Summary:

King Michael of Calden forbids sorcery of any kind, and anyone found practicing magic is doomed to be burned at the stake. John Winchester panics the day he sees his three-year-old son Sam cast a magic spell without even realizing it. Taking drastic measures, he sweeps his youngest son away to be raised by a family as their own in another town far away from the dangers of Calden.

Years later, when newly-knighted Dean Winchester comes to the small town of Crest Haven and first sees the blacksmith’s apprentice working at the forge, sparks fly. But Dean isn’t the only one who’s noticed Sam Winslow at the smith shop. There’s another tournament contestant with sinister intentions who has his eye on the young apprentice, and Dean doesn’t like it. Not at all.

Or…the story about how Fate couldn’t abide Dean and Sam living apart and made damn sure to fix it. :)
