Fics like There Must Be a Way We Can Do Better

"God beckoned John’s soul, requesting insight into what Castiel would do to. He asked: 'what would a good father, the best father, do with unimaginable power?' 'He’d keep people safe,' said John. 'He would keep his family together.' 'Thank you, John. Some things are going to change soon, I promise.'" A family drama where Dean repairs his relationships and figures out what it means to do better in a post-Chuck world. Jack finds himself, Dean purges his poison, Sam rediscovers his individuality, and John contends with who he is. Claire learns how to let herself be seen, and Mary learns to accept and grow past her objectification. I wanted to explore the similarities between John and Dean Winchester as fathers and how that impacts their relationships with their respective children (and spouses) today. This fic also interrogates many problematic aspects of the Supernatural TV world with realism, including its treatment of women. Don't worry, there are fun bits too: Jack makes Cas-glasses to help him find his dad. I love all 15 seasons despite/because of SPN's flaws.
