All general searches, and all gen-oriented. Self-recs are totally cool as always. Thanks!

1. I'd like to read about the nature of souls.

There was a fic I read some time ago by silver ruffian where Death gave Sam's soul to Dean, and he had to carry it around with him on the way to Sam's body. (And I think we've all seen smaller asides, usually by Cas, in fics about the effects of Hell and et cetera on human souls, too...) I thought it was interesting to see how it looked and acted, in a way that was different than ghosts and spirits. In that particular fic, is was of course Soulless Sam's antithesis; all emotion and feeling without conscious barriers in the way. I'd like to see more of that, whether that's the direction it goes in or not. Though as always I prefer the subject to be Dean :p... Sam's okay if it's adorable enough, however. Maybe Sam saves Dean from Hell and cannot yet return him to his body. Maybe it's Cas healing the demony bits post-hell. Maybe the monster of the week literally bares his soul... Anything!

2. Something involving Demon Dean and human blood, not counting the cure. We saw Crowley go through a human blood addiction. What about Dean?

And sans addiction... What if the cure would only work for so long, and Dean needed more shots of human blood every so often, or in certain cases, to keep him from lapsing back into demonhood?

3. Outsider POV on Dean and Alastair's screwed up relationship. By "outsider" I mean someone that knows Dean. Sam, Bobby, etc... There was a really good one I read called These Bones of Mine by amaresu, and another called Sometimes It Is Barren by rockpaperscissor. Alastair does not have to be there in the flesh, or even alive. Maybe Dean's just talking to someone about it, and we get to see their reactions.

4. I literally cannot find one single fic involving Sam having visions of Demon!Dean. Not one!

5. I can't imagine it would go very well if a shapeshifter or something attempted to download Dean's memories post-Hell... I would be 100% okay for crack on this.

Hello wonderful people. Hope the new year is treating you well.

I am looking for a specific story. Can't remember if its actually Wincest or not but Dean becomes pregnant but I can't remember if its solely from a spell or if its a spell that worked because of wincest. All I remember is that Dean almost dies during delivery and then later the YED or other demon comes for the baby when it is six months old. I do remember other hunters (the usual, Caleb, Jim, Bobby and Ellen) gather to help the Winchesters protect the baby. During the attack, Dean is pinned to the ceiling and his stomach slashed just like what happened to Mary.

Thank you so much in advance if you can help locate this story. I've really been wanting to re-read it.

(note added) I remembered a little bit more of the story and wanted to add it in case it helps someone remember it. The boys know the demon is coming and Dean makes Sam promise that no matter what happens, he is to protect the baby...not worry about Dean...protect the baby at all costs. Hope this helps. I really, really want to read this story again. Thank you!

So I have pretty much spent my entire day looking through the Hurt!Dean tag and a couple others for a general fic. I am not looking for a certain one but I would love if the fic had: Sam being super protective of Dean, Cas in there somewhere, Bobby or Gabriel being in the fic would also be really cool.
I don't mind what kind of hurt it is (broken bones, amnesia, fever etc.) just so long as at least one of the above is in there and that it isn't a death!fic.
I would prefer it to have no ships but I don't mind either way.
Extra bonus: If you can find a Protective!John hurt!Dean fic too.

One of the crossovers that I really enjoy reading is Supernatural and Harry Potter.  One area I really enjoy reading is where Harry Potter is found to be the son of Dean Winchester and others is where he's a brother, adopted brother and any other family relation with Dean and Sam.  I have read several stories already but always on the look out for more.  Does anybody have any recommendations?
