fic: This dark shroud hides a face beneath it (the underside remix)

Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Dean/OMC(s)
Wordcount: 5097.
Notes: This story was part of the kamikazeremix challenge. It was originally posted here. Many many thanks to vinylroad for pulling beta duties when I demanded help with Dean hooker!fic. You are the bravest soul, my friend.

I'm not going to warn for or rate this, but it's a remix of poisontaster's very dark Halo (In Reverse), which you should read, if you haven't already. Both stories just got recced at spnroundtable under Hustlers & Bathhouses, actually.

Um, rather than going into long and ambivalent thoughts on this subject, though, I'd just like to encourage anyone interested in this topic to read Melissa Farley's "Prostitution, Trafficking and Cultural Amnesia: What We Must Not Know In Order to Keep the Business of Sexual Exploitation Running Smoothly" published in the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism, Vol: 18, 109 in 2006. It's long, but compelling and shocking and brings to light a lot of invisible issues with the subject matter of this story and others like it. I'll try to get a link up in the next few hours, but it's available through Google Scholar, if you're part of an institution that grants access. You can download the pdf here.

Summary: These are the things Dean does for his family.
