Specific fic: Sam/Dean domestic/done with hunting after Sam gets hurt  

Hi! Looking for a fairly long (and pretty old, I think) fic that is about Sam and Dean's domestic life after Sam gets a serious injury during a hunt. Dean thinks Sam isn't going to survive and when he does Dean says they're done with hunting for good. It's a slow burn and builds to Sam/Dean as they adjust to their new life. I remember a few random details:


— I think it starts with a line that goes something like "Dean almost ran 3 stop signs on his way to the hospital the day Sam woke up."


— Dean rents a small apartment nearby and has to help Sam get upstairs when he is discharged from the hospital. I think Sam has a bad leg injury or something.


— Dean works on a construction crew and gets a blood blister on his thumb at one point, and he drills a hole in his thumbnail at home and Sam is grossed out.


— Dean goes on a few dates with a woman who works at the grocery store (who maybe has a child?) but keeps thinking about Sam on the dates.


— Sam might work at the library — this detail I'm not sure about (might be from a different story).


Any help is greatly appreciated! I remember loving this fic but can't find any trace of it on Google.
