Absolutely. Oh, lovely. Lovely. And sad. You know this is fic, right? <3
As for Sam being that snot - this isn't against you, it's really not, I'm just emotional about this thing - och, I wanna kick fandom's ass. I hate that this (imo) insensitive interpretation became so fanon. Meh. As if loving Dean - Dean being wonderful and giving - requires Sam to be like that. Sam does so incredibly much for Dean, gives so much thought and devotion to him, such sensitivity and attention. And yes, sacrifices a lot for Dean, though I hate that this fandom considers that a measure of love or devotion. The things he's condemned for are unfair, IMO. Being six and complaining about his food, unlike every kid pretty much, unlike Dean for sure? Trying to get out of a harmful family situation, harmful for them all, by independently managing to find a different place for himself? Not managing to save Dean though he was willing to spend eternity in hell for him? Being devastated enough by losing Dean that he fell apart and got into a bad relationship, an addiction to something he didn't even know was addictive in advance? It's not fair, judging Sam because Show uses Sam to highlight Dean's sacrifice and heroism. For all I love Dean, and I really, really love Dean, Dean doesn't allow Sam a lot of subjectivity (things got a bit more complicated in season 8). That comes with a certain amount of dependance, or however you want to call it. < / soapbox > :-)
