Adrift In The Sky

Some people bring out the worst in you, others bring out the best, and then there are those remarkably rare, addictive ones who just bring out the most. Of everything. They make you feel so alive that you’d follow them straight into hell, just to keep getting your fix...

"[Saying goodbye to Sam and Dean] was the most difficult thing to do, but in the most beautiful way. Because we earned the right to have that moment, and it was special, but it was really difficult and emotional." — Jensen Ackles, spndallas 2023

Three rounds of fan protest and Jensen ignores them to keep going on about wincest. he's truly never beating the allegations

I love weirdcest bro. I love it even more when Sam and Dean are just oblivious to it. Bobby catches them just holding hands while they watch TV and just sort of stares. They notice him there, but their fingers don't separate. It doesn't feel weird or wrong or bad because Sam got hurt, and holding hands is just convenient because it means Dean can keep checking his pulse, because he needs to. It's the only thing that settles him down.

Or when Mary returns, and is living with them in the bunker. She watches Dean cook dinner. Sam's sat at the breakfast bar watching with what she could only describe as adoration in his eyes, a soft smile on his lips. It feels off, but she scolds herself. Tells herself it's a good thing that her boys care for each other so much. But then Dean leans over with a spoon, guiding it to Sam's mouth with that same sort of fondness, and her uneasiness grows until she leaves the room and waits to be called in for dinner.

Or when John walks into the motel room late one evening. One of the three beds in empty, and his eyes land on his boys sharing a bed. Dean's got his arms curled around Sam in an almost protective manner, and Sam is curled up against his chest. Sam's seventeen, Dean is twenty two. John figures the embarrassing position was unintentional. Convinces himself of the fact so clearly that he snaps a photo on his phone to use as blackmail, before 'accidently' kicking the bed and jolting the pair awake. Dean's arm remains around Sam while the brunette blinks blearily, and his oldest starts reaching for his gun.

"Just me, sorry guys. Knocked into the bed. Probably a good thing," he joked, gesturing to them.

Sam looked confused and tired, remaining slumped against his brother. Dean looked pissed. He hadn't moved the arm situated around Sam's waist, and John can't stop fixating on it.

"Just go to bed, dad," Dean sighed, lying down as the adrenaline left him. He brought Sam down with him, who went easily, returning his head the Dean's chest.

"...right," John muttered, heading to the bathroom.

He deleted the photo, and resisted the urge to burn the phone completely.

[hologramcowboy]

Hi I’d just like to add on to this post: https://www.tumblr.com/hologramcowboy/814329376231538688/httpswwwtumblrcomhologramcowboy8141713574138

I was the anon that sent this ask a couple of years ago to @the-analytical-bostie (I would send screenshots of the posts, but can’t due to wanting to stay anonymous so here’s the link):

https://www.tumblr.com/the-analytical-bostie/765415930484359168/i-met-misha-not-long-ago-at-a-con-and-i-have-such

I shared my own experience with Misha because I felt like I had no one to talk to. I don’t have many irl friends that are fans or have even watch the show. And the friends I’ve made online through the fanfiction community, well I haven’t felt like I’ve been able to share my feelings because most people love him.

I still have really bad anxiety over my experience and still feel really embarrassed over the whole thing. I can 100% say I believe all the people that have had bad experiences with him. I’ve never met Jared or Jensen. But after meeting Misha my whole perspective changed on wanting to ever meet an actor I admire ever again. The only one I’d like to meet now is probably Jared because I’ve only heard good things about him from other fans.

Anyway, I’m still so grateful that I got to confide in @the-analytical-bostie privately afterwards. I have a new tumblr @ now so Idk if I can still message them to say thank you. But I remember how nice It was/still is knowing that some people can actually see through the façade.

Like I said the experience still haunts and it’s been a few years lol. Ngl I’m tearing up thinking about the whole thing.

I guess the reason why I’m adding to this whole thing is so other fans think before they meet actors of the characters they love. Just because actors like Misha project this happy and nice persona online, doesn’t mean that’s actually what they’re like.

I hope no fan experiences what I did and I really hope I never ever meet him again.

I am so sorry you had such a horrible experience, Anon. Sending you love and looking forward to you meeting Jared!

“IATSE is the union that [represents] crews. A couple years ago, they were in contract negotiations. Because of injuries & deaths, they were SPECIFICALLY focused on long hours being a safety issue. What the union wanted (and still needs to get) was 12-hrs on/12-off. You might think this sounds crazy because of how normalized extremely long hours are on set (often 16-18hrs), but they had [12-hrs on/12-off] up until '89 -- with double-time pay for overages.

During COVID, the entertainment unions were able to get 10-hour limits on sets due by arguing the immune responses of being overworked. AMPTP (obvs) did NOT want these [hours] normalized. What does this have to do with Walker? IATSE leaders were left fighting hard to even negotiate 14-hours-on/10-off. AMPTP argued: "No, that's impossible!"

Here's the problem. Walker was already doing [less than] this. Successfully. Without needing to add a whole bunch of extra days to the schedule. So, during negotiations, IATSE finds out this proof of concept exists and starts asking [Walker’s crew] questions about [how it’s done]. This means they could use [Walker] as leverage at the table. [What was considered] impossible was suddenly possible.

So, IN PART because Walker cared enough to make this happen, to give their set a work-life balance, to make it Disneyland so people can see their kids/go to doctors' appointments/not be a danger on the road, IATSE had [Walker] in their back pocket to negotiate [for 14-hours-on/10-hours-off work days] (with some caveats).”

———————-

I brought this up a while ago but couldn’t remember the source. I just came across it again today, unfortunately cause of anti’s trying to smear Jared’s reputation in the industry again. Everything is confirmed by Walker’s script coordinator btw, in the podcast episode that’s linked in the tweet (timestamp 52:45). He even said they would sometimes work as low as 8 hours.

Yeah, I do love how they're so threatened by him they have to try to smear his reputation. Unfortunately for them, it won't do anything, as it's right there in black and white how the Walker set was run. And anyone with two brains knows when something is planted without anything to back it up.

Low key sucks but hey, I just needed to post again

[according2thelore]

hi! so i adore the idea that regardless of childhood trauma bonding/littermate syndrome lol sam and dean in a normal world would still be unable to be normal about each other (like in your fic he lives for me, says he lives for me, or this one https://archiveofourown.org/works/11311674) - do you happen to have any similar recs? love your work so much!!

hi, anon!

oooh i so absolutely do!!

Engraftment by sammyatstanford [private]

Rating: NR, Words: 8.2k, Warnings: Chose Not To Use SUMMARY: Sam’s skin is cool through the latex as Dean strokes over the thready blue veins under the transparent skin at his wrists. His brother doesn’t so much as stir at the touch, and Dean presses, digs his fingers in beside the prominent tendon until he can feel the faint thump of Sam’s pulse. It’s supposed to be reassuring, a reminder that despite everything Sam’s still alive, but it’s not. [REC NOTE: ohhhh god. this is one of my favorite samdean fics of all TIME. such a classic, so so so so good. it also comes with a smutty lil fun sequel, definitely check it out!]

Baba O'Riley and Eleanor Rigby Walk into a Bar by sammehsaym

Rating: E, Words: 33.3k, Warnings: Attempted Suicide SUMMARY: When Dean Winchester was four years old he almost lost his younger brother for the first time to a fire. When Dean Winchester was eighteen he almost lost his brother a second time to a full bathtub and a pack of sleeping pills, citing some decidedly unbrotherly feelings in his suicide note. At twenty-two he's about to lose him for a third time to Stanford University. [REC NOTE: this one is a bit of a fandom classic, and i'd thought for a long time that i'd never read it, but it turns out i absolutely did and just completely forgot. this one IS on livejournal, so read sooner rather than later--i downloaded a pdf so i could keep that thing on me, lol!] EDIT: on ao3 HERE!

Coming Home by catnipster (@catnipster69)

Rating: E, Words: 30.4k, Warnings: Major Character Death SUMMARY: Non-magical AU: After John dies of cancer, Sam and Dean move in with Bobby in Denver. Dean joins the family business: Bobby's Broadway Bagels. But Sam leaves home at 18 to become a fancy chef in California. Six years later, Sam comes back to help Dean after Bobby dies. When Dean acts on the long simmering sexual tension between them, Sam isn't sure of Dean's motives. Is Dean—and the bagel shop—enough to keep Sam in Denver? After all, Sam left for a reason. Inspired by “The Bear.” [REC NOTE: sooooo cute]

You Promise? by fromthecoffin

Rating: E, Words: 735, Warnings: Chose Not To Use SUMMARY: It's Deanna's first day of high school and Sam has to reassure her that everything will be alright. [REC NOTE: fem!dean and age!swap, just a little interlude of normal!life]

I'm Burning for You by fictionallemons (@fictionallemons)

Rating: E, Words: 79.9k, Warnings: Rape/Non-Con SUMMARY: Dean and Sam Winchester's lives haven't been the same since their mother was murdered. John's unstable, keeps them moving around the country supposedly looking for the man who murdered Mary. Dean longs to get Sam away, to give him a chance at a more normal life. He finally breaks them free after John does something unforgivable. With Bobby's help, they start over in California, just the two of them against the world. Six years later, Sam's off to Stanford and Dean has to face his demons if he's ever going to make it without Sam by his side. Note: This is a slow burn, with a happy ending for Dean and Sam, but along the way each brother has relationships with other people. [REC NOTE: this fic has been on my list for a while, and i haven't gotten the chance to read it yet, but lemons is one of my fave wincest writers period and i absolutely trust that they've crushed it on this one as well!]

whatever we have between us, whatever it is by jadolis

he lives for me, says he lives for me by according2thelore [lol!]

RATING: E, Words: 14.1k, Warnings: Underage Sex SUMMARY: In a world where monsters don't exist, and Sam and Dean are raised normally by two parents, things between them come to a head at a Halloween party. Some things are inevitable like that. [REC NOTE: the fic anon is talking about, lol!]

i am soooooo obsessed with normal!AU samdean it's kind of crazy. i really wanted to write one for wayward sons this year, but i couldn't justify it, haha! i've been slowly nurturing a normal!AU that i don't have the bandwidth or time to write, but here's the first few lines:

Sam Winchester dies at age ten. He doesn’t stay dead, mind you, but he does die. For six minutes and thirteen seconds, Dean Winchester is an only child. He screams the entire time.

but thank you so much, anon! he lives for me is one of my fave fics that i've done and i was a lil bummed when folks didn't like it as much as some of the other ones in that month's challenge.

(btw at pub trivia, i correctly said that "around the world" by daft punk came out in summer 1997 and my friends were so confused and surprised, but i couldn't say it's because i was researching songs that would reasonably be played at a halloween party in 1998, lol!)

thank you sm for your kind words!! i hope you enjoy some of the fics, and if you want more (i have some that are adjacent (i.e., a parent trap au, omegaverse non hunting aus, etc.)) pls come back around! :)

mwah mwah mwah!

Help

You know u need to get a life when you draw Sam x Dean instead of some normal ship like a sane person. Wincest is the best Supernatural ship and no one can change my mind.

[nothingidputbeforeyou]

something i wrote but didn't wanna post

“Have you ever been in love?” Sam asks him in Oklahoma.

The question blindsides Dean. Jesus Christ, they’re enjoying a rare moment after a hunt, leaning against the car and knocking back a pint, and it’s just like Sam to utterly knock him off kilter.

Dean contemplates not answering him, but Sam is like a dog with a bone. If Dean doesn’t answer him now, he will dissect Dean’s silence, scratching at every nook and cranny of Dean’s thoughts until he’s satisfied.

It’s so not worth it.

So, Dean figures, what the hell.

“Once,” he tells Sam shortly, hoping Sam will let it go now. Maybe Sam will think it’s Cassie and leave it alone. But of course it’s Sam, so of course he doesn’t.

“How did it end?” Sam asks him after a moment, his voice quiet like he’s expecting Dean to reveal the secrets of the universe.

Dean glances at him from the corner of his eyes. Sam is staring down at the dirt beneath his worn boots, shoulders slumped like the weight of everything is resting on them. His hands are fidgeting idly with the empty beer bottle, and it occurs to Dean not for the first time that his brother is beautiful. 

It’s not something he’s proud of but it is a part of him that cannot be faded with time. Dean would know; he’s tried enough times already. Buried himself in hunts, in women, in everything that would have him. It is what it is. Water is wet, the sky is blue, and Dean loves Sam.

“It hasn’t.”
