I bet they were. Even they saw the rightness of it.
I am bucking the trend again and confessing to not seeing it. I would have bought Dean/Jo eventually and I totally would have bought John/Ellen. In fact, John/Ellen would have been scorching hot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm not down with the John/Ellen. However, I have read some John/Jo with interest, although not with total conviction.
Demographics of SPN fic. Apparently there's currently more D/C than Wincest. Damn. But additively--there hasn't been a dropoff in Wincest volume since S4.
Also, Dean usually bottoms in Wincest? WTF? There's a usual? What's up with that?
She's got graphs. Man, there is no het. Poor Ellen.

Because books.
There *were* graphs! That was awesome.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's manipulative and melodramatic, and it still kicked my tear ducts into gear. The lyrics sell it. And it's "part one," which implies eventual more parts. Lucifer's Cage.

"Sassy"? It's a thing? I mean, yeah, mooseboy needs some lovin', so why not with Cas. But, Sassy?

I personally think that John/Ellen and Dean/Ellen are not mutually exclusive. But then I'm like that.

I love the portmanteau Sassy. Mostly because I can't take the pairing seriously, even as I call out every Sassy moment onscreen. I think it's wrong.
Then again, not as wrong as some reincarnated John/Castiel I read. That was just...not with your son's angel. Dude, have boundaries.
eta: I had a dream in which I read a fic summary wherein Sam pledged a frat in order to try and establish replacement brotherhood in his life, and it failed miserably. Now I'm interested in seeing the fic for real.

I always found John/Jo a little squicky. Mostly because I think John/Ellen is a sure bet, but also because, hello, Jo would have been a BABY. And then daddy issues ahoy and ... No.

I think all of the John/Jo I've read has been AU enough that they played with her age a bit. How old is she supposed to be?

Well, she had been to college, but hadn't liked it, so I'm going to say maybe twenty? But iirc, Ellen said they hadn't seen John in quite a while when she first meets the boys, which would have made Jo a teenager.
