I'm moving house and it is super stressful, so I'm looking for upbeat fics with happy endings to read in my fleeting moments of spare time.

I'm after casefics where BAMF!Dean saves the day using his smarts. Doesn't have to be extremely long fic or purely casefic. Bonus points if its scenarios that are very close to canon, like noticing patterns other hunters don't, and sneaky stuff like tricking Eve into biting him etc... I think I've read too much hurt!Dean fic lately and I really need aggressive protective Dean. I'm cool with angst and show-levels of pain etc, but the happy endings are an absolute must. Nothing ambiguous, no 'happy if you squint' etc. Stories which really highlight how intelligent, cunning and skilled Dean is. Other character's POV (Sam, Bobby, Cas etc) on Dean is great, as is outside POV, cos we all know Dean doesn't see that in himself. Self recs are a-okay with me!

Please no: permanent injury, death!fic, blind/deaf/illiterate!Dean, non-canon AUs (canon-divergence is fine)

I strongly prefer slash of the Destiel variety, but will happily take Wincest or Gen fics too. Please no het fics, but mention of ex-girlfriends and whatnot is fine. For any fics which include sex: top!Dean only please.

Learning How To Fly by

faithburke. Gen. Crossover SGA.
Summary: Adult birds push their fledglings out of the nest to teach them to fly. John Winchester parents by a similar philosophy. Dean finds himself far from home and struggling to succeed.

I don't know how well these will fit your request. I don't have any Destiel bamf!Dean.

Sour Cherry Pie Life (http://faithburke.livejournal.com/50588.html) Dean has retired to the civilian life. Too bad no one told the serial killer currently stalking teenagers in Indiana.
A crossover with Criminal Minds. Dean is living with Lisa and Ben. Gen

The Amazing Incredible Adventures of Freakboy and DykeGirl. (http://archiveofourown.org/works/695404/chapters/1279159)
Future-fic, AU in that Papa Winchester is still alive (or alive again, whatever). Told from the POV of Kim Watson, a bounty hunter who encounters a solo Dean; the two form an unlikely partnership. It features shapeshifters, human bad guys, dinosaurs, extended families, necromancers, body- switching....
This is quite long, and was abandoned before being finished properly, although it ends on a high note.

I have a few that I'd consider fitting, though it's all gen.

Crossing the line (http://gekizetsu.net/sn/crossing.html): Blood, bridges and brothers, over and over and

Bargains (http://marinarusalka.livejournal.com/224116.html): Sam and Dean investigate a missing-person case in North Carolina, and discover that the situation is weird even by Winchester standards.

Joshua Tree (http://mouldiwarps.shriftweb.org/stories/SPN_Jtree.html) The Winchesters take a break from demon-hunting to help solve the mysterious death of a rock-climber in Joshua Tree National Park.

Blood on the tracks (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3244523/1/Blood_on_the_Tracks): Dean and Sam ride the subway for something that takes one victim per year. They didn’t take it seriously – until it takes Sam. (Really awesome case-fic with a fantastically frantic, smart Dean and poor, hurting Sam. And a little bitty hurtDean, too (just at the end, just minor))

The Dope that we smoke (http://disneymagics.livejournal.com/1217.html#cutid1): Sam and Dean are hunting a supernatural creature in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. Unfortunately for Sam there's more than just the supernatural danger to be concerned about. hurt/delirious!Sam heroic/hurt!Dean

What if you don't (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2982022/1/What_If_You_Dont): When their Dad doesn't return from a hunt, twelve year old Dean and eight year old Sam have to deal with an unexpected relative and a sinister plot that could leave one of them dead and the other lost forever... (ok, maybe it's not your thing? As it being weechesters? Still a good fic with smart Dean!)

The tomato-plant doesn't grow mangos (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_summergen/88173.html): If you lived next door to the Winchester family in 1993, would you call Child Protective Services? Wonderful OPV with a great view on the teenaged Winchesters

Pictures on the Wall (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3169935/1/Pictures_on_the_Wall): A week ago it was the ghosts of an abandoned mining town. Now Dean's been awake for four days and thinks the motel room's pictures are moving.

Hope there's something for you in there :)
