re: the kink question, yeah, that question was sort of weird. Like, I will assume that there's definitely communities out there that are all about sexual zaniness on behalf of out-doing expectations and being ~edgy, but often I feel like for the stuff I've read, if someone's having a/b/o knotting semi-invertebrate tantric sex on the moon in handcuffs, it's not for the sake of causing a sensation but because, for whatever reason, that was exactly the scenario required of the idea/relationship they wanted to write and strongly believed in, and the way it often comes across is that it makes perfect sense within the world of the fic, and really isn't strange at all! I feel like often it's a sort of promise, like, 'I realize this sounds arcane but I promise you it will feel like all the sense in the world.' Which is how SPN itself is often best summarized, so. XD
And haha, former fandom was the manga, Naruto~ In that one my brother pair really did torture and kill each other, so really, Sam and Dean are doing just fine. XD
As for Dean, oooshhh, I don't know if I'm ready to put that to paper. XD But I believe very strongly that it is one of Dean's most consistent aspects [often passive but ever-present], and I think it limns canon explicitly quite a bit, even when (perhaps especially when) Dean's claiming the opposite (9x21-ish, 10x19). And while I'm often pretty open to taking other people's headcanons on just about anything within the world of their fic, reading a world where Dean's apparently entirely non-conversant and unfamiliar with the idea is not something I can do. XP In that vein, S7 Dean is super important to me! Haters gonna haaaaaate XP
