The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride is a Wincest story written by Fleshflutter as part of the 2009 Supernatural Big Bang.

It is a humorous tongue in cheek tale of Sam Winchester accepting his role (reluctantly) as the Anti-Christ. In doing so, he inadvertently signs up his brother Dean to be his consort/bride. Matchmaking angels and demons, ritualistic sex on altars and drunk dialing phone calls to Satan are some of the more popular plot-points from the story.

As part of the Big Bang, artwork for the fic was provided by wanttobeatree & vamptastica.

It is available as an ebook from Amalthia's Ebook Library and as a podfic read by FayJay. As of October 2011, the story is in the process of being translated into Russian by Loki.[1]

Author's summary: Sam is trying to become the Antichrist in order to save the world. He has a small army of angels and demons, he has an adoring cult, he has a work of prophecy by Jack Kerouac, and he has Dean. Things are going pretty well until he accidentally signs Dean up as his Beloved Consort, a role that requires sex with the Antichrist on an altar. And that's when things stop going pretty well. Also, the soundtrack to the Apocalypse sucks.


Reactions and Reviews

But, if you do want some truly spectacular fan-written apocrypha, I highly recommend fleshflutter's fabulous fic 'The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride'. It's hilarious, well-written, and features mock apocrypha written by Jack Kerouac. It's great."[2]

I'd marry this fic in a shotgun Vegas wedding if I could."[3]

It is HILARIOUS and hot and awesome.[4]

Let me just begin by saying that this is one of the most fantastic Wincest fic's out there. It's just...ugh. In fact, when I'm done here, I'm going to go read it again. In my opinion, it's so fantastic because it's got an air of realism (as far as you can have realism in wincesty Supernatural fic). Dean might start out reluctant after Sam's super booboo, but after the help of an entire creative cast of angels and demons, even he comes around to it.[5]

This fic is probably the one that made me fall in love with Wincest. It's hilarious. The boys get themselves into a ridiculous situation, and it is fantastic start to finish.[6]

This is the kind of crackfic that totters around on six-inch heels, clutching a magnum of Champagne whilst on a ledge blindfolded. I think it fell off right before the end, but that's really me and my issues. I'm not sorry I read it, and I think fans of the genre will get a lot out of it. It's smart crackfic, and it has something to say.[7]

If the title didn't clue you in to how crackish this story is, then the summary should have at least given you a hint. Funny and clever, this story has a great story arc that will constantly have you smirking, smiling, or at the very least raising an eyebrow.[8]

Negative reviews

I read The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride a little while ago. because it is supposedly a fandom classic. There were parts of it that were funny, but it was really hard to get past how uncomfortable the sex was, like at times it made me cringe away. If you haven't read it, basically Sam and Dean have to have sex for a ritual involving Lucifer and the demons and angels, and in this story Sam supposedly has a huge cock, which isn't unusual in fic, but it so large that it is physically painful for Dean during sex. This is played up for the absurdness of it, but I really felt bad for Dean in this story, and I'm not normally a Dean girl, but he was getting so much pressure from everyone to have anal sex with his brother, because they needed to save the world. or whatever. Like Dean eventually goes through with it, but he basically passes out from the pain, which was not sexy. Like I am all for size kink if the characters get off on it, but this was not that. It was one of the few times while reading fic that I wanted to wrap Dean up in a blanket and tell everyone else to leave him the fuck alone.[9]

I can't tell you how many people rec'd this as "the funniest fic EVER!!!" and "This fic was so funny I read it shaking with laughter and with tears running down my face!" and "My stomach hurt from all the laughing I did during this fic!"

So I read it expecting humor... and didn't find any at all.

Apparently I was supposed to find Dean crying from the pain of first-time buttsex with Massively Endowed Sammy to be "hilarious".[10]
