#dean deserved a happy ending

[nachthimmelschwarz]

i don't usually comment on thing here really but i'm currently rewatching and in 1x12 dean was supposed to die. it was a silly accident, but it caused him a death sentence. he even tells sam to leave without him and carry on the job without him. the healer that saved deans life said something like 'you have to keep living because you have a greater purpose ahead of you'.

so at first I felt the same way as you did. like this death was unnecessary and i felt robbed of the happy ending dean and Sam deserved. but watching that episode again made me realise: dean was already dead. he was doomed by the narrative way before we even had an idea about what was going to happen. his death wasn't out of spite of some writers. it was inevitable, because he was already dead from the start. he only lived to safe everyone else.

clearly the healer was referring to the apocalypse (because well i guess even the writers didn't knew where this is heading to), but what if he knew the bigger picture? reepers have a close connection to death and death knew what was going to happen. so I belive dean was always supposed to die. he never should've lived that long. every new chance he got was to save his brother and the world. he was never supposed to save himself. besides cas no one was supposed to save dean and in the end cas was gone.

Why do this??? Why show us that Dean wanted out?? That Dean thought about quitting hunting. Retiring. That Dean wanted to LIVE. When you intended from the get go to impale him on a rusty rebar. Because "it was always gonna end like this." Because "it was supposed to end like this, right?" Because Dean „HAD TO DIE?????” What do you mean Dean would never stop hunting when you’ve literally showed us he wanted to???? What do you mean Dean wanted to die hunting when he literally said he DIDN'T??

Imo the best ending to Supernatural would have been to just stop with them alive on a random hunt or them finding jobs and living the life they just wanted or whatever.

And then the story just fucking STOP, because Chuck is not here anymore, so they are no longer part of a story they are finally free. And we could still write and read fanfic about how they live after they won.

What if Dean came home to find a certain trench-coated angel waiting for him on his doorstep.

Found him.

Hello, Dean

[morallygreyintrovert]

Spent hours of today in tears writing a particularly sad scene in my Destiel fix-it fic and I’ve had to call it for today because I’m feeling so bummed out and feel the need for a really strong drink…

No wonder Dean spent the entirety of the show inebriated, I’m only writing about his life and I’m depressed, imagine living it?

He has to have one of the most tragic story arcs for a character on any tv show ever!

Big reopening November 5th – Welcome to Family Business Beer

The sign was hanging over the entrance, doors opened waiting for the first visitor to enter their brewery. Dean nervously rubbed his hands together. They took a leap with this thing, invested everything they had to start over again. Cas and him; Sam and Eileen … they all deserved this – a new beginning.

“Everything ready?” Dean asked as Cas joined him at the entrance.

“As ready as can be,” Cas answered with a nervous smile.

“Do you think this … everything will work out?”

“I have faith.”

Dean rolled his eyes. “Still? We are open for like,” he checked his watch, “half an hour and nobody has come.”

Castiel took his hands, looking deep into his eyes to calm him down. “Dean, we are OPEN. Can you believe it? After all this time, we finally made it. We are open. And yes, I still have faith. Because I believe in you, in us.”

Dean took a deep breath to respond something, but his thoughts were interrupted by their fist customer. It was their new neighbor and some of his friends.

“Place looks awesome guys,” he said as they shook hands.

“I forgot this place existed. Looks nice though.”

“I heard you gonna sell the best beer in the US?”

“You heard right,” Dean said, smiling. “Feel free to go inside and look around. My brother and his wife will get you your free samples.”

“Free? I like this place already,” the neighbor answered as they sauntered inside.

“Well, there you go, our first customer,” Castiel said, as they were alone again.

“Yeah, that wasn’t so bad right? Maybe we are going to make it,” Dean finally said with some confidence in his voice.

“Look, there are more people coming,” Castiel exclaimed. “Doing this – trying this apple pie life - was the right decision, I can feel it. Can’t you?”

“You know what?” Dean honestly said, as he looked into those big blue eyes, “I actually can.”

Does it ever drive you crazy just how fast the night changes?

the way i see it the supernatural finale could be interpreted as disrespectful and a slap in the face to the characters who fought so hard to create their own story, write their own destiny, define all odds and live their lives outside of gods will in this case but personally to me the whole "this was always gonna end like this", "love was there and it didn't chnage anything. but it still matters that the love was there", and the fact that their story and legacy will live on and the fact that sam and dean died the way they were introduced to us in the very first episode and the way both characters always predicted,, is kind of,, its kind of beautiful,..

normally i have enough of a complicated relationship with dean that thinking about his death in the finale doesn’t make me too unhappy but sometimes i’m like. man. he never even got sober…… we deserved to see old man dean drinking non alcoholic beer. sigh

Well hey!

So after I finished my Marvel story I figured I’d jump back into Supernatural. This story is one of my favourites I’ve ever written, so if you guys wanted to give it a chance that would be amazing!

So here is the latest chapter of my giant fix-it for the end of the show, aka “the author gives Dean the love and support he needs while telling an angsty story of him getting Cas back,”

I didn’t write a birthday story for Dean Winchester this year, so I thought I’d share what I wrote last year.

Happy birthday, Dean. You deserved better.

[gay-celestial-being]

this should’ve been their ending

[found--family]

cas coming back in any kind of spn reboot is a given, we know this. he'll interact with dean and we might even get dean addressing the confession. and i know jackles will be the driving force behind any reboot but his history with addressing dean's feelings at cons is like a damn yoyo - is2g if dean doesn't reciprocate and destiel doesn't kiss on screen i'm not watching it and it will join the annals of not-canon along with 15x19 and 15x20 and the canon divergence attempt at a fixit that was dean in spnwin. no destiel means spngate 2.0.

[lazarus-rose]

You know what I want? I want Dean and Cas to grow old together. I want them to be wizened old men sitting in rocking chairs that Dean pretends he hates on the porch of the house they own together down the street from Sam and Eileen, griping about new technology and young hunters while they hold hands

Every time I think I'm finally over the ending of Supernatural, I peel back another layer of betrayal
