Cracked by Whereupon
Gen Coda to Asylum
Supernatural is a fun, guilty pleasure to watch but the show's biggest crime is that it often forces the brothers into situations that it has no intention of ever following up on. In Asylum Sam shot Dean in the chest with rock salt, before pointing what he thought was a loaded gun at his brother's chest and firing not once but four times! Next episode it was like the incident had never happened and you can guarantee that by the end of the 1st season it won't be mentioned again. So thank god for fic - Cracked is a harsh, unflinching look at Dean's state of mind after the shooting incident and his unwillingness to just instantly forgive his brother. Lines like this killed me:
So Sam bleeds and breathes and hits him, and Dean's no longer alone. Together, they're still broken, but they're stronger than he could have imagined.

Agonisingly sad look at a deteriorating Sam following Jess's murder. Beautiful and truly painful.

Sam/Dean Slash
Poetic look at the boys over the course of a single day. Dream like and rather beautiful.

Short, angsty look at the brothers following Dean's healing in Faith.
