General search - characters dealing with grief

[garaak.livejournal.com]

I'm looking for stories in which one of the characters outlives their partner in a way that feels believable. J2 is preferred, although the dead person doesn't have to be one of the Js.

Sam+Dean gen is also great, perhaps with a hint of wincest if it's not explicit (gencest is the best!).

I'm curious to see the characters go through the different stages of grief and how that changes their relationships, either between each other or with others. Examples of what I'm looking for (J2 or Sam+Dean):

- Character A lost the love of his life a long time ago. Hasn't let himself love anyone else until Character B enters the scene. Complicated romance ensues, with Supportive!Character B and a lot of cuddles.

- Character A loves Character B. Character B dies. Character A (barely?) copes.

- Character A loves Character B . Character C, who is very dear (romantically or not) to Character A, dies. Character B helps his partner cope.

I hope this isn't too specific. I'm craving good old angst, romance, and beautiful, complex characters. Death!fic (obviously) ok, self-recs are more than welcome.

Thank you!
