Well, family is a huge theme. It's not just about Sam and Dean, but also their extended family and how that impacts their lives. Sacrifice is also common. They are always willing to put themselves in harm's way for each other or for the greater good. And then there's the theme of the unknown. Fanfiction often takes them into uncharted territories in the supernatural world, exploring things that the show might not have covered yet.
A sense of duty is present as well. Dean feels it's his duty to keep Sam safe. So when Sam is hurt, it's like he's failed in his mission. This leads to self - reflection in Dean and often a new determination to keep Sam out of harm's way in the future.
Well, 'The Winchester Legacy' is quite popular. It might explore the long - term impact of the Winchesters' actions on the supernatural world. 'Dean and Sam: A New Beginning' could be a fanfiction where they start fresh in a new location, facing different types of creatures. And then there's 'The Protectors Winchester' which shows how they protect not only each other but also the innocent people around them in a more detailed and unique way.
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 common theme is the exploration of their deep emotional bond in a romantic context. Since they already have a strong brotherly bond in the original show, fanfictions often build on that to create a more intimate, romantic relationship.
There are indeed some. One way to find them is to search on specific fanfic communities dedicated to Supernatural. These fanfics often explore different aspects of Sam and Dean's relationship. They might rewrite certain scenes from the show with a gay subtext or create entirely new storylines based on the idea of them having a romantic relationship. Just keep in mind that the quality can vary greatly from one fanfic to another.
There are quite a few. 'The Winchester Bond' is a fanfiction that emphasizes the unbreakable bond between Sam and Dean. It has some great action scenes and also some heartfelt conversations. 'Into the Darkness' is a more horror - oriented one, where Sam and Dean face a new and terrifying threat. And 'Homecoming' is a fanfiction that deals with their return to a place from their past and the memories and emotions that come with it.
You can start by visiting popular fanfiction websites like Archive of Our Own (AO3) or FanFiction.net. Just search for 'dean and sam winchester' in the search bar, and then you can sort the results by popularity, number of reviews, or rating. Another way is to join fan communities on social media platforms like Reddit or Tumblr. People there often share and recommend great fanfictions about the Winchesters.
There are some fanfiction communities like FanFiction.net as well. However, the quantity of specifically gay Sam and Dean Winchester fanfictions might be less compared to AO3. But it's still worth a look. You might have to dig a bit deeper by using specific tags related to their relationship in a gay context while searching.
