doe mary & fawn sam

i do love the non con vibes of it because it rings true to dean’s character in the context of his dynamic with sam, and this is exactly why i don’t think dean’s just a protective loyal dog most people compare him to, he’s canonically fully capable of intentionally hurting sam (and punishing him) to establish control over him (and post s4 sam starts to break and is willing to eat up any punishment from dean because of his guilt after their fight in 4.21). which is why dean’s both a dog AND a wolf. sam is safe with him because dean protects him from other predators but also sam isn’t safe with him because he trusts dean a little bit too much (“i had no idea that dean would do that to you” - “you and me both” -> getting stalked by dean after running away from him) and sometimes dean’s too hungry for control over sam and his teeth are sharp

"sometimes dean’s too hungry for control over sam and his teeth are sharp"

kicking my feet twirling my hair yes they are and sam doesn't feel his bites anymore

and I get you I don't think I've ever fully agreed to loyal dog symbolism for dean because

a) i think its born out of the same side of the fandom that keeps harping for his domestication and

b) wolves suit him symbolically not just because they are very sharp predators in the wild but cause they are incredibly loyal to the concept of family. one of the few animals that display such devotion. they will stick with their family even when food gets scarce, even when some are injured and if anyone in the pack strays, they tend to drag them back by their teeth.

dean will protect him and he will go to any length to protect him. this is a wolf that can gnaw his own leg off if he needed to. sometimes he needs to grip onto sam because he feels him slip (to ruby, to demon blood, to hallucinations, to amelia) and he'd rip into sam's nape and there's blood in his mouth so he Knows sam's hurting but sam's here and atleast he's not leaving.

I feel a part of sam will always be afraid of him too. its like he's always bracing for a hit but I don't mean physical (those are mostly sudden if you notice, no build no nothing) I mean his derision, his contempt ("what about the next time you decide you can't trust me?"

this had me at a chokehold since i read it

dean's a herding dog and a wolf and when he's what depends entirely on sam. usually he's a dog nudging deer sam with his snout and making sure he leads their way far away from predators. he'd hide sammy and fend off multiple predators all alone and puff his chest at the war wounds

(also side note sam is the most gorgeous buck with majestic antlers)

so bucks tend to get aggressive around their rut when their testosterone starts to rise, right? It's this time when dean fully allows himself to be the wolf, cause he needs to keep sam in control and safe, right? there's no other reason..

but he needs to keep this from happening over and over. remember, dean is still a dog/wolf, he doesn't understand deer anatomy at all. what it feels like to be one.

all he knows is that sam's antlers are the biggest and strongest at the time of his rut (when he's aggressive) and after that's done, the antlers fall off.

so obviously the issue is the antler right? so wolf dean does what any good brother would and breaks them off at the base with his jaws and sam's howling and whining and thrashing to get away but he doesn't understand sammy im doing this to help you, would you stop squirming?

so yeah bucks need their antlers to defend themselves, but im here, so why does he need to defend himself?

and yeah they need it to establish dominance, but sammy doesn't need to do that with me, we're always equal, him and I.

dean doesn't want to climb in sam's skin, he wants sam to live inside his ribcage <3

wolf dean would lay deer sam down and lick all over his bruised and cut up parts, gently run his tongue up and down everywhere and nudge his head into sam's when he's whimpering in pain

and once the wounds close, dean would nip over the scars to open them up again, but this time under his own teeth and he'd be so tender about it and it hurts the same as when he'd heal with his licks so sam doesn't think it's all that different really, it's how he's loved and it's the only way he thinks he can be loved

and mmm thinking about dean wanting to sink his teeth into the soft skin of sam, mouth drooling from images of his hot blood rushing into his throat and all the way down until he feels the bones snap so he can suck the marrow out of them too.

infact, caribou sam

anon did you know fawns begin walking 20 minutes after they're born and soon after start running too fast? so mother deers usually hide their fawns in tall grass or abandoned places so they'll be safe?

think about fawn sam being spotted in his hiding spot. someone is coming and he's so alone and scared. deer mary comes back because she had a bad feeling

fawn sam huddling close to her when strangers come in looking for deer meat,

deer mary shielding her little fawn from the strangers and getting shot in her little head

fawn sam takes this chance and starts running and running on his little shaky legs, over rocky grounds and breaking his bones but he can't stop
