Turn It Up To Eleven - MacGyver/SPN

[strangevisitor7]

Ages and ages ago julorean prompted me to write a story about Dean the inventor meeting MacGyver, the ultimate inventor. I never felt I got it right, so I never posted it. After Dean built an electromagnet in last week's episode, Ghostfacers, I decided this needed to be finished. Much thanks to pen37 who showed me where I'd gone off track.

Title: Turn It Up

Broke me. Too cool for words.

[strangevisitor7]

Thanks. So glad it worked for you!

I've never read fic with MacGyver! That was excellent! What a nice way to end the work day :)

[strangevisitor7]

Thanks so much. Glad I could drag you out of your regular reading list. It was a different fandom for me too.

[ithildyn]

I honestly read very little fic at all anymore. You're just special [g]

[strangevisitor7]

*hugs* You made my day thank you!

This rocks my world! This is so logical---I can *totally* see Dean developing just like this, and what a terrific crossover!

[strangevisitor7]

Wow Thanks. I am so glad that you enjoyed it!

Awww, that was so sweet. I loved how you showed John as being a good Dad. I really feel that he was a good hunter and did his best as a Dad. He just had his blind spots, like every other parent. Sometimes he just needed someone else to open his eyes.

And I LOVE that you made it a MacGyver crossover! I've been buying the seasons on DVD and wallowing in the '80s vibe. I really enjoyed the series as a kid, and I'm enjoying it again. I love your MacGyver and Dean here. I almsot wish something like this had happened.

Suddenly I have a plot bunny of Dean and Sam saving Mac's life from something supernatural years later...

*mems*

[leodragon1]

Oh, I just have to add something!

There's actually an episode of MacGyver where Penny Parker inherits what seems to be a haunted mansion. And the whole time, MacGyver scoffs at the stories and says that, "There's a perfectly rational explanation for anything supernatural."

He DOES use the word supernatural, I did you not. :-D

*smirks*

I remember that episode.
I also remember two other episodes where Mac DID brush with supernatural. One was with a possible encounter with the Bigfoot, that seemed to be a setup but in the end of the growling yell across the misty landscape is heard; other was later in the seasons and there an ancient Native American shaman spirit saved Mac's life (a wolf led him into a cave and later that wolf was a dried up old dead animal in the corner of the cave).
So... crossover with Winchesters meeting Mac again in some obscure place... rather plausible!

You Guys are just killing me with good ideas for a sequel. the Winchesters trying to convince Mac it's all real could be a hoot.

Very nice!

Now you have me craving an AU where Dean follows up on that :)

[strangevisitor7]

First - Love the icon.

Thanks. I know it seems like a great AU for Dean to meet up with MacGyver, go to college and become his partner in saving the world with paper clips and tube socks.

First - Love the icon.

Thanks! I made it when doing a Jack/Thor vid (in part as meta, in part to embarrass a friend and in part because they were silly enough to supply all the slash tropes with those two in canon). Feel free to run off with the icon for your own amusement.

Yeah, or just do an apprenticeship which he then applies to hunting. I love Dean most as a character when he's bright.

[strangevisitor7]

I agree. Dean is much smarter than most fandom gives him credit for. he's just not book smart the way Sam is.

I will have to return to this Universe again. There are too many good ideas not too.
