For your general request: Take a look at my Stanford Era rec list. There are a couple of fics which will definitely make you feel sad for Dean, such as Dessertion, Elsebound, In Restless Dreams I Walked Alone, Lawrence and Surface. Also, if you don't mind self-recs, you might like to check out one of my own Dean-centric fics which is also set after Sam left for Stanford: Still Here I Carry My Old Delicious Burdens.
Hm. Here I was thinking I was the hurt!Dean QUEEN, only to realize almost all of my listed recs are HIGH-OCTANE ANGST. (What? No! I'm totally not addicted to Post-Hell Issues Dean! I can stop any time I want!) I did find some as per your request, though. Hope I got this right.
What Candles May Be Held Preseries It's the twentieth anniversary of Mary's death. Dean spends the day cleaning out a den of ghouls. John spends it drinking. Sam spends it in jail.
Same Time Next Year Some things never change. When Dad goes missing, Dean comes for Sam.
Notes: After the first readthrough, I was confused. After the second, I cried. Definitely a sad-FOR-Dean fic.
LegacyTime travel really is a bitch. When Dean accidentally stumbles through a time portal inside the Bat Cave, he discovers some new information about the Men of Letters legacy

"Here I was thinking I was the hurt!Dean QUEEN, only to realize almost all of my listed recs are HIGH-OCTANE ANGST. " yes! That is exactly my problem as well! All my hurt!Dean bookmarks are angst OVERLOAD, but I was re-reading the Sparta'Verse earlier this week and it just gave me this huge need for low-key god-his-life-is-so-sad-and-he-doesn't-even-know-it-ness. So thank you, I'm sure some of these will be what I'm looking for.
Ugh, I'm such a sucker for anniversary of Mary's death fics, it's not even funny anymore....
