Summary: What if the shapeshifter in "Skin" revealed something else to Sam than what he did? How would Sam deal with this new information and how would it affect the brother's relationship? What happens when Sam looks at Dean through the eyes of a stranger?
WARNINGS: AU, pre-slash
BETA: Thanks to the wonderful mayalaen on livejournal for her absolutely excellent beta-work.

darkmoore): When we started this - a new fandom, our first time as co-authors - I was a little scared. I wasn’t sure if this could work, if we could really pull it off. But... it went better than I could ever have imagined and I am very grateful to my sis, for hooking me up with yet another fandom. If it wasn't for her, I'd never have started to watch Supernatural. Thank you, sis, I had a great time!
Author's Note Cassandra (ca_pierson): This story was amazingly fun to write. Mainly because of the co-authorship with darkmoore. We were sailing as smooth as you could wish for and I'm really glad to have embarked on this journey together. We didn't even scratch out each others eyes and I'm very proud of what we accomplished. *raises a glass of chocolate milk* To a very successful collaboration. *huggles her sister*
Joint Author's Note: This is an AU. We split from canon very late in 1.6 "Skin". SPOILERS for everything up to and including this episode are to be expected. This fanfic is the starting point for our own Alternate Universe within Supernatural and hopefully there will be a few joint stories following in this vein.
( Sam had woken to the ropes tightening on his wrists and with his head throbbing dully. It took him a while to realise just what had happened. How could he have missed the difference between Rebecca and the shapeshifter? There must have been <I>something</I> to indicate the danger he was in, and he hadn't noticed at all. No nagging feeling at the back of his head, no oddities in her behaviour. Nothing to alert him to the danger he had been in. Showed him how removed he really was from people he thought of as good friends. )
