hospitalized!boys, mental illness, psychological trauma

Hey all,

I am totally in the mood for any story where any of the boys (Js or Winchesters) have been hospitalized due to some sort of psychological trauma. I was watching the first season again (yay for syndication) and was curious about what Sam would have said to the doc in "Asylum"...they can be adults or children...doesn't matter.

Also, it would be awesome if anyone could suggest some stories where Sam or Dean had a major trauma in childhood and the other brother finds out later and helps gets them through it...something like What a Father Won't Do and What a Brother Won't Do (WiP) by [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com].

And the last (promise!)...any story where John blames Sam for Mary's death (and their whole lives, pretty much) and abuses him because of it...and Dean takes care of Sammy. I don't want any story where Dean abuses Sam, too. That's just...wrong.

Wincest, gen, J2 all welcome...just no het (eww)

Thanks!

I actually just rec'd a bunch of stories that fit your last request. I think the first 2 and the last one are gen (it's been a while since I read them).

On The Turning Away (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2819973/1/On_The_Turning_Away) by Oldach's Dream (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/965073/Oldachs_Dream)
Summary: Daddy. A label that had no sentimental meaning. A threat. ‘Daddy’s coming, go and hide.’ Sammy hated the word daddy.
Dean would do anything to keep his little brother safe and healthy. He would provide for him, no matter what the cost. They didn’t need their father. Not today, not ever. AU, what if they’d had Max’s childhood? Angst and smarm.

A Little More Tequila, A Little Less Demon Hunting (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3110914/1/A_Little_More_Tequila_A_Little_Less_Demon_Hunting) by SpikeLover7 (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/223254/SpikeLover7)
What if Sam and Dean had had Max’s childhood? AU except for obvious necessary details pulled from the first scene of the pilot. Lots of mini Sam and Dean in the form of flashbacks.

Playing Monsters (http://community.livejournal.com/omg_fics/11021.html) by [livejournal.com profile] albydarned
Pairing: non-explicit Sam/Dean, Sam/John
Warnings: character death, child-abuse, non-con, AU, angst ... this fic is not intended to be light-hearted.
Summary: It was just a game ... a game that those boys used to play. They'd pretend that they were monster hunters, that they were some kind of heroes. The problem was that they started to believe that all of that nonsense was real, you see?

No Fortunate Son (http://nocturniquette1.livejournal.com/tag/no+fortunate+son) by [livejournal.com profile] nocturniquette1
Pairing: Sam/John, Sam/Dean
Warnings- Incest, NonCon, Suggested underage, Violence
Summary- A grave misconception leads Dean Winchester on the hunt for his father.

The Long Way Home (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3879595/1/The_Long_Way_Home) by 1Pagan3 (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1342049/1Pagan3)
Summary: AU. Dean makes a decision to force his Dad to become the father his brother needs, but when he finds out how badly his plan backfires, it's going to take everything he has with the help of his friends to bring Sammy home. !Crazy John!

Pairings: Mild Sam/Dean, can be read as gen.

Notes: AU from IMToD really.
Summary: Sam isn't quite right in the head and has been committed.

Further And Further Out (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3740163/1/Further_And_Further_Out) by cottonmouth (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/689606/cottonmouth)
Summary: John never disappeared before the pilot episode, so Dean never went to Stanford to find Sam. Two months later and they discover the demon went after Sam after all… Alternate Reality, graphic wincest in later chapters.

Disorder (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3223787/1/Disorder) by Kohadril (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1000394/Kohadril)

The Storyteller (http://toldthestars.livejournal.com/17932.html) by [livejournal.com profile] toldthestars
Summary: AU, I kept on calling this my "Dean is Crazy" story.
Warning: This isn't really your conventional happy ending...to put it sweetly. Um. I'm sorry?
There's no link to the second part, so Part 2 is here (http://toldthestars.livejournal.com/20276.html).


These ones are borderline; the boys are either working a case, or mistakenly commited by someone else:

Moths on the Mirror (http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/21221.html) by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter
(Dean/OMC and Dean/Sam, 18978 words, nc-17, extremely dubious consent but not between Sam and Dean)
Summary: There's something wrong in Red Haven Hospital for the Criminally Insane, but no one's going to listen to a psychopath like Dean Winchester.

Characters: Sam, Dean and Jess
Prompt: Sam as a modern Cassandra--sane or insane, real or imagined.
Notes: A pre-series au. Hurt/comfort, obviously.

Case Study 24-71X (http://pheebs1.livejournal.com/82709.html) by [livejournal.com profile] pheebs1
Pairings: none, (gen)
Summary: A psychologist presents his insane patient Dean Winchester to his students. Kind of AU, I guess. Spoilers for the series up to and including Nightshifter.

The Ghost of Somebody At His Side (http://runedgirl.livejournal.com/43984.html) by [livejournal.com profile] runedgirl
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Summary: The night before Sam Winchester meets with his 12th grade guidance counselor for the second time, something very bad happens. One of those somethings that takes only a ridiculously short amount of time – in this case, about three minutes – yet manages to change the course of two lives forever. Or: Sam goes to Stanford, and takes most of Dean's heart with him.
