Specific Gen Fics Search...FOUND FOUND FOUND!
Thanks all for responding so quickly. I wish all my problems could be solved by posting, going to bed, waking up and checking. Some of these have been bugging me for mumble-mumble-mumble-mumble. As always, in awe of the fantastic quality and helpful spirit of this fandom!
SEVEN FOR SEVEN -- you guys are awesome.
...plus one non-explicit Destiel.
I suppose like others, when I came to this massive, fantastic fandom I GORGED. For months I just ping-ponged around, dropping no breadcrumbs. Eventually I started trying to do a better job of bookmarking/saving favorites, but there are some that I just haven't been able to find on my own. I've asked before, and have always been amazed at the collected knowledge of you all! Hoping that these last few I can't find are known to someone. They're great -- I highly recommend them all...if only someone can help locate them....
1. Found in comments. Sam and Dean aren't hunters, John's alive but not part of their lives. Dean was in the military and permanently injured. What I mostly remember is a scene in a diner, where Sam and John meet, and Dean shows up on a motorcycle. Not http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5758962/1/Infrangible_Road (though that one is fabulous).
2. Found in comments. Dean's picking up his and Sam's dinner, but when he gets to the restaurant there are a pair of robbers who have taken everyone hostage. Eventually Sam calls and figures out what's going on and comes to the rescue. I can't believe I can't find this one....
3. Found in comments. Not sure if this is pre-show, but in any case Dean is unable to hunt due to some injury and he ends up dropped off at Bobby's. There's a scene where he's drunk and feeling sorry for himself, comparing himself to one of Bobby's dogs. I know he says something like -- "me and Rummy, both of us put out to pasture".
4. Found in comments. This one is very long and wonderfully written. I remember almost nothing about the plot, just a scene near the end where Sam takes Dean, who's been possessed or inhabited by some malevonent entity, out to a cave in the desert (?) and somehow Dean is absorbed into a block of ice (?), and then a little while later Sam finds him floating face-down in an underground lake (?). I just don't remember enough to find it, except that haunting scene. Help?
5. Found in comments. Dean's possessed or otherwise made into some kind of huntable monster. I think maybe he's resurrected by...Sam? Anyway, he's at a cabin in the woods with Bobby. It becomes clear that Bobby's brought him out there to kill him, but in the end he can't do it, and he sends Dean off with Sam with an instruction not to allow himself to be found.
6. Found in comments. The Destiel. Castiel is gone and has been for some time, Sam and Dean are living in an old house somewhere. I think maybe it's post-apocalypse? Anyway, they're fixing up the house, and Sam at some point realizes that the room Dean's fixing up is for him and Castiel -- he realizes that Dean is "nesting". It was a lovely story.
(It wouldn't shock me if I'm remembering some details wrongly -- sometimes when I find something I've been looking for a while I'm amazed at how much I misremembered.)
Final plea: a J2 version of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" -- a purged journal, sadly: http://sidnihoudini.livejournal.com/112771.html. I adored it. Is it anywhere accessible?
Thanks all!!
