Hey guys, I'm looking for some general recs this time for the following:

1) Emotionally hurt/insecure!Sam - stories where Sam is uncertain about his place in Dean's (or someone else's) life, either due to insecurity or a misunderstanding/miscommunication.

2) Appreciated!Sam - stories where Sam goes above and beyond as a hunter/hero with research, fighting, etc. and someone shows their appreciation in some obvious way.

3) Commitment - stories where Sam and Dean commit to each other in some way (marriage, ritual, ceremony, etc.)

Mainly looking for Wincest, but gen and other Sam-centric pairings are accepted. Please don't rec anything with Destiel. Thanks!

I woke up in the mood for creepy/horror Supernatural related stories and one of the best that I read had Dean going to this strange town to find Sam who has been missing for a while. There Dean finds himself in a literal ghost town, while part of the town appears to have been burned away while some of the bodies remained. Dean starts getting warnings to leave, meet ghost children and other strange creatures. It is at the end revealed that it is not a real town, but that Dean is actually inside a comatose Sam's mind after Castiel pulled down his wall and his visions is just the damage his soul suffered in Hell. Dean manages to get to the "real" Sam and save him. It was also at least slightly Wincest.

I can't remember if I saw it on a post here of it was a story I came across on AO3. I just remember it was very horror/dark and I really enjoyed. I tried searching for my previous request here, but if I found it here it was not in one of my posts. If this sounds familiar to anyone I would be grateful forever. :(

Also anything similar would be good too. I just want Stephen King-esque type of stories to spook myself. I don't mind the pairings, although I won't read RPF as a preference and I do like Wincest more. But gen and other minor ships is fine, as I do prefer the focus to be in the cases than romance.
