Raising a Big Brother - The 'Verse
My 'verse is made up of ficlets, short and finished. Some can be read without having read the others; others you need to read a previous one to understand. The timeline will be recorded here with the ages of the boys as the ficlets go.
The point of this 'verse is to fill in the gaps as to how Dean Winchester became the big brother we know and adore for his over-protectiveness with a certain little brother of his. *coughcoughOhSammycoughcough* Looking back at the multiple flashbacks we've seen of the boys when they were younger, Dean was the typical big brother: making fun of Sam, picking on him, annoyed by his being younger...like I said, the usual things.
So how did he become a VERY over-protective big brother? What turned Dean into...Dean?
These stories were/are written for that purpose.
Ratings will vary from PG to R; please read the description at the top. No death-fic, no slash or 'cest here, I promise. All fics are GEN and COMPLETED.
PLEASE assume spoilers up through current US airings of episodes (at this point, up through season 6x22.)
Stories go in descending order, from top to bottom.
