Summary: After his ex-girlfriend is killed in a car accident, Dean gains custody of her fourteen year old son. They know it’s going to be difficult, with the stress of grief and unfamiliar living conditions weighing on them, but neither of them is ready for just how difficult it really is, trying to feel out where they belong in the confusion and aftermath of such a great loss. They deal with it though. They’re family. What other choice do they have?
A family drama, featuring Dean as a new single father, Ben as a ninth grader with trouble coping, Sam as the voice of reason and the rock that holds Dean up and Cas as the sympathetic police officer who repeatedly busts Ben for petty crimes.
Thank you: To
alexadean,
cappy712 and
lethiaw77, who all gave this a once over and helpfully pointed out cases of extreme suckage :)
And to
thecouchcarrot, who must have read this whole thing three or four times and fixed all my booboos and my big, gaping plot holes did so without ever complaining. I’m pretty sure I could have just sent her a rough outline and it would have come back neat and pretty and perfect and ready to post. Because she is awesome.
A/N: I spent quite a while trying to decide whether I should label this fic as gen or Dean/Cas, as the romantic relationship between Dean and Castiel is not the primary focus of the story. That said, Cas is an important character and there
is a romantic aspect to his relationship with Dean, so I figured anybody reading this story and expecting strictly no pairings might be upset.
