Title: Leave All Your Love And Your Longing Behind
Rating: R
Pairing: Dean/Lisa
Word Count: ~28,000
Warnings/Spoilers: This contains spoilers for all of season 3 and the beginning of season 4. Also, character death (think season 3 and 4).
Summary: What if, after leaving Lisa and Ben at the beginning of season 3, Dean had changed his mind and turned back around. What would happen then?

Author's Notes: This is my entry for this years spn_j2_bigbang.The story follows the events of season three as though Dean and Sam had stayed with Lisa and Ben. Each chapter happens AFTER the episode it's named for. The episodes mostly occur as in canon, and here is a link to the supernatural wiki which has amazingly good summaries of each episode so that if you wish you can follow along and refresh your memory as to what happened. Or, if you're hard core and have the dvds, you can watch along with the story as well. I'm told it can be read and understood without all that, but if you have the time I highly recommend watching the episodes along with the story. The story does not include episode 1 of season 3, I didn't just forget to post it ;)
The title comes from lyrics of the song 'Dog Days Are Over' by Florence and the Machine.

A HUGE thanks to my beta, quovadimus83  who when I told her my idea said immediately: "I freaking LOVE Ben, sign me up!" And helped me make this story much, much better than it would have been :D

A hug to my artist, idontagree, who made the lovely dividers I used, and who drew an amazing picture of Ben that I'll hopefully be able to post soon. She's going through a rough time right now, so send her virtual hugs!

And a round of applause for my pinch-hitter artist, angelicfoodcake, who came up with amazing art that I love, so make sure to check it out in the art post!!!

Wah! Love, love, love this fic, and I was coming back to re-read it for the third or fourth time when I realized it would be so much easier if it were in a downloadable pdf...and so I made one for it, here. I hope you don't mind; if you do, though, I can just delete it :)

Wow, I don't mind at all :D Thank you!
I'm thrilled to know you get such enjoyment out of the fic, and that you find it worth reading more than once :D
Do you mind if I post it to my journal?
