Ooh, thank you! I tried to meld both shows equally, so in terms of tone and character, whatever doesn't strike you as Supernatural-y is from Tutu. Plotwise, I had to come up with some of my own stuff, although demon blood, a beautiful dark-haired demon who at first seems like a friend, large black wings, a God-like character who is bent on writing the central story, homoerotic subtext, and even all the sleeping around when he turns evil, are common to both shows, remarkably enough. ;-) There's even the contrast between formal/informal language--Princess Tutu speaks quite formally, and Duck (her unmagical human form) is clumsy and straightforward and embarrasses herself a lot--just like Cas! YOU SEE WHY I COULDN'T RESIST WRITING THIS MASH-UP!
Ah, patois! It's been so long since I've seen that word, and I love it!
ARRGH, you're right about Sam being portrayed sometimes as so vacant and blase in the series!! I did that in the fic because Mytho, his counterpart in Princess Tutu, has lost his heart (in shards, which must be found and returned to him by Princess Tutu), and at the beginning Mytho is vacant and helpless, but the similarities just continue!

Anyway, thanks for the great comment. :-)
