Tensions mount between Sam Campbell and Dean Winchester until an explosive quarrel drives the friends apart. Sam is drawn to a pretty stranger while Dean confronts a sinister scarecrow. You think you know this story. Think again. (This story is now available in Russian translation. Please google the very talented "yelynx" at "livejournal" for details.)

Sam hadn't made mistakes. He'd made choices. And now, with the gun pointed to his head, there was really just one choice left to make. AU aftermath of 8.06, Southern Comfort. Trigger warning for suicide.

Pre-Series Fluff – 4-year old Sam, 8-year old Dean, Awesome Bobby...and a dash of John – Bobby never doubted that John loved his kids, but the father was missing so much; so many precious moments that would never return. Like making pizza with a four-year old...

Tag to 8.06 There's a reason Sam didn't try to find a way to get Dean out of Purgatory. Hurt/traumatized Sam Angst Dean Benny & Amelia

A vet gets a call to the scene of a fire, where she finds an injured puppy. Then she meets a man called Dean, who seems just a little crazy. Also, there's a witch in there somewhere. Set vaguely after the S6 finale; no spoilers past 6.22.

AU Tag to 8.06 – Hurt Sam / Guilty Big Brother Dean – "I just don't want to fight about this anymore." It was the last thing Dean would remember Sam saying before it happened; before a truck ignored a stop sign and raced through the intersection, slamming into the passenger side of the Impala.

"Though Castiel was no longer sure if his Father was out there waiting to be found, he did have something to believe in—his friends." Sam is shot by hunters while Dean is gone, leaving Castiel to pick up the pieces. While Sam fights for his life, Castiel wonders whether his faith will be able to save his friend. *Limp!Sam, Awesome/Worried!Castiel, BigBrother!Dean, one-shot*

Season 8 Southern Comfort tag.

AU Tag to 8.06 – Hurt Sam / Guilty Dean / Garth...being Garth – Nobody moved as the faint ping of the cursed coin falling to the floor was lost in the sudden deafening sound of a gun being fired at close range. A gun that had accidently gone off during the brief struggle. A gun that had been aimed directly at Sam.

Season 7 or later in Season 8...your choice – Sam swallowed as he blinked against the unexpected sting of tears; touched that after everything they had been through, most of Dean's life – including his brother's stupid email password – still revolved around him.

Coda to 8.05 "Blood Brother." What happens after Sam meets Benny? Dean feels like Sam left him to die in Purgatory...but how does Sam feel? Sam explains to his brother why he quit hunting. Based on the promo for 8.06 "Southern Comfort," so spoilers for that episode.

Season 8 – Dean swallowed, having spent his entire year in Purgatory thinking about – worrying about – his little brother; having had so many things he wanted to say and ask when he finally saw Sam again. But it was clear from Sam's vacant expression that Sam had absolutely no idea who he was.

Season 8 – "Where's Sam?" Dean asked, feeling his heart hammer in his chest as adrenaline began to flood his system; his body preparing to fight while his mind buzzed with potential reasons for why a vampire he trusted and a demon he hated would be standing together in nonverbal solidarity.

Dean Winchester has just turned eighteen. The Impala is now – and newly – his, and he's looking forward to the first long drive with just him and Sam and the open road. What could go wrong?

"Sam," John Winchester's brooding voice suddenly fills the silent kitchen and Sam freezes in shock. It's the same tone that summons up the memories of hunts across the country, of broken promises, and of a fight that left him with only one remaining family member that acknowledges his existence." Sam gets a voicemail from a person he never expected to hear from while at school.

"Purgatory had been pure—it had made things easy. You killed or you were killed. There was no middle ground, no shades of grey. You fought to insure that at the end of the day, you were the one left standing. In his dreams, Dean was still there." Dean tries to reconnect to a world he doesn't understand anymore and to a brother he's still angry with. *limp!Sam, PTSD!Dean, one-shot*

AU. Pre-series. Dean is 17. Sam is 13. Dean gets injured on a hunt and Sam is left alone to continue working with John. Sam thinks this will be his moment to shine but he can't seem to do anything right. But when Dean unexpectedly leaves for college, things go from bad to worse for the youngest Winchester. Lots of hurt Sam!

Tag to "We Need To Talk About Kevin." There's plenty of guilt to go around for Sam and Dean, especially after Dean finally learns what happened to Sam. Brotherly bonding.

The version that absolutely will not be turned in to the teacher, Ben Braeden, so help me God! Another "Heaven, Hell and A Mechanic" fic.

Sam just has a cold—a completely normal, regular cold. He assures Dean that he'll be fine for a few days while Dean goes on a hunt with Bobby. Sam; however, gets worse. Can Castiel take care of him until Dean returns? *one-shot, Sick!Sam, Awesome!Castiel, BigBrother!Dean, no slash*

A quiet night becomes a blur of destruction with no warning…this story brought to you by a happy, bouncy plot bunny. Post 2x02 ELAC

A derelict mountain-top hotel, a blood-thirsty beast and a supernatural monsoon; what could possibly go wrong? Hurt!Sam hurt!Dean some comfort/awesome!Winchesters all around. Post 6x15 "The French Mistake"

Hunt finished, Sam and Dean find themselves with a Sunday and nothing to do.

Early Season 5 — AU — You never really know what you've got, until it's gone — Warning: Suicide, brotherly moments — Emotionally Hurt!Sam — Angry!Guilty!Big Brother!Dean

Dean has never been one for celebrations, although when he was just a kid himself, he made sure that Sam's birthday, Easter and Christmas were suitably observed to keep his baby bro happy. So when he wants Sam to help him mark an important occasion, how can Sam turn him down? Even if he has to wear a silly hat. A one-shot. PS Watch out for the fluff!
