Summary
Dean shuts himself down in Purgatory, letting Benny fuck him out of some kind of survival, and expects that Sam will be ready to open him back up, coming to his rescue, as they usually do for each other.
When Dean makes his own way back topside only to find that Sam's been playing house with some random woman, seemingly paying their past together no mind at all, he shuts himself down even further.
Looks like Sam will have to once again get his shit together in order to fix things between them.

Summary
Original female character Anna and her relationship with Dean (supernatural), and Daryl (walking Dead) as the two worlds intersect. Time jumps between flashbacks, and present (starting with Anna and Daryl running into Dean in the woods). Anna never thought she would see Dean again. And there he is, post purgatory, plopped into a zombie apocalypse. He finds Daryl and Anna hunting in the woods. A crossover between Supernatural and The Walking Dead. A WIP. Not spicy yet but will get there.

Summary
Dean's latest ill-advised bar hookup turns him into a werewolf. Contrite and resigned, he goes to Sam and begs him to kill him. No way is he becoming the very thing he hunts. But Sam refuses.

The problem is that his new wolf instincts are driving him towards an even more profound bond than he already has with his brother.

Summary
Jisung opened his eyes then. Red and dark and without emotion. “How long has it been here?”
“Sixteen years,” Chan replied hoarsely. “It’s been sixteen years and six months.” Six days to the day. Swing. Thud.
Jisung nodded. “That makes sense. You look older.”
Chan laughed a little at that. He felt old.
or: Jisung dies sixteen years and six months ago. He returns.

Summary
Dean had been different since purgatory.
He’d always been aggressive, overprotective (although he would always deny it), but now he barely kept it together in crowded public places, pushing closer against Sam, nearly a step behind in order to cover his younger brother’s six.
AKA I LOVE POST/PURGATORY DEAN!!

People are disappearing, statues are moving. Dean and Castiel -- fresh out of Purgatory -- walk into the heart of the mystery, thinking it's their usual run-of-the-mill case.
Until they meet a man with a funny bow tie and two hearts, who looks up from his screwdriver, and says, "Hello, I'm the Doctor, I'm a Time Lord. This is Amy, she's Scottish. Any questions? No? Good. Now, where is Rory?"
