Everything that includes them both or centers around them in one way or the other is fine. Missing-year fic or art, AU, fanworks related to her first appearances in S3, whathaveyou. As long as it also kinda relates to hurt!Dean, we want it!

Possible tags: amnesia/memory loss
Reccer's comments: This fic is incredibly beautiful. It's one of the most well written fics I've ever had the pleasure of reading. The author does such a wonderful job with Lisa's voice especially, and what their relationship was to her.

Reccer's comments: This one is short but it's so good. Lisa is awesome in it, and I really love the way it's written, especially regarding Dean's issues.

Possible tags: [pairing: Dean/Lisa], [genre» other: domestic/curtain!fic], grief, dean's deal
Reccer's comments: This is an AU of season 3 after "The Kids Are Alright", where Dean finds out that Ben is actually his son, so Dean and Sam decide to stay. They still hunt, but have their home with Lisa and Ben as a home base. This is the best story including Lisa & Ben that I've read. I love the fact that Sam's there too, and the four of them (plus the occasional Bobby!) are all a family together. Plus there's angst over Dean going to hell.

Reccer's comments: Okay, so this isn't a massively hurt!Dean story, but his grief over losing Sam underlies everything, and it's just so sweet and hot and has a super great Lisa POV, it's one of my favorite Dean/Lisa stories. It has wonderful insights into Dean and Lisa and their relationship.

Reccer's comments: This is one of the best - if not THE best(for me) - tag for Swan Song that focuses on Dean living with Lisa and Ben. After the start of s6 and the remark "I was a mess, most of the time" it is still so possible. It's painful, sad and it gets you, right where it hurts most. Damn...

Reccer's comments: I really don't know what happens, but it's in my bookmarks so it's gotta be pretty great, and it's tagged "Hurt!Dean" - so there's gotta be some injury. I clearly remember liking this, a lot.

Reccer's comments: Very good story about the journey through Underhill, the battles fought and the interesting characters Dean met. It's damn well-written and fun and sad all at once, especially the cold that's seeping through the words from soulless Sam

Reccer's comments: Love this story, it's one of my favourite 'missing year' fics - it deals with Dean trying to come to terms with Sam being gone and trying to fit in and be comfortable with his new, normal life with Lisa and Ben.

Possible tags: pairing: Dean/Lisa, grief, alcoholism, ptsd, psychological damage/broken!dean - or just psychological trauma
Reccer's comments: These are two of my favourite fics by this author. They deal with what happens directly after 5x22. They're about Dean, and his issues, and how Lisa is trying but he is still very much not all right. Dean's narration is almost surreal in its disconnect from reality.

Title: the inevitable zombie apocalypse (but never any zombies)
Author/artist: claudiapriscus
Possible tags: broken bone/fracture, hospitalization, self-esteem issues, pairing: Dean/Lisa
Reccer's comments: This is a neat fic that takes place, again, when Dean is with Lisa. He sees suspicious things on the news, and can't really stand polite society, and manages to crash Lisa's car. Cas makes a cameo.

Title: heat
Author/artist: jaimeykay
Possible tags: pneumonia, shower/bath sharing, pairing: Dean/Lisa
Reccer's comments: Basically, five times someone takes care of Dean when he's sick. Only one of these features Lisa, but it's a very sweet scene.
Link to fanwork: http://jaimeykay.livejournal.com/42563.html
Title: Drowning
Author/artist: whereupon
Possible tags: grief?
Reccer's comments: This is a little stream of consciousness piece that explores Lisa's relationship with Dean and why she makes the decisions that she does. Not much explicit hurt!Dean in this one, so it might not qualify, but we have some lovely imagery of Dean after he shows up after 5x22.

Possible tags: gunshot wound, emotional pain
Reccer's comments: This fic is a great portrait of how soulless!Sam collided with Dean's time at Lisa's, and of all the different kinds of pain this brought to Dean.
Link to fanwork: http://icanhazpie.livejournal.com/4519.html
Title: Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight
Author/artist:
Possible tags: injury, emotional pain
Reccer's comments: The characterisation of Lisa feels like an extension of the woman I was so fond of in the show, with her patience and care for Dean, her capability to help him and to offer him something good, while not giving up herself and who she is.
Link to fanwork: http://nwspaprtaxis.livejournal.com/25835.html
Title: Outside Looking In
Author/artist:
Possible tags: injury, alcohol abuse, grief
Reccer's comments: Lisa must have been so patient and strong and brave during the missing year, balancing hope and care and self-protection. I like how this fic shows how hard it was for her as wells as for Dean.
Link to fanwork: http://purple-carpets.livejournal.com/28385.html
Title: The Full Pause
Author/artist:
Possible tags: sexual disfunction
Reccer's comments: This is beautifully written, and such a perfect capture of what Lisa could have been for Dean in the long run, and how painful and sad his situation was for him without Sam. Lisa is portrayed as calm and confident and caring. The connection from Dean and Lisa's first time to the present of the missing year creates a beautiful and sad full circle.

Title: The Sweetness And The Sorrow
Author/artist:
Possible tags: AU, major injury, hospital, emotional pain, grief
Reccer's comments: Even though this is written in an AU timeline, it could easily have been a part of what had happened between them. Lisa is shown as gentle and caring and strong, and Dean is able to accept comfort from her and tries to move on.

Reccer's comments: This is such a raw, beautiful look into Dean’s headspace post Swan Song. I’ve read a ton of lovely fics set during that time period, but this one still brought something very immediate and affecting to the table. I love how present Sam is in spirit, and how Dean’s love for him shines through everything. I love Lisa, and her constant compassion and strength and general awesomeness. I love how the ending makes me feel. I love everything. <333

Reccer's comments: Okay, this legit made me a little teary-eyed in several places, certain lines and Lisa's blatant AWESOMENESS and the fact that they get the happy ending they never thought they would. /creys in my eyes The whole thing is just so thoughtfully and warmly written.

Title: sketched on the barrel of my gun
Author/artist: dime_for_12
Possible tags: psychological issues, grief
Reccer's comments: A different look at Dean and Lisa’s relationship post 5x22, that deals with how incredibly difficult it must have been for someone like Dean to live that kind of civilian life after the life he’d led before. Delicately, subtly written.

Possible tags: fever, flu
Reccer's comments: Okay, so this was written for one of my prompts, and ft. one of my bulletproof kinks, but ariadnes_string writes some of the best h/c around and this is legit AWESOME. It captures a string of moments between Dean and Lisa when the angst was at a minimum and everything was porny and beautiful... uh, except for Dean’s raging fever, I suppose, but nobody here seems to mind that much.
