Summary
A 14.13 Lebanon rewrite. When Dean uses a wish-granting pearl to try and kill the archangel Michael before he can escape the cage in Dean's head, they instead wind up with a newly-resurrected John Winchester.
It's been more than a decade since John died, and a lot has changed: Mary is alive, Sam and Dean have what passes for a proper home in the Men of Letters Bunker, and they're living with angels. John doesn't know angels are real, he doesn't know about the fragile new relationship between Dean and Castiel, and most of all, he doesn't know that Dean said yes to Michael, or that Dean's plan to defeat Michael would send him to a fate worse than death.
Now Dean must contend with both his father asking questions he can't answer, and his loved ones learning about the darker truths of his childhood, all while constantly battling the archangel trapped inside him. But Dean coming to terms with his history may be the difference between this being the beginning of a journey—or the end.

Summary
Dean had been ready to die to take down Amara and save the world for the one-millionth time. He had maybe even been looking forward to his shitshow of a life coming to an end and to finally have peace.
But apparently, God's sister had the hots for him and was giving him a "second chance."
Waking up in 2001 before Stanford - before everything, Dean knew what he had to do.
This time, he'd save everyone he'd failed or die trying.
(This time, Sam would have that apple-pie life he had always wanted.)
Or: time travel fix it, where instead of Mary being resurrected at the s11, Dean gets sent back in time to before Sam leaves for Stanford.

Summary
“Hands in the air!”
Morgan had Sam on the floor in seconds, knee in his back. Jenkins shoved Dean down hard enough that the carpet burned his cheek.
“Sam and Dean Winchester, you are under arrest.” Hotch began.
“Where’s Hendrickson?” Dean asked, the words bitten out from where his chest was pressed to the floor.
Hotch held his stare, steady and cold. “You thought you had trouble when it was just Hendrickson. You’ve got an entire unit now, Dean.”

The BAU finally get their claws into the Winchesters. They aren't going to let go without a fight.

In the process Sam learns a lot about his brother’s childhood, and makes it his mission to give young Dean a second chance to grow up without the burden of being a parent to him.
Dean is absolutely smitten by baby Sammy, and takes immediately to spoiling the kid rotten, but behaves coldly towards his younger self which leads to some much needed discussion.
Cas is confused why both kids follow him around like lost puppies, but Dean finds the sight adorable and ends up questioning his feelings towards the angel upon seeing him behave so paternally to the two boys

Summary
Dean’s life is on the road. Passing through different towns one week to the next, following his dad’s orders, flirting and scamming his way through every bar in the Midwest.
So when he decides to head to sunny California for his brother’s graduation, he’s not expecting his whole world to flip on its head.
But it does.
With his dad in the hospital and Sam back in the picture for the first time in four years, Dean finds himself living a life he never dreamed of: mundane work days, lazy afternoons with his brother, nights out with real, honest-to-god friends.
It’s not what Dean is used to—not even what he wants, really—but the more time that passes, the more he begins to wonder if he can really let it all go when the time comes.
After all, his life is on the road, and soon enough it’s gonna come calling again.
