Fics where Sam prioritizes Dean or appreciates Dean

I am looking for 2 general types of fics

1. Fics where Sam really needs or wants Dean. For example, Sam is in trouble and he knows Dean can make it all better because he's Dean. Either Dean actually is there and Sam is glad he is or Sam wishes his brother were there.

2. Fics that show Sam prioritizing Dean as most important over other people (like John). For example, I read this one where Dean and John split up in the woods to go look for a monster while Sam stayed behind. Dean gets caught in some kind of barbed wire trap. Sam heard something (or something like that) and thought one of them was in trouble, but he didn't know which one and he decides to go after Dean instead of John. If anyone knows that fic or any fics like that one, that would be great.

Basically, I'm looking for fics where Sam is shown to really appreciate/love his brother. Thank you!

There's Linden's Four Winters - part I (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1007585/chapters/1998257).
Sam is underage, and this is pre-series, pre-slash, but you can certainly see it coming. (no pun intended)

There's I'd Gladly Lose Me to Find You (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2215497), about what Sam had to do to pull Dean out of Hell.

You might like I See the Moon (http://archiveofourown.org/works/799092/chapters/1505236), where Sam gets the normal life he wanted, only to realize that Dean is really what he wanted - just as Dean begins to forget him.

The Brother's Blood (http://archiveofourown.org/series/31493) series starts out with Sam rescuing Dean from a vampire. Intense.

Leonidaslion's Bright Lights of Disturbia (http://archiveofourown.org/series/7424) series. Very intense.

runedgirl's wonderful The Year of Letting Go (http://runedgirl.livejournal.com/32053.html)

You might also check out tifaching's work over on AO3. She uses the "Protective Sam" tag many times.

A series of stories showing times when Sam needed Dean near him to be able to sleep.

The Tao of Sam and Dean (https://archiveofourown.org/series/8536) by Zanne
For Sam, there had always been a Dean. Even before he knew what a Dean was, there was always that warm weight in his crib and the slightly stale breath brushing over his cheeks.

Also maybe the senses might alter the way that you feel (http://aseagulliniowa.livejournal.com/64032.html) by aseagulliniowa
Neither of them have ever been any good at keeping secrets from each other for long. [Sam chooses Dean over Stanford.]

In which Sam has a bottle full of soul. --[A Sam saves Dean from Hell story.]

I feel like a whole ton of Sam-saves-Dean-from-Hell stories would fit your request, actually, if you checked them out. Also Mystery Spot fics. :)
