LAWL THIS PART I HAVE NO SYMPATHY WITH. I mean, I come across that attitude a lot, but where at least you're reasonable with it, I have had people say to me THE ENTIRE FANDOM SHOULD SHIP SAM/DEAN AND SHIPPING DEAN/CASTIEL IS A ~BETRAYAL~ and it's like... seriously? Why do you care what floats my boat? Anyhow. The newsletter thing! Honestly, I don't subscribe to the newsletter, but it makes sense to give Dean/Castiel its own section - not for the Dean/Castiel fans, they're just fine. It's the fans of actual Other Slash! Sometimes I want Uriel/Castiel and someone else might Sam/Adam or YED/John, and those should be buried amongst 20 Dean/Castiel fics.
Hmm. I agree on one point - Dean isn't unhealthily codependent to the extent that he was. However, Sam is still Dean's everything. He's still his #1 and that's not ever gonna change. The difficulties they're suffering right now are just them finally getting all the issues last season gave them out in the open, so they can be honest about it and cope and then come back together, all the stronger for it. And I can't see Dean picking anyone over Sam, not ever, even given the changes in their relationship, even if the other person was someone Dean truly loved. (And, as it is, he doesn't love Castiel.)
