Boys are separated as kids and Dean's a firefighter

Hello everyone. I'm desperately looking for a story I read awhile ago.

It's an AU story about how Sam and Dean were split up as kids. Sam gets adopted by a family and years later has dreams about Dean and realizes he has a brother and wants to find him. Sam and Dean meet later when Dean rescues Sam from a burning house (Dean's a firefighter). The boys later meet Missouri who tells them that the timeline's been mixed up and they're actually supposed to be fighting demons. etc,etc
If anyone can tell me the name or author of this story it would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. if anyone has any other "split up as kids" stories they'd like to recommend i would really appreciate it.

EDIT: Just wanted to let you all know that I managed to find the story I was looking for, but I wanted to thank you all for your help in trying to help me find it. Also, I'm still open to any recs for "split up as kids" stories.

No wincest please.

I'm pretty sure I know which one you're looking for. It's by irismay42. I'm pretty sure it's posted on ff.net and on supernaturalville.net, but I can't remember the title for the life of me, and I don't have links to either of those sites.

Do you have a link to the story?

Yes, that's the one I was thinking of. Is that the one? The rest of these are really good, too.

Old Ghosts (http://samdean.archive.nu/series.php?seriesid=41) and its sequel is a brilliant split-as-kids fic.

I can't help you but I'm in love with your icon - it made me cry. I've never had an icon do that to me before.

The Sunless Land (http://lyra-wing.livejournal.com/66128.html), by [livejournal.com profile] lyra_wing, is really good.

And if you don't mind a self-pimp, I have a separated-as-kids 'verse: It starts with As Certain Dark Things (http://azephirin.livejournal.com/25173.html).

I have a self-rec for SamnDean being split up as kids: Quia lux non est (http://kroki-refur.livejournal.com/168804.html?mode=reply) (gen, 55,000 words-ish). Hope you enjoy!
