All right, this is sort of general and I'm not even sure such fics exist. But if they do, I'm sure you all can help me find them.

Basically, I'm deeply curious as to what exactly John was up to during season one. By the time he reunites with his sons, John has clearly figured out a lot about Sam, about the YED, and so forth--probably more than he ever mentions on-screen. Has anyone written fic to fill that gap? I'll take short fics, but what I'd really love to see is a long fic that takes us with John through the entire season (more or less).

This should go without saying, but I'd prefer to avoid John-bashing.

Also, gen (or gen/het) only. NO WINCEST, please.

Thanks, you guys!
