There are some wonderful WIPs being written about S1 SPN, even as S4 is reaching its conclusion:
The Bright Lights of Disturbia by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-syndicated.gif)
leonidaslion : At Stanford, Sam accidentally sees Dean in a hardcore gay porno, and goes kind of crazy with anger, guilt and lust. The events of S1 play out as they do in canon, while Sam pines for Dean and Dean suffers from the after effects of a still mysterious trauma. 12/30? parts posted so far.

roque_clasique : Pre-series, Dean suffers a cataclysmic accident that leaves him permanently disabled and in considerable pain. Sam and Dean reunite, and, as above, the events of S1 play almost as they do in canon, while Dean tries to learn to live, and hunt, in his new body, and Sam struggles with a new relationship to his older brother. 9 stories in the 'verse so far; 6/? of the latest story, "The Good of the Few" posted.

One of the things I love about fanfiction is the way it walks a line between two kinds of creativity: invention and interpretation. Now, IMO, all fiction walks this line, but, because it deals with pre-established characters and situations, fanfiction throws the interpretative dimension of fiction into sharp relief. That’s to say, fanfiction doesn’t simply imitate or borrow those characters and situations. Rather, it offers us an interpretation of them.
So, putting aside the amazingly inventive aspects of both WIPs, I want to think for a minute about how they are interpreting SPN, or, more specifically, the relationship between the Bros.Winchester.
