I found the quote from The Kids Are Alright:
Sam: They're dead. All of them. All of my mom's friends. Her doctor, Her uncle -- everyone who ever knew her, systematically wiped off the map one at a time. Someone went through a hell of a lot of trouble Trying to cover their tracks.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Supernatural Season 6 premieres on September 24. Happy Birthday to ME!
Read a crossover fic with D/C and DW Ten and Donna. Not till I was almost finished did I realize why everything felt very off. The setup was that Dean and Donna have very wacky non-human people as traveling companions.
I can't believe in a Dean without Sam, and Sam wasn't even mentioned, let alone present in spirit, memory, or flesh.

You'd think Dean would have to have amnesia to forget Sam that completely.
It would have been better had Sam and Dean been such a thing that the Doctor was surprised to find one without the other.
It's fascinating to watch Houses of the Holy now. Dean is so Scully here, with contemptuous sauce on top. Just you wait, Dean Winchester. One angel is going to mean a hell of a lot to you later on.
I love later on, too, in whatever episode it is, when he says, "My friend Cas." Dean has so few friends. None, really, unless you count Bobby, and I think the father figure there overshadows any buddy vibe. I don't think he knew Ash long enough to count him as anything more than an ally, and even Ellen and Jo I think fell under some vague heading of family or comrade rather than friend, with its connotation of companion.
And Sam's not his friend. Sam is his everything -- his family, his home, his responsibility, his proudest achievement, but not really his friend, or not very often anyway.
I know he calls him his buddy to Jesse. I'd love if there had been any in show acknowledgement that this is something that not only have we not seen Dean do, but we've seen Dean actually give Sam shit for doing--maintain connections. It's different because Cas is in their life, but still. It's a big deal. It's a chosen bond, and it's not remotely familial.
I think he also tells Zachariah his friend Cas taught him the angel-poofing sigil at some point.
