for wincest wednesday what are your fave fanfic tropes w wincest

this was from two wincest wednesdays ago but I am an epic fail piece of shit who is only answering it now. I AM SO SORRY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK <33333

I read an alarming amount of wincest fic lmfao - I could probably go on about this for seventy thousand years or so. but I'll try to keep it short(ish? welp.) by only doing my top five. or really, like...five tropes that I really love. idk if this even counts as a "top" list, bc I have so many that I can't say for sure what the order would look like, and I don't care to stress over it, lol.

in no particular order:

hurt/comfort of COURSE. if this was not #1 in my heart I would not have earned the samwhump dot tumblr dot com username. at any given time my brain is 98% Sam getting tortured (mentally? physically? sexually? emotionally? ALL OF THE ABOVE?? why didn't you say so???) and Dean comforting him as best as he knows how (which is usually like......not that well, lbr, but that's okay, that makes the angst even better)

mutual pining!!!!

time travel AUs. honestly, I can't think of a flavor of this that I wouldn't read, but my very most favorite is emotionally destroyed/heavily traumatized post-Cage late seasons Sam meeting young/brash early seasons Dean who vacillates between being thrilled that his Sammy chose to stay and hunt with him after all and horrified at what could have happened to Sam to change the headstrong baby brother he knows so well. (huge shoutouts to @according2thelore's time travel ficlets featuring early seasons Dean and Sam living with later seasons Dean and Sam in the bunker. sooooo fucking incredible. some of my all-time comfort reads.)

along those lines, Croatoan!verse Dean being transported to main timeline-land and being all fucked up over getting to Sam alive and whole and not Lucifer-possessed. bonus points for the two Deans getting all bitchy and jealous at each other.

idk if this counts as a trope, necessarily, but just like...casefics that take place in the early seasons and are just Sam, Dean, and the Impala cruisin' around the country and fuckin' shit up while they also fuck each other. like...porny road trip fic, I guess? like...it gets me all gooey and achey and ahhhh my shriveled gremlin heart loves their love.

ADDENDUM: I had to add a sixth one bc I cannot believe I forgot this but like. fix-it AUs!!! for things that I PERSONALLY think need fixing!!! voicemail fix-its, Samulet fix-its, Dean not throwing Cas into the nearest drainage ditch when he broke the Wall of Sam fix-its!!! these I love and need in my life. because I get horrible anxiety thinking about the things that the show did not address that I Need addressed in order to continue as a person in this world. ok.
