Author: charredwood
Genre: Gen
Rating: PG-13
Word count: ~20, 700
Warnings: Self-Harm, Bloody Imagery, Language
Summary: The spring Sam turned twelve spawned a summer of vicious heat. Dean spent most of it bored out of his mind, while Sam whiled away the hours poring over books of birds. One stifling hot summer night, Dean finds a feather, gifting it to Sam. Years later, angry at Sam's flight to Stanford, Dean burns the feather Sam had returned to him.
A year since Sam fell into the Pit, Dean sleep walks through a parody of suburban life with Lisa and Ben. Nights he isn't crawling into a bottle, he spends grieving in the Impala. Castiel appears there one night with a barely alive Sam, refusing all questions. A year more passes as Dean struggles to care for a hell damaged Sam who eventually reaches relative lucidity.
A normal night suddenly turns bloody and violent in the patchwork household. In the swirling aftermath, Sam's youthful fixation on birds rears its head once more as Dean discovers the stunning choice Sam made to replace that simple feather and how it will save all their lives.
