Summary: “I don't have asthma.” He just got like this when he spent too much time around massive amounts of dust, or cats, or when he was sick, or every spring when there was pollen everywhere, but that was just allergies, not asthma.

Comments: I WROTE A THING. I haven't written anything for almost TWO YEARS, and not for the lack of trying – I had all the ideas and couldn't get anything out! I can't tell you how excited I am to have finished something!

Also, would you believe I wrote half of this on my cell-phone? On. My. Cell-phone. In the bus. My fanfic-fu has reached new levels.

And then the important bit: I do have asthma, but I'm not all that familiar with related vocabulary (especially in English) or how it actually works. Then again, the Dean in this story knows even less, so... :D I don't know how widely asthma was recognized and treated in the US around Dean's childhood, but I imagine it wasn't very widely, and I also imagine that John's nomadic lifestyle, lack of money and insurances and general johnwinchesterness would have kept Dean from ever being diagnosed in his youth in any case. Dean, I supposed, would have just thought it was somehow his fault and worked all the more harder to keep up with his father. (Which is only possible because I gave him a relatively mild version of asthma, mind you. An untreated asthma can be really dangerous, so if you have asthma, don't be a Winchester. See a doctor.)
