Dean was a human explosive, that much he remembers, and then he simply wasn’t after Chuck removed all those souls from his chest in the prettiest of manicured gardens, when he and Amara decided to not kill each other. However, Dean was not fine, was not keeping it together but he felt like the bomb had gone off, his very being breaking at the seams with all the stress, weight of the world and every other piece of responsibility that he had been shouldering all his life. This is the story where Dean breaks down but reaching rock-bottom is the beginning of a wonderful journey that takes the Winchester brothers to finding a life of their own and ultimately to finding what Amara promised Dean canonically; the thing he needed most in life which is decidedly not Mama Winchester.

John leaves Sam and Dean at a motel to go on a hunt. After spending a week alone, the owner calls CPS and the boys are taken into custody. The last thing Dean tells 8-year-old Sam is to ‘be good’, and once separated Sam does his best to do just that. But once Sam realizes that he won’t be going back to either John or Dean ever again, his stubborn streak kicks in and he will only answer to the name Dean. Sam gets adopted by the Foresters, who move to Chicago and then Stars Hollow. Where he meets Rory Gilmore.
Dean is left to rot in the system, after being deemed too violent, and eventually ages out. He tries to find Sam but fails as Sam Winchester no longer exists. Dean seeks out Bobby, and ends up moving in with the hunter, working as a mechanic in between searching for Sam.
A lucky break results in Dean finding a small-town newspaper that features the MVP of the Stars Hollow High School hockey team, who bears a striking resemblance to Sam. Dean heads out to Connecticut and finds Sam, safe and sound, but thoroughly humiliated by his crush. Before they leave, they seek the revenge that soothes Sam’s soul. And leaves Dean wondering what the hell happened to the innocent little boy he used to know.
