Looking for Specific Injured/Disabled Sam Story
Okay, so I've been diligently looking for this story for almost a week now and I cannot believe my google-fu and tag browsing has finally failed me! Hopefully the wonderful, helpful folks in this community will be able to save me from pulling my hair out in frustration!
I cannot remember for the life of me if this was wincest or if they're just really, really close gen. Almost positive I read this on LJ somewhere and it's quite a long fic. Very, very high level - Sam is injured in a fall from a building during what should have been a routine hunt with Dean. He falls several stories and fractures his skull when he lands. This results in some permanent damage to his mobility and, I think, his speech. The story is about the progress of his recovery with Dean's support. A couple of specific details that I do remember are a bit spoilery, so...
[Spoiler (click to open)]Dean is cold to Sam for the first year of recovery (in Sam's perspective) and Sam thinks Dean hates him now. We find out that it's because Dean feels horribly guilty about the accident. He let Sam lead in on the hunt because he thought it would be an easy one and he had been afraid that Sam was about to leave him. He wanted Sam to feel like he was taking the lead more often and was a necessary part of the team, so he deliberately hung back and a second monster/baddie of the week took Sam by surprise and knocked him off the building instead.
Does anyone know the fic I'm looking for? It was absolutely awesome and I can't believe I was such an idiot and didn't bookmark it!
