Summary: The Winchesters are hunters and brothers . . . and that's all. Dean abruptly ended their deeper relationship some years ago, much to Sam's confusion and dismay. They've since made an uneasy peace with each other, continuing to hunt as a team. A chance encounter with someone from their past causes underlying tensions to come to a head. Sam and Dean have to deal with old choices, and make some new ones. Set after the end of Season 5, but Lucifer was thrown into the Cage while still in Nick's vessel, so there was no resultant arc with Sam in Hell, soulless!Sam or the Leviathan.
