Reccer’s comments: I think most of our fandom know this one, but if you don't go, run read it. There is no word to describe the author's incredible work here. Hurt!Dean, Overprotective-yet-oblivious!Sam, a bunch of Sam's old college friends who don't like Dean at all, and a vulnerable!Dean who is still the BAMF that we know and love. A Must Read if I ever know one.

Spoilers: Season two, Episode "Faith"
Warnings: Disturbing scenes.
Summary: After the electrocution, Dean suffers some very painful permanent damage. Crappy circumstances leave the boys broke and desperate; Sam does what he’s gotta do to take care of his brother.
Reccer’s comments: Oh Dear God. This fic left me... breathless and seriously disturbed. It's a mix of horror, despair and love. Sam's desperation to save Dean and Dean's horrible, horrible symptoms... God, apart from "In Reverse" by Sodakey, I cannot imagine a better aftermath of the episode "Faith". One of the best Hurt!Dean I have ever read. it's also worth-shivering the way Sam loves Dean in this fic. The way he keep doing bad, bad things to save his brother. Superb work.
