Hi, a while back I read a story that was all kinds of awesome and I'm hoping you wonderful people can help me find it again. It was a WIP last I saw, but what was there so far was long and wonderfully written. Here's what I remember of the storyline...
It starts out pre-s1 when Dean, hunting by himself, gets a call telling him that Lisa has died and oh yeah, he's got a son that he should come and claim. The fic goes on about Dean getting custody and taking up a permanent residence at Bobby's house. John wasn't happy when he first found out about Ben, but that eventually changed.
What I really loved about this fic is that it points out that Dean's not the big dumb idiot most stories proclaim him to be, since he did turn a walkman into an emf meter in canon. He gets the patent on that design and starts selling them to other hunters and eventually works out several other designs and becomes a sort of hunter gadget go-to guy.
When the storyline catches up to s1e1 Dean and Ben both show up at Sam's apartment in the middle of the night and while Ben sleeps Dean talks to Sam. There's also show of Dean demon-proofing the apartment and they discover not long after that Brady's possessed.
I don't really remember much of what happens after that, but I'm hoping this is enough information for you awesome people to help. Thanks!
Found!
Paternal Evolution and its sequel. Thanks!
