Sam stood up to Dean for Jack. 

Sam defended Jack and called Dean out for that conversation at the end of 13x02.

Sam bringing up his powers, his destiny (boyking!sam), and how Dean protected/didn’t give up completely/didn’t put down Sam. 

That scene happened tonight. 

Those last five minutes watered my crops and tiled the soil. I’m living. 

The harsh truth, though, is that Sam has NOT been the exception to Dean’s emotional and physical violence. He’s been the focus of it. And Dean, Sam, and canon have never dealt with that. And they need to. 

Or rather, they’ve dealt with it by lying about it. Dean, and Sam, and canon.

That won’t change, of course. But that’s going to leave what they do with Sam and Dean’s relationship, and with the other relationships built in tandem or parallel to it, fundamentally dishonest.

Until Sam and Dean both have an utterly horrified realization that Sam being grateful to Dean for not murdering him is FUCKED THE FUCKING HELL UP, progress is not going to happen.

And until the show stops treating it as OK for Dean to be judge, jury, and executioner as long as he’s a merciful judge and jury and an executioner who stays his hand, the show’s vision is still going to be horrific to me. They’ve got Dean lodged in a position of power in such fundamental, invisible ways that I don’t think they know how to think outside that box. 

Sam telling Jack that he’s not evil, and that his powers are not evil (not just because they can be used for good, but because he is good) is so incredibly upsetting when you consider that Sam always considered a part of himself evil, that he considered his powers evil, even when he said he’s using them for good.

I wish Sam could believe in himself the way he believes in other people.

Fic: The Last Word, 2/5

AO3

Summary: Lucifer tries to convince Jack, but things go a little differently. Another scene from 13.23. 

Lucifer’s come to take Jack. 

Over and over the familiar terror spikes, over and over another shot of panic and adrenaline to the heart, but Sam’s not surprised. He’s just exhausted, and mute, and nauseated; Lucifer uses the same old tired lines with the kind of confidence that comes from being too powerful to have heard of caution.
