Dean with injured back, caused by John.

[gooferdusty.livejournal.com]

Hi Guys,

It's been a while but I need your help! What I remember is this:

1.John somehow injures Dean's back, either purposely or through neglect.

2. Dean runs away, puts weight on (by eating cheese!) and works at a hardware store under an alias. He has built himself a life and reinvented himself. I believe a guy he works for has feelings for Dean, but Dean only likes him as a friend.

3. Sam tracks Dean down ( can't remember how or why) Dean tells Sam he likes living with his new identity. I'm pretty sure it's Sam/Dean.

Hope that's enough to go on. You guys haven't failed me yet!

As ever mods, I hope my tags are ok!

Hi,
Do you know if that is the complete story? I don't remember it ending as abruptly as that.

I couldn't get the above link to open, but I found this. Maybe it has a more complete ending...

Thank you so much for taking the time to find another link. Sadly, it ends the same way. :(
I don't know, maybe that's how it really does end, but I could've sworn it ending differently. :/
Oh well, I guess I'll never find out now!
Thanks once again for your help.

It's the same ending, actually. I'm pretty sure that is it, but it is a while since I read the whole thing.

LOL, don't we all?
But hey, I remembered I had that story saved to my computer, since... yikes, 2009, and yup. Still the same ending.
