I wasn't sure about the Sam/Jody pairing, but I tried it. To my surprise, I loved it! That was so intense! Really great! Thanks for suggesting it!

2) I know two fics by morgana07 on ffnet, they're awesome.

Fangs and Fury
After another fight, Sam goes out to cool off when Dean gets jumped by vampires looking to use him as bait or food. It's up to Sam to find his brother before he's turned or killed & he's forced to call upon the last person he ever wanted to ask for help or risk losing Dean again. *Hurt/limp/angry/sick!Dean; Protective/concerned/worried/furious/limp!Sam (Benny's here as well)

Dungeons and Chains
After finding a clearly confused and not fully with it Sam chained in their new dungeon, Dean soon begins to learn why his brother's scared of the chains and also why Sam's so determined to stay chained up as something from Sam's year alone returns to try to claim him no matter who has to die. *Limp/ groggy/in shock/hurt!Sam & Over-protective/angry/worried!Dean. (OOC Amelia too)*

I've actually read this one! I loved it! This fic inspired my search for more fics of the same. Thanks for reccing it!

I've got a self rec for you- SPNJ2 Big Bang this year. Summary: Takes place after Southern Comfort, S8. The Vengeance Specter laid open wounds between the Winchester Brothers. A hunt goes wrong, which only deepens the divide. Just when Dean begins to feel like moving on and splitting up might be the best answer, a Pagan God drags Sam into a mission of absolution that he won't refuse. Dean discovers that his brother has been hanging on by a thread, and the year he was in Purgatory was much worse on Sam than he ever suspected. Cas, Benny, and, worst of all, Crowley see what he has somehow missed -- just how fragile Sam is. With a little help, Dean learns what Sam had been unable to share -- just how far he was willing to go do and what he is still going through, proving to Dean that he is still Sam’s stone number one.
