Summary
When Dean appeared on the side of the road after confronting Amara and Chuck, Sam’s dead girlfriend from 12 years ago was the last thing he expected to see. Jessica stood a few feet away from him, arms crossed over her chest. It was cold out, and she was still wearing the same clothes she was when Dean met her all those years ago. There was recognition in her eyes when she saw him, but confusion clouded her features. Dean stared at her, shocked. “Jessica?”
She shifted uncomfortably. “Dean? Winchester?” She looked around and crossed her arms over her chest, remembering his comment from only minutes ago when he broke into her apartment. “Where am I? What’s going on?”
“I don’t know,” Dean said. “How did you get here?”
Jessica was terrified and incredibly confused. Dean looked different from the last time she saw him. Older. But that couldn’t be possible. But then, how was she even here? Where even is here? “I don’t know. I just…showed up here. The last thing I remember was you and Sam leaving to go find your dad. I blinked and showed up here. Where’s Sam?”
--OR--
Amara brings back Jessica instead of Mary. -

Summary
After Dean and company rescue Sam from Crowley's clutches, Crowley is pissed. With Rowena still on the loose, and his only sure-fire weapon to take her out stolen from his grasp, Crowley is determined to take Sam back and use him to end her once and for all. But with Dean Winchester officially back from Purgatory and resuming his role of protecting Sam, Crowley knows no demon is going to get near Sam Winchester now. Instead Crowley enlists a fellow monster who has already had his eyes on the Winchesters to get the youngest Winchester back. But Crowley isn't the only one with an agenda, and rumors of his interest in Sam have spread. Specifically in the power laying dormant in the young man's blood. And the desire to control blood that special, that potent, is spreading, leading the young hunter to be put in an unwanted spotlight, and leaving it up to his big brother and their ragtag collection of friends to try and keep him safe when the scent of blood in the water has the sharks, or rather monsters, circling. With a new, but equally dangerous enemy in play, the boys lean on a new friend for his experience in the arena they suddenly find themselves playing in.

Summary
Dean has NO idea what to do when the wall breaks in Sam's mind and Sam's first move--once he's conscious again--is to try and 'service' him. So he sends Sam away on the spot, and Castiel brings Sam to Hayden’s apartment (original character).
Hayden and Sam have been best friends since high school. And even though she had no idea Sam was in Hell, or soulless, she readily takes up the challenge of helping him recover. But...it won't be easy. Or fast. 120 years of training and constant visions of Hell in Hayden's apartment keep Sam convinced he's in danger. It will take all of her attention to help him recover...and more magic than she knew she had.
(Formerly 'Look Closely')
*Of note: This story simplifies the cannon. It pretends the entire storyline of God Castiel didn't happen, Castiel brought his body back, put the barrier up to keep him from remembering, then when he realized there was no soul, Death got it and put it back at Dean's request, which shatters the wall. (Also that ONLY Sam and Lucifer were in the cage.)*

Summary
Hearing that Cas had ignored Sam’s call was the first major sign that something was cosmically wrong. There were minor signs of course, and all piled together they were impossible to ignore.
Sam was different, and not in any predictable sense.
__
“Sam is entirely Sam. He still has his soul.” Cas says, “This is a good thing.”
“I’m sensing a but in there, Cas…”
Cas shakes his head, eyes wide with helplessness and pity. “Sam’s soul has been shattered.”

A speculative piece on Sam’s personality changes post-Hell. Analysis of Soulless Sam as an analogy for trauma. What if Soulless had a soul the whole time?
