Roses in December (1-4/?)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Title: Roses in December
Prompt: From a prompt by the ever-lovely and talented pkwench. A car accident at the end of Sam's third year at Stanford changes things irrevocably for him, Jess and Dean.
Summary: “God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December.” J. M. Barrie. (Okay, not exactly a summary. That's what the prompt was for.)
Spoilers: This is a Season 1 AU, so none.
Warnings: So far? Not much. A bit of bad language. It's tame by my standards. Otherwise, it features smoking!Dean (just because) and sort-of gratuitous leg injury. You know, the usual. ;)
Disclaimer: Disclaiming disclaimer disclaims all that ought to be disclaimed. Furthermore, I disclaim.
Author's Note: This is a WIP, and I have no idea how long it's going to end up. It's kind of an experiment, so bear with me. :)
