hoodie_time | 3 recs: Dean&Benny, Purgatory&Hell

Let's pretend it's still May 31st somewhere in the world, shall we? /o\

Anyway. The recs in this post are all a) set in Purgatory, b) have Dean and Benny in them, and c) tie Dean's time in Purgatory back to his time in hell in some way. Because that combination is basically my current catnip.

Summary: The closest he gets is that it’s hunting at its finest. There's no need to worry about the innocent or of making too much of a scene; he can do what he’s good at and the only black mark is if Cas will see what this place is turning him into.
Reccer’s comments: A darker take on Dean's issues in Purgatory.
