Gen. Souls; human blood & Demon!Dean; visions  
All general searches, and all gen-oriented. Self-recs are totally cool as always. Thanks!

1. I'd like to read about the nature of souls.

There was a fic I read some time ago by silver ruffian where Death gave Sam's soul to Dean, and he had to carry it around with him on the way to Sam's body. (And
I think we've all seen smaller asides, usually by Cas, in fics about the effects of Hell and et cetera on human souls, too...) I thought it was interesting to see how it looked and acted, in a way that was different than ghosts and spirits. In that particular fic, is was of course Soulless Sam's antithesis; all emotion and feeling without conscious barriers in the way. I'd like to see more of that, whether that's the direction it goes in or not. Though as always I prefer the subject to be Dean :p... Sam's okay if it's adorable enough, however. Maybe Sam saves Dean from Hell and cannot yet return him to his body. Maybe it's Cas healing the demony bits post-hell. Maybe the monster of the week literally bares his soul... Anything!

2. Something involving Demon Dean and human blood, not counting the cure. We saw Crowley go through a human blood addiction. What about Dean?

And sans addiction... What if the cure would only work for so long, and Dean needed more shots of human blood every so often, or in certain cases, to keep him from lapsing back into demonhood?

3. Outsider POV on Dean and Alastair's screwed up relationship. By "outsider" I mean someone that knows Dean. Sam, Bobby, etc... There was a really good one I read called
These Bones of Mine by amaresu, and another called Sometimes It Is Barren by rockpaperscissor. Alastair does not have to be there in the flesh, or even alive. Maybe Dean's just talking to someone about it, and we get to see their reactions.

4. I literally cannot find one single fic involving Sam having visions of Demon!Dean. Not one!

5. I can't imagine it would go very well if a shapeshifter or something attempted to download Dean's memories post-Hell... I would be 100% okay for crack on this.

It's technically wincest, but it's pretty mild, in case that's not your thing!

Oh, my... Maybe it's been a while since you've read this, because I'm not sure I would call masturbating over your brother's soul and reflecting over your lifelong habit of the doing so mild! 😂 😂

My brother actually looks almost exactly like a short version of Sam, acts quite a bit like him too, so it's like, extra squick for me. I've always found, too, that people who write wincest- even when the story isn't so explicit- tend to have an interpretation of the characters that doesn't jive so well for me.

But, there's other people here looking for #1 too, so I'm sure somebody will be happy.

Okay, so for fic that kinda fit #3 I have
Images of Broken Light (http://archiveofourown.org/works/85148) by amaresu: Dean may have been brought back from Hell, but Hell followed after him. Faced with losing Sam to Ruby and surrounded by lies, Dean finds the only one telling him the truth is the demon that destroyed him. Slowly Dean finds himself being sucked back into Alistair's embrace. (not really outsider POV, but it's really good. Tho you actually may have read that once already since you read These Bones of Mine from the same author)
Midnight Meetings (http://archiveofourown.org/works/5793) by amaresu: Dean starts to disappear at night and Sam follows (also from the same author)
Where Your Love Begins (http://archiveofourown.org/works/502728) by Misachan: There are much sharper weapons than knives.

#5 happens...somewhere in If I Knew Then What I Know Now (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1413922/chapters/2969608) by whatUseeintheshadows: Given an opportunity to change his family's destiny, Dean Winchester finds himself back in 1983 as his four year old self, yet with his adult memories still intact. But can he alter the events of that tragic night? And if so, will young Dean, his family, and Castiel be ready to survive all the evil that destiny has in store for them? pre-series AU
It's a really long fic, but it's soooooo good

I read a fantastic one yesterday dealing with souls. Basically, Sam is still trying to save Dean from his deal, and he comes across this spell that will combine both of their souls into one body. It ends up working, and Dean's soul survives inside Sam after the hellhounds tear Dean's body apart. The challenge is how Sam and Dean deal with the aftermath of having to share one body.
