You should check out Lostatc's Ben Braeden Winchester AU series on Fanfiction. She wrote most of it pre-season 6 so it doesn't incorporate Dean living with Lisa, but Dean and Sam raising Ben on the road after Lisa's death. No Sam/Dean which makes this purely gen brother relationship.

She's brilliant.

I've read this, but thanks anyways! Have a good weekend

Have you read ladyoneill's Lay Your Weary Head To Rest (http://ladyoneill.dreamwidth.org/20475.html)?

It was written for the Dean/Castiel Big Bang 2010, so there are no spoilers for season 6. Actually, it's completely AU from season 6.

The author's summary: "In the final battle of Armageddon, Dean is severely injured. As he suffers through pain and multiple surgeries and the possibility of permanent disability, Castiel is granted a reward by Heaven that Dean struggles with understanding, Sam makes a decision that throws Dean for a loop, and a ten year old boy finds out his father is the man he always wished it was, but nothing like he expected. Somehow these four take something very broken and dysfunctional and make it into a family."

Personally, I loved this fic to pieces! In fact, I'm probably going to go and re-read it right now. Lol!

Thanks, (insert babbling about finale and its impact of D/C but has been cut out due to spoilers) this might help me with my make-it-hurt-less fan fiction binge that I'm having instead of reading a book... thanks again, you're assisting procrastination.

FINALE WHAT FINALE? There is no such thing. >:I Season 7 better rock the destiel bromance or I will just die.

If you want to read a book what about Supernatural: One Year Gone, by Rebecca Dessertine? (Kripke's assistant) It's set between season 5 and season 6, while Dean is living with Lisa and Ben. They all go to Salem on vacation (which turns into a hunt). I'm only a few chapters in, so I can't give a solid opinion on it yet, but Lisa is sassy, and Sam is sneaking around in there, so at least there is that. Obviously since it is published it isn't slash (boo!), and is Dean/Lisa, but we all know how that ends anyway. The point is, Ben is there having a sort-of-father-son thing with Dean.

no... I'd like to read it. Can I get a link? Thank you!

I don't know where you'd get it online (aside from e-books, possibly). It's an actual ink-and-paper book. I bought it at Coles.

i'll have to look for it then. Thanks again.
