Title: sometimes it's a good hurt
Pairing: girl!Dean/Cassie, girl!Sam/Jess
Rating: PG
Warnings: Somewhat angsty.
Summary: Loving a Winchester girl isn't always easy. Two brief fics from the POV's of two women who tried.

A/N: I kind of got a bug in my head about the Winchester girls, so I'm trying to write it out. With femmeslash.

She's dangerously beautiful, wounded-animal eyes and quick clever hands, cracked red nails lined with grease from the old black monster of a car that she calls her baby like it's a real child. She isn't much taller than Cassie but she's solid, strong thighs and round hips and high, full breasts.

Her name is Deanna.

"Dee," she says, and there's just enough knowing in her eyes that Cassie feels heat curl into her belly, that first time.

Dee has rough hands and too many scars and she kisses like she means it, all headlong rushing in that's equal parts giddy and terrifying. She doesn't like poetry, didn't finish high-school, and curses like a trucker, but she goes quiet when she comes apart under Cassie's hands and mouth, back arching, soft lips parted, gasping.

When they talk, there are holes in the conversation that Cassie keeps picking at even though she's not sure she wants to know the answers. Dee's not big on talking, anyway. She likes to drag Cassie out on weekdays when she should be in class, out on the highway in her car, rock music loud on the radio, blowing past the speed limit until the double-yellow is a blur on the pavement ahead of them and Cassie's shrieking laughter like she's a teenager again. And when Dee pulls over on an empty stretch of road and smiles without shadows, Cassie has to drag her in the backseat and kiss her like she can keep them from coming back.

They always do, though, sooner or later.

***

Sam has long, thick hair that she keeps bound back in a neat braid that falls to the middle of her back, and she chews on the end of it sometimes when she's lost in thought. She favors jeans and flats, and she's the first girl Jess has dated who's tall enough to look her square in the eyes.

They meet in freshman seminar and the minute Sam uncoils gracefully out of her seat and holds out a nail-bitten hand, huge smile digging dimples into her cheeks, Jess knows she's fucked. It doesn't help that Sam is smart and funny on top of it. It doesn't help that she's this perfect mystery, this tall, gorgeous girl who showed up out of nowhere with an old army bag of secondhand clothes and a full-ride scholarship.

Becky thinks she's in witness protection. Luis thinks she escaped from some kind of crazy cult. Sam says she has a father, and a sister, and that's all she'll say.

"Deanna," she tells Jess one Halloween, drunker than Jess has ever seen her and edged with dangerous temper. "Dee. Fucking perfect Dee. Dad always--whatever."

She throws her glass into the sink hard enough that it shatters, but she lets Jess manhandle her into bed without protest. That night, she falls asleep curled in on herself, one hand stretched across the mattress like she's reaching for someone who isn't there.

The next morning, Jess gets her a banana and an Aspirin and doesn't ask, because it doesn't matter where Sam comes from or who she used to be. She belongs here, now. With Jess, in this life that they're building together.

This is lovely. Especially this: And when Dee pulls over on an empty stretch of road and smiles without shadows, Cassie has to drag her in the backseat and kiss her like she can keep them from coming back.

These POV's are a treat to read, and you've done them so well. This line, "....the minute Sam uncoils gracefully out of her seat and holds out a nail-bitten hand, huge smile digging dimples into her cheeks, Jess knows she's fucked.", it takes my appreciation of Sam's physicality to a whole new level of *headdesk*. Gorgeous.

I had fun trying to figure out what aspects of the boys' physicality would stay the same as girls, and one thing I've always noticed about Sam is how damn graceful he is. I'm glad you liked it, and the POV's.

I love the sense of freedom in the Cassie/Dee piece and this sense that Dee's reality is never more than a step away. The emotion in the Sam/Jess is really, really lovely too!

I love your girl versions of both Sam and Dean. It's a lot of fun to get in these characters' headspace when coming from such a different perspective.

I like how Sam and Dee are still the same people at the core, even though there are differences due to being female. Hope that made sense. Very, very nice work.

Thank you so much! It totally made sense, and was exactly the effect I was hoping for.

I haven't read a whole lot of girl!Dean or girl!Sam fics, but this was amazing.
The characterisation was just really good and easy to get into reading. Really believable.

Sam and Dean would rock hardcore as sisters, beautiful and scary and brilliant and strong.

Dean as a girl is always a mind-blowing thought, cause that's almost too much pretty and dangerous to imagine *sighs*

These are such interesting glimpses into Winchester life and relationships. I love the mental image of Cassie, Dee, and the Impala, and the thought of Sam reaching across the bed is, well, not lovely but perfectly wistful.
