Supernatural 2: Why is it our job to save everybody?  

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the CW series Supernatural! Anything that's aired in the US on TV (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though — if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Because books.

For each other, you mean?

And what do you mean, above the fold? (I know what "above the fold" means in newspaperspeak, but I'm not getting how you're using it.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, for each other. I mean, they were killed to torment each other and drive angst and (questionable) decisions. And, of course, to upset us.

By above the fold I just meant they were never going to stay dead. But they were killed to angst up each other.

Ah, gotcha.

OR THE GUYS WHO KILLED SAM AND DEAN. I HOPE THEY SUFFERED MASSIVE LOSSES.

Sam spent several hours having his anger freely indulged by the utterly ruthless second-most-powerful incarnate being in the Supernatural universe. I suspect things Did Not Turn Out Well for Roy and Walt.

There's a not small part of me that really really enjoys that scenario.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think I disagree with the characterization of them being fridged for each other, especially in Dean's case, because the deaths were part of the characters own narrative arc. Unless I'm thinking of a different instance than you were, ita. Dean for John? Maybe...

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Okay, has the penny dropped earlier, and I'm just now getting the Disney ref?

I can't remember, Bev! But now it seems so obvious. Heh.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I'm working my way through the DA crossover, and am extremely amused with every single character falling in love with woobie/psychotic/feral Dean. That is, when I'm not being confused by the whiplash of shifting attitudes and motivations.
