    Summary

    While Dean is in purgatory, Sam should be happy. This suburban life is what every man dreams of, and he has it, but its like he’s doomed to never be content with what he has.

    But maybe that feeling isn’t a curse, and it comes from somewhere. If she’s just willing to admit it.

    Summary

    The second Dean escaped Purgatory, he hit the ground running, forgetting the brakes, and left Sam as a disgraced afterthought. Like roadkill on the side of the highway. Everything spiraled before they knew which way was up. The truth was that Sam knew he’d messed up during their year apart, but he was working to fix things now.

    Sam's first priority was simple. A redo. That was, if Dean relinquished even a little control. Their 'reunion' had been a god-awful shitshow. Sam refused to let that lie, he refused be shrugged off, because…Dean was his world.

    They hadn’t been in the right place when they found each other again. Everything felt wrong, it was wrong, but Sam was ready to change it. This time, their reunion would count: it would act as a homecoming and remind Dean just how much he was loved—because Sam had nothing to lose.

    Summary

    Sometimes, true happiness comes at an unbearable cost. It's a fleeting light in the dark, a moment that slips through your fingers just as you try to grasp it. And then, all that's left is the taste of a desperate kiss, a promise screamed into the void, and the ache of knowing it was both the first and the last.

    Or

    The one where Dean confesses too late, realizes true happiness comes at a cost, shares a final kiss, and vows to bring Castiel back from the darkness, no matter what it takes.

    Summary

    Basically just filling in some blanks for Benny and Dean, back from purgatory and struggling with life in general and being without each other in particular. This first part is based on the Supernatural episode 8x05, "Blood Brother", with some of its dialogue taken directly from the script.

    Dean helps Benny hunt down his maker. Between beheadings, booze and boats, he tries to find a way to understand his bond with his friend.
    Not a master of the spoken word, Dean makes a bold choice.

     

    Listen. I just want those idiots to be happy, okay? If Sammy can go around hitting dogs, Dean can go feel up vampires. The man has been through a lot.

    Summary

    “What if you said yes?”

    “Yes? Yes to what?” And then it clicked. “Wait, you’re asking if Cas possessed me?”

    “It’s possible, we’re both supposed to be strong vessels!” Sam says defensively. “And if it was the only way to get Cas out—”

    “Don’t you think I’d remember that sort of thing, Sam?" Dean argues.

    Summary

    With Cas dead, Jack vanished, and Dean in turmoil, Sam turns to therapy. His search for answers leads him to the bunker’s surveillance footage, where he uncovers startling evidence that casts doubt on Dean’s account of Cas’s death...and Dean's sanity. Determined to restore a semblance of normalcy, Sam gets them back on the road. But their case takes a terrifying turn when Chuck reappears with a chilling revelation: the universe is targeting them in a deadly Final Destination-style game of fate.

    As Sam grapples with his own fears and a world seemingly set against them, he clings to the hope that reuniting his fractured family will be the key to overcoming their darkest challenges. Maybe once they’re all back together, they won’t need therapy at all.

    Summary

    A tag to S8 episode 6 Southern Comfort', angsty and Dean-centric. "It occurs to him that they can’t go on like this. His own resentment toward his brother had been a siren’s call to supernatural evil. All that animosity Sam feels toward him isn’t going to go away anytime soon, and it’s festering - distracting. It’s going to get one or both of them killed." How Sam and Dean got from the pinnacle of hostility displayed at the end of this episode, to the amicable, even-keeled partnership shown in episode 7’s A Little Slice of Kevin. First posted on FF.net but my sis says all the cool people are here (my first time posting on Ao3 - reviews are love).
