1. With the record-setting heat out west, I'd love to see a fic where the brothers have to deal with the weather while on a hunt. Still dressing in suits, having to put up with crappy, barely functioning hotel AC. The cause does not need to be supernatural in nature.

2. Any 4th of July fics. Pre-series or during.

3. Any stories where they have a case that touches on the history of Lawrence. This August marks the 150th anniversary of Quantrill's raid. Maybe spirits get a little stirred up with planned commemorations?

The Specific. I know I've read it before and I'm not really sure of the title or I'd search by that. Anyway... TNT was showing "In the Beginning" this morning and it reminded me of a fic where through the years, Dean slowly picks up the items and quirks that define him and John sees the hunter that he had met in the past. For some reason, I want to say it was called "Becoming Dean" or something similar.
