Specific!fic, post-season 5, a serial killer in Dean's neighborhood
Hey guys, I have a craving for a specific story. I think it was on AO3, but it may have been on LJ or ff.net. It's a crossover with some sort of cop procedural show (Criminal Minds, I think?). While Dean is living with Lisa in the wake of the graveyard no-pocalypse, someone starts abducting kids from Ben's school. The team from the crossover show arrives to find that the neighborhood is deferring to Dean about keeping their kids safe, including emergency evacuation procedures, pickup and dropoff arrangements, etc. I think Dean is working at a garage, or from home, and keeps an eye on the kids?
It's all from the team's POV, but the subtext implies that the neighborhood knows what really happened with the changelings, and they trust Dean to handle it if the kidnappings turn out to be supernatural in nature. The crossover team doesn't twig to the fact that Dean is on the FBI's Most Wanted, but they think it's weird that he's so trusted in the community and I think they take him on as an advisor after ruling him out as a suspect.
Eventually it turns out that it was a married couple of regular human pedophiles - this is the part I remember clearest, that it was the man who lured kids over because he repaired arcade games at his house, but the woman (I think a member of the PTO?) was the "dominant partner" and basically tried to throw him on the rocks when they were taken into custody. No pairings, I don't remember if Lisa was in the picture in this one or if she was just offscreen a lot. The focus was on Dean being an awesome dad and also competent in a crisis.
