the inevitable SPN 3x07 post-ep snippet

It kind of amused me that all the John Winchester fans thought exactly the same thing about Bela's informant, the one who told Sam and Dean to stay the hell away from Gordon.. And then

phantomas posted this macro. There are many other things I should be writing right now, but this is what came out. Full of spoilers for SPN 3x07, obviously, and lacking in sense or a beta.

Bargaining (post-ep snippet for "Fresh Blood")
by

vaznetti

"This is an impossible situation." Bela felt that her tone conveyed the precise mix of reason and forcefulness necessary under the circumstances. "You will have to leave."

The man -- the ghost -- kept his arms folded across his chest. "I'm not going anywhere."

"But I've dismissed you," she said. "You are supposed to be gone now."

"I've already crawled out of Hell, darlin'. Do you really think you can get rid of me?"

"This is my car," she said. "I spend a great deal of time in my car, due to the nature of my business. I simply cannot have you taking up space and--" and smelling the place up, was what she wanted to add, but it sounded so undignified and in fact the ghost, being a ghost, did not smell at all. Although he looked like he ought to. "--and interfering in my affairs!"

"You're a thief," the ghost said. "I don't care about that. But we are going to have to have some rules when it comes to my boys."

"And I suppose your first directive will be to stay well away from them? I'm sure you haven't noticed, but they're big boys now. They can take care of themselves."

"The first thing is for you to find out the value of a single human life, in a demonic contract. I need something worth exactly that."

"Really," she said. "And why would I do that?"

The ghost smiled, and all at once Bela saw where Dean got his charm. Goodness. "Oh, don't worry. I'll make it worth your while."

"Well," she said, but it was impossible to keep from smiling back. "I'm not sure about that. I'm worth a very great deal, you know."

end.

Bela is a great deal of fun to write; I'll have to do that some more.

OMG.

::flails happily::

I never thought it was John she talked to, because I figured he'd have said rather more than that. *g* But it's an awesome idea!

If nothing else, it makes for a good joke. Anyway, it amuses me!

Hee! That's awesome! Though I admit, Mary was my first thought.

I think that really, there are any number of people (well, dead people) it might have been. But this possibility amused me.

Heh heh heh. I like this very much.

Thank you! I want to say, "poor Bela," but honestly, I am not sorry for her at all.

Aiee! *explode with glee*

The idea pleases me, as well. Thanks!

*GGGGG*

Awwww, John plotting from beyond the grave to save his boys' souls and being all charming and threatening about it fifteen different kinds of hot.

No, really, I want the fic where John and Bela team up, and he's being all ruthless and uncompromising and riding her to save his boys, and she's being all ruthless and uncompromising and determined to do nothing till it profits her, and HEE. That would be hot. And hilarious. And, you know, awesome.

(But, oh wait--you just wrote it, didn't you? THANK YOU!!!)

Aw -- actually, your story sounds like a huge amount of fun -- they would drive each other up a wall and it would be HILARIOUS! But I'm glad you liked this snippet!

Hee! That's perfect! If anyone is a match for Bella, John Winchester is (and vice versa).

I would so love to see more of this.

They would have banter! It would be awesome!

So glad you liked this!

Oh, that was BRILLIANT. Love.

Thank you!

Heee. Awesome. And, yes.

I was thinking Jessica or Mary because it was very close to (if not on) November 2, and because I wasn't sure if John would tell the boys to stay away from Gordon. Then I was like, it was Pastor Jim! Because he's the one I could see trying to warn them off the hunt. But this makes me very happy, and makes me like Bela more, too. :D

Thank you! I like all your ideas, too. We could all write them! We could have Bela haunted by a whole committee of Winchester-and-friends ghosts! (Poor Bela!)

I don't know, I thought the ghost was kind of bossy, which made me think of John, somehow.

I <333 Bela too.

I want to draw sparkly pink hearts all around her! I would want to give her a hug, but she'd probably knife me and sell my kidneys on the black market.

That's awesome. And totally how it should go. *writes to Kripke*

And did I say awesome?

LOL. That is Bella's voice down to a T.

"I've already crawled out of Hell, darlin'. Do you really think you can get rid of me?"

If I were one to change journal name, that would be it. Or an icon. A banner. Perfect John. Perfect :)

I'm going to be shameless and ask you for more. Just a little snippet. John irritating Bella, or something. Bella on the phone to Dean and John interfering. ANything you feel inspired to write. :)

Hee! I'm glad it pleased you. The macro you posted definitely inspired me.

I'll think about writing more, but I've got a lot on my to-do list that really need to get done, someday. And that

yuletide clock is ticking away... But yeah, there should be more of these two.

GLEE!

"But I've dismissed you," she said. "You are supposed to be gone now."

"I've already crawled out of Hell, darlin'. Do you really think you can get rid of me?" \o/

This makes me ridiculously, ridiculously happy. Thank you for an awesome way to start the day.

Thank you! Thinking about this situation makes me happy too!

Hee!!!!!!! Oh, spiffy!

Thank you!

Now...THAT is the way to bring John back to the show (at least until the get him back in the flesh).... Jeff doesn't even have to show up at the SPN studios...And hilarious? OH yeah!

I second Phantomas... someone needs to write Kripke and put a flea in his ear!

Thank you!

Well, I don't think this will happen on the show, but I must admit the thought fills me with glee.

Here via the newsletter. This is too awesome and, y'know, I did think Bela's ghost was weirdly overprotective/bossy, heh.

Your Bela is great, I hope you write her again, maybe interacting with Dean while John shouts orders/obscenities at her? Hee.

Thank you!

Actually, I think she'd try to flirt with both of them at once, don't you? Which would be very confusing for Dean, at least.

Oh, excellent.

Thank you!

Um, yes please? Mr Kripke, please for to be reading this and making it the plot for the last ten eps of season 3. And JDM will have to come back and be Ghost!John.

And of course John is waiting up in the hereafter to kick Dean's butt for giving up his soul for Sammy. Even though he did the exact same for Dean.

"Do as I say, not as I do..."

Awesome ficlet. *g*

Thanks! I would love to see it!

And of course John is waiting up in the hereafter to kick Dean's butt for giving up his soul for Sammy. Even though he did the exact same for Dean.

First, he'll get Dean out of the deal (there's no rule against him working on the problem!), and then he'll kick Dean's ass for even considering it. I think John thinks Dean is supposed to learn from his mistakes!

You know, that could be a perfectly bickery partnership, because John didn't have a lot of qualms about credit card scams, so he'd probably help out with the theft part of her job. But he'd doubtless try to take the deadly things away from her and hide them in his secret locker in upstate New York.

They would bicker all the time! And you're right, John would never care about the stealing, although I think the fact that John's incorporeal might keep him from getting things away from her. But he'd nag her about them.

That is fabulous. And of course he wouldn't just go away, would he? Stubborn, wonderful jackass.

Of course he would!

And thank you!

HEE.

Thanks!

John!!

I like them makin' deals with each other.

Thanks! I couldn't resist the idea.

Eee! That would make me so happy.

The thought makes me happy, too.

Oh, that was bril! John secretly helping the boys! This was great.

Glad you liked it! And he would, especially if it involved bossing them around.

Ha! I figured also that it was John. I think most John fans defaulted to that. *g* And I love this. You should totally write this entire story. I will get out my pom-poms for you. :D

Pom-poms! yay! Hm. that's almost enough to get me to write more of this 9in my copious spare time!)

I just love the idea that it was John -- I'm so glad you liked this!

I love this! I also wondered if her ghost informant was John, because who else would take such immediate concern about the boys- let alone know who Gordon was? Unlike some folks I've seen, I totally believe John would advise a retreat, because at that point the boys have no idea Gordon is a vamp and might be walking into the situation unprepared. John wasn't stupid, he knew sometimes a man had to withdraw to fight another day.

ANYhow ... Oh my dog, I love this! LOL, totally love the idea of John haunting her and making his demands, using all that incomparable Winchester threat/charm. Hee! Pity this won't be story canon, as it is ever so delicious to imagine. BTW, perfect Bela voice, too! :-)
Cheers ~

Erin

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it!

And really, I thought that it was completely in character for John to tell them to back down, since they didn't know what they were getting into. he's tried to keep them out of danger before this, in his backhanded way.

Nifty idea, that it would've been John who gave her the info.

Nicely done. :)

Thanks! I had fun writing it!
