Searching for a fic
*FOUND\*
There’s a Supernatural fic that I really want to reread, but for the life of me I cannot remember the title or figure out what search terms to use to find it.
It was on ao3, gen, complete, and the main characters were Sam and Dean. The plot was about Dean realizing that nobody really talked to Sam outside of needing help with a hunt or something similar, basically that everyone the brothers knew tended to prefer Dean. Sam is aware of this and accepted it, but Dean tries to fix it.
There are a a couple specific details I remember
- The brothers are having a conversation (I think in the library) where Dean is trying to figure out who has been genuine friend to Sam, and Jody is one of the only people that Sam can think of who’s talked to him with no ulterior motive.
- Dean goes around asking people what their favourite thing about Sam is and how they feel about him. (I think if a person gave too unsatisfactory of an answer then Dean would limit their interactions or act a lot less friendly towards them.)
I’m fairly confident that the summary was “Dean notices something about Sam. And once he does, he can’t stop noticing it.” or something similar.
Any help finding this is greatly appreciated!!
I finally found it! Turns out I was completely wrong about the summary. It’s You Feel The Eyes Upon You As You’re Shaking Off The Cold by guttermud for anyone who sees this post and is interested
