LFS: Dean Appreciation

[serenity-pen.livejournal.com]

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!

Sam with Dean & Alastair; non-canon Angels; Protective!Bobby; souls; etc

1.) I'm looking for fics where Sam gets to observe Dean and Alastair's relationship (Gen or otherwise). Great examples of this are Amaresu's creepy stockholm syndrome fic These Bones of Mine and reapertownusa's whump-filled Through the Shadows of Hell.

2.) Fics that use a different interpretation of angels than they are in canon. For example, ones that don't take vessels, or act more in line with traditional Biblical depictions. (Meaning, I'm not looking for those AUs where angels are minor creatures on par with vampires, or Slave AUs, nothing like that.)

3.) Protective!Bobby on behalf of Dean. Somehow I haven't come across a lot of that??

4.) Preseries fics where Dean's more... Unpleasant fates/qualities (Alastair's apprentice, the Mark of Cain, etc) are hinted at or revealed, to the confusion of his family. Perhaps he's told his fortune, or comes under the effects of one of those many spells that are supposed to reveal or depend on innate qualities, or something that bares the soul. That kind of thing.

5.) Speaking of that, there's a specific fic I can't seem to find again where the boys find an artifact in the bunker (maybe it was a crystal ball?) and it shows them representations of their souls. I believe Sam was a tree and Dean was a dragon?

Gen for all of these, please, except for possible Dean/Alastair. I don't mind if they're just smaller events in larger fics.

Sam and Dean were part of a space exploration team. They traveled to cosmos to land on a type of celestial planet. They meet Cas. Sam and Cas hit it off right away. I don't want to tell much without giving it away for those that will read it. When I did read it, I don't think with was complete yet. It left off on a rather bad place. Please help.
