Summary
There's not much in the canon about what life was like for toddler Dean and Mary before Sammy was born and what happened to John, Dean, and baby Sammy right after the fire.
Another glimpse of the people who nurtured the humanity of the brothers and gave them the strength to defy Heaven, Hell, God, and the Devil.
And some unanswered questions about the fire that took Mary's life. Yes, a mystical fire, but even so, why didn't the house burn down to the ground?
And we now know that Mary and the Campbells were Hunters. How did that impact her time as a wife and mother?
If you are interested, here is a Mary-centric piece about the Winchesters, set the year before the fire and a few weeks after.

Summary
All those years on the road, did Dean and Sam really survive on their own when John abandoned them time and again? Generations of children have been left to parent themselves and each other, but in many cases, they were not alone. I like to think that angels did watch over them.
And even when they were adults, did they rely only on themselves and the hunter community?
This is a thank-you to those anonymous, compassionate people who helped a hungry little girl long ago.
Ode to people taking care of children and stepping up

Summary
Contrary to popular opinion, Sam did not hate everything about the Hunter’s Life.
By the time he was 17, he had seen places and things that most humans his age could not imagine. Yes, he saw nightmares that he couldn’t wake up from, but he also met good people and learned about love.
Sam collected souvenirs from some of those encounters, which he carried with him in an old-fashioned cigar box, hidden in the bottom of his duffel bag.
Set in Sammy's early teen years, ending in a better version of Heaven

Summary
A short history of the Winchesters looking out for each other and their extended family.
First up, no one messes with Sammy.
Although much of this work is dog-centric, it does not feature Miracle aka Lexi, a dog actress who I understand has had a stellar career in Hallmark movies.

Summary
Lev was an old Siberian hunter, older than Bobby and as tall as Sam, with a beer belly, a silver brush cut, blue rheumy eyes, and a stereotypical capacity for American vodka, American beef, and American women (and men) of flexible morality.
Bobby Singer and the Winchester brothers collide with him at a gun and knife show in San Antonio, and he meets up with Sam and Dean years later in Chicago.
What do Lev and the rest of the world’s hunters know that the American Winchester boys have missed, mostly because of John’s obsession with the Yellow-Eyed Demon and the Hunt?
Teen to be on the safe side, for mentions of drinking, guns, and for sex and violence offstage.
Ode to Chicago and tough Midwesterners, with side trips to sample Hill Country BBQ in Texas and Eastern European goodies in Winnipeg.

Summary
Sam and Dean did more than hunt monsters and save lives. They changed lives for the better, sometimes by reaching out to strangers with a single act of friendship. And sometimes the strangers changed them.
Luckily, this time they got to see the happy ending. Dreams can come true.
This work is finished. Will be updated in a few days.
