Sam's not stupid: he knows it's normal for grief to make people believe crazy things. But he's a Winchester, and so he also knows that normal is unlikely to apply in his case, however much he might wish it did.

Five times Dean hated flowers, and one time he didn't.

The first time Dean had the dream, he was four years old.

It was almost the only thing in their childhood that was normal: the shared giggles under the sheets at night; the whispered revelations. Just like all boys learning about sex for the first time. In a world filled with ghosts, monsters and demons, this much childhood innocence was left to them.

Set after Devil's Trap: While Sam and Dean recover from the demon's attack, John struggles with something much more difficult.

John's one night stand has dark consequences. (Set during SPN season one, sometime between Home and Shadow.)

In a small town in the Cascade Mountains, people are dying, bodies found mauled by some kind of beast. The Winchesters think it's a werewolf and plan to hunt it. Ex-cop Jim Ellison and his partner Blair are also hunting the creature. The four are uneasy allies, but Jim's suspicions of the brothers lead him to uncover their family secret.
