"Yeah, that makes perfect sense and fits into the SPN universe."
Ah, I'm so glad to hear you say this. Even if it's not something people WANT to believe, that doesn't make it meritless.
You're quite right about Dean's unique place as a character with no sense of self outside of his brother, although at least Show is going into the true consequences of that, which is to say, a complete lack of self-worth ends up profoundly destructive to everyone that person knows, especially the object of their "love" ... and that's one of the reasons I love SPN, is that it goes deep into stuff virtually no other show does. Yet ...
I wish the writers would stop treading the same waters and see about going in a different direction.
I could not agree with you more on this. It's almost getting to the point of ridiculousness, especially since it's all the same (implausible--how many apocalypses do we really need?) thing again and again.
There are people who are clamoring for a tragic ending to the series, and I can see their perspective, but man, I'm clamoring for a happy one, or at least as happy as these boys could manage.
So glad you liked the fic! I prefer Sam and Dean as their own people, myself, of course, but exploring this idea helped me come to terms with where the show is going now.
