Life Before Death by
kroki_refur. Sam thinks that Dean's not quite himself but despite himself he likes this Dean who ... touches ... a lot. And no, it's not Wincest!
It's so adorable and sweet and at the same time oh-so-angsty too and why oh why Kripke doesn't have writers like Refur to write about Dean's post-breakdown in 4.10?
It’s been thirteen hours since Dean sat on the hood of the Impala and told Sam just how bad hell was, but Sam still doesn’t know how to break the silence. Sure, they’ve talked since then -- we should stop for gas and turn off here and you better not have used all the towels, bitch -- but they haven’t talked, not the way Sam knows that people are supposed to talk about these things. The problem is, for all he learned at college, for all Jess taught him about emotional availability and sharing the load, he’s never been able to do it right with Dean, no matter what he tries. Maybe it’s because I sold my soul for you and I spent decades being tortured until I cracked aren’t on the same level as I resent your flirting and I have commitment issues, but on the other hand, maybe it’s because everything is always different with Dean, easier and harder and just more.

“We’re not talking about it,” says Sam.
And so they don’t.
Caught the very last part and LOVE it very much!
Thanks for the rec, Layne. I'll read it tonight. \o/
