Let's Play Two by Brynnmck (PG-13)

Why this must be read: The appeal of Supernatural is almost completely in the relationship between the two brothers. In this piece (her first in the fandom),brynnmck captures both the snark and the deep but often exasperated love between Sam and Dean deftly and with great style.
There's a entire fanon about Dean's love of baseball and I really think this is the best of them, combining the author's genuine and discernable love of the game with Dean's in a way that feels genuine and deep. Better still, she runs the POV through Sam, giving us a window into Dean's joy that we otherwise wouldn't be able to see.
As far as Sam knows, baseball is the only thing Dean's ever shown an enduring interest in that doesn't involve sex, cars, music, or hunting. Well, Dean's mentioned a few theories about a possible demonic connection involving George Steinbrenner, but other than that, it's completely outside his usual realm. Even now, it's about the only thing that can convince him to give the mullet rock a rest, the local broadcast turned on low as the countryside rolls past them, Dean rooting for whoever hasn't pissed him off recently.
Sam can remember when it started. One rainy summer day Dean had found a book about baseball history in Pastor Jim's library and started leafing restlessly through it, and within about an hour, his bitching about the weather had faded into silent absorption. And from then on, it was box scores and statistics and random factoids from spring training through October, until John and Sam were both ready to tape his mouth shut. Even more so than usual.
Sam had asked him once what the big deal was about baseball, since Dean was determinedly not interested in anything else that his little brother deemed normal. "A hundred years of history, six months out of the year, game almost every night," Dean had answered. "That's my kinda long-term relationship, man."
Go. Read. And please remember to leave the author feedback.
