probably, but I do wonder that if they allowed het or slash fics, if people would be able to keep the focus on the confrontation with law enforcement, instead of focusing on getting a couple together.

I think one of my main issues in finding fics dealing with 706 is that almost all the episode codas I saw after the ep, were dealing with Sam and Dean making up after their fight, which just didn't interest me personally all that much, since I didn't think they'd be apart that long in canon to begin with.

Unfortunately most people seem to prefer doing what the show did, aka avoid all the potential storylines that could have come to be if they'd actually let the boys get in trouble with the cops again. (still waiting for the first Dean/Cas fic that actually deals with Cas attempt at playing God and how he's now probably wanted as a mass murderer of some kind, if you got any of those, I'd love to read them, but then I love storylines like that. ).
