SPNstuck (And Sit Them Down for Thanksgiving Dinner) (2126 words)
Fandom: Homestuck
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Roxy Lalonde, Dave Strider, Dirk Strider, Rose Lalonde, Kanaya Maryam, Karkat Vantas, Sollux Captor, Feferi Peixes, Terezi Pyrope
Additional Tags: Remix, Alternate Universe - Supernatural (TV) Fusion, Alternate Universe - No Sburb/Sgrub Sessions, Thanksgiving Dinner, Alternate Universe - Angels & Demons, Family Drama, Roxy Lalonde Is So Done, Rose Lalonde Gets All The Girls, Background Relationships, Background Poly, Strilondes
Summary: You still aren't entirely sure how your family got designated as hosts for the great angel/demon peace summit of 2018. The demons are obviously in it for the chaos, flames and shouting that might as well be your family's trademark. The angels make much less sense. Like, seriously, what kind of celestial morons think you and your siblings are any kind of diplomatic? And why pick Thanksgiving dinner when none of them need to eat in the first place? It's completely absurd and will only end in tears.
(Oddly, the day winds up being the most successful infernal/celestial summit anyone can ever remember.)

As maypop says, Per tumblr user isozyme: "So the theory of supernaturalstuck is to take SPN, retain all the good setting shit, scoop out all the tragic manpain, and fill the void with tragic Rose Lalonde pain. In practice it is about how hot Rose is with really short hair and a lot of magic tattoos, and making fun of Sollux's butt, and what happens when you give all eight Strider-Lalondes a lot of weapons and extra battle trauma and sit them down for Thanksgiving dinner."
I went with four Strilondes rather than eight, but otherwise, yeah, that's the basic plan for this fic. :)
Anyway, as I said when I got my assignment, maypop and I don't have much in common in our areas of writing interest -- that is, even within the fandom we share, and even when writing the same characters, we take notably different approaches and have notably different preoccupations. Which of course is part of the point of remix exchanges: stretching oneself as a writer in directions one would never otherwise think to try.
But it meant that I glommed onto SPNstuck pretty quickly as my best remix target, and also promptly started to wonder about the larger context of her fic (which is a short, hilarious, self-contained scene). Fortunately I managed to stop myself before I got completely lost down a worldbuilding rabbit-hole and instead went for making the classic disastrous holiday dinner even more disastrous, because obviously that's how these things work. *wry* And I picked Roxy as my POV character, because I love her and also I figured she was the one best-placed to be at least nominally trying to rein in the chaos, which is an attitude I always find amusing to write.
I knew to a very firm degree exactly what I wanted to write from a couple days after I got my assignment, and it was just a question of sitting down and translating ideas to words. I left that until pretty much the last minute, because I keep not actually reaching the periods of free time that I logically should encounter now and then in this very busy year, but the story flowed as easily as I was expecting so whatever, it all worked out in the end. :)
