Hello all!

More research-requests! I need all your gritty down-on-their-luck streetkid stories, where Sam and Dean (or Jared and Jensen) grow up together but without supporting adults. Or one of them has a family, the other doesn't. I generally prefer Sam-(or Jared-)centric stories and love Sam-whump more than is healthy, but I'm happy to read any suggestions.

Any reason for their predicament is fine - dick parents, dead parents, missing parents, whatever. Canon, AU, RPS - it's all good. Preferred pairings are Sam/Dean and Jared/Jensen, but gen is great too. Mpreg and a/b/o are not really my cup of tea, but I'm good with pretty much any other story elements.

A few stories like this that I've read and loved: What Was and What Could Have Been, All in the Game, yo, and We Were Here.

Thank you!
