──★˙. He's determined to raise him better than John raised him and Sam. He's always been adamant on this--the idea of his kid falling into the same routine he did as a child petrifies him.
──★˙. They roughhouse constantly. Nerf-Gun wars, backyard wrestling--you name it. It gives you a heart attack every time.
──★˙. Dean never reads him fairytales. Only comic books. Captain America, Batman, Ghost Rider. Your baby always falls asleep in his arms.
──★˙. Dean always saves his drawings. Especially if the ones are of Dean as a superhero. It wrecks him every time--he thinks he doesn't deserve it, but he seriously does. He just doesn't see it like you do.
──★˙. He calls him “Buddy,” “Champ,” or “Little Man.” It makes his son beam. Sometimes Dean says “Kiddo,” just like John did to him—but only when he’s soft, never when he’s angry.
──★˙. They watch monster movies together, but Dean pretends they’re fake. Dean wants his kid to believe in the boogeyman only when he’s old enough to handle the truth.
CHARACTER / PAIRING: Sam x Reader, Dean x Reader (separately, can be read as romantic or platonic, depending on how you wish to interpret these)
GENRE: Angst
NOTES & WARNINGS: Impending doom, obviously implied (future) character death, hurt/comfort, mourning
A/N: Thanks to @castielscaplan for requesting this. First of all, I freakin' love "how would character A react" requests!!! Keep 'em coming, please. Secondly, I'll do this one in two ways, as in: "How would Reader react to Character selling their soul and how would Character react to Reader selling their soul?" I hope it makes sense, lmao.

Sam selling his soul for you:
He's convinced he can cheat death. Some loophole in the contract, a cunning way to sneak his way out of it, whatever it takes.
It doesn't matter at that pressing moment anyway. Bringing you back has priority, the rest he can deal with later.
At first he doesn't want to tell you, but he knows you'll find out one way or another. It's during a random conversation when he brings it up casually, explaining to you what happened and how you're off the hook.
Sam's not the type to sugarcoat, but he's also confident enough to brush it off, like it's no big deal. You're not sure if he's being cocky or stupid.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. What matters is that you're back."
You beg to differ. Of course you do. He's not serious enough about it and no matter how many times he assures you that this was his decision, that it was not your fault, you can't help but worry.
Sam takes full responsibility for the situation. At the same time he doesn't argue when you say "We are in this together." When you offer to help, the two of you are a team in this. Sleepless nights and hours of research are easier to endure together.
You selling your soul for Sam:
The survivor guilt is strong in this one.
To get it out of the way immediately: He is not angry at you. How could he be after you sacrificed your life for his? He can't be upset with you, ever, even if he'd want to be. He definitely thinks it was the wrong thing to do, though he doesn't hold it against you.
That said, he's scared. He won't leave a stone unturned until he finds a way to save you from such a cruel fate. There has to be something he can do and he'll try everything.
Once you say anything along the lines of "You'd do the same for me." he has no counter argument.
Now, I think his reaction / way to deal with this depends heavily on when this happens.
- Is it after Dean has done the same for him? If so, he'll enter a straight up villain arc. He's familiar with the consequences in this scenario and there's no way he'll let you go through what his brother had to endure.
- If it's earlier than that (any time before season 3), he'll feel a lot more hopeless. Not that it will stop him from trying everything. He's not giving up. But it's a different kind of pain because he doesn't know what awaits you.
Dean selling his soul for you:
No brainer. Dean sacrificing himself for others yet again? Shocker. You're probably disappointed but not surprised.
In all seriousness, he doesn't bat an eye doing it. His #1 task is to protect you, always, no matter the cost.
His soul is stained anyway, worthless, especially in comparison to yours. What's one less soldier on the battlefield when it means his sacrifice ensures your safety?
He can't keep any secrets from you. You're too clever for that, and you deserve to know the truth.
Though, he's very uncomfortable with the conversation. He'll try and change the topic. He'll play it down. Anything to reassure you that he's not worth the trouble, let alone any tears or you being worried about him.
Similar to Sam, the timing would make a huge difference:
- Is it the first time he's selling his soul? Quite similar to how he brought back Sam. In a state of desperation, broken and willing to throw his life away in a heartbeat.
- If it happens sometime after season 3-4, the weight of his decision is even heavier. If you'd ask him (good luck on trying to get him to talk), he'll probably say something along the lines of "It's not my first rodeo, I know how to deal with it this time." Honestly, in this setting his chances might be bigger to actually fend off the hell-hounds. And even if not, he's stubborn enough to stand by what he did. No regrets.
You selling your soul for Dean:
You better hope he won't find out. Unless you want your head ripped off before the hell-hounds can even catch your scent.
It's Dean's job to take care of others, not to be taken care of. That's how he was raised. To him this is not right. Your sacrifice goes against nature because of your motivation more than because of the act itself.
He's going to lash out when he learns the truth. Which he's going to regret. He knows he'll regret raising his voice at you, but what did you expect? This man is all self-hatred and anger and then there's you, the only good thing in his life, and it's his fault that he's going to lose that now, too.
It'll take him days, if not a week or two, before he's willing to talk to you again. It'll take way longer than that until he can look you in the eyes. Not because he hates you, never because he hates you. Just because this hurts way more than dying.
After cooling down a little bit, he won't leave your side. If the hell-hounds want to rip you apart, they have to get past him first.
So like yk how everybody says dean can't cool I somewhat stand by that.
It's been said before that he can only cook like three things and he's really good at making those things but everything else he awful at and I agree with that but for like... S1-s15 dean yk the entirety of the show
but past s15 dean (because whatever the ending was that your thinking of right now and telling me that it can't work is wrong and you must be imagining things bc I have no idea what your talking about) and maybe like... Idk sometimes before, they would've had to be in the bunker. Perhaps like s10+ anyways. I think considering how much he loves food he definitely started trying to learn how to make more stuff and yes he sucked at first but he kept doing it anyways bc he loves food. And he got good at it.
Self projecting here but he really likes making pancakes, yes they're simple but it's fun to flip them and they're sooo fluffy
so... Dean stopped using jewelry (mainly the ring he wore in the first seasons) CONVENTIONALLY after Sam went to the cage with Lucifer using RINGS to open the portal and we're just going to accept this and pretend these things are not related? okay-
Okay, so does anyone have opinions or hc’s of what would dean would have majored in or have studied if he went to college?
Like Ik it’s no surprise Sam went for law. Nor that dean would have liked being a mechanic or firefighter. And I also know going to uni is not like a “have to” by any means, but I’m just curious?
I know that sounds boring to some, but uh...they’re wrong.
Dean (and especially his oral fixation) loves it. Sex is an escape, the more sensation, the more skin he can feel the better. Missionary gives him access to as much of you as possible. It’s intimate, it’s versatile. He’s so strong it isn’t hard for him to change the angle of your hips, hold your legs open for him. He can go as gentle and slow or as rough as he needs.
I’d say close second is girl on top, and then doggy and then uh anything cuz sex.
Noah fence but would u ever post more femslash headcanons? I really loved the ones you did about Dean, Sam, and Cas! They were all 10/10 good shit tm. Do you have any headcanons about fem!Dean and Cas specifically?
Fem!Dean
Ok so fem!dean would 12/10 be into more masculine activities because John needs someone to help out around the shop. Dean probs takes woodshop and auto for gun, but she wants to be an engineer so she’s super hype about physics and math too.
She probably dresses in either coveralls or jeans and a t-shirt (she doesn’t do shorts, ok). Hair is probably long and thick and she either puts it up in a bun under a ball cap or she wears it in a braid because it’s too hot/heavy otherwise. Her shoe collection consists of work boots, sneakers, and worn out flip flops.
Dean’s got a reputation for being a bisexual flirt, and most of the student body has an eye on her at some point. She doesn’t realize it though because her belly is a bit pudgy. She probably got a big ass and massive tits. Thunder thighs for dayyyyys.
Dean is also well-known for sneaking her fingers up her best friend’s skirt.
──★˙. He brushes compliments off like they're nothing. Especially when they're about him, and not his work, nor what he's done. When you genuinely tell him you're proud of him, he goes quiet. Real quiet. He doesn't know what to do when kindness is handed to him that he believes he hasn't earned.
──★˙. When he sees you talking to someone he thinks is better than him--someone softer, smarter, more stable... he distances himself. It takes time for him to admit, "I don't know what you see in me."
──★˙. Dean keeps things of yours tucked away in his space. Your hair tie on the gearshift, a note you wrote months ago in his wallet, a polaroid of you tucked in his sun visor. Not because he's sentimental (he denies it every time), but because he can't believe you're his, and he needs proof of it.
──★˙. He doesn't believe in forever. So when you're talking about the future with him, growing old, life after hunting... he listens like it's a bedtime story. It's something he wants to believe in, even if he doesn't think it's for him.
──★˙. After fights, even small arguments, he'll think he's pushed it too far. That maybe this time, you'll finally leave. He'll work on Baby--or pretend to--until you come find him to tell him you're not going anywhere.
──★˙. He's never sure how to ask for reassurance. So instead, Dean gives it to you, even when he's running on empty. When you realise exactly what he's doing, you have to remind him, "you don't have to carry it all, Dean," and he'll reply, "I don't know how to put it down."
