Hi, all,

I'm heading out on vacation and need some good reads. I have requests for two specific stories and recommendations for mostly teen!Dean-centric fics:

1. Story where Sam is with John (and maybe Mary). Dean lives with an uncle, I think Ray, who is abusive. Sam and Dean become friends and John goes to save him.

2. I think Mary and John are estranged and think the boys are dead. John finds a mysterious photo of Sam that leads him to Sam/Dean. All eventually reunite.

3. I would like recs for any story in which Mary and/or John lose both boys, or just Dean, and are reunited later. I'm not picky about rating but prefer not to have Wincest. I have the link for "Familiar Faces" on fanfiction.net.

4. Recs for any story in which an abused Dean meets or interacts with John or Mary, or any other parental unit who try to protect him. I know "In Shadow" for this one. I am good with Sam being part of the fic as long as he is either with Dean or part of the family trying to help him, just not the only one needing help. I'm in the mood for strong/damaged/in danger Dean.

Thanks!
Holly
