Be Awake by candle-beck
The Doors of Time by Felisblanco
Candle-beck has a real feel for both Sam and Dean but I can see her Dean so clearly. The audio fic is awesome. It's not as long as I'd like but it's one of my favorites. Sorry, my computer is crap and I can't give you a link.

Thanks! I love Candle_beck, but I haven't yet read this one--yay!
Here's the link for anyone else interested Be Awake (http://archiveofourown.org/works/202609)

These stories are in Sam's POV but all he can think about is Dean, Dean, Dean. It's intense. I love all of them!

The Ballad of the Invisible Boy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1017905) by Dollylux

This is a story of adolescence. This is a love letter for the slow burn, for Led Zeppelin, for the 90s. This is the first of two sets of stories about how Sam and Dean didn’t fall in love. They never had to. It was always there, this desperation between them, like a real, breathing thing. When they came together, it was inevitable. As sure as continents colliding, as the phases of the moon and the life and death of stars. This isn’t a love story, but it’s a story of love.

The sequel to "The Ballad of the Invisible Boy"
Two Headed Boy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1997235/chapters/4327308) by Dollylux

Sam's life from sixteen to twenty-two years old. This is a story of the last days of innocence during a sweltering Southern summer when Sam is so in love with his brother, he can barely stand his touch. It's the pain between them through lies, through jealousy, through seeing each other with someone else. Theirs is a story of leaving and Stanford, of Dean feeling lost and Sam nearly losing himself without his brother. It's fire and reunion and a love never lost - ever-present and no longer deniable.

And a timestamp for the Invisible Boy series
The Provider (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2681033) by Dollylux
Sam and Dean have their first real Thanksgiving. Set at the bunker in 2014

I've read these. Thanks!

All Wincest/Romance, mostly AU (sorry, but I don't know many DEAN dean fics):

Underneath it All (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1941900/chapters/4195563): 74k. Jensen Ackles was always good at acting, pretending. So good in fact that he is the FBI’s favorite undercover guy. He has more undercover operations under his belt than he’d like to remember, and after his latest stint with a ring of human traffickers he really thinks he deserves a break.
Unfortunately there’s a new criminal organization on the rise, and all attempts to infiltrate and take down the Padalecki family have failed so far. Which is why Jensen finds himself faced with a new assignment, one that no other agent qualifies for and that he really doesn’t want. Because trying to seduce the most powerful man in the Chicago underworld? Not really high up on his list.

Lot's of VirtualPersonal's fanfics (http://virtualpersonal.livejournal.com/253875.html) go back and forth between POVs and they're all REALLY good and really lengthy. Normally, I'm a Sam kinda gal myself, but I love Dean's part in all these stories.

The Outlaw Dean Winchester (http://runedgirl.livejournal.com/49070.html): Not from Dean's POV, but it's focused on him. 37k. When Sam and Dean’s loyalty to each other keeps them saying no to Michael and Lucifer, Zachariah sets out to prove that it’s only out of a twisted sense of obligation. That if they weren’t brothers, what would be between the Winchesters would be nothing like love.

And, of course, you've probably already read the famous Who Watches Over Me (http://archiveofourown.org/works/396200?view_full_work=true): 96k. Jensen Ackles is an ex-Navy SEAL turned civilian bodyguard with a mysterious past. Jared Padalecki is a flamboyant Hollywood star known for his action movies who's been receiving death threats. The case sounds like Jensen's idea of a nightmare, and he takes it on against his better judgment. Jared drags him to clubs and parties and award ceremonies without any care for how difficult he's making Jensen's job, and to his complete lack of surprise, they hate each other. But when hate changes into passion, it begins to reveal something deeper between them, and Jensen realizes he's in over his head. Can he still do his job and keep Jared safe? Or will he fall prey to his greatest fear and fail someone... again?

Thanks! When I get back in the J2 mood I'll look at these :)

Lighter side fics:

There's Pattycakes (http://purple-carpets.livejournal.com/20261.html) by purple-carpets:
De-aged!Dean, birthdays, timeouts and Sammy (who's way too big to be a little brother, anyway)

Dean as a Roadie on tour in Running on Empty (http://archiveofourown.org/works/378010/chapters/616950) by chemm80.

Dean taking Home-Ec because chicks do (and there's food). Real Men Don't Make Cheesecake (http://apocalypsos.livejournal.com/1086261.html) by apocalypsos.

Supanachuru (http://dejuramortis.livejournal.com/25406.html)by serephim_grace is hilarious so even though it's not (strictly speaking) Dean-centric. I'm linking to it anyway. =}
Sam and Dean watch hours of anime (badly written by Chuck) in an attempt to discover how to avert the apocalypse.

More serious stuff:

This one's outsider-POV, but still focused on Dean. Accidental Documentaries (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5832) by Tassos:
As Class Historian, Antonia is determined to make the best high school documentary that anyone has ever seen, but the first few weeks of school bring to light more than expected when a freshman girl goes missing, the new kid Dean takes an interest, and old traumas may be the key to the present.

If you don't mind Girl!Dean Don't Call Me Daughter (http://archiveofourown.org/works/240209) by LaviniaLavendar (There's no sex with John):
John could never clearly remember the following months, at what point he became unable to voice more than the first syllable of his daughter's name, or when he stopped trying to reach for the rest of it.

Look Back in Anger (http://archiveofourown.org/works/268671/chapters/422905) by vailkagami
When John Winchester is possessed by the yellow-eyed demon and asks his son to kill him, Sam does so and disappears, leaving his injured brother behind in a hospital.

For some Hurt!Dean, Open Your Eyes (http://dodger-winslow.livejournal.com/82568.html) by Dodger Winslow:
It was just an aswang but it managed to slam into Dean. It isn't until he sees the blood that he realizes he's been hurt. It's a good thing John doesn't panic or Dean would know how bad it is.

Films About Ghosts (http://archiveofourown.org/works/449238) by bellatemple goes into Dean's mind after Hell (warning: it's not a comfortable place)

One of my favourite Angsty!Dean fics ever is Perspectives (http://archiveofourown.org/series/4810)by PhoenixDragon.
Dean is more fragile than Sam realizes because Dean has always worked hard prevent him from seeing it. Until, in that one moment, Dean can't hide anymore, can't be 'the big brother' and everything falls apart.

Thank you for the recs. I've never tried girl!Dean before, I'll have to take a look :)

• Infrangible Road http://ddayspring.livejournal.com/26140.html
Summary: infrangible \in-FRAN-juh-bul\ adjective -- not capable of being broken. Although the scenery changes, the path winds onward--and detours always lead back to the main road. A Supernatural Gen AU in which John raises his sons in Lawrence.

• Relative Gold http://ddayspring.livejournal.com/28198.html
Summary: When Sam is supposedly killed when he's four, the remaining Winchesters struggle to carry on. But the fracture never heals, and they go their separate ways. Supported by Bobby and Jim, Dean learns to hunt and have a life. Then, on his way to compete in Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, he meets swimmer Sam Polanski and finds there are greater prizes than bronze, silver, or even gold. But when have Winchesters ever won anything without sacrifice?

• Lazarus Came Forth http://oselle.livejournal.com/370868.html
Summary: Dean returns from hell and finds himself alive and alone in the stark landscape of an America that has gone terribly wrong. Adrift in hostile territory and pursued by hell's bounty hunters, he sets out on a desperate hunt to find Sam. Apocafic and AU for everything after Season 3.

• There's A Hole In The Fabric Of My Reality http://etrix-lists.livejournal.com/8924.html
Summary: Dean has always been a pain in Sam's butt, causing trouble in school, causing trouble at home. When he disappeared for 7 days the summer of 1997 everybody assumed it was either an overlong party or something to do with a girl. Sam didn't think so. Sam had visions of wings and water and light and death. So when Dean knocked on their front door like a storm-wrecked stranger, Sam stood back and wondered who had shown up at their house.

• Ghosts Of Future Past http://etrix-lists.livejournal.com/8369.html
Summary: Dean already knows that the future isn't looking good. Sam's sneaking out at night and lying about it. Dean's pretty sure the angels are dicks and that they're lying to him, too. It isn't until he gets a visit from his own ghost that he realizes just how bad it's going to get, and the future that was becomes part of Dean's memories of the past. Surely, with all that he knows, he can fix things—if he can stay alive and sane, that is

• Brother Mine http://etrixiswriting.livejournal.com/52273.html
Summary: John was out on a hunt when the call came: Kate Milligan was dead, and John was named in her will as the guardian of her son—his son—Adam. Pissed but knowing his duty, Dean pulled Sam out school during exam week, and they went to Windom in the thick of the Minnesota winter. 7-yr-old Adam was a lot like Sammy at that age, but Dean wasn't ready to accept him as another Winchester. Then the boy's life was threatened and all bets were off.

• Dust Devils http://sharlot1926.livejournal.com/4694.html
Summary: The Winchesters fight time, a vengeful spirit, and a wind demon in order to save a little girl from the monster who's stalking her. Hurt!Dean, Heavily Dean-centric

Immortal Verse http://strangevisitor7.livejournal.com/23915.html (Xovers Highlander/Smallville/Firefly)
The Begining: It all started when Dean Winchester sold his soul to the crossroads demon to bring Sam back from the dead. Instead of dying at the end of one year Dean is returned to life and he is now Immortal. Duncan MacLeod (The Highlander) becomes his teacher

Berserker Verse http://archiveofourown.org/series/6238

Angelwings http://archiveofourown.org/series/6229

Oh, wow, this is going to keep me delightfully busy. The only ones I've already read are Berserker and Ghosts of Future Past. I can't wait to get into the others you've recommended!

I think I might have something in my repertoire that could interest you, even though it might not be the obvious choice. It's a xover-Outsider-POV, but you don't need any knowledge past SPN canon and Dean is very much at the center of attention the entire time:

The Truth Lies Beneath (http://archiveofourown.org/works/439132): Dean Winchester is one of the most notorious criminals that ever graced the FBI’s most wanted list. Now he’s back from the dead (again) and in custody, facing trial for his pretty exceptional list of crimes. It’s up to the experts of the prestigious Lightman Group to unravel the mystery and find out whether Dean is criminally insane or a stone-cold psychopath. Or something else entirely…

Now that I think about it, my A Hunter's Legacy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2290475) is also pretty Dean-centric, even though it's more of an ensemble piece, both are also available on LJ, if you like that better.

And because I make a point of not completely self-reccing, check out gekizetsu's phenomenal Turn of the Wheel (http://gekizetsu.net/sn/wheelmain.html)-Verse, if you haven't read it yet, it has a magnificent winged!Dean.

All new to me--I'm going to be in a Dean-coma from all these stories. Thanks.

Well, there you go then, have fun!

Thank you. Thank you! (Can you believe I've never read any gaelicspirit?!) I've heard how good they are, but now I'm definitely going to read them.

Awesome request ;-)

I have several that will fit your request, and since I'm mostly Dean-focused (with a hearty love of Sam, of course) my delicious (https://delicious.com/marlowe97) might offer your even more.

These are all gen and mostly case-fics.

The Carver (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4359361/1/The_Carver): Something is carving people up like jack-o-lanterns. When the boys take a case on Halloween, Dean revisits high school from a new perspective, Sam explores his hatred of the holiday, and they both learn that the past is haunting everyone. Very well-done casefic, Dean is acting as a teacher (history) and Sam as jani- sorry, custodian!
It's a real well-written story, scary and smart, not too angsty even though s3

Tír na nÓg (http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/613973.html)When Ben gets abducted by fairies, Dean heads out to get himself taken as well, hoping that he can locate Ben and bring him back. He quickly discovers he's in way over his head as the sidhe throw him in the dungeons. Meanwhile, back in the human world, Bobby has his hands full trying to keep the fairies from destroying the town, and a soulless Sam from blocking Dean and the Braedens' route home.
Very good story about the journey through Underhill, the battles fought and the interesting characters Dean met. It's damn well-written and fun and sad all at once

Fork in the Road (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5285129/1/Fork_in_the_Road): A ghost is killing golfers, forcing Sam and Dean to pose as caddies. Post It's a Terrible Life.
Great case-fic, well written and with a good take on both brothers during the horrible time that was late season 4.

(not too sure about the Dean-centricity here,but it's so damn good - read it anyway!) The Garden (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4781468/1/) The Winchesters arrive in a small town in Nebraska to investigate bizarre happenings, but not everything they discover is what it seems. The boys are faced with a whole new kind of supernatural & faced with coming together as brothers & partners again
Awesome case, creepy tale, great OCs and a lot of goodness in it.

Less travelled by (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6428368/1/Less_Traveled_By): High school is hard enough without an absentee father, restless spirits, haunted cars, a missing classmate and a sexual predator on the loose. Then again, the Winchesters never did anything the easy way. Dean is 17 and Sam is 13.

Carouselambra (http://community.livejournal.com/brihana25_fic/28028.html): 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. 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. Awesome, creepy, painful and delightfully vicious.

Haze (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3039132/1/bHaze_b): High school is a difficult place, especially when you're at the bottom of the social ladder. But there are worse things out there than jocks, pop quizzes and Dostoevsky. When students start dying, can Dean keep Sam safe? Very good and well-written story about Dean's and Sam's first hunt alone.


Edited 2015-02-22 07:21 pm (UTC)

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)


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

Wearing and Tearing (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5455614/1/Wearing_and_Tearing): Pre-Series. With Sam at school, John and Dean must find a way to connect and survive. When John is hurt in a hunt, Dean is forced to pick up the pieces. However, when a ghost threatens to take Dean down, it's up to his father to keep him from fading. Wonderful and PERFECT description of John and Dean post-Sam-leaving, heartbreaking and still a great case. Really good!

Hear no evil/a>: The trickster left the brothers in need of a clean hunt. An explosion turns a routine spirit hunt into anything but clean. Dean must deal with the ramifications, while Sam tries to finish the job and help his brother pick up the pieces.


In Reverse (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In_Reverse): 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. Long but good

Canaveral (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4254156/1/Canaveral): Just why does Dean hate Florida so much? Cocoa Beach, fuglies, allergies, and car accidents – Dean simply can’t catch a break. Pre-Season and early Season One. Hurt!Dean. Rated T for Language.

And deposit your trash... (http://innocentculprit.livejournal.com/4212.html#cutid1): (this hurts, it's so much "Dean"): Between the Winchesters and the Apocalypse lies engine trouble and a bad breakdown in communication. Oh, and ghosts. Nasty ones. Very angsty, with a GREAT plot and nasty ghosts. Fantastic style.


And of course: Red (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3169840/1/Red) Something evil is killing treeplanters in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, possibly the same predator that Dean narrowly escaped years before. How Grimm will things get before the brothers figure it out?

The Woods are lonely, dark and deep (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4954718/1/The_Woods_are_Lonely_Dark_and_Deep): Missy Bender was three things. She was obsessive. She was insane. And she was in love – with a tall, beautiful stranger who looked real purty when he was hurting. But unfortunately for Dean Winchester, one thing she wasn’t was still locked in the closet…


Rumspringa (http://july-july-july.livejournal.com/34916.html#cutid1): I don’t know if you notice anything missing, like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor. I don’t know if you even notice at all. Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door.

Fire in the Hole (http://www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=big_pink&keyword=Fire%20in%20the%20Hole&filter=all): After Sam leaves for Stanford, Dean falls hard and John doesn’t catch him. Their long bloody year comes to an abrupt end in the silver mining district of western Nevada, where both father and son must face their worst fears. (this here is the lj-link and still working. I also have the pdf, so no fear if it's gone!)


(http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4335279/1/Hear_No_Evil)

Blind Spot (http://pdragon76.livejournal.com/34039.html): Dean's on a slow burn after a bloody confrontation with an old nemesis. Sam's got his hands full picking up the pieces. The Crossroads Deal isn't the only timer ticking.

Some people paint (http://minkmix.livejournal.com/177144.html): Dean POV. A hunt goes wrong and the Winchesters become the next victims of a demented doll collector.

Removed (http://minkmix.livejournal.com/97040.html)A band of psychotic hunters are looking to end the life of Sam Winchester. When Sam is nowhere to be found, they take his brother instead...

And well .... there is a ton of stories more in the delicious. I rarely filter "Dean-centric", because most of my bookmarks ARE Dean-focused. Not all might fit your request though.


Ah, and I've also some self-recs, if that's ok.

...and bad girls go everywhere (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/23939.html) Good girls get torn to shreds, bad girls go everywhere... Dean has to dress up as a girl for a hunt. He doesn't like it.

German for Cake (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/23689.html): "Sleep-deprivation is an enhanced interrogation-technique"

Bad Medicine (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/23506.html#cutid1) Dad is pissed. So pissed, and with good reasons. So Dean decided it's better to hide. (pre-series)

Haptic (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/4649.html#cutid1): After being held captive in the dark with no human contact, Dean needs more physical contact than usual. Undefined season, but Bobby can walk.

everything starts somehow (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/16826.html): Pills of unknown origin have been keeping him up and down and tethered to the ground. But it's not a problem. Right?

Scared (not so) straight (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/18648.html): He’d have to learn to take the consequences into account and decide after contemplating them if it was worth the risk. If a bag of sweets and a six-pack of beer was really worth it.(pre-series)

Tic Toc (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/10011.html) Dean is tied to a chair. And the clock is ticking...

It sucks (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/726.html): Prompt was: Dean thought he remembered everything about hell, but he'd blocked out his sexual relationship with Alistair. Until now.

Telling Sam (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/2263.html%22): Some things are meant to hurt. Some time in s5.

I second kiimber on your awesomeness! ♥

You are so awesome, marlowe78! Did you just give me a beautiful list that took three postings to cover? Thank you my fellow Dean admirer.

Rumspringa by july_july_july. Teenchester. Gen.
Summary: "In October of 1995, Dean walked out of an apartment building in Tampa with the clothes on his back and a semi-automatic. Then he walked off the reservation."

BlackIceWitch is working on the third part of her apocalyptic series. I just finished the first story and it's amazing.

In The Shadow Of Dark Wings (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10415211/1/In-the-Shadow-of-Dark-Wings)
AU. Dean Winchester thought he was doing the right thing when he left his brother alone, but he was wrong. Pestilence spreads a new virus over the world and Dean struggles to gather the few survivors in a place of safety, train them to fight and give him a chance to save Sam, and the world, from the Devil. Gen. 270K wc

In The Fires Of Hell (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10605186/1/In-the-Fires-of-Hell) (317K wc) is the second and In The Lies Of Celestial Intent (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10933957/1/In-the-Lies-of-Celestial-Intent) (wip) is the third, which she updates regularly.

You didn't mention crossovers, but kikkimax has one with Criminal Minds - 'Defect' and 'Hell and Back' that can be found here (http://fanfic.otherplaces.net/crossovers.htm).

I appreciate the apocafic rec--those are some of my favorites.

Hi there,
A lot of what I would rec is already up there, I'll go with "La división" by roqueclassique and "I seen the moon", by Kaylennz.
Clarice

Thanks. Here are the links for anyone else interested.

La Division (http://roque-clasique.livejournal.com/153707.html)

I See the Moon (http://archiveofourown.org/works/799092?view_full_work=true)

Edited 2015-02-24 02:45 am (UTC)

this may be a weird rec (but you said you didn't mind any pairings) but to make a nest (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1618769) is dean/everyone. It starts of sounding non con but is enthusiastically consensual by the end.

There are so many recs that I second & third, and here are three more;

Of Sorrows Tears https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3463211/1/Of-Sorrows-Tears
Pixies were fun loving mischievous creatures, mischief that causes Sam and Dean a world of trouble. Will jealousy be the death of them?

Hanging on by a Thread https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3322271/1/Hanging-on-By-a-Thread
When Dean loses his leg in a terrible hunting accident the brother's are forced to reevaluate their priorities. Can Dean still hunt? And is it really still worth the risk?

Breaking the Wings of Dragonflies https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4186059/1/Breaking-the-Wings-of-Dragonflies

A rough school, an angry gang, and violent retribution leave Dean broken. Can his family find a way to bring him back from his dark world? Hurt/angst Dean and Sam.
*warning, this is a WIP that hasn't been updated in forever, BUT It is mostly finished and worth reading. It also dark, read the warnings*

Thank you!
