We Drank a Thousand Times - Master Post

[glorious_spoon]

Title: We Drank a Thousand Times
Rating: R, for adult themes and semi-graphic sex
Warnings: (highlight to read) Mentions of hate crimes and homophobia, non-explicit references to rape (not involving a canon character), original character death, references to underage prostitution. As well as angst and gratuitous bad language, but that's sort of par for the course with me.
Pairing: Dean/OMC, brief Dean/Cassie
Summary: They meet in a bar fight in North Carolina when Dean is nineteen, broke, and desperate, then again when a hunt brings the Winchesters into town a few years later. Neither one of them ever puts a name to it but every once in a while, through the years, Dean finds his way back.

Leaves are falling all around, it's time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay.
But now it's time for me to go. The autumn moon lights my way--
For now I smell the rain, and with it pain, and it's headed my way.
Sometimes I grow so tired, but I know I've got one thing I got to do--

Here from the download. I liked this look at small town life during and after the Winchesters, and someone who could have been a fellow traveler but had his own ties. I think Dean could relate :)

I downloaded the PDF! This fic is so great, most certainly the BEST original character I've ever read. I'm a huge Dean fan and recently I've been drifting from him. Your fic single handedly reacquainted me with the Dean I loved :)

Thank you so much! That's high praise, and I'm really glad you enjoyed this.

I absolutely don't mind, thank you!

It's been a while since I've checked this fic, so... :)
