I love superhero stories, but I also can't stand when it's all about the powers and the tights. It's always a huge suspension of disbelief for me, especially in fic when it's an AU and not a proper Superhero 'verse. So I'm trying to treat it as "so, these guys have superpowers, how does that fit into their lives? How do they live in this world I've created where superheroes aren't more than urban legends? They're regular joes with 9-5 jobs (or the graveyard shift version of). They're dudes. And they're already workaholics committed to their day jobs. But they're so freaking bamf that they lose sleep over keeping the streets safe a little longer than their paycheck warrant.
I'm glad that a sense of humour is coming through, as I tend to wallow in the angst. Pain, bring it!!
I said elsewhere that I've been disappointed in Show that we've had Cas state that Sam is his friend, but we never got to see it, and I love twisting canon (what's the point in telling the same story twice?) to make Sam Cas's friend, make Sam Dean's point of entry into the orbit of Castiel. So I'm hoping that the brotherhood you mention encompasses Sam's friendship with Dean, the actual brotherhood of Sam & Dean (Winchesters forever!) and the growing friendship/brotherhood between Cas and Dean.
