Something Primal by luchia13 (R)

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: gen (Dean, Sam, Castiel) - no pairings, but gore/violence (read story warnings)
Length: ~ 11,000 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] luchia13
Author Website: Ultimate Master List of Doom
Why this must be read: Four words: Castiel. Is. A. Dinosaur.

Author Summary: "Castiel turns himself into a dinosaur to save the Winchesters from an escaped zoo of demonic animals and save a seal (66, not an animal) in the process. And then things get weird."

This should be read because it is the very best kind of crack available. An absurd, but entirely plausible SPN plot; Sam and Dean, in character, being awesome while fighting for their lives; demonic animals (including a panda, a rhino, and a cobra) fighting an angelic dinosaur who may have imprinted - just a little - on Dean. It's a must-read season 4 style case fic.


It’s a comfortable four in the afternoon when the dinosaur appears in front of Dean’s bed. The sun’s shining, Sam’s taking a nap on the other bed, looking more relaxed than he has since Dean made his deal, and Dean’s idly researching who could be in charge of their current demonic mauling problem. It’s the kind of afternoon that makes you think a nice glass of lemonade and a porch swing would be awesome, but no, he gets the random appearance of a bona fide Jurassic Park escapee.

He figures screaming for Sam to wake the fuck up while shooting the thing in the face is a logical reaction. The dinosaur – which looks a hell of a lot like the raptors in those movies – lets out this biting squeak noise and then hisses, lowering itself onto its haunches while Dean grabs his stupid brother’s arm.

Which is when he notices the tattered remains of a beige coat lying on the floor, and the fact the raptor isn’t attacking. In fact, the dinosaur looks like he’s frowning more than anything. It even has its crazy long tail politely avoiding hitting the ceiling somehow.

“Holy shit,” Sam says, grabbing onto Dean just as much as Dean is grabbing onto him. “Holy shit, Dean, there’s a dinosaur in our room.”

Dean considers the evidence in front of him. He notes the ridiculous blue of the thing’s eyes, the fact it just appeared, and remembers that it just took a bullet to the brain. “Dude, I think it’s Cas.”
