When It's Over http://wynter-rebel.livejournal.com/22253.html (Gen, Death Fic)

Summary: After a horrible accident, Sam and Dean have to relearn what it is to be a family.

This fic made me BAWL like no other fic had. A wonderful story :)

Totally agree. I've only been able to read it the once (over 5 yrs ago) and I've never forgotten it.

The first fic that came to my mind was When It's Over, but I see it's already been recced :) Try these, too:

No Line on the Horizon (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5079415/1/No-Line-on-the-Horizon) by Shtuff

This Far, No Further (http://archiveofourown.org/works/623722) by nwspaprtaxis

And this one isn't exactly a tearjerker all the way through, but it's got plenty of intense Dean angst, it's preseries (Stanford era) and it's one of the best Dean-centric fics out there. . The 1300 Days (http://archiveofourown.org/works/695225) by stele3

Seconding No Line on the Horizon. You're gonna sob, dude.

I have a fic like that, if self-recs are OK-- a divergence where Lisa kicks Dean out when he believes Sam is dead after the S5 finale. It's gen, all about Dean's grief. The World Was Saved:

So I recently read a lot of fics by this author (bottom!dean though) and most of them definitely fit your request. But this is my favourite :

Summary : Sam and Dean have to do a follow-up job. Sure it's in a bdsm club, but they've played around before so what's the big deal? At least that had been Dean's thought until he found himself feeling over-the-hill and Sam surrounded by a host of drooling, gorgeous twinks. Based on this prompt at spnkink_meme; however, I have come to realize it is not a good enough fit for it so I'm crediting the inspiration, but not claiming a fill.
