Reccer's notes:
What if the Winchesters were …Romani?
So much of Sam and Dean’s life has been nomadic that this really seemed like a perfect fit. An important part of what makes the boys them is the isolated way they grew up, outcasts in their own society, forever on the move. This story explores the boys within a culture that is accepting of the supernatural, one in which a life spent on the road is perfectly acceptable. It gives them a home base and a large family which understands, but still keeps them perfectly in character.
[Short excerpt]“Sam’s got this idea, thinks we can maybe track Yellow-Eyes using old newspapers. Look for reports of mothers with young children who died in fires, you know? Like that kid who could move stuff with his mind we found last year.”
She snorted, seemed to relax. “That Sam, always reading and writing. No wonder he’s so dili. He should have pulled Sam out of that gadje school when the boy hit puberty, same as you.”
Dean was surprised that Mala would skirt the taboo like that. Talking about the dead invited their muló back for a haunting. But he wasn’t gonna let his Dad go undefended. “Well, he had his reasons. And it’d be good, having a big-name dukàto in the family, right? Law wouldn’t dare mess with us then. And Sam knows just how to talk to gadje, can get us in and out of places like you wouldn’t believe.”
