I have a Sam preference, but I absolutely love both boys. Cannot see how anyone can enjoy the show and hate half of the main characters.
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Bi-bro, all the way.
I was initially attracted to Dean, and just wanted to slap Sam for being a whiny brat. That changed in Wendigo, and really, really changed in Faith. By IMTOD, I was almost completely bi-bro. Still am, and expect to continue to be.
I occasionally want to slap sense into one or the other or both of them, but in a totally affectionate way.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I adore Sam. He's just not as sexy as Dean. Dean was pretty much written for me. It's not healthy, but it's true. The smart-assed guy who doesn't have relationships that last more than two months? Yeah, that's the one.

This is me, but with the completely cliched fantasy that *I* would be the one he would fall for.

I think that the people who hate one of the brothers (such as the people who write fanfic, and then put in the author's notes 'I don't own them - if I did Sam would still be dead and Dean and Castiel would be travelling together') obviously don't understand the bond between the two of them. A big part of what defines Dean is his love for Sam, and vice versa (as evidenced by their kind of unhealthy unwillingness to keep sacrificing their lives for each other). They need each other, and Show needs both of them.

Eta: to Amy
Yeah, not with me. My long term pattern is very short term. But for Dean I'd totally hook up again when he came back through town. I'd like to be that sort of special.
to Morgana: yeah, they just wouldn't be as interesting without each other. Even in absentia they drive each other. Neither one can be excised or replaced.

I think that would be a huge warning sign NOT to read. It would all but guarantee that some of the characterization would be absolutely vile.

Definitely NOT on my fanfic reading list. It's boys or nothin'. (Plus, the author has to use correct spelling in the title and summary. Egads.)

If it was a canonical gap, I guess I could read it, but if it's the writer satisfying themselves or exploiting it because of their slant, nosirree.
Just finished "Everybody Loves A Clown." I think Sam gets good grieving, actually. Dean's fit with the crowbar doesn't work for me. I guess I needed something else from JA there. JP--he looked about 12 when Sam admitted to Dean he felt bad about how he left things. Really big and vulnerable. JA played Dean very closed off, but too much so for me in that final moment. I felt the grief he wasn't expressing much more during the rest of the ep.
Nice to see Jo and Ellen introduced (sniff). Monster of the week--well the reveal where he shifts into the rictus is creepy, but other than that, completely forgettable.
