Bright Lights of Disturbia

Bright Lights of Disturbia (a.k.a. BLoD or BLOD) is a hurt/comfort Supernatural story written by leonidaslion.
The author's summary: "Not all of our scars are worn on the outside."
According to one article: "... in this fic, the Yellow-Eyed Demon reiterates his claim on Sam by raping Dean on multiple occasions, acting out Sam's long-harbored sexual feelings for his brother. The attacks leave an external scar on Dean's temple, internal tearing after a near-fatal rape, and psychological trauma."Symposium - Supernatural bodies: Writing subjugation and resistance onto Sam and Dean Winchester, by Suzette Chan, Transformative Works and Cultures, volume 4, 2010. (Accessed 3 Feb 2012)
While the story is popular among Supernatural fandom, its dark themes and intense focus on Dean's emotional damage make the story a difficult read and can, in some readers, evoke a visceral and negative reaction.
The story has come under criticism for promising a happy ending, but providing what some readers saw as an ending of very dubious consent around the relationship between Sam and Dean—not the "happy relationship of equals"-Wincest they were hoping for.
The series is also sometimes listed as one of the more controversial stories in Supernatural fandom: 
The story was written over a one-year period and was posted as a WIP consisting of over 60 chapters. At its conclusion, the story contained more than 350,000 words.
It was recorded as a nearly 40 hour podfic by Blackbyrdy, and cybel made an audiobook of it.BLoD audiobook link at Audiofic Archive (Accessed 3 Feb 2012) (offline as of May 2013) It has also inspired multiple works of fan art along with several fanmixes.
