A lot of people seem to think wincest is all about brothers fucking in the back of the Impala or in a motel in the middle of nowhere, or kissing while the stars are shining above them. And while that’s a part of the journey of being a wincest shipper, it’s not a canon part, it’s not a part I want to see on the screen. It’s a fanon part I love to explore. So, what’s wincest about then? It’s about two brothers who were raised on a road. It’s about two people who would stop at nothing to save the other. It’s about the sacrifices they are willing to make in order to save the person they love most in the world, even if that sacrifice is the world itself. It’s about how they can’t live without each other, and how broken they look when the other is gone. It’s about the puppy eyes. It’s about how Dean melts in his brother’s arms. It’s about “I’m begging you, please. Bring him back. Bring him back and take me instead”. It’s about how Sam, possessed by the devil himself, took control of his own body and beat Lucifer because Dean was there, because Dean didn’t give up even though he was hurt and covered in blood, because seeing Dean bombarded Sam with the memories of their life together. It’s about them being soulmates. It’s about “You and Dean? There’s something special, don’t you think?”. It’s about how sometimes they don’t even have to say anything to know how the other one is feeling. It’s about “Sammy”. It’s about how Dean didn’t leave Sam’s bedside for days, didn’t bury him, didn’t burn his body, didn’t want to say goodbye, and how later he didn’t hesitate to sell his soul. It’s about how Sam’s greatest sin was how many times he let Dean down. It’s about how they don’t hug if it’s not the end of the world, except they do. It’s about how they are each other’s anchors. It’s about how they have carved S.W and D.W into important places (Impala, bunker). It’s about how Dean decided not to go into a box, because Sam simply asked him not to. It’s about how they have kept each other human. It’s about how Dean immediately agreed to what Lilith wanted because he was afraid she was going to hurt Sam, how he said “no, no don’t touch him” with softness. It’s also about the fun part “you are bickering like an old married couple”, “trouble in paradise, boys?”, “you’re lying to Sam like he’s your wife, which kind of makes me your mistress”, “what did Sam say? Does he want a divorce?”, “Hey, new guy. Quit flirting with the trainer and keep scooping”, and how people assume they are a gay couple. It’s about the amulet. It’s about how a simple touch says more than a thousand words. It’s about how they prank each other every once in a while. It’s about how they cling onto each other when the world is ending. It’s about how despite everything, they come back to each other again and again, and again. It’s about how they have matching tattoos. It’s about how Dean loves Sam’s princess hair. It’s about how they don’t say “I love you” outright, but instead say “you come back”, “there ain’t no me if there ain’t no you“, “all that matters now, all that’s ever mattered, is that we’re together", “I can’t do this without you”, “I’m proud of us”, “I can’t lose you”, “we’re stronger together than apart”, “I followed you to hell and back”, “bitch”, “jerk”, “don’t you there think there’s anything, past or present, that I would put in front of you”, “and if we die, we will do that together too”, “you always put me first. Your whole life”, “I wouldn’t do this without my brother”, “you and me”, “all I’m saying is, you’re my weak spot”, “I thought I lost you, man”, “it’s okay, I’m here, I’m here, I’m not gonna leave you”, “I know where I am at my best, and that is right here, driving down crazy street next to you”, “you know what brought me back? You did”, “Dean you were the one who was always there for me. The only one“, “you and Sam have each other“, “no, sir, not before everything”, “I’m not leaving, ever!”, “I wanted you back”, “there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you”, “why don’t you believe in us, too?”, “and I don’t need a symbol to remind me how I feel about my brother”, “love, family, whatever we have between us… “ And it’s about so much more than that.
