Summer of 1999: After being injured on a hunt w/ his father & brother, and despite his wishes, 20 yr. old Dean is left w/ family friend & fellow hunter, Bobby Singer while John & Sam leave on a week-long hunt. Not one to let Dean stew too long in his own juices, Bobby quickly puts Dean to task. Along the way, the window into Bobby’s world is opened and through it Dean learns many things about Bobby’s life and he may just learn something about himself as well. Author’s Notes: Written for the SPN-Gen Big Bang 2011 I’ve chosen to do this story to further show how Bobby lives carefully balanced on the fence between the hunter’s world and the real world; To show that a life like that is possible (even for Dean) if all the pieces fit snugly; To show the beginning of Bobby and Dean’s father/son relationship and how profound that relationship becomes in both of their lives.
