Headcanon: Sam and Dean are reincarnated knights of the Round Table.
Dean is Gwaine. He’s the very embodiment of ‘nobility is defined by what you do, not who you are’. He’s supposed to be this crazy Winchester guy, but he’s one of the kindest souls out there. Yes, he’s similar on the surface (the drinking, the sex, the crazy adventures), but the heart and soul is the same as Sir Gwaine’s. It doesn’t hurt that they’re both drawn (romantically or platonically, your choice) to a dark-haired, blue-eyed man with extraordinary powers and an awkward sensibility that hides master sass, just saying.
Sam is Mordred, in all the ways that counts. He was set up for a grand, albeit horrible, destiny. In spite of that, he is kind and compassionate and loyal to those he carers about. Many people don’t trust him because he’s Lucifer’s Vessel, but he’s not like that. Unlike Mordred, he stepped away from his destiny and ended up becoming a better person. He’s no longer ‘the Boy King’, he’s Sam.
This is what makes me think they’re the reincarnated forms. The parts of their subconscious that belong to their previous lives are telling them not to make the same choices they did. That’s why Sam isn’t Lucifer’s vessel, because Mordred is telling him to defy his destiny. That’s why Dean always looks after those he cares about so closely, because Gwaine is telling him to not let anyone go easily, the way he let Merlin go.
Other knights have come back, too:
Benny is Lancelot. Loyal to a fault, willing to die for the people he cares about.
Garth is Elyan. He’s the one who just wants to look out for his family, which just so happen to be the Winchesters.
Kevin is Leon. Leon, the noble knight who always thought first, and was eerily perceptive. In the end, though, he would do anything for the Winchesters
Charlie is Perceval. Strong and intelligent, with a close bond to Dean, and a keen, observant eye.
This idea pleases me. I might turn it into a fic.
