WILDCAT!
Oh, um. I have to have a question. Er. How is it so fucking hot? HOW? *g* And if you were to write a sequel in which the three of them collide super hotly again, what would be the plot and whatnot?
*FACEPALM* Oh ANNE. How is it so hot? *blush* Thank you. And I have two answers to that question...
1) Because it's SAM AND DEAN AND FAITH FER CHRIST'S SAKE.
2) Because - and yeah yeah we're not supposed to say this shit out loud but WHATEVER - it's Sam/Dean/girl. For crying out loud, let's just SAY IT: WE ALL WANT TO BE THAT GIRL. The end.
Were I to maybesomedaywhoknowsohgodbutprobablynot write a sequel to Wildcat, I would absolutely start it with Dean and Sam hunting something-or-other and finding it...just as Faith was taking it out, all slayer-like and obviously super-powered. And it'd be like:
Boys: *O.o* "Um."
Faith: *lights cigarette, squints* "Don't I know you guys?"
Sam: "Holy shit...well that explains a lot."
Dean: "Dude, you're that girl! Farah? No wait...Hope? Damn, you can kick some serious ass!"
Then it'd be all:
Faith: "This isn't gonna be weird cause we fucked that time, is it? I mean, at least all the weapons you guys were carrying make sense now. But believe it or not? Still not the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Which either means that I need to get out more or less, I'm not sure. So can we get on with it and kill these slimy motherfuckers or what?"
And then later:
Faith: "Oh come on, the whole 'sharing a girl' thing is a dead freaking giveaway not to mention the fact that you two have brought the 'repressed homoerotic buddy cop' routine to a whole new level of sexual tension and I've seen that particular routine a lot so I would know."
Boys: "HOMG she doesn't know! SHE DOESN'T KNOW."
Then Faith would smoke ten thousand cigarettes out of the back window of the Impala and Sam would make bitchface about it and try to hang those tree-shaped air fresheners on the rearview mirror until Dean started threatening to make him EAT them and Dean would rant about how she better not burn holes into his upholstery but then quietly ask to bum one some night when she's puffing away in the parking lot of a sleazy motel (since Dean hasn't smoked since he winded himself on a fairly easy sprint after a pooka when he was 17 years old) and there'd be lots of filthy, shameless threesome sex. \o/
See if you'd asked my ficwife that question, she would have told you about an actual PLOT, involving some credible supernatural reason for them to meet again. For me? The hunt-where-they-run-into-each-other is a convenient framework for coming up with snarky Faith quotes and imagining her chain smoking out the back window the Impala. *takes little bow* Cuz that's how she and I roll.

How did Transmutation come to be?
Heh. So I'm a h0r for the OT3, right? In pretty much every fandom, I got me an OT3/4 (...or several). And way way back, months before I actually posted Transmutation, I read Across the Universe by trollprincess which postulated, "What if Sam died in the fire instead of Jess?" And, lo, the seeds of my wee, insane Dean/Jess shippyness came into being (CALM DOWN, I'm still all about the Sam/Dean OTP... I'm just slutty.)
So I read that fic and my brain spasmed and went, "What if Jess didn't die? Nice. Ooooo, what if no one died." And then I couldn't let it go. From there it spun out of control and my brain followed each step from "Jess didn't die" to "she would be horribly scarred afterward" to "she'd never be able to return to a normal life" to "she'd demand to go with them" to "THREESOME SEX OMG". By then, poisontaster and I had begun writing EBT and so the universe of Transmutation was always an AU of that verse for me - which meant Wincest. Which meant Jess finding out. All those "if X, then Y" things one does when working out how an AU happened :D.
Jess/Sam and Sam/Dean were both already extant. Therefore I had to work out Jess/Dean, decided they were going to fuck around BEFORE she found out about the wincest (because it was angstier that way) and knew they had to have a good reason to "do that" to Sam. Which meant Sam had to be having PTSD and freezing Jess out which she misunderstands as him finding her scars and/or participation in "his old life" repulsive. Plus she's traumatized from what she'd gone through and ANGRY that Sam didn't tell her all this time. Then, in order to screw around with Sammy's girlfriend, Dean had to be on the bleeding edge of barely holding it together because he's just gotten a broken, freaking-out Sam back but also inherited Sam's crazy-damaged (because of them, the SAME WAY as their mother) girlfriend. He's just trying to keep his "new family" together and whole, his father is completely MIA and The Demon is really fucking pissed off b/c they thwarted it. Three incredibly screwed-to-hell and volatile people, totally alone except for each other, thrown into a situation that is various levels of "Brand New Kinds Of Fucked Up" for each of them, etc, etc and so forth. That's my kind of shit!
Then, somehow, Dean ended up hijacking the POV of the entire fic which I'll never really understand. But the enduring fact was that a Jess-muse was born into my brain. And the first two pieces of that story that came to me were Jess' voice:
"I thought your Dad was a drunk. I thought he beat you."
and
"I knew it. I totally knew it. Oh God, oh God."
Those bits came to me in whole-cloth and sparked off the scenes they're in - which is pretty much what always happens to me.
Long story short? (too late...)
"What if..?" AU of Pilot + desire to write Dean/Jess + Jess Finds Out About Wincest = 'Transmutation'. I was actually surprised that I hadn't seen many more "What if Jess didn't die?" fics in the time between when I first had the thought and when I posted; it just seemed like a really obvious AU idea to me.
I think it's my favorite of the 'verses I've created/taken part in, actually, so thanks for asking, Ellcrys :D.

Okay, question from your bobby fic -- I don't think you addressed it in it, but how do you imagine your bobby and john meeting? :)
Whee! *clap clap* Okay, I've never really thought about this before, unlike my previous two answers :D. But the second I DID start to think about it, I imagine it was a fairly simple matter of Bobby being That Guy - the guy who knows spellwork and deep-low mystic arts - and John learning about the Hunter community.
I like to think that in the early years, before even Dean has clear memories, John got a list of names and possible locations from Missouri Mosley who, as we know, was the one to "lift the veil from his eyes". He traveled around the country, not doing so much Hunting/Training-To-Become-A-Hunter as Tracking Down Lots Of Hunter Types And Asking Them Stuff. More looking for someone with answers that would allow him to take his revenge and have it be over than looking to become someone with answers who has a responsibility to stop all sorts of evil. Then one slowly morphed into the other as he realized with each Hunter he met that no one knew what the hell (heh, no pun intended) was going on and he'd have to find and kill The Demon himself. It seems to me that John is the kind of guy who believes that you help people because you CAN, end of story, so he found himself becoming a Hunter almost without realizing it.
In my head and in the fic, Bobby knows Ellen and I had the Harvelles be old friends' of his - this isn't clearly stated but I feel like he knew them and their clientèle from back when his grandmother was alive. Now that I'm thinking about it, I like the idea that Missouri knows Bobby and gave John his name. Maybe her family stretches back in a long line of Seers too and it seems like that'd be a pretty tight-knit, "everyone at least knows OF everyone else" kind of thing. Then Bobby sent John to Ellen and Bill when he couldn't find anything either - thinking that one of the many Hunters who frequent the Roadhouse might have some answers. :D
YAY FUN!
