to the rescue! recs [gen, Sam/Dean, Smith/Wesson]
Or, fics where Dean gets into a spot of trouble and has to be bailed out by someone else. Most of these are older, but I’ve just discovered them, and I hope you love them as much as I did :) If you know of more, please leave them in the comments!

Genre/pairing: gen
Rating: R
Word-count: 3,167
Spoilers: none
Warnings: violence, aftermath of torture
Summary: Dean’s missing. Sam’s searching.
Reccer’s comments: I love embroiderama’s use of imagery here, as well as how she interspersed the nursery rhyme throughout the piece. Bittersweet and wonderfully done.
Title: That’s When Things Got Out Of Control
Author: wandersfound @ her_own_write
Tags: concussion/head trauma, drugged, fainting/collapse, sexual assault/abuse (non-con), unconsciousness
Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Dean Smith, Sam Wesson, OCs
Genre/pairing: Smith/Wesson
Rating: R
Word-count: 2,413
Spoilers: 4x17 [It’s A Terrible Life]
Warnings: violence, attempted non-con
Summary: Someone slips a roofie into Dean Smith's drink at the office Christmas party and tries to force sex in a supply closet. Either Dean fends them off or he's rescued by Sam Wesson, who takes care of him afterward. Bonus points if the attack spurs some repressed memories for a different time that a similar thing had happened to Dean Winchester.
Reccer’s comments: I love how wandersfound used both the Winchesters we know and Smith and Wesson - they were all kept in character, no easy feat when switching between them! And the aftermath was so very sweet, as well as handled respectfully and with care.
