I don't hate on him. He's the go-to sidekick. And Disney taught us that stories need sidekicks! I just find it amazing that he's in so many fics, yet really only has ties to Jared.

Eh. I don't think it's bad to Mary Sue Danneel. It's not like anybody is accurately portraying Jared or Jensen. They're archetypes that we enjoy. Why can't we do the same with Danneel?
