There Are Only Two Characters Who Appeared In Every Single Episode Of That Show.

There are only two characters who appeared in every single episode of that show.

Remind me again who they were?

Oh, yeah...

you’ll never guess what show this is about

Sam discovers he is pregnant after a month or so at Stanford. He feels he can’t tell Dean because if you walk out that door don’t come back (yes, that was John, but the whole vibe). Dean doesn’t realize at first why Sam has a kid around when he goes to get him at the start of the series.

YOOOOO NOOOO SHUT THE FUCK UP. It takes Dean an EMBARRASSINGLY long amount of time to be like, “Whoa, wait… this little boy looks A LOT like ME.”

Story from a trans fan (deanjksmith) who met Jensen

If you're trying to flatter your way into my pants, it's working. 🤩

what who said that

Jokes aside, the idea that something I wrote inspired that same possessiveness in you that I feel for them is just divine. 😭💖 Even if it does kind of shoot me in the foot by making you hesitate to read outside of that even in my own fics. 😂

Writing the threesome was hard, but not for the reason you might think. I don't know if you noticed one of the tags I used in some of the Sandman fics, but it was "Castiel Ships Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester". In this 'verse, he's as invested in their love for each other as we are. So it comes back to that lack of threat from an interloper, you know? I don't read Destiel either and have never had any inclination towards it; like you said, it raises my SamDeanOTP feral-mother-cat-protecting-kittens hackles. Even full-on Wincestiel would have to have a really specific dynamic (with Sam and Dean acknowledged as the primary love) to appeal to me, and it'd have to be a personal rec for me to come across it at this point anyway, since I don't go looking. With all the delicious Wincest-only fics out there to read, I don't need to.

But I'm getting off track. In the Sandman threesome, as the author, I obviously knew where I wanted things to end up–SamDean into the sunset–but as you said, with many authors, the journey is often not set in stone in the same way. And yeah, sometimes it even takes you so far off course that the ending changes completely from what you first intended. 🤦‍♀️ Staying on track is sometimes down to having a structured outline of what you're planning to write (not something I did with Sandman), and sometimes it's just the "muse" playing nice. I could go into that whole thing since you mentioned struggling to understand it, but honestly, I would struggle to articulate it. I'm sure smarter authors have expounded on it at length in more coherent ways anyway. (If anyone seeing this can share a good read on the subject or is inspired to post about it, please do!)

So the toughest part of the Sandman threesome was getting the dynamic right. That balance of Sam and Dean to the exclusion of all others while someone else is physically and emotionally involved, even if that someone was and would remain only a beloved friend, was really tough sometimes. As much as I described above that he was no threat, I had to make sure that came across to readers who didn't have the (questionable) benefit of being inside my head. My alpha reader and BFF @sam-is-my-safe-word talked me through more than one tantrum trying to get it right, let me tell you.

Anyway, I've probably rambled on far more than anyone wanted on the subject, so I'll leave it there. 😅 I'm super grateful to you for sharing your thoughts as a reader. These kinds of insights are manna for a fanfic author, and I'm in heaven. 🙌🥰

If/when you do end up reading on in the 'verse, I would be so grateful if you felt inclined to share your thoughts again. There's still zero rush or pressure, but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be incredibly curious to hear one day how you feel about it all in the end, knowing your trepidation beforehand. I certainly hope it leaves you in a good place, but even if not, you know?

Regardless, thank you so much again. All the thanks. Big huge enormous thanks forever. 💐💝

i really can’t be the only person who’s been a multishipper for all of my fandom history. BUT . for SOMMEEE god forsaken reason when it comes to supernatural i just cant. if i see sam and dean with anyone else other than eachother i go coocoo for coco puffs
