While talking to [livejournal.com profile] i_o_r_h_a_e_l, it suddenly occured to me that the perfect ending to the saga of the Winchester brothers would be Sam going back to college, this time with Dean along for the ride, though not necessarily with Dean going to college, too. It would be, what's the term, a bookend (?), a symmetery, closing of a circle.

Sam : I can't do it alone, Dean.
Dean : Yes you can.
Sam : Well, I don't want to.

Do you think they'd ever have their happy ending?

Actually it's not that Kripke wouldn't think of it, it's that he's to evil to end it that way.

It's... on the show, I think they COULD pull it off without making it seem trite, but it'd be a hard one. And I doubt that's their plan. But damn, wouldn't it make my little heart happy to have them ride off into the sunset together like that?

Maybe it's best executed in fic? *beats off plotbunnies with a stick*

Dean follows Sam to Stanford is one of my favourite AU, and to have it as canon would be a dream come true!!

Do write it!!!!

I would love a totally happy ending like that but its not really the show style so part of me would be a weeny bit disappointed if it did.

If not on the show, than maybe in SPN the movie, the way Mulder and Scully had theirs!!!

But yeah, I think I know what you mean. It'd be ... anti-climatic perhaps? But I still want them to live happily ever after.

Jensen wanted the boys to have that, he said so himself. Unlike Jared who said he wanted to see his character die.

Our Jensen is a softie at heart *happy sigh*

Ohhhh I would love it if they got that in a movie! YES. Now that could really work.

But dude, when Jared said he hoped the boys would go out in a blaze of glory, I could have strangled him. NO ENCOURAGING KRIPKE TO KILL THEM OFF JARED!!!

Our Jensen is a softie at heart *happy sigh*

I love him so!

OMG, I'd absolutely love for the boys to have a happy ending! Unfortunately, I'm still picturing Butch and Sundance. :(

If the show ended with S4, I think it'd be a given thing that the boys would die, but we have season 5, baby, and oh, I'm so hoping for them to have their happy. And if not on the show, maybe in the movies!

I think I'm the only one who actually craves for a tear jerking heart wrenching tragedy at the *very* end.

It's either "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" ending, or Dean (alone) dies a hero's death, and takes his place among the angels, while Sam gets to live the normal life he longed for as a kid.

Try as it may, I just can't see Dean live a common life. He's too special and pretty to grow old like the rest of us. ::sob::

Oh but hon, that was what John wanted for his sons - his dying wish so to speak. Remember what he said in IMTOD - I want Sam to go back to school, Dean to have a home ... . The seed is already there :DD

If they were planning for a movie some time in the future, the boys CANNOT die!!

From: [identity profile] xwacky.livejournal.com
They can always have the movie set somewhere back in time though. ;)

I did say the *very* end. Like we know the story is done. Like Frodo set sails west to the Undying Land, leaving Sam behind.

I'm evil, aren't I? Sorry!

From: [identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com
A-ha!!! But Samwise did meet his Frodo again, in Tol Eressar ( or at least it was implied in the book ).

Oh dear, the boys have been through so very much, I badly want them to be happy, even if it was just implied and not expressedly said/done.

*sighs wistfully*

See, that's good! Even if Dean "sails west" or heavenward, they can still meet again. ;)

I know what you mean by the boys been through so much. My heart breaks every time I see Dean cries. But I secretly love it every time. I guess it's because vividly alive as they are, they are still fictional characters for me. So I don't mind (and in fact craves) to see them put through the wringer. I also of the mind tragedy or imperfect ending leaves deeper impression. With that being said, I wouldn't mind a happy ending either.

That's why I can read SPN death!Fics but not J2 death!Fics, not that I have the illusion J2 in RPS are real.

I love death!fics too! Some of my favourites fics are death!fics, but they have to be really well-written for me to really like them. Have you read [livejournal.com profile] elohvee's 'We We Twenty'? That's a good one. Also, 'When It's Over', and [livejournal.com profile] tru_faith_lost's 'White Ladder'. Gorgeous!!

Sorry to bother you dear,
I found "We Were Twenty" and "White Ladder", but I can't find "When It's Over". Is it by [livejournal.com profile] elohvee as well?

Here you go :

I think that would be a great idea. It can be some kind of a full circle. Hm, that'd be a good title. :D

We have to finish our comment-fic then, and yes, 'Full Circle' would be a good title :DD

Oh, no! No way. Sam can go to college if he wants by why Dean has to follow him? He's not his dog or something. He never like it there. He's a hunter so let him be who he wants to be.

From: [identity profile] layne67.livejournal.com
Oh but it's my dream ending, Lee. Like John, I want Dean to have a home ... maybe a little of what his subconcious told him in 'Dream A Little Dream Of Me'. With or without a girl by his side, but I'd love for Sam to be with him. And no, being with the person he loves best doesn't make him a dog, Lee :)

Edit : Which is why WIAWSNB and It's A Terrible Life are two of my favourite episodes ever. Dont get me wrong though, I love Dean the hunter, but I also want something more for him.

Nope. I'm not too fond of the idea. Too... so-not-Dean. He'd not be Dean if he did, if you know what I mean.

No, I think the ending should be like this:

Dean and Sam have died and in the ending scene they're sitting on a cloud drinking beer looking out on the world below them. They would be all quiet. All of a sudden Dean says-

"God, I can't believe it's all over."
"Naw, neither can I."

Silence.

Dean:
"We sure had a lot of fun."
Sam looking suspisciously over at him. "Do you really think so?"
"Sure. Though you sure as hell made the job more difficult." He chuckles.
Sam is quiet for a while. "Yeah, I know. And he murmurs: "sorry"
"Don't think about it. Too bad about Castiel though."
Sam nods. "Well, I think he's stir up some things up there" Dean looks up. "They sure as hell need it." Chuckles again.

Long silence.

"We sure as hell had a lot of fun, Sammy". He finishes his beer and Sam giggles.

END

Be very happy I'm never writing stories!!! *runs off and hides*

"We were never going to be normal. We were never going to get away..." What Sam said to his younger self in WTLB.... I think that's how it's always going to be for him. Somehow, I can't see Sam and Dean ever having a normal life; they've been through too much.

As long as they love each other, and they're together, then I'll be able to bear whatever ending Kripke comes up with.

That's a very lovely way of putting it. Yes, together till the end, for better or for worse!

I don't think there will be a happy ending, but if I were Dictator of the World, I would insist on your ending. Dean could get a job and chase co-eds while Sam studies law and totally geeks out (but not at Stanford 'cause too many bad memories there). And they could have cats. And a dog. Maybe some fish, too. I was sitting at the automotive repair shop last Thursday watching the man who supervises all the mechanics and cars and explains stuff to customers and thought Dean would be really good at that job. :-)

I guess it's too late for Dean to be anything more than that. But just imagine, the man he could have been if he grew up "normal". Dean's smart, he could have been anything he wanted to be.
