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.

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.
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...
Roy and Walt
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'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.
Catching up in the thread...
But if she just got killed by some random demon she knew nothing about one night, apologising is kinda weird, no? Especially just to Sam.
Azazel showed Sam a "high-def instant replay" of the night Mary died in AHBL part the first. She ran back into the bedroom for Sam and recognized Azazel, saying "It's you," and Sam then learned that Mary knew Azazel. For me, that answered the question as to why Mary said "I'm sorry" to Sam in Home.
