==Alternate Universes and Other Worlds ==
===Fairy realm===[[Fairies]] live in a realm separate from ours, although they can move between their world and ours. The land of Oz is situated in the fairy realm.<br>
Episodes: [[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]], [[8.11 LARP and the Real Girl]].
===[[Oz]]===[[Oz]] can be accessed from Earth through the use of a special key, that once used on any door, turns it into an entrance to Oz. The only other method of entry into Oz is through natural disasters, like tornadoes, the eye of a hurricane or whirlpools.<br>
Episodes: [[9.04 Slumber Party]], [[10.11 There's No Place Like Home]]
===World without Supernatural===[[Balthazar]] sends [[Sam]] and [[Dean]] into an alternate universe, ostensibly to hide the key to where all the [[angelic weapons]] are being stored safe from [[Raphael]]. They find themselves in a world where their lives are the basis of a TV show, and they are actually actors - [[Jared Padalecki]] and [[Jensen Ackles]]. In this universe spells don't work, and the supernatural doesn't exist. When they get back to their own universe, Sam and Dean find out the whole thing was a diversion so that [[Castiel]] could access the weapons.<br>
Episodes: [[6.15 The French Mistake]]
===[[Apocalypse World]]===Apocalypse World is an [[alternate universe]], one in which the forces of [[Heaven]] and [[Hell]] are fighting in an eternal battle with humanity caught in the middle. It is connected to the normal world by a portal opened by the [[nephililm]] son of Lucifer - [[Jack]].<br>
Episodes: [[12.23 All Along the Watchtower]]
 
===[[ 12.23 All Along the Watchtower]]===
[[Kelly Kline]]'s [[Nephilim]] child, [[Jack]], creates a tear in the universe which leads to an [[Apocalypse World|alternate Earth]] where Sam and Dean were never born and therefore didn't stop the [[Apocalypse]], resulting in [[demons]] and [[angels]] fighting a never-ending war with humanity caught in the middle.
 
===[[6.09 Clap Your Hands If You Believe...]]===
The brothers originally attribute the disappearances of four men to UFOs. After [[Dean]] is abducted and escapes, [[Sam]] deduces that they are dealing with fairies. They go to speak with [[Marion]], who appears knowledgeable on the subject. She tells Sam and Dean that fairies include "sprites and spriggans, boggarts and brownies" as well as elves, gnomes, and trolls. She says these creatures come from some sort of parallel universe. They are vulnerable to [[iron]] and [[silver]]. If someone pours salt or sugar in front of them they have to stop to count the grains.
 
They discover that the fairies were summoned by [[Mr. Brennan]] using a book he inherited from his grandmother. He made a [[deal]] with the [[Leprechaun]], who agreed that the fairies would work in his shop in exchange for the "fruit and fat of the land." The fairies then proceeded to steal his and other firstborn sons in Elwood.
 
Mr. Brennan tries to reverse the spell that summoned the fairies, but the [[Leprechaun]] kills him before he can finish. The Leprechaun seems to be very powerful, employing what he calls "real magic." He also claims that he can do what angels cannot and tries to make a deal with Sam for the return of his soul from [[Lucifer's Cage]].
 
Sam refuses the deal and defeats the Leprechaun by emptying a container of [[salt]] in front of him. He is forced to sit down and count each grain while [[Sam]] reads the incantation that banishes him and all of the other fairies.
 
===[[8.11 LARP and the Real Girl]]===
A good fairy named [[Gilda]] is put under a spell by [[Gerry]] who forces her to injure and later kill his rivals for [[Charlie Bradbury]]'s heart. According to Gilda, she is unable to free herself from the spell and it can only be broken by a hero destroying Gerry's spellbook. Under Gerry's orders, she captures Charlie so he can "rescue" her and become a hero and while Gilda holds Charlie prisoner, Charlie becomes attracted to Gilda and kisses her. Sam, Dean and Gerry arrive and Gerry forces Gilda to use a suit of armor to pin down Sam while he tries to kill Dean with a sword he has Gilda transform to real. In the fight that follows, Dean knocks Gerry's spellbook from him and Charlie stabs it with a knife, destroying it and breaking the spell. [[Dean]] knocks out Gerry who Gilda takes back to her realm with her to face a fairy tribunal for his actions. Gilda and Charlie share a final kiss before Gilda leaves and Charlie hopefully calls after Gilda to call her.
==Episodes Featuring Altered Reality or Alternate Timelines==
Some stories may become AU as new information is later revealed on the Show. This is especially true of stories written between seasons, where a fic is based on certain assumptions of what may occur that are then disproved by later canon (also known as being [[Jossed]], a term coined in relation to Joss Whedon and the Buffy verse). In Supernatural fandom the term [[Kripked]] was coined to describe the opposite phenomenon - when events in fan fiction are later confirmed by canon.
If a story is generally compliant with major events, the introduction of a sexual relationship between characters - whether it's [[Wincest]], or [[Dean/CastielDestiel]] or Gabriel/Balthazar, is not considered to make a story an AU.
Some stories may be set in a totally different universe (e.g. Sam, Dean, and Castiel are professional bull riders or FBI agents). These stories more closely resemble original fiction in that the characters share little in common, other than their names and some personality traits, with their canonical versions. These stories are more common in [[RPF AU|RPF]] fics. In [[RPF AU]] stories are essentially original fiction, where the major characters are named, and occasionally very loosely based, on real people.
