#ive mostly kept these canonverse

[destieltaggedfic]

howdy! I know you’ve mentioned before that you also like asshole/unsupportive sam fics sometimes so I was wondering if you could rec some more? Its hard to search for these cause there isn’t really a tag to go through on ao3

Can I ever! 😃 I've been waiting ages for someone to take me up on that offer. In general there are 2 authors I love who write really good Sam being an entitled asshole both in canonverse or AU. They are thebatmandiaries and AshwinMeird

Four Rings and a One Man Apocalypse – FunnyWings   Ao3

Set S6AU.  After an angel asks for his help in healing Cas after an injury he had, Dean’s isolation in his retired life with Lisa doesn’t work anymore and while he wants to stay out of hunting he wants Cas back in his life, even if Cas is busy fighting a war Dean only just found out about.

The Drive - InnocentVash, PaleRedWings   Ao3

Nonspecific timeframe.  Dean got seriously hurt on a hunt and Sam has no time for anything other than keeping Dean alive on the journey back to Bobby’s, especially since he blames Dean’s injury on the recently human Cas.

champagne for my real friends, real pain for my sham friends – thebatmandiaries   Ao3

Canonverse AU.  The demon didn’t kill Mary, but Dean’s family was never the same again because John started hunting secretly and forced Dean to do so as well, while Sam grew up to be the pampered darling.  As he gets closer to the end of high school Dean is caring less and less about his so-called family and their treatment of him.

Reputation and Redirection - AshwinMeird   Ao3

AU.  Sam’s always known he was the best son and his career is on the up but when he does some illegal stuff on a deal he loses both his job and his wife in quick succession.  With his parents on vacation he feels its Dean’s responsibility to help support him despite them not really having a relationship since they were teenagers.  Dean’s not so keen on that idea though.

Small Everyday Deeds – Featherthief   Ao3

Set S13 AU.  3 years ago baby Jack was born and in the action of the day, Cas was left human and Dean had a shattered leg that never recovered.  Now they are living in a small town where everyone believes they are married and Sam has finally come to visit.  But there seems to be something different about them and he’s determined to find out what it is.  But it wasn’t easy for Dean to get where he is today. (This is included here because I absolutely HATE the way Sam treats Dean in this fic especially when he starts dictating what Dean must do in the aftermath of the injury)
