Family Comes First by ethrosdemon (PG13)

Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: none
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] ethrosdemon
Author Website: Biblioteque Diaboloque
Why this must be read:

I think one of the most interesting and potentially bad ways writers can engage with Supernatural is to give them normalcy. I mean, the liklihood of them demon fighting forever is a possibility, but what happens when they start to want the lives they left behind as children, and for Sam, as an adult? Still, it takes some convincing for me to really believe the life that's being created for the brothers, and luckily ethrosdemon is around to do a bang up job.

When Jack is two and a half, Dean moves the family a little outside of Tulsa. That's how they do things now—Dean makes all the big decisions and Sam grouses but never really puts up any resistance. Dean is the head of the family in a way that probably should have happened when Dad died, but only actually did when Jack came along.

Dean gets an honest to god job, granted as a mechanic with some local stock car racer, so it's hardly work for him.

Oklahoma's in the middle of the country, so Sam can come and go in all directions. But Sam knows Dean picked it because Sam went to high school in Norman, and they both have some almost normal memories about the region.

You realize that this is listed in the memories for SGA, yes?
