one reason i like fictional incestuous dynamics that involve some combination of a parent-sibling-sibling polygon is that many of our fantasies about romantic love are fundamentally based on an ideal merging between the options offered by parental and fraternal bonds, which is however extremely irrealistic to reach in real life, as many of their characteristics are antithetical. you cannot have a love born of sameness and parity and simultaneously live the unequal abandon or absolute power prompted by unilateral dependence. it's an equation that doesn't work. and while i appreciate stories that engineer a dream where you can find all of this in one person, i also enjoy the staging of the unconquerable tension emerging from facing that you can't. a father cannot give you what a brother does and viceversa. sometimes you can only have one in your life and sometimes you get to keep them both, but even then, at any given moment, you are bound to chase the shadow of one in the other, trying to reach synchronically a completion that can only be experienced diachronically at best. if at all. it's not greedy to want everything, forever, at the same time, but it is often impossible and that's a hunger that never stops nipping at you.

Started rewatching Supernatural from the first season, and I absolutely understand why the first Wincest fanfic was written right after the first episode was aired.
And I'm not even talking about the obvious stuff like "Easy, tiger."
I'm talking about: The very first parallel in the show's history, where Dean and Sam are compared to a romantic couple Guy talking to his girlfriend when he sees the Woman in White - Sam talking to Dean when he sees the Woman in White
This scene where Sam says he's never been unfaithful, and the ghost tells him he will be. And the interesting thing is that at this point he's basically not fully faithful to Jessica anymore (because he already chose Dean over her), and he never was. Only Dean knows Sam completely, while Sam himself confirms that he was going to hide his life as a hunter from Jessica until the very end.
The scene with Dean saying he'll take Sam home when the entire episode was built on the concept of a ghost woman seducing unfaithful men and asking them to take her home, and they agree to it.
(As we know, Dean, like Sam, has subsequently always left all his love interests to be with Sam.)
And that crazy ending where Dean saves Sam from the fire, but that's not even the main thing about that scene. The fact that Dean basically stayed and was going to go back to Sam, even though they'd already said goodbye and decided to go their separate ways again. And the fact that Dean ran into the house so fast only means two things — Dean was close enough that he heard Sam scream and rushed inside, and if he was that close, that meant he was standing outside the door again, gathering his thoughts to go inside and talk to Sam, afraid that Sam wouldn't accept him.
This series is literally "The epic love story of Sam and Dean" and it was like that from the very beginning.

What the parallel with the rings makes me feel ain't even remotely normal. John's still wearing his wedding ring. Dean took Mary’s wedding ring. He calls his father with a broken voice, begging him to help, saying he’s scared. Dean begging, on the verge of tears, wearing his mother’s wedding ring and getting in response nothing but silence and complete abandonment from his father. It’s just so. It’s so uhff. My God. You don’t get it.
