(Pre-series.) What makes a Winchester, a Winchester? Life is a collection of scenes sometimes recalled, sometimes forgotten. All contribute to the character of an individual. Here is a collection of the moments that created the men we know as Sam and Dean, from their viewpoints as well as from others who've played important roles in their lives. [COMPLETE]

Missing Scene from 10.23, Brother's Keeper. Before The Darkness, after Death, there were moments only witnessed by two brothers. Removing a Mark placed by God is not done without consequences. One-shot.

(Tag to 10x23, "Brother's Keeper.") Death, summoned by the only man who could, offered an answer. But Dean could not reap his brother. Yet eighteen months of playing host to the Mark of Cain takes its toll.

In 10x19, "Book of the Damned," with the radio blaring classic rock, hope soaring, we saw the Dean of the early seasons. All too soon that hope was more than dashed, but smashed. And brothers, united against evil, are taking different paths to fight that evil. Two missing scenes, two viewpoints.

Dean has always been excruciatingly hard on himself, in memory and in the present. He can't help but remember what he perceives as failings, as things that endanger Sam. What he never remembers, however, what he never even considers, is that things can also endanger him. (NOW COMPLETE)
