I've prompted this before, but I would really, really adore a fanwork based off of this short piece by Jason Novak: For A.M..

Note: This ended up being kind of a weird fill because I ended up in an entirely different place than where I started...but hopefully the influence of the prompt can still be seen.

It was just an ordinary house. One story, wide instead of tall, with an open layout. There was no wall between the kitchen and the living room; the only divider was a bar-like counter top that allowed for the positioning of two barstools which, at the time, were still settled neatly in place, discolored but capable of holding a person's weight despite their condition. Dean knows, because he sat in them on more than one occasion, leaving an impermanent lack in the way he disturbed the dust, the stools only partially covered with a sheet of grime when he was done with them

His time at Sonny's had changed him. He had made a decision to grow up, to make a sacrifice, to say goodbye to any chance at a normal life. It was something he couldn't communicate to Sam and it was something his father would never fully understand, because to him, there had only been one answer.
He always chose family over everything else when there was no real choice to make. At Sonny's, the decision had finally been set against an alternative, had been placed in his hands as his. Dean had been caught in the middle, and when he emerged from the decision not triumphant but changed, he had found it difficult to slide back into what little of his childhood had existed - those fragmented hopes for anything normal were once and for all dismissed as impossible

You know, I actually clicked on the fill before I knew what prompt it was for, and by the time I got to the second part I was thinking, oh man, this is so perfect, it's like it was written for me. And then I got all the way to the end and I thought, OH MAN THIS IS SO PERFECT IT'S LIKE IT WAS WRITTEN FOR ME. And then I clicked on the "parent" link so I could masterlist this properly and I looked at the prompt and realized
OH MY GOD IT ACTUALLY WAS WRITTEN FOR ME!!! So know that this is 100% absolutely perfect perfect, even without knowing what prompt it was for or anything like that.
And then I wanted to draw attention to this paragraph in particular:
"What are you looking for?" Sam asks, coming up behind him, rubbing the back of his neck and wearing that pinched, concerned expression that is becoming too familiar to Dean by now - the one that tells Dean that his lies are getting closer and closer to unraveling, that he's in over his head and he can't keep Sam placated long enough for the angel to finish his job and get the hell

Oh man, I can't tell you how happy I am that you enjoyed it so much!! I almost didn't post it at first because it isn't exactly hurt in the traditional sense. So it totally makes my day that you liked it so much. Thank you for your feedback!!
