mean!Sam, Dean tortures, Sam redeemed

Okay. So I had a dream last night, and it was one of those Supernatural dreams. Season four-ish, and Sam was influenced by Ruby/demon blood and was mocking Dean for breaking in hell. And with me being me, there was some Dean/Cas. 

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone could recommend fics that involve the following (since I wouldn't even know how to search for these):

a) Sam being mean to Dean about something relating to Hell. 
b) Dean freaking Sam out by using the "skills" he picked up in Hell (torture, high pain threshold, etc.)
c) Sam redeeming himself for being kind of a jerk to Dean during season four. 

I know that's a little vague, but a girl can try! I love longer fics, and especially Dean/Castiel (or even Dean and Cas friendship). I also really do love Sam, and would like him to be redeemed.

The only person in s4 who needed to be redeemed was Dean. Or have you never watched that season? How many times has dean punched Sam in the face and beaten him now? Anyone keeping count? How many times did Dean call Sam a monster in s4 alone and did he ever apologize? He had pretty choice words and Shitty behavior for sam in s5 as well. Just because you deangirls and Dean/cas fans made the supernatural fandom a place of hate toward so many fans of Sam that they left does not mean you won, or that Dean as the show or the fandom has made him is any kind of man. He is not! You people are so desperate for a man, a " real" man, a leader, even in stories, that you're like a man in the Sahara, drinking sand and saying that it is water. As always, I am not even angry when i get to the end of these rants. Just terribly sad :\

Oh, and you probably read it, and it's an AU (like, no supernatural stuff at all AU), but it kind of fits request c, with added Cas/Dean:

- It's going to be a shitty wedding with shitty people and a shitty atmosphere and Dean feels shitty about going.

Wow, funny how people get worked up about other people's requests. Seems a bit like they might need a real life?

Ah, well. For the not-real-life-fun to be had, I have some that might fit your requests:

Maybe for c) Midnight Confessions (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5643949/1/Midnight_Confessions): The boys are in a place now where they feel like they can talk to one another again, and the cover of night gives them the courage to talk. No slash/wincest Series of one shots. S5 post 5X5

Hm, also maybe for c) (though not a perfect fit): Telling Sam (http://marlowe78.livejournal.com/2263.html): Some things are meant to hurt. Dean tells Sam who broke the first seal. It goes about as well as expected.
As I said, it's not really the best fit, but for me (and I wrote it, so I know how the author wanted it to be ;-) ) Sam does redeem himself in it, for a lot of things.

for b) (I think) Muscle Memory (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5551571/1/Muscle_Memory): Very little of Hellish education has real-world applications. Dean discovers it's more than enough. Early season 5, sometime after 5:4.


I apologize if there is nothing in it that fits your requests exactly. I haven't read most of these in a long time, and I'm not SUCH a big redemtion-fan, so I tend to not read them when I know what it's about (I can get hooked into them when it's done sneakily ;-) )
But I thought some close-hits are better than nothing, right?
