spnstoryfinders | LFS: Dean Appreciation

Hello wonderful Community. I am in search of fics where Dean is his usual self sacrificing, over protective, caring, thoughtful self but also features Sam knowing all of the sacrifices and protectiveness that Dean shows him. Fics where Sam acknowledges everything that Dean has ever done for him. Perhaps Dean is injured on a hunt and refuses to rest but Sam pushes back and tells Dean to rest, let him take care of things for once. Stories where Sam tells Dean in an uncharacteristic chick flick moment how much he appreciates what Dean has done for him. Stories where Sam might do things for Dean that are subtle that he feels are little kindnesses that he can give back to Dean (making sure he always gets first shower, or he uses fabric softener just for Dean's clothes or anything thoughtful like that). Basically stories where Sam knows what Dean does for him and he tries to give some of that back. Would be considered a bonus if Sam stands up to John and tells him how great Dean is (protective, cooks, cares and provides for Sam better than John does. That Dean did everything right on the hunt that it was John that messed up). Please no WIPs. Pre-series are definitely welcomed, so are gen, wincest and self recs! Thank you in advance!

For a second, everything they need is right there, in curled fingers and tiny brushes of skin.

Can't Make Tarnished Silver Shine (http://kimonkey7.livejournal.com/71168.html) by kimonkey
The blood there’s not Sam's blood, and Sam knows that. The blood there - soaked through three layers and tacky against his skin - is Dean’s. He figures Dean must have dragged him to the car, hugged up against his chest, walking backwards almost half a mile.

All But Risen (http://gekizetsu.net/sn/risen.html) by gekizetsu
"Don't think I don't love you," Sam said.

His first steps in life were towards Dean and away from his father.

The boys head to a small town in Iowa where they spent two years of their lives, and Sam discovers a hidden piece of his brother's past, one that effects the present in more ways than one.

My Brother's Keeper (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3049987/1/My_Brothers_Keeper) by Wolf Maid

In a Desperate Land (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3577231/1/In_a_Desperate_Land) by Kansas 42
Desperate times call for desperate measures. Dean makes a decision with a little help from Jim Morrison.

In His Shoes (http://lily48.livejournal.com/8208.html#cutid1) by lily48

“So, how does it happen?” Dean asks. “How do I die?”

It Mattered (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3342914/1/) by Emma15
They got arrested all the time. They got driven out of town all the time. They got threatened by sheriffs and police officers all the time—so this… it mattered somehow.

Living Out Loud (http://albeitslowly.livejournal.com/165682.html) by H.T. Marie
Dean's sick, and the only thing standing between him and Death is his life.

Beach Blanket Poltergeist (http://hansbekhart.livejournal.com/203871.html) by hansbekhart
He doesn’t mind so much when the hellmouth finally spins thought and awareness and life away from him. He just wishes he didn’t have to be alone.

Sam's perspective on Dean changes over the years.

In the Absence of Miracles (http://community.livejournal.com/nixa_jane/63320.html) by laytoncolt
"You don't need me, Sammy," Dean says, quietly, and it hurts to hear it out loud, but it doesn't make it less true. "Never have."
Sam just looks away, and it's not like him to back down from a fight. After a moment, he says, "I used to lie to myself about that, too."

Like it says - ten things Sam hasn't missed about this life, and one thing he has.

Happy reading!
