Dean finds Sam on a Hunt and takes him in

Hi guys, maybe I'm imagining it or merging several stories I've read over the years but I could have sworn I'd read something like this at some point: Dean doesn't have a brother, he's a solo hunter and is working a case where he finds Sam chained up or locked away by said monster (maybe it was the YED or a vampire feeding from him) and rescues him and takes him in. Or any story along those lines? I may be losing the plot though because the more I think about it the less I'm convinced this exists.

This probably isn't the one you're looking for ('cuz I remember there being more than one of this type), but there's "Instinct" http://archiveofourown.org/works/1014391 in which Dean finds Sam (who is a shapeshifter in dog form) tied up, rescues him, and takes Sam with him.
