Letting The Days Go By by roxymissrose [wincest, 46k]

Ever since Dean pushed Sam away and into a normal life, Dean's been spiraling downwards. He's screwing up on the job. He's never gotten over his dad's death. He's not sure he loves his girlfriend anymore. Sam hates his guts and with good reason, what kind of jerk sleeps with their little brother's prom date? He's backslid and fallen off the wagon, he's worrying his mom to death. The problem is he doesn't really remember living this miserable life….

a separate moral universe by StripySock [wincest, 4k]

What Is And What Should Never Be AU. Dean is Sam’s no good big brother who flunked out of school, steals their mom’s silver to pay off his gambling debts, and is drunk more often than not. And he fucks Sam like no one else ever does. Motels inhabit a separate moral universe is what that world's Stoppard might've said, but didn't.

Dean didn’t know what finally made him go for it. The djinn’s dream was a catalyst, but the call was coming from inside the house, and he’d been letting it ring for a very, very long time. (They get one night together right before Sam is taken to Cold Oak. Dean has to deal with that.)

Sleepwalking Back Again by Elohvee [downloadable here] [wincest, 21k]

Set in the AU established by "What Is and What Should Never Be", picking up where 2x20 left off. By their mother's urging, Sam and Dean unwillingly spend a summer repairing an old farmhouse left to their family by a distant friend of their father's. Under the pressure of close quarters, Sam and Jessica's quickly-approaching wedding, and Dean's recovery from his apparent suicide attempt in an Illinois warehouse, they are forced to confront the many cracks in their relationship. Guest-starring: dusty LPs, empty beer bottles, and poker games to wait out the rain.

"What Is and What Should Never Be"-verse. Sam has a full two inches on Dean now, and he wonders if it bothers Dean the way it bothers him. He leans down, resting his forehead on Dean’s shoulder, breathing in as he does. Dean smells like booze and smoke, like sweat and soap, like nothing Sam has ever wanted more.

Nothing more happened between them after that, not for a long time, not till six months ago on Mom’s birthday when Dean had his—crisis, he calls it. Psychotic break, the family says behind his back. Written for the 2022 Bro Bone Bang for the prompt "at the chapel of sam and jess’ wedding where dean ends up fucking his brother"

Dean is tempted by the djinn. He turns it down. When he wakes, the temptation doesn't end.
