EO Challenge: WOW Hold. Sam's POV. Sam tells us about a dreadful curse Dean has just faced.

Forced to lay over in Athens, Georgia, after Dean becomes desperately ill, the brothers encounter a creature that has killed its way through the centuries preying on young men. Rated T for language and...stuff

This is a story about cancer. But there will no hair loss, no sweating, and hardly any vomiting. Dean won't turn sallow, his eyes won't sink into his skull. He won't ask his brother to take him somewhere peaceful to die.

Prequel to Somewhere In Between. Hiding an injury is never a good idea. After Dean missed to tell John that he was hurt on their last hunt things start to get worse. But is an infection the only thing they have to worry about? Pre-Pilot Hurt/Sick!Dean

Once you've reach rock bottom, there's not many other places you can go. Dean goes through some very dark, dark times after his conversation with Castiel. It started as a coda to 4.16. And then it just grew and grew. Mature themes. Complete.
