Hi! I was talking to a friend on Tumblr about the Season 3 storyline that never was and they were wondering about fics where Sam saves Dean from going to Hell. (I'd also take fic where Sam rescues Dean from Hell.) I know I've read loads of really great ones but I'm terrible at keeping a record of my reading and so I'm hoping you guys can help.

Hell yes. I have a tag solely dedicated to fics with this trope. But my reccommendations:

Sam breaks the deal and saves Dean:

Until the End of the World by geminigrl11
He finally gets a look at his brother and Sam is...Sam is laughing. Pained, raw, gulping laughter that's verging on hysteria. Dean can't get his head around it. "What did you do?"

Small Clause Out by authoressnebula
There's a way out of the deal, one that'll have Dean back at Sam's side. Problem is, it isn't going to really be the same; not with Sam now the oldest between them.

So, the thing is, there really is no way to break a deal with a demon without consequences that even Sam isn't willing to consider. Sam has had to accept that and move on, looking at new areas of research, about souls and hell and the way demons get one into the other. It isn't until the fourteenth time that he reads 'demons can't touch a soul while it still has a body protecting it' that he really understands what it means.

I Am the Very Model by vorpalblades
Jake killed Sam, but Sam came back. Sam killed Jake, and Jake stayed dead. That means Sam won, and to the victor goes the spoils, right? Yeah, that’s what the rest of Hell thought too.

Dean's got three weeks to live, and Sam's acting like a freakin asshole. And hey, it's not like that's never happened before, but this is a little too much like history repeating for Dean's liking.

Sam pulls Dean out of Hell:

and death is no parenthesis by minviendha
Prompt: Between S3 and S4. Sam decides he's going to get Dean out come hell or high water, so he opens the Devil's Gate (Colt, C4, whatever) and marches right in. Describe the trials and tribulations he endures on the way to find Dean and on the way out with Dean.

I'd Gladly Lose Me To Find You by flawedamythyst
Sam takes a vow of silence in order to pull Dean out of Hell, but by the time Dean comes back, Sam's lost more of himself than just his voice.

Highway to the Grave by chase-acow
The unfortunate fact that Sam found to be true, was that you could never find a hellhound when you needed one.

Now excuse me while I go read all the other recs I haven't come across yet. :)
