Impala Conversations (http://archiveofourown.org/works/673522/chapters/1232331) by alex_l_kerr: "Sam and Dean joke, banter, bicker, and reconcile some rough truths." mentions of past child abuse, gen
Here There Be Tygers (http://kalliel.livejournal.com/206457.html) by kalliel: "The problem with Dean's memory is, it means he asks that question about eight trillion times more ("Sammy, are you okay? well, are you?") and as far as Sam's concerned, the answer matters even less. The problem with Dean's life is, it's supposed to end this year. And the problem with Dean's brother, well. Sam's still working on that one." An AU solution to Dean's demon deal, gen

Not too many, sorry. Most of my saved stuff is pretty Sam-centric.

No, its fine any contribution is very welcome, and all of these sound perfect. Well, perfect in the sense that they're exactly what I was looking for.
My evening is sorted out :)
Thank you

No, those were amazing - I particularly loved the Impala Conversations - they got Sam and Dean's dynamic perfect!!
Thanks for the rec :)

Again, these look perfect
Tonight's reading is sorted :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to reply - it is very appreciated :)

Oh My God...

They were all so good, thank you so much :)

All of Big Pink's stuff is fantastic!!

Carouselambra by brihana25
Eight years after a hunt with John and Bobby that ended in disaster, Sam and Dean return to Johnston, Iowa for what looks to be a simple job. It isn't long before they realize that things are not always what they seem, and it's not so easy to escape a horror that refuses to stay dead. The reality of the situation flies in the face of everything they know about spirits and forces them to confront their biggest fears. With one Winchester struggling against a nightmare that keeps dragging him back under, and the other reeling from the knowledge of what his brother is willing to sacrifice to protect him, they will have to find the strength to stand together and defeat the ghost that haunts them both, once and for all.

Perfect, thank you so much :)
I'm going to be so busy tonight
I really appreciate you taking the time to post this :)

OK, that first one has to be one of my favourite ever fics, it was amazing!!
Also Carouselambra - poor Dean (and poor Sam) :( I nearly cried, and I hardly ever cry, except for in Toy Story 3!
I have completely depressed myself but they were amazing, thank you so much :)

You're welcome! Actually, I remembered a couple of more fics that might fit your requests:

When It's Over by P.L. Wynter
FutureFic. After a horrible accident, Sam and Dean have to learn what it is to be a family again. Originally a oneshot about: What would make Dean stop hunting?
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2865835/1/When-It-s-Over
(permanent injury, deathfic)

The Art of Balance by SciFiNutTX
Dean 21, Sam 16. Sam is given a writing assignment in English class which leads him to make unsettling discoveries about his family.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4590890/1/The-Art-of-Balance
(Dean hiding an injury, bonus: smart!Dean)

Aftermath verse by tabaqui
About Dean, and what he might be like post-hell.
http://tabaqui.livejournal.com/tag/aftermath

66 Seals of Doom on the Wall by Adrenalineshots
There' something special about Dean. Something he forgot, something that Heaven wants him to remember. And there is something that Sam forgot, something that Hell wants him to never remember.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/89679
(lots of hurt!Dean, bonus: BAMF!Dean)

If you don't mind a self-rec, I have one that fits your #2-- an all-Dean coda to S5 wherein Lisa doesn't take Dean in, and hegrieves for Sam. It's called The World Was Saved:
http://septembers-coda.livejournal.com/4132.html

No, self-recs are fine with me - I don't get why people don't like them - you're not asking me to like it or read it, you're just saying it fits my search
Thank you for reccing (is that a word) - I'm glad you did, it was perfect :) You are a very talented writer :)

I guess people think self-recs are arrogant, but the whole reason I post fic is to share it, so I don'[t get why people don't like it either. :-) if I can't promote myself (which I really can't, not even in summaries!) no one else is gonna do it for me.

Thanks so much-- I'm glad you liked my story.

Another self rec , I'm afraid. Wall of Death (pinned to my journal). WIP and up to chapter eleven. Loads of hurt!Dean and Dean whump.

No, self-recs are fine (see my comment on Septembers_coda 's rec)
I don't have time to read it yet, but I will :)
Looking forward to it :)
Thank you for commenting

Anything by gaelicspirit, if you haven't already read them! http://gaelicspirit.livejournal.com/74899.html
If you want to avoid Dean/OFC, don't read the Brenna stories (although I find them as amazing as the resr of them).

These are some of my favorite hurt!Dean stories:

The Dog That Belonged to Himself (http://archiveofourown.org/works/338959/chapters/548446)
synopsis - Shortly after John Winchester lost his wife to demons, he lost his oldest son to a Skinwalker. 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?

Garden Verse (https://archiveofourown.org/series/10959) (please be warned there is some building Sam/Lisa and this is an incomplete verse)
synopsis of the first fiction - Six-year-old Dean brings home a mangy old alley cat, much to the dismay of Sam and Lisa, who are having a hard enough time coping with everything else that’s happened already.

Truth Hurts (https://archiveofourown.org/works/234627)
synopsis - Dean runs into trouble while John is away and his secret is far worse than his father could imagine.

Strangers and Angels (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2748108/1/Strangers-and-Angels)
synopsis - Worn out, the boys stop at a remote motel to get shelter from a storm.

The Obeisance of Memory (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4822628/1/The-Obeisance-of-Memory)
synopsis - AU of season 4. COMPLETE. "Look, I've got no idea who your brother is, but uh, I think I might be him. Just, y'know, alive."

Left Turn of Fate (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5801127/1/Left-Turn-of-Fate) (warning: it's not complete yet)
synopsis - When Dean meets Azazel in 1973, the timeline is altered forever in ways that no one could have foreseen. Sammy embraces the hunting life, Dean ends up on a milk carton and John gets a new set of priorities, and an unexpected partner on the hunt.

Steel Trap (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9895291/1/Steel-Trap)
synopsis - Pre-Series. Dean is breaking apart inside, drowning in depression. Something evil decides to take advantage of his struggle to push him closer to the edge for their own purposes. It will take the two other Winchesters to pull him back, but will they notice in time? Dean 18/Sam 14.

Brother's Blood (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8797113/1/Brother-s-Blood)
synopsis - When Dean goes missing on a hunt in New Orleans, John picks Sam up from Stanford to help look for him. (Pilot AU)

I strongly second the recommendation on gaelicspirit (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1128719/gaelicspirit), mirrordance (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/69110/Mirrordance) and film princess (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/968327/film-princess).

Last Child (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6241402/1/Last-Child)
synopsis - When Sam becomes ill, Dean's so-called routine questioning leaves him the unwitting target of the very thing they were investigating. Suddenly, it's a race against time and Sam scrambles to save Dean from something neither of them expected. Hurt!Dean

Here's a specific story I rec from Mirrordance:

Crash (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5825011/1/Crash)
synopsis - Set in the Stanford years. After a rough solo hunt, a hurting Dean camps out on Sam's couch. Sam's roommate notices a few things about Dean that Sam finds hard to hear.

Lost (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4633091/1/Lost) (warning: there's a sequel that is not finished)
synopsis - This was the only way to make sure that Sam lived and that they would both be okay without me dragging them down. *Final Chapter is up.* Rated for sexual & nonsexual violence, rape & language. No Wincest.

Bean Stalker (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5104264/1/Bean-Stalker)
synopsis - Chuck's books mustered a good number of fans. One of them turned out to be the wrong kind of fan. When an obsessed woman finds out that Sam and Dean are real, the consequences for one of them are anything but nice. 'Misery' style. Complete.

No Line on the Horizon (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5079415/1/No-Line-on-the-Horizon) (Warning: death!fic)
synopsis - AU. One-shot. It’s the middle of May when Dean shows up at his door at six a.m. with a huge smile on his face, and Sam knows something is wrong.

I also recommend Muffy Morrigan (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/1313916/Muffy-Morrigan) as a hurt/comfort/case writer.

My very favorite story is In Reverse (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In-Reverse) though.
synopsis - 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.

I think I've given you quite a list to go through. My list is a little bit longer than this so if you want any more recs, I'll come back and add to the list. Happy reading!

Definitely quite a list!! These will keep me busy for ages (not sure how much of it'll be happy, though!!)
Already read In Reverse - and yes it is one of my all-time favourite spn fics
