I love this idea.
Same here.
In a lot of ways, I think the Men of Letters 'legacy' idea is just another way to show that Sam and dean were screwed over, destiny-wise, even before they were born.
Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet in huge combat boots. Shut up!

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

The biggest thing it does for me is make the arranged relationship sound less like Heaven forced together two kids who hated each other, less like it was random, and more than a bit like breeding the best monster killers EVER.
And since that's my favourite head canon (though John is in some ways better than they are--self taught, late starter, and apparently more analytical (ohhhh) than either of the boys) I am all about literal :Legacy, inelegant as it is.

Because books.
In over-invested fan news, I always feel a little guilty that I listen to my Sam playlist more than my Dean playlist.
Sigh.

Is your Dean playlist songs Dean would like, or songs that are good matches for the character.
Me, I'm feeling guilty that I'm doing just Dean and Cas all month. I tried to get Sam into one (in a non Wincestiel way, natch), and it was all awkward and elbows and why is he looking???
But i have three weeks left. I may start drawing creeper!Sam just because I've run out of either ideas or steam or both.

Playlists? Aroo?

Because books.
I have playlists with songs that suit each character, not songs they would necessarily listen to.
I can send later!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You think being potential vessels for Michael and/or Lucifer(I forget exactly how that worked, but it was a Winchester thing right?) is connected to the Men of Letters legacy thing?

I have a whole outsider POV story in my head called Building the Perfect Hunter now.
I'll type up the list of songs and then anyone who wants it can let me know. And I'll ... try to remember how to zip up a file like that.
