Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Word count: ~38,000
Warnings/Spoilers: Issues of rape, with a heavy emphasis on recovery and a decided lack of easy fixes. Dub-con. Graphic violence/gore. Attempted rape (Well, sort of – demons are evil and like to push people’s buttons). Established relationship. Major Hurt/Comfort and a teensy... tiny... bit of angst. ::cough::
Disclaimer: Do you suppose if I asked sweetly, the boys would give themselves to me? Yeah, I know, not after they read my stories. Darn! Labor of love. No profit.
Dedication: Dedicated to my sister, rivestra, because I love her. And beta’d by my sister rivestra, because I don’t love her that much. ;) Without her, this fic would never have seen the light of day.
Betas: My darling snarkgoddess, whom I love dearly because she poured countless hours into this story even though it is sooo not her preferred genre. The lovely rivestra, who continues to wait oh so patiently for the story that this was supposed to be. The awesome loolookitty, who I met during last year's big bang and am now lucky enough to call my friend.

Author’s Note: This story goes AU after the Season One episode, Dead Man’s Blood. Events are canon through this episode, but afterwards, multiple leads cause the boys to separate from John after all, and now nine months have passed. The events in Salvation and Devil’s Trap never happened.

This story is written to stand alone, but it is also the sequel to An Issue of Consent. Click here if you would like to read the entire verse.

Summary: Months after being stricken with an incubus-like curse, the boys are building an ever-strengthening partnership out of the wreckage of its intense sexual requirements. Now, the ongoing physical relationship the sex demon forced on them has become a comfort to them both, and Sam's even finding ways to use the power they generate to make them better hunters. Of course, Sam can't always control his powers, and he's still having flashbacks to the captivity and torture that started it all. Dean's going out of his mind trying to help, but his brother's not the easiest guy to read, and Sam is definitely not in a talking mood. How far are they willing to go to make things right again?

Warnings/Spoilers: First time Wincest, dub-con (of the fuck-or-die variety), memories of non-con and torture. Also includes a brief hunt that references child-abuse (non-graphic). Major Hurt/Comfort and a teensy... tiny... bit of angst ::cough::

Dedication: Dedicated to my sister, rivestra, because I love her. And beta’d by my sister rivestra, because I don’t love her that much. ;) Without her, this fic would never have seen the light of day. Also beta’d by amara_m, and nighean_isis, and flailed over with denyce, ailise, and kathyem1. Because I needed a lot of hand-holding, and, you know, not sharing is hard! I love you all.

Author’s Note: This takes place towards the end of season one, after Dead Man’s Blood. Events are canon through this episode, but then go AU. After Dead Man’s Blood, multiple leads cause the boys to separate from John after all, and now six months have passed. The events in Salvation and Devil’s Trap never happened.

Summary: Sam has always needed Dean, but when a devastating attack leaves Sam cursed, that need is perverted into something he and Dean never expected. Dean will do whatever it takes to keep his brother safe, but will either one of them be able to live with the consequences?
