Summary: In which Sam is Sam, not Sammy, and Dean finds out there is more to life than hunting. Also? Dean joins the Air Force (maybe, sort of) and Sam is wicked smart (oh, yeah: Dad's gone).
Disclaimer: I do not own.
Contains: AU. Transsexual character (Female-to-Male). Profanity. Underage drinking. Underage driving. Underage weapons usage. Slight use of homophobic/anti-trans language and situations. Possible abuse of medical terms, military terms and American school terms.
Author's Notes: Believe it or not, but this whole thing started with the one stray thought: huh, Dean'd look totally badass with a P-90 and a tac-vest. Then I put that thought on hold, because this whole idea with why Sam wanted people to call him Sam not Sammy sort of crowded out every single other piece of inspiration I had. And whaddya know? Turns out, it was the same fucking plot bunny (not that Dean is actually in a tac-vest at any point during this story, but that's what filling-in-the-blanks on your own is for).
This fic is a journey about self-discovery, about Sam and Dean, about brothers and about making your way in life.
