An AU rec I do have (surprisingly - I don't usually like AU either): though it's not completely AU - Dean is still a hunter and Sam is still a "freak" - it's pretty AU otherwise. The guys are not related in this one.

Sam grows up in a sort of concentration camp for monsters. Dean grows up as an only child and a hunter with John. Dean forms a strange friendship with a "monster" he sees one day in the freac camp while his father is on hunter business and eventually vows to get him out of the camp. That would seem to be the happy ending, but even living a regular life isn't as easy as it would appear.

This story is long and not for the faint of heart - it's rough going sometimes, and there's serious Sam abuse here. But the high points and nice moments are worth the "pain" for me... part of the authors' descriptions in the warning (which I suggest reading to see what you'll get into) say it nicely: "Other triggery content includes: extensive torture, mutilation, demeaning verbal abuse (especially of a sexual nature), brainwashing, PTSD, and triggering itself. This is a mean world. You know what else is scary? Our story is happier than canon." Heh after season 8, I couldn't agree more.

If you decide to proceed, I'd read slowly, because it's still a work in progress and new chapters only come out every couple of months or so now. I'm hooked though, so I have to wait it out till the end now.
