What are the common themes in Sam Hurt Dean Winchester fanfiction?

In Hurt Dean Winchester fanfiction, a frequent theme is his self - sacrifice. Dean is always putting himself on the line for others in the show, and in fanfictions, this is often exaggerated. He might sacrifice himself in a big way and then have to face the consequences while being hurt. Also, the theme of his past traumas resurfacing when he gets hurt is quite common. His experiences in Hell, for example, might come back to haunt him when he's physically or emotionally injured.

The theme of family legacy is quite prevalent. Since they come from a family of hunters, many fanfictions explore how this family history affects their actions and decisions. Also, the theme of growing up in a tough environment is common. They face a lot of hardships at a young age, and fanfictions often depict how they cope with it and become stronger.

Since I don't actively engage with this type of fanfiction, I can't say for sure. But generally in fanfiction, themes might include the intense emotional connection between the characters, perhaps with a romantic or sexual undertone.

One great Sam Hurt Dean Winchester fanfiction is 'The Broken Bond' which delves deep into the emotional turmoil when Sam is hurt and how it impacts Dean. It shows Dean's struggle to protect his brother and his own internal conflicts.

Sometimes it's due to Dean's overprotectiveness. He might think he's doing what's best for Sam but in the process, his actions end up causing harm. For instance, he could keep Sam from a mission that Sam believes is important, and in the struggle, Sam gets hurt.

A recurring theme is the search for their place in the world. As hunters, they don't really fit into normal society. Fanfictions explore how they deal with this outsider status. Another theme is the power of friendship. They have friends in the hunting community, and how those relationships interact with their brotherly bond is often a topic. Also, the theme of fate and free will comes up, as they seem to be following a certain path but also trying to break free from it sometimes.

Dean might have to sacrifice his own safety or even his beliefs to deal with the vampire situation.
