SAM WINCHESTER in profile ➤ 13/?

and it’s just amazing to witness because he has this ‘little brother’ fierce protective instinct toward his older sibling that, even if you take the romantic aspect of wincest away, is so endearing to see. there’s something deeply moving about the reversal—about sam, the younger brother, becoming the one who protects, who shields, who holds the line when the world starts to fall apart around them. he becomes this quiet force of determination, willing to lie, manipulate, sacrifice anything just to make sure dean is safe. and it’s not about obligation. it’s about love. pure, overwhelming love. this is the man who raised him, who never gave up on him, who has been his constant through everything. and sam—who’s lost so much—fights like hell not to lose him.

sam’s love for dean is unwavering. it’s complex. it’s full of ache and gratitude and history. and when he steps into that role—when he becomes the one protecting, holding, saving—it’s not just about keeping dean alive. it’s about giving back everything dean has given to him, in every way he knows how. it’s about honoring everything dean has been to him—brother, parent, partner, home.

seasons 1-3: freshly in a relationship; passionate, obsessive love; first love; a new *something* being shaped; the early days of lovers

season 4-5: a couple's first big fight, the one that makes you question everything in a relationship, the one that makes you stronger or breaks you apart; the fight that tests your love for each other

season 5-8: you made it through the fight and now you're learning how to trust each other again, there is jealousy toward the people in your partner's inner circle (bc ofc there is), and there is uncertainty but there is also love and you know you'll make it through it

season 9-10: boundaries time. (or at least you try to set some), you think your relationship will work better if there are more boundaries and if you're less codependent (ofc it doesn't work out. you're even more codependent than before surprise surprise)

season 11-13: you're just an old married couple at this point. there are still some issues, especially with communication, but you're not that bothered; you're making decisions together now and you're a tight-knit team after putting behind you all the shit that went down in the past

season 14-15: you're peak husbands. that's it. you against the world. you're as codependent as you can possibly be. you're living in each other's pockets, waiting for death together and wanting to grow old together. who the fuck cares what happened before? you're together and that's all that's ever mattered.
