Like, I’m sure people have written about it before, but a part of the reason that Destiel hits such a big nerve in fandom is because they follow the classic tropes of Thee original slash ship, Kirk and Spock.

Roguishly charming Midwestern man in a leadership position who is uniquely attached to his vehicle? (Who often gets mischaracterized as a womanizer macho man, but is in reality a big nerd who just loves his family?) Emotionally repressed being from another planet but loves humanity despite the shit they get put through who often gets bodysnatchedTM bc of their powers? Who are then both often pitted against each other by outside forces despite the loyalty they have to each other?

Not to mention all the AU shenanagains. Then tropes: Surprise I Have A Wife. Insane But I Got Better. Died But Back Again. Literal Time/Space Travel To Save The Other. etc.
