I'll Take Their Relationship In Any Form - Tumblr Posts

Have a headcanon that every soul has it's "guardians". That to reach your very core, you must go through these guardians until they allow you to go through.

Now imagining Dean going inside Sam to find his soul. Sam is shattered from his time in the cage, the wall breaking, and Gadreels possession, and literally everything else. His soul is weak and giving up against his will.

Dean is told that he can save Sam. He must venture through Sam and find his soul.

He's taken to a vast void. He meets various versions of Sam, from Soulless to Stanford to Cold Oak. Each one was harder to convince to let him through than the last.

He meets a young Sam last, tough but surprisingly forgiving. It makes Dean soft seeing how Sam's being is reflected here.

The void shifts and he sees a present day appear on young Sam's lap. He's asleep as young Sam strokes his hair.

Dean is about to approach when he's stopped by an invisible wall.

"What the?"

"I'm not the end of the road, De."

"What? Then who is??"

"I am."

Dean hears his own voice.

He's confused. Why is he here?

See, soul guardians often take the image of the person they protect. The last guardian often look like someone's most inner reflection of their being. It varies from person to person.

There are special cases though. And those are soulmates.

Soulmates are tied together in more ways than one. If the soulmates' bond is so strong, their soul takes the other's likeness and turns them into a guardian.

For the last guardian to have a person's soulmate's face.. well.
