afflicted Dean/Cas general search

I'm looking for Dean/Castiel fics where one (or both) of them are physically or mentally afflicted and somewhat dependent on the other. I'll take gen too.

Examples of what I've read/am looking for:

Hummingbirds - Mute!Castiel

Ghost Dance - brain damage/mentally ill Dean

(Those are both beautiful by the way. Check them out.)

Unsuffer Me (http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/1838088.html) has deaf!Dean after the apocalypse. Dean's not really dependent on Cas, but after a lot of resistance he finally lets Cas teach him sign language, and Dean is able to temporarily regain his hearing when Cas uses his grace while touching him.

Have you read "Lay Your Weary Head To Rest"?

http://ladyoneill.dreamwidth.org/20475.html

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.

You didn't specify whether AUs were okay with you or not so I hope you don't mind.

These are AU:
Dream As If You'll Live Forever (http://commodoresexual.livejournal.com/136906.html) : Cas hasn't spoken a word to anyone in years and is a drifter who works various odd jobs to finance himself. Dean is a guy with a violent temper who grew up in foster care and has just gotten out of prison for a stupid judgment call. The two cross paths in a pay-by-the-week boarding house run by an eccentric older couple (Bobby and Ellen).

Unsaid (http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/1684669.html) : AU in which John and Mary both died in the fire and Dean is deaf. He lives in an orphanage, and he’s just six months short of eighteen when someone in charge decides that a deaf kid must go well with a mute one and gives Dean a new roommate.

These are not AU:
In the Silence Afterward (http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/975100.html) : After Lucifer rises, Dean goes mute. This fic is very angsty.

The Sound of Silence (http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/1705396.html) : Dean's not in control when it happens, but he's finding ways to come above it. Mute Dean.

Keep Your Eyes on the Road Ahead (http://libraryofsol.livejournal.com/172518.html#cutid1) : Castiel is falling and Dean doesn't know how to stop it. Blind Cas.

My Eyes Are An Ocean (http://libraryofsol.livejournal.com/103321.html) : It's amazing what you decide you can get away with when you can't see a damn thing. Blind Dean.
