Two amnesia!Dean fic recs

[juppschmitz.livejournal.com]

At this moment in time (past 9.17) I just want Dean to forget all about his crappy life and for him to be given a chance at starting over completely without baggage. So I went searching for fic and found these two gems:
(Well, the "no baggage"-thing didn't quite work out, though :D)

Title: A Foreign Country
Author: casspeach
Tags: amnesia
Characters: Dean, OFC
Genre/pairing: Dean/OFC
Rating: General Audiences
Word-count: 30 480
Spoilers: Season 2 (if that's still spoilery - there's always people just getting into SPN, right?)
Summary: Dean finds himself alone and badly injured on the side of a mountain in Colorado with no memory of who he is or what he's doing there. This is the story of the life he makes for himself when he has no knowledge of hunting or the dangers lurking in the dark (or, gasp, Sam!!). When something threatens his new family he's forced to fall back on lessons he can't remember being taught, and skills he can't remember acquiring to protect them.

Reccer’s comments: There is not an awful lot of hurt!Dean in this one, just enough at the beginning to get me in a good mood ;) The way the story develops, however, (story spoiler) with Dean never regaining his memories is so beautifully written, with well fleshed out original characters, and callbacks to Dean's past life cropping up throughout the story, that I immediately saved it to my "favourite fics" folder on my computer :)


Title: Living In The Past
Author: aussiemel1
Tags: amnesia
Characters: Dean, Sam
Genre/pairing: none
Rating: M
Word-count: 45 040
Spoilers: season 4
Warnings: none
Summary: Dean suffers partial amnesia after an accident and Sam has to decide what information his brother needs to know about the past, at the same time as they try to prevent another seal being broken. Set in Season 4

Reccer’s comments: This is for those (me! me!) who want to punish themselves and re-visit Season 4 in all its angsty glory. Written mostly from Sam's POV, which is a lovely change from what we usually get on show. The author hits season4!Sam spot on and Dean, even with amnesia, is so in character it's a joy (or not, lol) to read. This also went straight to my favourites folder :)

From Yesterday, Post 19 (A-D)/20, PG-13, Dean, Sam, OCs, GEN

[gaelicspirit.livejournal.com]

Title: From Yesterday, Chapter 18
Fandom: Supernatural
Author: gaelicspirit
Characters: Dean, Sam, and OCs
Disclaimer/Summary: See Part 1: Prologue

Author's Note: And here we are. The finale. The epilogue to follow will answer some questions and tie up loose ends, but this is the chapter where everything is truly decided. I knew going into this story that I wouldn't make everyone happy; I knew the AU-ness and the addition of female characters in the boys' lives would alienate some readers. I knew this story wasn't for everyone.

But I didn't write it for everyone. I wrote it for me and held out a small, bright hope that some of you would enjoy it, too. I send out a very sincere thank you to those who've read and especially those who've taken time to leave me your reviews and encouragement.

There were many ways I could have gone with this ending, but only one that would let me sleep at night. Again, I know this ending won't please everyone, but I truly hope you enjoy and that you feel your time spent with this story has been worth it.

Note: there are mature scenes in this chapter as well. Read with that caution.
