I need help with a fic :)
I'm planning on writing a fic series that is basically the show My Babysitter's a Vampire (MBAV) but with Supernatural characters (all in their teens). I need help figuring out two parallels. For those who do not know about/aren't familiar with My Babysitter's a Vampire, aka the show that shaped my childhood and single-handedly explains my fascination with supernatural ensemble mystery/drama shows, I'll explain the characters I want to parallel and the issue I am having.
Jesse: Jesse is the very first bad guy/Big Bad of the series and has recurring cameos throughout MBAV. He is the ex-boyfriend of one of the main characters, Sarah, and is responsible for turning her into a vampire, thus creating the premise of the show. His character is an absolute asshole, but he's still an entertaining enough villain (who has the capacity to be super creepy/has issues with consent). Jesse is a leader and is very charismatic, as well as 200 years old.
Erica: Erica is one of the core five of the group. She goes from likeable nerd to villainous vampire in the beginning of the series due to a manipulation of her insecurities and a deep-seated desire to be as powerful as the bullies who tormented her her whole life. She is good at heart, though, and has a soft spot for her best friend (Sarah), which ultimately causes her redemption arc. Regardless of if she's on the side of good or not, though, she's a bitch and I love her, which brings me to the main issue.
I can't decide whether to put Meg (from Supernatural) as Jesse or Erica. For context, the role of Sarah is going to Castiel, and he obviously has a profound connection with Meg in SPN. If Meg is Jesse, I can make use of her villainous aspects, because in the show she is highly charismatic yet temperamental.
However, on the other hand, Meg as Erica would be interesting because they both have similar redemption arcs and they have similar attitudes. Also, and this is not a huge factor behind my reasoning, Supernatural is a bit of a boys club? Like don't get me wrong, I love all the guys, but it'd be nice to actually have some female main characters (the only one I have is Charlie for the main characters).
HOWEVER.
I would like to use Gabriel as a main character. I had him as Erica in my early fic ideas, and he worked because he has villainous aspects to his character and a heart of gold (but is capable of being selfish). In that version, he was Cas' brother as well. If I use Meg for Erica, I wouldn't know who to cast Gabe as, because I love writing him. (Also, he could be a potential love interest for Sam, because I do ship Sabriel. I am trying to stay close-ish to the source material, so, if Gabe isn't in the core five, Sam would never find love...super dumb reasoning buuuuuuut anyways.) Obviously, I would not use Gabriel as Jesse cuz that is kinda gross.
Who should I cast?
Meg as Jesse, Gabriel as Erica
Meg as Erica
Gabriel as Erica, someone else as Jesse
Meg as Jesse, someone else as Erica
Someone else as Erica and someone else as Jesse
If you hit someone else as ____, please write it in the comments :). Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, if there are any questions, I can probably answer them.
