Well, at least not at this time of their life anyway.
The 1300 Days by
stele3
Family is everything to Dean. Which is why it tears him apart when Sam leaves for Stanford. This story begins just before that fateful day and continues with the 1300 days Dean and Sam are not together, ending with Sam back in his life after Jess's death. The first two parts are simply to die for, with Dean doing his darnest to keep his family together. And the part when Sam says goodbye to Dean is one of the best I've read. Ever. If you think that the story is too long, then just read this part. It's totally worth it.
“We’re a triangle, Dad!” He’d snatched a butter knife from Sammy’s plate, fumbling with 12-year-old fingers to lay it across his own fork and knife. “See? You’re the base, and Sammy and I are the sides, leaning together. Mr. Kirchoffer said it was the strongest shape, that nothing could knock it down. But if you take one away, it’s just two lines together, and it won’t stay up.”
Sometime after Childhood, Montana, passing through Teenage, Illinois, en route to Adulthood, Oklahoma, something odd had happened to their little triangle. He was the base of the triangle, now: he balanced their angers and fears and nightmares against each other. And Mom, in the center of their triangle, not a part but always present.
Parts 3 to 6 are basically of Dean finding himself, of adjusting to life without Sam. I'm afraid I skimmed through these parts, not that they're not good because
stele3 is an amazing writer but because Sam is not there and Supernatural for me is Sam and Dean together. But don't skip them altogether because there are moments when Sam is there, in flashes of Dean's memories and flashbacks and the occasional stilted phone conversations between the two of them that'll choke you up.
Words lurked behind those words. Every tribe of nomads had their oral traditions … mentally he had dubbed theirs “The Winchester Echo.” They spoke aloud and silently in the same breath, in frequencies and codes known only to them. For instance, Where are you? inquired not only about Dean’s whereabouts, but his proximity to their father, and, by extension, John Winchester’s knowledge of the phone call.
The boys are back together in part 8. But do NOT miss part 7 because there's something there that'll shatter your heart into a million peices. Seriously.
Do read this. And if you're a total Dean's girl, the whole story, parts 3 to 6 included, would give you joy. But even without those parts ( which is just ME, I want them together at all times omg ), this is totally a very great read.
