I wholeheartedly agree with this, much as I love them.
Me too.

But Castiel could totally buy it.
In some of my more disgruntled moments I find myself thinking that Castiel is really not all that effective anyway, ya know? Pretty to look at, fun to snicker at, but he doesn't really provide that much useful information or firepower or backup. He's not really any more effective a backup than any of the earthly allies the Winchesters might come across, so losing him, while it might be hurtful, wouldn't be a huge gaping hole on the Loss side of the Win/Loss chart.

Well, Castiel is essentially a messenger - that's why he was sent to Dean in the first place, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I rewatched A Very Supernatural Christmas last night, and I'd forgotten how much I loved that episode. Apart from Dean needing too much explanation, that is.
The brotherly dynamics are great. Most of the time I'm a DeanGirl, but my heart was breaking for Sam in this one, in both the present and the past. The actor that played Wee!Sam did a great job with heartbreak. And JP did a great job being reduced to a kid who's going to lose his big brother, and who decides to man up, even if not all the way up to saying "I love you."

Isn't that Wee!Sam actor good?
Apparently, he takes the role very seriously and has discussion with JP and JA about Sam and how Sam would react to things.

Because books.
Sam's gas station Christmas nearly broke me.
And wee!Sam is wonderful.

That youthful diligence is absolutely adorable.
I also came across a piece of trivia that JP spiked the eggnog he gave JA. I wish I'd known that before I deleted the ep off my TiVo. I'd like to have watched the scene again for his real reaction.

Really?! Heh. I remember he did seem to feel the burn.
