Obviously incest is not a big squick for me, but...I don't know. In the case of Dean and Sam, they have too much other angsty, divisive, issuey material to be mined--incest and its accompanying issues seems like buttering a Twinkie, angst-wise.

In the case of Jsquared, it's not so much that it's impossible as that it's boring to me. Two nice, well-adjusted, angst-free, openminded, liberal, and attractive dudes from Texas have feelings for each other. They hit on each other, have nice well-adjusted angst-free openminded liberal attractive sex, and fall in love in a nice well-adjusted angst-free openminded liberal way. Maybe they even, like, have a beer or something. To throw significant interest into the mix, you'd either have to write them out of character, put work into an actual plot (which people seem reluctant to do), write an AU (which a lot of people won't read), or give one or both of them issues with homosexuality (which readers seem to regard as either character-bashing or too controversial). That's why I like fic that brings in other parties (like Chris Kane or Steve) because at least there's the possibility of jealousy or unrequited tension. It shakes up the formula a little.

Also...uh. Neither of them pings my gaydar one eeeeeeety beeeeeeety bit, breath mist sharing nonwithstanding. Perhaps I haven't watched enough footage.
