I think I can tell which of the S3 episodes will make my top 5, but I don't want to make a list until I've seen them all. It will be all about the brotherly pain and Sam in pain over Dean.
I'm shocked to hear this!
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oops, did I say "pain" out loud?
Also, hardass Sam. I liked him "We totally have to kill Gordon" and Dean doing a wuss-Sam impersonation that was completely unsubstantiated. Sam might have been sensitive about Harmony needing to be offed, but he's practical at the core.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
One thing I'm not quite sure about in retrospect... it's been shown that angels can bring people back to life, and in fact both sides have threatened to just resurrect people if they kill themselves before the overall plan comes to fruition. So why aren't Michael and Lucifer telling each of the brothers that they'll restore the other to life once the big showdown is concluded if they'll just say yes?

They're going to trash the world in their altercation, though. The brothers wouldn't want to be responsible for that, even if they had each other.
Though, really, ensuring the other's survival ought to be promise #1.
I think, though, the angels really don't get either of them and what's important. They think they dig the family dynamic, but have it all wrong. Even Michael's "I raised him and I love him, but I must do this" missed the mark.

Yeah, I sort of assumed what was left of the earth isn't something they want to come back to.

Now I'm left with a visual of the two of them huddling in a shower of ash and fire.
The crap that distracts me during a work day...

BOYS!
There's an excellent post-apocalyptic fic (not *this* apocalypse, another sort of surprise one) that I would rec, but it goes places in the end I know you'd rather not. It makes sense in context, as they're the only two people left in the world, but.
Aside from that, it's just fascinating, the author's detail of what's left, what breaks down first, how they survive, etc.

I appreciate your restraint. I'm delicate and just can't handle that that arena. Just can't. My dysfunction only goes so far.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Which one, Amy? You can email me if you'd rather not post a link here.
ita, the short answer is they saw what they had in their actors, and in the chemistry between the actors, and at the time JA was the better actor, so they wrote to his strengths.

JA initially auditioned for Sam, right? I can't wrap my head around that. I'm trying to imagine the Sam Show with JA as lead. Too weird. I really like what we got, with JA in front and JP growing into his role. I can see that as a SamGirl one might be discomfited. But I think they're a great team the way they're configured.
I did wonder from the git go how JP managed to get his name listed first.
