I was reading Relative Gold by the wonderful Dayspring where four year old Sam is presumed dead in a fire and is illegally adopted. Sam and Dean meet again almost twenty years later on the team plane to the Greece Olympics; Dean, who's been living with Bobby for the last several years, on the shooting team and Sam on the swim team. (Note: I have to pause to highly recommend the site Dayspring's Desires where you'll find terrific Supernatural, Highlander, and Harry Potter stories.) Anyway, I started to wonder if there were any stories where the boys were not raised by John. They could be taken away by Social Services. John could turn them over to Bobby, or Pastor Jim, or to Mary's family. Or they could even raise themselves on the streets. Sam and Dean could stay together through the years, or be raised apart. Het, gen, slash, or Wincest, I don't mind. I'd just like to see a story where John meets up with his sons after many years of not contact. Are they happy to see each other? Or are the boys hostile to their absent father? Have they been hunting; or leading another life?
Don't bother recommending the Different Road series by San Antonio Rose and Jenny. Read that one several times and will read it many times more.
Mmmmm, so many good ideas, so little writing talent. I'm forced to rely on the talent of others for good stories.
