Summary
After the "mysterious death" of Jessica Moore and the disappearance of their father, Sam and Dean recruit the help of one of Sam's Stanford classmates, one who just so happens to have ties with people in Quantico, Virginia.
With her help, the two worlds fuse.
It takes a genius to put away the monsters of the real world, a warrior for the ones from fiction, but it takes heroes to cleanse the world of both nightmares.

Summary
“No bringing me back, okay? You know… You know that always ends bad,” Dean had said.
Well, Dean had also said that they always ignored the whole ‘not bringing each other back’ thing because of their deep, abiding love for each other. It was a non-promise, and there was no way in Rowena’s Hell that Sam was going to live out the rest of his life sitting on top of a bunker full of resources and not do something to reverse what had happened to Dean.
Sam doesn’t need to dig very far before he lands on a reasonable idea: use Henry’s time travel spell and finish what Dad never could, and take out the masked vamps before they ever become an issue. That way, Dean wouldn’t have to die—least of all like that—in the first place. Simple.
Except that the spell lands 2020 Sam smack-dab in the middle of a motel parking lot, where a lonely Dean is reeling from 2003 Sam’s lack of communication.

He couldn’t bring himself to laugh at Dean’s attempt at humour. But he could go down the bucket list Dean had given him to finish it for him.

A curse leaves Dean in a dead-like state and Sam spiraling. For seven days, Sam falls apart — grief eating him alive — while Dean, trapped outside his body, can only watch helplessly.
But on the seventh night, something stirs.
Maybe death isn't done with Dean Winchester just yet.
Maybe neither is the curse.
Dean promised he’d always take care of Sam — and not even death could make him break it.
