Although the pairing had been utilized from the beginning, after the airing of [[1.22 Devil's Trap]] on May 4th 2006 significantly more [[John/Dean]] fanworks appeared (possibly due to the chemistry between Dean and the possessed John). [[John/Sam]] is rarer, but not unknown. Both pairings often explore issues of authority and consent.
Possibly due to its emphasis in canon on emotions and relationships, Supernatural became one of the major slash fandoms in from 2006-2007onwards. It also has a very high proportion of [[Gen]] fic, although much less [[Het]]. [[Fem Slash]] is very rare.
