Whenever deep emotional relationships are shown on TV slash basically writes itself. We are not used to seeing men showing their emotions or weaknesses in the media. Unfortunately SPN gave us two extremely nice specimen and even though they are brothers on the show fandom automatically saw the sex as a natural progression. They love each other, they are even depending on each other, they are all they have left and it would be much too risky to let a civilian or anyone else into their demonic world.
In the beginning Kripke and the writers gave us some funny gay jokes because, to be honest, it is not the normal thing to travel around with your bro and to share practically everything. They share the same room, brush their teeth together, they are much more like an old couple for me but an old couple which doesn't have sex. I swear I tried reading wincest, I'm reading slash now for 10 years but it never worked for me. Maybe also because I have a brother and it's just a disgusting thought for me. It's too unrealistic to become physical love. As I said before, the writers added some jokes, then it somehow got out of hand. Manners is most probably still forwarding wincesty fics to everyone on set, Jim Beaver keeps wearing weird t-shirts and even Kripke now calls it „bromance“(which made me shriek, I can't laugh atm since I have a terrible influenza and my thoughts are completely jumbled, hooray!). In a way bromance really sums it up. SPN's appeal is Sam and Dean's relationship (I also blame the actors for it). And Kripke knows it even if he started the show with a different premise.
What works really well are the demonic possessions. Whether it was John, Sam or Samuel ... and I just realized that Dean is totally victimized here lol Don't we just love him pinned to a wall or a chair? Anyways, the only slash fics which work for me, apart from the demon ones, is J2. I just hate to admit it but sometimes I wished they would stop playing around with the wincest undertones in real life. Can they not be a little more subtle about it? They are feeding the fans and I feel so overweight and can hardly digest that they are living together or take care of each other's eyelashes ... adds also fuel to the wincest fire :P
Thank God they have added Castiel ... now Sam needs a male demon for himself.
