The one where Dean is a pediatric neurosurgeon and Sam is a law student and they figure out they're in love.
Bobby is a ghost. Sam and Dean fuck everywhere.
Sam is just confused. It's not an excuse Dean gets to use on himself.
Five people who helped Sam in Stanford.
Rogue wildlife attacks? Check. Virulent, incurable pandemic? Double check. Relentless string of natural disasters? Check, check, check. Dean's got it hard enough dealing with the collapse of modern society, so imagine his dismay when he goes to Stanford Law to fetch the brother he's been painfully in love with for most of his life and finds that brother happily married. When Sam, Dean, and Jess set off across the country to find their dad, it's all they can do just to stay alive, much less stay true to each other.
The upsides of working a travelling double act with your brother bear a remarkably close resemblance to the downsides. Namely: you travel around the country with your brother (plus one white rabbit) in a big-ass black caravan, and you (sometimes) get paid for it.
Sometimes Sam hurts Dean, leaves fine bruises that always fade by mid-afternoon around his throat. Dean never tries to hide them (wouldn’t know how to, anyway, Sam suspects), but sometimes Sam joins him in the bathroom to brush his teeth in the morning and Dean is staring in the mirror, eyes clouded, fixated on his throat. It’s all Sam can do not to touch the bruises himself as they leave little ridges on his skin. Sam doesn’t know what it is about it – but he supposes it’s simply control. There’s nothing else to it. It gives him a thrill to see Dean teetering, on an edge, where he can tip over either end. But Sam’s not stupid, and he knows how to be careful.
Dean doesn’t care more than he has to, doesn’t let anyone get in and make him feel. For some reason he can’t even begin to guess at, Sam Campbell fucks that all to hell just by showing up.
"It is well that war is so terrible, or we should grow too fond of it." – Robert E. Lee. World War II AU
Under mysterious circumstances bitterly disputed by the historians, Sam Winchester said yes to Lucifer. Three years later, Lucifer is gone and the familiar landscape that the Winchesters once traversed is a burnt-out ruin of its former self - not to mention the damage done to Lucifer's vessel. Trapped in a grotesque parody of domestic bliss with a brother he no longer recognizes, a shell-shocked Dean has no reason to believe that happy endings exist for men like the Winchesters.
The Apocalypse is over. Sam writes it all down, and the result tops the New York Times bestseller list for an entire year. Dean loves that Sam's found something to do with his life, but doesn't know how he fits in. And when Dean reads Sam's second novel, things get even more confusing for him.
It's 2018 and the human race is almost extinct, wiped out by a mutant threat not even the angels saw coming. Sam and Dean live on a military compound, one of the few remaining human communities still fighting for survival. Dean is one of the military leaders, dedicated to wasting as many of the mutants he can, while Sam, permanently injured and confined to the base, is desperately searching for the answer that will save what's left of humanity, and finally bring both boys the peace they crave.

Sam ran away from everything life as a Winchester promised, trying to find his place in the world, but when Dean showed up at his door, needing a place to stay, he realized that without Dean, no place was home
Dean's never done anything anyone will remember him for, and for the first time, he kind of wishes he had.
Mary lives. Some things change, some things don't, and Dean's just postponing the inevitable.
Dean Winchester would hold these truths to be self-evident: that Lawrence is home, that he loves his brother more than anything (more than he should), and that ghosts do not exist. ... well, at least he was right about the first two.
