Post-Hell Dean  
Hey Guys, I have two requests:
1.I'm looking for some fics that are similar to The Road Begins by ElvisRose
Link:http://archiveofourown.org/works/2410850/chapters/5332553
Where Dean already went to Hell whilst Sam was at Stanford. Castiel must be in it. So basically Dean gets sent to Hell and is rescued by Cas while Sam was at Stanford and Sam notices his brother isn't quite how he remembers what with the PTSD and all. Also if u haven't already I reccomend you read The Road Begins its so good :)

2. Any fics that Deans PTSD is featured in would be great. Be it PTSD from the military or Hell.

Pairings wise I'm up for both Gen and Destiel but absolutely no Wincest.

Thanks Guys
Xx

I've got several recs for your request No. 2. All gen, Hell-related PTSD:

Fire or Fire (http://paynodebts.livejournal.com/1703.html) by lemmealone
Summary: It took less than an hour in Hell to send Dean mad. Sam doesn't remember what he did to bring his brother back, and in Oklahoma six months later people are burning alive.
(About 20K words.)

A momentary lapse of reason (http://zara-zee.livejournal.com/45517.html) by zara_zee
Summary: As soon as he shuts the motel door, Dean sags against it. It’s ridiculous that after everything he endured in Hell, after everything he did, he’s losing his shit over a goddamn dog. His shirt is stuck to his back, he’s still fucking shaking and there’s a pretty good chance he’s going to toss his cookies all over the puke-green carpet.
(Over 3K.)

A Pound of Flesh (http://archiveofourown.org/works/477501) by Mina Lightstar
Summary: Dean doesn’t eat cheeseburgers because he likes them; he eats them because he thinks he should like them.
(About 2K.)

Aftermath verse (http://tabaqui.livejournal.com/tag/aftermath) by tabaqui
(No summary given.)
(Over 11K overall.)

Night of the Hunter (http://gaelicspirit.livejournal.com/136953.html) by gaelicspirit
Summary: Hunting isn't something Dean can simply quit. Even if his family walks away; he's survived worse than loneliness. He's survived Hell. But when an ancient and dangerous breed of vampires and a mysterious hunter cross his path, Dean learns that Hell was just the beginning.
(Almost 100K of delicious plot, angst and whump.)

Wake Up and Fight (http://gaelicspirit.livejournal.com/121706.html) by gaelicspirit
Summary: When Sam is attacked and marked for possession by a 'Hell Bearer,' Dean will stop at nothing to save his brother. Pain and exhaustion he's handled before; however, adding to that the horrific memories of Hell may be too much for this world-weary hunter to bear.
(45 K, again great plot, angst and whump.)

You're welcome :)

If you feel like it, you can take a look at my PTSD tag (https://delicious.com/hunenka/ptsd) on Delicious, I've got more recs there, some Purgatory-related PTSD and a few others. Some are Wincest, but the pairing is always tagged so there should be no unpleasant surprises :)

Not read the fic mentioned, but this little ficlet has a scenario of what Sam might have had to deal with if he never went back and Dean and Cas still met: Reputation (http://otp-destiel.livejournal.com/31702.html). And this inspired a much longer fic along the same lines: Long and Lonesome Highway (http://sorka42.livejournal.com/240118.html).

Sweet merciful Christ, what a magnificent idea. I've only got recs for #2, though, but this is my JAM!

The Thing With Feathers (http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/679457.html?thread=9080609#t9080609) by jalover7
Length: 2399 words

Sam saved his brother from Purgatory weeks ago, but Dean came back different. Plagued by nightmares and panic attacks, Dean is withdrawn and nervous...and he hasn't said a word since Sam brought him back. Sam just wants to help his brother. One particularly hot summer day, Sam takes Dean to the park.

Wild Thing (http://mad-server.livejournal.com/69873.html?thread=3713009#t3713009) by mad_server
Length: 531 words

Prompt: Purgatory is for monsters. There's nothing set in place for a human and Dean is starving. What edible flora he can find is few, far between. When Sam punches through the world to get to him, Dean - though whip fast and dangerous from being hyper-alert - is rail thin, jutting hip bones, green eyes huge in his face. Sam slowly reintroduces Dean, not just to food and the comfort of a constant meal, but to warmth again, human interaction again, safety and caring again.


Different Names for the Same Thing (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8201528/1/Different-Names-for-the-Same-Thing) by nikiness
Length: 2543 words
Horror

No one comes back from hell whole, untouched. Dean Winchester is no exception.

Our Troubles Will Be Miles Away (http://sw0rdy.livejournal.com/35215.html) by sw0rdy
Length: 8657 words
Christmasfic

Outsider POV. Sam has sprung Dean from Purgatory, but the experience has changed his brother forever. Retired from hunting and in the throes of a breakdown, Dean finds himself miles from home with no recollection of how he came to be there and, more importantly, how to get back. Cue a kind soul and a little Christmas spirit.

You've Done All the Things That Could Kill You Somehow (http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/948439.html) by sw0rdy
Length: 24289 words

After eventually finding a ritual that worked, Sam has sprung Dean from Purgatory, but there are a couple of problems: one, Dean's re-appeared in an alleyway in London and two, he's so broken physically and mentally that he's been classed as a 'vulnerable adult' and has been placed under the guardianship of Social Services. When Sam arrives at the hospital he quickly realises that broken bones are the least of his worries...

Clean (http://verucasalt123.livejournal.com/220782.html) by verucasalt123
Length: 3250 words

Sam’s finally got Dean back, and Dean is not happy with the scruffy look.

Note: ... But it isn't that easy.

The Shape of Things to Come (http://archiveofourown.org/works/583229) by sparrow_lately
Length: 2325 words

Prompt: Dean's back from Purgatory, and things are finally settling down. Sam's not crazy, the Leviathans are gone, and life is actually...sorta peaceful.

Except for one thing. See, Purgatory's full of monsters - a few ghosts, yeah, but no humans. It's been months (years?) since Dean's seen a human being, let alone talked to one or touched one. Every time he has to interact with anyone besides Sam, it feels like his soul's being dragged out of his chest Alien-style until he's legit weak and shaky and feverish just from the human contact. But talking to people is part of the job, and he's Dean friggin' Winchester, so he deals with it. Basically, I could use some maladjusted Dean freaking out about ALL THE GODDAMN PEOPLE, and some understanding, caring!Sam, not pushing him for explanations, but just *being* there."

As Long As There’s Christmas (http://archiveofourown.org/works/634997) by nwspaprtaxis
Length: 2317 words

Dean has always been the big brother, but now, maybe, it’s Sam’s turn.

Prompt: It's Dean's first Christmas after Sam and Bobby rescue Dean from Hell (no Ruby, and if they got help from the angels rescuing Dean they don't know it). Since the rescue he's been going through severe PTSD, and doesn't seem to know where he is or remember Sam or Bobby. You can go the wild feral route if you want, but I see him as catatonic with Sam trying to bring him out of it. Then finally Sam gives him his present, the amulet he went back and retrieved. Something about that, the Christmas lights, and the eggnog start to draw him out of it.

Prompt: It starts as a tingle under the skin...

Vertigo (http://evitably.livejournal.com/8367.html) by evitably
Length: 1200

Just because Dean does not remember hell does not mean it never existed, only that it's become a part of him.

Note: This is, technically, listed as Dean/Alastair, but the only due to implied, uhh, past rape.

A Commentfic (http://spn-hurtcomfort.livejournal.com/5443.html?thread=488515#t488515) by Anonymous (sigh....)
Length: 997 words

Prompt: Dean has an especially effed up relationship with pain now, Sam finds out/realises.

Here Comes the Flood (http://etoile-etiolee.livejournal.com/21523.html) by etoile-etiolee
Length: 4500 words

Written for maypoles, the prompt coming from her wishlist at hoodie_time. She wanted physically deaged!Dean with a twist, unable to deal with Hell and Purgatory memories as his emotional capacity is one of a kid. Hope that's what she wanted.



Now... Right here is my #1 favorite fic, but it's a bit of an investment.

It is a Criminal Minds crossover, and we don't get to the PTSD until the sequels... But... This fic is too good to miss. Consider watching a few episodes of Criminal Minds and coming back. Particularly, episodes 1, 2, and 14 of season 1, and episodes 17 and 21 of season 2.

Defect (http://www.fanfic.otherplaces.net/defect.htm) by kikkimax
Length: 39686 words
Dean is finally captured by the FBI just as his time runs out.

Hell & Back (http://www.fanfic.otherplaces.net/hell.htm)
Length: 42006 words
Sequel to Defect. Dean's having a little trouble adjusting after his return. Sam's going to help if it kills them both.

Notes: Kikki's depiction of Gideon is beyond flawless. I've never seen characterization this good anywhere else. It's done with such care in every aspect- from Gideon's at times insensitive working manner to his near-limitless compassion in situations few others would be able to stomach- that I dare to say it has a purity of character the show usually lacks.

And Lord, is this fic sad. It has a happy ending, but...
