Dean staying away leads to Sam saying Yes

[elle-rahen.livejournal.com]

So to be clear there are two things I remember from this fic, but it is possible that these two pieces are from two different fics.

1. Dean is determined to stay away from Sam to keep either of them from saying yes. But keeping away from Sam is slowing breaking Sam down. They run into each other on occasion and Sam asks Dean to end the separation and Dean is stubborn, sure that staying apart will keep them from saying yes. But in the end it leads to Sam saying Yes.

2. Sam says yes to Lucifer and Lucifer is pissed at Dean for breaking Sam down so much that he said yes out of despair and loneliness. (Lucifer may have also appeared to Sam as Dean in this fic, and after awhile Sam played along because it was comforting to him. Lucifer may have stopped asking him to say Yes and just offered him comfort as his brother.)

I think it was posted to livejournal and I think it had a second fic where Lucifer confronts Dean in anger telling him how Dean leaving Sam is what caused this to happen. Sorry this is a little vague on details, it's been awhile since I read it.

It is not any of these fics:
The Deepest Conviction by Evergreene
No Greater Love Than This by radiophile
Epiphany by Lanri

Thank you to anyone who has any idea what fic this might be!

I don't know the fic you're talking about, and idk how you feel about self recs, but I've written a couple of Sam-says-yes fics and they're similar enough to your search.

In my hands (is a promise, a lie) (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10450445/1/In-my-hands-is-a-promise-a-lie)
Where Sam's mind is shaky after Castiel breaks down the Wall, the cold is suddenly the enemy, and Dean is struggling to keep up with it all. Also, Lucifer's trying to fix the world the humans broke.

Dean's choices have consequences. As do Sam's. "Yes." 'Finally.'

Strung together on a thread (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10718982/1/Strung-together-on-a-thread)
Dean tells Sam to pick a hemisphere. He chooses Detroit. He thinks that maybe that decision shouldn't be so easy.
