Looking for: Pre-show, S1, and/or S2 Dean-centric GEN fics  
Whew. Basically I have a friend who is just getting into SPN and is on S2 (past the Trickster episode, if that helps) and she is not into Wincest in the least and is likes Dean a bit more than Sam (at least at this juncture) so I'm trying to collect good gen fic recs with Dean as the central character.

Of course, I'm sure she'd take some Dean!whump as long as if there's comfort in the end, it isn't Sam slashy or whatnot, perhaps some het with Jo would be alright. But mostly gen, if you can find it.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, and just for me because I saw there was a tag for it, ahem, if any of you can rec any Dean/Castiel or perhaps Dean/Castiel/Sam (note order, heh) dancing fics, that'd be awesome. I've got this huge weakness for Castiel caught in the midst of dirty dancing or maybe Sam dancing against Cas on the dance floor while Dean gets all huffy and jealous. Or hell, an angelic dance-off in the garrison would be fine too. Anything really. ;)

Ficwriter has tons of great gen stuff. I think one or two het things and a whole Hope!verse for post show.

It's all good.

I'm sure she can find something to her liking.

If she doesn't mind really long fics, I'd start her with the Red series by Big Pink. It's what got me into the fandom.
The 3 main fics are pre-series through season 2.

Dammit. I'm too tired to make this all nice and sweet. So, sorry for this, but I'll jsut link you my delicious-bookmarks for s1 and s2 (all gen). I'm basically a Dean-slightly-more-favoring-girl, so your friend should be fine with them.
Sadly, I don't have them listed by length, so there're a few that aren't long.

Oh, and for LONG, she should start reading "In Reverse (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In_Reverse): After Faith, a job has the boys looking for missing hikers in Wyoming. While Sam worries it’s connected to what happened to Dean ten years ago, Dean wonders if Sam would be better off back in the world of normal.

Ok. Here are the bookmarks:
For season one-fics (http://www.delicious.com/Marlowe97/gen+s1?page=1)
for season two-fics (http://www.delicious.com/Marlowe97/gen+s2) (definitely read "Rush", which is the first on that list!)

Hi, I rarely get to rec anything here because most posters are faster and better than me at answering posts. But, I've a got a couple for you. They are more like character studies with Dean as the focus rather than horror casefic. One is pre-series and the other is near end season 2.

Pre-series with Dean during Stanford years by Chemm80, not a case fic, but fills in missing holes of what is Dean doing right after Sam leaves by spending a summer as a roadie with a rock band.
Running on Empty (sorry can't get the hyperlink to work here :( but here's the URL)

dancing
regarding the comment about dancing---the "ing dean" verse has some of these (a little cracky). The first "laughing dean" has Cas doing a touchdown dance while the guys are playing football. And i think there is a "Dancing Dean" where the guys are in a dance off with a group of demons. Sorry i cant find a link at the moment

Pre-series Dean and John (Stanford years):
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3677476/1/Dirty_Tactics
Author has written a lot of other great gen as well.

These might contain a bit more Sam than she'd like, but the focus is Dean and the Impala:

(There are two more sequels on the author page, but they're set after the Trickster episode.)
