Well, this is embarrassing. I accidentally wrote/am writing some cracky fluffy nonsense. My brain just threw its hands up and decided it couldn't churn out any more depressing stuff (for the time being).

Summary: Human AU. Sam is a lawyer engaged to his girlfriend Jessica. Dean is an Olympics/Paralympics shooter and a part-time auto mechanic, and his boyfriend Castiel is a librarian. Sam, Dean, and Castiel are on a road trip across the Midwest to the Winchester family home in Lawrence for a family reunion.
I feel like I have some explaining to do. Dean was originally sighted in this fic, and the story started off life as a regular old able-bodied human AU. Then I found that I wrote too many sentences that go "Dean saw..." "Castiel saw...". I have a tendency to rely on this one sense, or something. So I decided to snip it out. No more. Smells, sounds, and all that jazz. And touch. I really like touch, as will become obvious later on in the fic (hint: hands). So I thought things would work well if Dean was blind* in this verse.
(*Technically he has profound low vision. Probably somewhere around a 20/800~20/1000).
