I like that they both cry onscreen at various times, but we've never seen them break down sobbing...well, Sam was really crying a few times (John's "funeral" and at the end of Heart), but even then he wasn't really sobbing or anything.
I think that Dean cried in private somewhere, though. *g* But still...it can get a bit much if it's overdone in fics. I love crying boys, but they've shown that while they can get emotional at times, they usually hold it together, especially in front of other people.
Like I said above, I'm not anti-tears, but the situation has to merit it. And the writing has to be good, or I'm bound to think the writer has the emotional maturity of a 13 year old girl (hell, some of them might be 13 year old girls, which would explain a WHOLE lot).
It's all a matter of degrees. I'm not inclined to like any story that has them in waterworks all the time. Unless it's that spoof I plan on writing. ;)
