Summary: On Nov. 2, 1983, Mary Winchester died defending her infant son Sam during a riot. Her grief-stricken husband, Dr. John Winchester, took the family on the road, vowing that no one would ever die in an underserved area because of lack of medical care again. He raised his sons to be field doctors as well, but when Sam didn't toe the line he was disowned.
31 years later, Dean is Boston's top trauma surgeon. An FBI agent is fished out of Boston Harbor with a bullet in his shoulder. When the blood and harbor grunge are cleared away, Dean recognizes his patient: the prodigal son, Sam. This is the story of how two brothers cope with the relationship they had, and figure out what kind of relationship they want now.
AN: *warning: this fic discusses the long-term effects of an incestuous relationship that starts out with dubious consent.* This fic is NSFB.
Special thanks to my artist, Cassiopeia7, who was incredibly easy to work with, and to my beta, elwarre, who was and is fantastic as always.
