[dwarfankylosaur]

Circa Night Shifter, Henricksen muses on the Winchester brothers and the evidence at his disposal. He is, of course, so very, very wrong. 350 words.

LOVE. IT.

Because it's so true: Henriksen spent so much time trying to profile them in the existing boxes he had available, so even up to the time he got possessed and learned the truth first-hand in JiB, he was operating on assumptions based on other serial killer profiles.

Y'know what I want? A mini-xover where Henriksen meets with the team from "Criminal Minds" to get Dean's unsub profile and more and more about his hunt for them, and what he gleans from interviews when it just doesn't fit together, but he's shoehorning it into the patterns anyway.

And I love how your Henriksen recognizes the deeper, darker currents of Sam even without knowing anything about Sam's silly "destiny."

Sorry it took, like, a month to write back to this.
Actually, a Criminal Minds xover already exists, although there's not nearly as much profiling as I'd like: http://www.fanfic.otherplaces.net/defect.htm
There should totally be more profiling-centric fic, though. It is a tragic shortcoming of this fandom. *nods solemnly.*

OOOH... thanks for the rec!

This was brilliant. Of course that's what Henricksen would think based on his limited knowledge. What makes this piece really cool though is the extent to which he is both wrong and right. Season 1 Sam really did keep trying to distance himself from the harsher realities of hunting. Dean did all the real dirty work literally, emotionally and morally until Heart. I also liked Henricksen's insight into Dean's issues with Sam and his own wants. He's wrong about the details, but does have a point in general. Excellent work.

Thank you! Yeah, that's exactly what I was thinking when I wrote this -- Hendricksen's wrong about most of what they're doing, but he's kind of right about Dean's issues and Sam's attitude. (Which is why I'm so glad to see Sam finally stepping up to the plate since mid-S2, even if it is a little disturbing to watch.)

God, I so desperately want a story about the psycho Winchester Brothers the FBI is chasing, with in-depth exploration of their childhood and Sam's Stanford years and guest appearances by ParamilitaryNutjob!John. I may have to write it.
Doooooo eeeeet!

If you really need it

I'm adding you for fic...

Anyway! I love the last couple of lines. They're kind of shiver-inducing and it's like Henricksen could so easily be right but he missed by like 10 degrees. Love it.
