Okay, but I can't stop thinking about what would've happened if Sam had actually gone back to university and Dean went on to hunt by himself. I mean, many things would've happened differently, but imagine some things happened exactly the same. Sam, after a few years, calling Dean to invite him to his graduation and Dean shows up with a weird guy in a trenchcoat who is supposed to be an angel. Dean checking in on Sam every few months until he doesn't. Sam even calls him, but Dean never picks up until months later he shows up out of nowhere saying "sorry I didn't pick up the phone, I was in hell :D" and Sam just being so confused. Or Sam running into other hunters on a grocery run and hearing them whisper among themselves "did you hear? THE Dean Winchester handled that wolf pack all by himself" and Sam just freaking out and asking them frantically if Dean was alright. Just Sam living the life he wanted and Dean living the life he was always supposed to live and Sam hearing the utmost crazy stories from and about his brother
