Author's Notes: Unbetaed, because I do everything at the last minute and I really wanted this posted before Christmas Day (with three hours to spare!). This story is a gift to my friends list, particularly thruterryseyes and siennavie who have made my experiences in fandom this year particularly awesome. It’s also for justmep2, who has been just lovely and for becc_j who is still patiently waiting for my Reverse Bang Story and I'm massively excited to be working with. I hope you’ll all enjoy this shamelessly feel-good festive tale. Title taken from ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ because, you know, someone with a pretty nice voice covered it recently. ;)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Summary:“Everyone deserves a little kindness, Dean.” Outsider POV. Sam has sprung Dean from Purgatory, but the experience has changed his brother forever. Retired from hunting and in the throes of a breakdown, Dean finds himself miles from home with no recollection of how he came to be there and, more importantly, how to get back. Cue a kind soul and a little Christmas spirit.
