I'm so glad you're pointing this out, I was thinking the exact same thing! It doesn't make any sense that Dean would not worry about how Sam is handling being faced with his century-long tormentor like this - up close and personal in their home, wearing their friend. It would never be Dean's first, let alone his only, reaction to determinedly swear to save Cas no matter what, he would have worried about Sam instead. Especially since Sam's only just escaped the cage for the second time.
It's heartbreaking and infuriating how little the writers care about their show's own canon, their characters and the brothers' relationship. With Jensen always stressing at cons that he thinks SPN is at its best when concentrating on the formula of the two brothers hunting evil together, it's even more surprising that it's just not happening anymore. I mean, I'd expect the stars of the show to have a little more pull with the writers, right? Or maybe not, I don't know. Still, I would have thought it should have become obvious by now to the showrunners that most fans are in it for that formula, for the brothers, their relationship, their fight together. Ignoring your main characters' most defining personality traits and their dynamic like this is just...ignorant, lazy, wrong, ridiculous, shortsighted and whatnot. *shakes head*
Phew. Sorry for the rant. Guess I had some feels about this bottled up, and I'm glad to be able to vent here. :) (Tumblr is just not meant for discussions and conversations like this, is it? Just something I've been noticing since dipping my toe in there.) I'm also so very happy you decided to fix this mess! Fanfic always makes everything better, and I'm very much looking forward to yours! Thanks, hon. Have a good night and may the muse be with you! :) ♥
Glad you got all that out, and I agree very much. Especially the bit about the writers not really honoring or even getting the brother relationship. Sad because it is completely unique on tv. Hope that you'll enjoy the "fix" that I come up with.
