Summary
Dean Winchester died in 2002, three months after Sam left for college.
Sam moved on with his life, assuming that his father stuck to his guns and cut Sam out for good, eventually accepting that Dean did that same despite promising to stay in touch. In 2019, Sam is 35, a partner in a successful law firm, and happily married to his college sweetheart, Jess, but his world turns on its axis when his father calls him with an address, an order, and a goodbye.
For the final time in his life, Sam goes against his instincts and follows one last order, making the long drive to Washington to finally confront his family. He finds his twenty-two year old brother sitting in a motel room with grave dirt under his fingernails and their father's dead body lying on the ground.

Summary
Dean knows he is too old for it, but he still sleeps with his dad sometimes. They both sleep better that way. Even though Sam gives him shit for being fourteen and sleeping in the same bed as their dad, it doesn't matter. He doesn't understand. He doesn't remember.
There are two versions of his dad: in the cold light of day, he is the hunter, the drill sergeant barking commands, the one who hammers into them everything they need to survive while killing monsters; but in the hushed dark of night, he is comfort and warmth.

Summary
Edward closes his book and his left hand rests atop the cover.
He is not wearing his wedding ring.
Roy's heart twists.
Edward's eyes sweep down and back up his body, lazy and blatant, and Roy expects a jab about his stuffy suit, and he would say it's a damn good suit from one of the finest tailors in the city, but it doesn't come.
"Well shit, Mustang. You know you're supposed to let go a little in your old age, right?" Edward drawls.*
Future fic. Ed and Roy are friends and keep in touch, but both moved on with their lives after the Promised Day. Roy is unsatisfied with his life, now Field Marshal, a largely honorary position during peacetime. Ed retired from the military and is a researcher/lecturer, a father, and recently divorced.

Summary
Its a damn risky thing to do, with Bobby asleep upstairs. But Dean never disobeys his father, and he’s horny as all hell. It’s not a prime combination for sensible decision making.

John finds that fucking irresistible.
Sam hates his father. But he understands him perfectly.

Bookmarker's Notes
The toxicity of their dynamics is brilliant and heartbreaking.
