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

Okay, said author has made me mad.

Sam's fiancée is named Sarah, and it doesn't seem to be that Sarah. Why would you do that, except for not paying attention to history?

I found an early fic to see if they'd explain if it's her (no, it definitely seems to be someone new), and it contains this:

They drink wine after dinner, a strange change from their normal hard liquor and countless beers. No one complains - not even Bobby. Both Sam and Bobby seem to be making an effort towards self-betterment for their ladies' sake.

And I just...I can't. It feels like you're being judgy judgy on the whole show, and saying that Bobby is stopping drinking for Jodi--well, she wanted to drink the whiskey from Rufus too. Stop putting all that on the "girl" in the relationship, just like you're putting it on Cas as Dean stops drinking so much for him too.

It's just...it weirds me out.

Because books.

I know an alcoholic who drank nothing but wine. It's a completely pointless distinction, and sexist on top of it.

My reaction to that intro is: Baby, no! God, you Winchesters kill me.

I get the impression the author thinks she's both neutering and classing up Sam and Dean, with all the stupid narrow-minded assumptions that entails.

I feel like that's pretty much throwing the baby out with the bathwater...well, not exactly, but, well, they are totally watching the show wrong. So there.

I'm afraid I wouldn't classify that so much cute as Precious Moments-creepy.

I'm surprised it's not animated and eating my soul. I mean, my soul does feel more eaten than it was before I first saw it.

Very true. I expect pastel ceramic figurines to start stalking us all.

Can that be a creepy monster that the boys investigate?

That's too cute even for me.

Oh, my. Yeah, the eyes have thoroughly creeped me out. I thought we had a new type of demon for minute. Ick.
