    The relationship between these brothers is relatable to anyone with a brother or sister; they bicker constantly but would take a bullet for the other any day. They took many bullets throughout the seasons; it appears that every other episode one of them is on the verge of death and the other must figure out a way to save the other 's life. They have made deals with Lucifer, demons, crossroad demons, death himself, angels, God and witches to save the others life. Their end of the deal would rarely get fulfilled because they would normally kill whoever they made the deal with but in later seasons they made alliances with some of the demons and angles, so they could stop making deals and just have people help them. Unfortunately, there are still people that want them dead so they put curses on the boys or just send people to try and kill them. However, the reason for Sam and Dean dying is not always someone else 's fault sometimes they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. They have battled vampires, shapeshifter, demons, angels, cherubs, fairies, the four horsemen, ghosts, hellhounds, werewolves, reapers, leviathans, prophets, sirens, skinwalkers, wendigos and many more creatures.
