Dean as Sam's Guardian

[duvat.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for fics where Dean is Sam's legal guardian. The only one I've seen like this is The Art of Balance by SciFiNutTX. Basically I don't care if it's AU or not, I just want Sam and Dean to still be brothers but for Dean to be legally responsible (regardless of whether or not the paperwork is forged) for Sam and see how they deal with things like CPS or maybe even striking it out on their own.

Oh, there's a really good pre-series one in which John agrees to give Dean custody in case they have problems while John's on a hunt. It turns out to be a brilliant idea when Sam's principal thinks he's being abused & calls his CPS buddy. It's sweet and funny and in character. At one point, the boys are like, "Yeah, sure our dad beats us [he doesn't]. But he doesn't have custody, so what are you gonna do about it?" Look under the CPS tag & I'm almost positive you'll find it. Dean works in a bar, and Sam is ~17.

Yup, that one is the art of balance, which is the one I linked. It's a good fic!
