This might be odd, but I only seem to be interested in Sam/Dean if Sam's evil... (or if it's an au where they aren't brothers. To me, pairing them up cheapens the relationship they do have)
I think a big problem for me in the majority of Sam/Dean fics is that they treat it as normal, as if the part where they're brothers is just a minor obstacle that everyone around them will just ignore. (well that and most Sam/Dean fics seem to fall in a trap of where the story becomes all about them being together and having sex, instead of about the supposed plot...)
Oddly enough, with some exceptions, J2 doesn't seem to suffer from those issues, whereas I'll only read destiel if Cas is the top/dominant partner in the relationship.
The ones with Cas as the bottom, just feel off to me. (I think it's because far too many people make Cas way too nice compared to how he is in canon. Cas might be funny from our perspective, but even when he was insane on the show he wasn't 'sweet'. And a lot of destiel writers who write Castiel as submissive seem to ignore that, too focused on the angel part to keep the 'warrior of God' part in mind.
But the one thing that'll pull me out of a fic faster than anything, is someone writing a J2 fic with bottom Jared, where Jensen calls Jared 'little one'.
Cause then I'm sitting there wondering if they've ever even seen a picture of Jared...
