why i think sam is good for destiel

... and why this trio works so well

I usually tend to read fics where Sam is in the story, and i finally understand why.

I think Sam balances out the group. Dean is very temperamental but playful, while Sam is a little more sympathetic and cool headed at the same time. Cas is unique since he can be considered innocent because he lacks a lot of our cultural references and social cues, but he is still this very powerful being that is objectively stronger than them.

Cas softens Dean's hard edges and can follow Sam's rambling, Sam is patient with both of them, and Dean brings levity. They all bring something to the table and even tho I'm sure Cas and Dean can handle a story with just the two of them, i don't know if you have noticed, but they always end up fighting and they're both pretty stubborn so it takes a lot of time and mutual effort to talk things through.

I believe that when is just Sam and Dean, Dean tends to focus his worry on Sam but when Cas is in the picture he can look over Dean which is very important since Dean isn't used to relying on anyone but Sam and even then he will still put Sam first when it comes down to it. This is why we miss Cas so much when he's not in an episode; because when he's around, Dean is so much easier to deal with and seems much more vulnerable (and because he's very lovable).

Sam is the mediator between the two and is less impulsive with his emotions (also, he makes me laugh, so 100 points for that alone).

They are pretty balanced as a trio, and i like that. Now, with Jack, things have a different approach since he's basically a kid and their dynamic is less friend group (you know what i mean) and more family, but he fits very well regardless.

So when Sam is in the story, even as a side character, it makes everything go smoother, and they aren't as angsty.
