That didn't happen. Dean plainly didn't say yes, and even more importantly, Sam said yes and flipped Lucifer the bird, because the power of love did win the day

Kaylee: Can I? Zoe: Sure. He's out, though. Kaylee: He did this for me, once.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
they made choices within the destiny they were given.
How does Dean saying no fit within the destiny they were given?
Sam subverted an angel. I thought him resisting Famine's ultimate temptation was big, but this? If I weren't so in love with Dean, I'd be the biggest Sam!Girl ever.

True. And a mighty effort it was. Their destiny was to save the world, at whatever cost, and they did that.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I know irl streetlights burn out all the time but in fiction it only happens for a reason.

Was that their destiny? I mean - that is what they chose - but I thought that the fate that they were fighting involved them ending the world.

I'm not sure what your objection was. Did you want our heroes to not save the world? They were told they needed to participate in its ruin, and they didn't.
If they didn't save the world, they wouldn't be Winchesters. They've grown from two boys dragged along in a vengeance trip to two men who were ultimately willing to sacrifice everything (i.e. each other) for everyone else.
I wouldn't want anything else for them. That is their beautiful story, besides their relationship.

Then I'm glad you were happy with the resolution.
I'm relieved there's somewhere to go from here.

I have had more than my fair share of streetlights burn out as I walk under them. It creeps me out.

Beverly, narratively, they were destined to save the world. Inside their universe, they were destined to lay it to waste. They didn't. So I'm confused about you saying they succumbed to destiny.

It's very Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
