Now, twelve years later, he's hunted down every single Skinwalker he could find and killed them, unaware that his oldest is still alive. That the monster that took his child hadn't taken his life, just his humanity. That she'd turned his child on the command of a human slave ring that traded in Skinwalker children. Dean ended up saved and raised by the Hunter Bobby Singer, but what's a young pup to do when his foster father goes missing and the only one who can help him find him, is a Hunter who despises his kind and would kill him on the spot?
Time Has Come Verse (https://archiveofourown.org/series/7241)(one of the best Criminal Minds/Supernatural crossover I've read, gen)

They are separate. They are neutral. Dean Winchester is not built like them.
In Reverse (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In-Reverse) (gen) - After Faith, a job has the boys looking for missing hikers in Wyoming. While Sam worries it’s connected to what happened to Dean ten years ago, Dean wonders if Sam would be better off back in the world of normal.
