I really have the urge to read fic where Sam returns with Dean's food, he gets drunk and then we get ALL the feels between the two of them. We're unlikely to get that in the show (especially the wincest-y version I imagine), so I think I need to read it! (if anyone has any recs OR wants to write one *hint* I'm just here waiting).

While I'm here I'd like to rec this great vid by emerging vidder justmep2: Does That Make Me Crazy. This is only her 7th vid and she's done a wonderful job. This is about Demon!Dean - I love the way she's tied in relevant moments from Dean's past ago highlight the demon story. The editing is snappy and the song is great for d!dean. Check it out!

I'd also like to rec this tumblr post. I wouldn't normally do this but I think this highlights just how passionate SPN fans are. Even though this is probably WAY off course (not least because there's no way the writers would have even considered John's blood type), I think just the fact that it's caused a stir and got people talking and thinking is fun enough. It's a shame some peeps have been rude about it (come on! it's just a theory!) - but that just seems the way it goes these days. Sadly.

If fact, I've seen a few interesting things about S10 floating around. The biggest discussion point seems to be why Sam didn't use his own blood to cure Dean. Lots of lovely theories - including the connection to the trials and his tainted blood. For me it just made sense that he wasn't having to drain himself of blood when having to deal with demon!Dean. It also highlighted Sam's compassion. He didn't want to harm Dean more than he needed too. Mostly it would be simply logistics. We'd be crying foul if Sam was running around without much blood.

There's other stuff - like Sam being a meanie and returning Dean to normal when he was having such a great, guilt free life (please), Dean finally saying the stuff to Sam that he's always been feeling deep down (might be some truth in that), that Cas was actually the one who saved Dean (and even with my most open mind I can't buy that. He saved Sam for sure. He restrained Dean so Sam could finish the cure. Team work at the end). I also believe Dean's "thank you" to Cas at the end was for stopping him in time to not kill Sam. It wasn't for curing him.

I do wish d!Dean had said "here's Johnny" when he was smashing that door. I'm sure that was a shootout to The Shining.

Thanks so much for the rec!

The tumblr thing sounds more like something from a soap or Grey's Anatomy, heh. But it certainly shows how passionate this fandom is with how much time people spent on finding evidence to support their theory.

I agree with everything you said, specifically Dean's thank you. I had no doubt it was a "thank you for stopping me from killing my brother" when I watched it. The "thank you for saving my ass", if we'll ever get to hear it, would be meant to Sam.

I had no doubt it was a "thank you for stopping me from killing my brother" when I watched it..

Yeah, me too. I watched it again to check and he's definitely thanking him for getting there in time. I've seen some people are upset that Dean could say thanks to Cas but not to Sam. They felt that the thanks was for saving him, but it just wasn't.

I'm not sure Sam will get a thank (at least for a while), because I'm not entirely sure how happy Dean will be to be back - or be pleased about what Sam did to find him. But I hope he at least acknowledges what Sam's been through and does thank him at some point.

Call me naive, but I think he will. I'm just not sure it'd be now because of the Mark. They both need some time to process what happened but I doubt Dean would have preferred to stay the way he was and he must acknowledge what Sam did for him at *some point*. I just hope we don't have to wait forever for it.
