

Y/N?
