Incestuous Adventures in Post-Apacalyptic Dating by not_refined
SPN, PG-13
And they all lived happily ever after and double dated. (Schmoopy cracky future fic, spoilers for 5x08.)
Got five minutes? Dare you not to crack a grin at this.

Give the Lie by dreamlittleyo
SPN, NC-17
It turns out Dean was wrong when he said there was no such thing as unicorns. It also turns out that when a unicorn steals your memories, you have to play nice to get them back. But what's a Winchester to do in the meantime?
One day I'm going to stop being surprised at all the really good fic I still haven't read. I'm going to stop having the thought of 'omg, how did I not read this before?!?'. But not today. How come I didn't know about this!?! *sigh* Anyway, this is a lovely little fic of crack-that-couldn't. lol. I think it was supposed to be crack - and with sparkley unicorns and amnesia plot lines how could it not be? - but between the really good writing, the unexpected romance, the stinging angst and heartache Dean goes through and the simple loveliness of season 1 Winchester boys it just really can't let itself be crack.

White Knight, Talking Backwards by destina
J2, R (PG-13?)
A short shot of adorable Jensen doped up on pain meds and his Jared, real or imaginary?, to the rescue. Makes you want to *smoosh* the story!

Which had me rereading a fandom classic:
The Truth About Heaven by destina
J2, NC-17
As Supernatural nears the end of its run, Jared and Jensen have careers and relationships waiting for them. Trouble is, all they want is each other, and a string of quiet epiphanies changes everything. Haven't we all read this like at least twice? Its just that good. Its funny how now it almost feels like a flashback fic - what with Sandy and Jared being together in the beginning and the slow easy discovery of feelings the boys have. I think it probably has one of the most perfect endings ever and each time a I read it my heart just thumps a little harder. It also makes me feel all soft and nostalgic for how young and sweet they both seem. Oh boys.

No Strings Could Secure You by dugindeep
J2 AU, R
The Media Freeze took away all music, movies, and gaming systems to sterilize citizens of any excessive emotions and let them live their own lives. Media Agent Jared Padalecki upholds the Freeze, destroying media and arresting those who possess it. But his world viewpoint is skewed when he watches a TV show and experiences what all the offenders have – raw emotion. His life is further upended when he builds a friendship with actor Jensen Ackles, who turns him onto more entertainment and opens his eyes to the beauty of this creative world. I'm a really impressed with this. This was an amazing job of bringing a classic piece of literature into the fandom world. And I just think that Fahrenheit 451, the book this is based on, is something everyone should read, so I was excited for this to have worked out so well.

The Night Could Just Bend on Forever by ampersands
J2, PG
Things have been ending for a while now. The is lovely writing style, that gives deep expressive and descriptive implications to subtle nuances. Jensen and Jared road trip to Texas after the show finally ends. You get the sense of the places they visit and how they feel about each other even though they are stilted in their attempts to actually discuss anything. The ease of their friendship tangible and solid.

Where the Wild Things Are and Into the Wild by annie46
J2 AU, NC-17
Animal Psychologist Jensen Ackles has been sent on a very mysterious mission for the US Government. When he finally meets the ‘animal’ they want him to tame, he realizes that he is out of his depth. Will he be able to fulfill his dangerous mission or will he leave his strange charge in the hands of people who do not really understand him. Sometimes you just want to read something that is so very AU and far removed from anything realistic, ya know? Well, I do, at least. I can't help it, I love things like this. Maybe the stories are implausible, but they are unique. And when you've read as much fanfic as I have, that can be powerfully alluring. I love how child-like Jared is. Stripping a person down to their basic instincts is fascinating. And topped with lovely happy-ever-afters, of course I enjoyed these.

I don't kow why I'm All Over this Meme by dugindeep
J2 AU, NC-17
It wasn’t explicit, but they’re just 15, and it’s a decent sex scene packed into 90 minutes of college hilarity. How could Jared not feel something about it? OMFG so much yes. *moans*

I WANT THIS TO BE A REAL LENGTH FIC, omg, so much.

Your Kind's My Kind by unreckless
J2 AU, PG-13
On the eve of college graduation, two best friends struggle with the label on their relationship and that hazy thing called the future. This? Is totally my kind of fic. But its not the kind I get to read often. It would be easy to say that its snarky, funny J2 living together kind of story. Cuz it is. But its also them being guys. Like real guys. With bad eating habits, unattractive moments, zits and a complete lack of the ability to actually sit down and talk out a situation. (Don't look at me that way, I have a large family full of guys.) I also really loved the fact that they have been best friends for 12 years. It gives off a vibe the real Jensen and Jared do - that deep down closeness you can only get from spending a lot of time with someone. So, to recap, there is snark, humor, 'manliness', friendship, hijinks, sex, and loyalty in their relationship. omg I'm in love. The story only lightly touches on these things, but you can really get a vibe for everything. Making this a Win in my book.

I Could Stay With You by standing_fic
J2, PG-13, AU(-ish)
It's their wedding day, and pretty much everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong. still, they're married! also, a cake fight of epic proportions. So lovely to read something schmoopy and sweet with a happy ending after all the painful loss and angst going on in J2 right now. I like how the little bits of their personalities are things only the other picks up on - like Jared knowing how to deal with Jensen's mounting anger. It is the little things that really reflect a close, lasting relationship.


And you may or may not care about this, so feel free to skip...

On the nature of AU. For a while now I've wanted to post about what I consider AU. You might have noticed something like this I put 'AU-ish'. And there are other things that have them dating starting at season 1 that I don't list as AU. To me, AU is for something that really is an Alternate Universe. Like, they meet as kids and become doctors or something. But something that pretty much the same until they meet each other for Supernatural then I think that is more of what could have happened in this reality if things had been different. I'm sorry, I'm not explaining it well. But that is my opinion ad that is why I do or don't put in AU. (This one is -ish because nothing in it is beyond the realm of this reality, but I can't tell from the story if they are actors on Supernatural or teachers in Texas, ya' know?)
And for Supernatural stories it has to be very AU for me to list it is such. In a world where monsters, demons and magic plays havoc anything can go. But say Mary didn't die, or Sam didn't got Stanford or they were raised separate then I'll list it as AU.

The gender ratio was a bit off, don't you think?

LMFAO

I LUV U SHOW.

If you haven't been reading vamphile's newest fic TKO then I'm sorry, but we might have to revoke your status as a J2 'shipper.

SRSLY, you need. to. read. this story folks.

Oh J2 AU, how I love you. (and vamphile too)

Hate Crime by freakn_out
J2 AU, PG-13
The boys get a new neighbour: "What's the matter?” Rolling his head against Jensen shoulder, Jared stares into the fireplace, “I ran into our new next-door neighbour…. Apparently he’s got a problem with gays.”“Yeah?” Jensen’s arms tighten, “At least we can forget the housewarming gift.” Um, massive schmoop with a homophobic hate crime. Um...I know, you think WTF? But honestly, that is what it is. And I actually liked it. For all that it has something really horrific in it and treats it respectfully, it really is just light schmoop. Like domestic dating and Twu Luv. So vanilla you might ask for chocolate sprinkles on top. But like I said, it was a good read for me.


Don't Let It Go To Waste by kinkynicky
J2 AU, NC-17
Growing up in Texas is hard. Growing up in Texas and realizing at the age of 16 that you’re in love with your male best friend? Is harder. So as you might know, I've been backtracking lately. Finding things I read and somehow, in my stupidity, forgot to post about. This is one of them. I actually really thought I posted this. I was looking for it to rec to someone. Then I figured out that I hadn't. And then I was kind of excited because, of course, that meant I had to read it again so I would get the details right. Man, it was just as good as I remember. Teenage usting, friendship and schmoop. *happysigh*. First-time sex, drunken kisses and sexual discovery. *swoon*


By Proxy by timewillbe
J2 also Jared/Brock, NC-17
Jared has a little thing for Dean and everyone knows it but him. And Jensen. Guh Yep, that pretty much says it. lol. Remember the fascination with Teen Dean and Brock Kelly? There were several like this where Jared uses Brock as a stand in for his lust for Jensen. This one, however, is one of the best. Full of steam and jealousy - yum.

The Decisions We Make by garvaldmains
J2 AU, NC-17
Jensen is an orphan, fostered by the Padalecki’s, the product of a lonely childhood he is thrown into the Padalecki life and into the life of his new foster brother Jared. At nine they have nothing in common, at sixteen the introverted, closed off, snarky Jensen still has nothing in common with the wild child, firebrand, free spirit that is Jared, but the decisions they make in life mean that eventually this could all change.
This is easily one of the best AUs in fandom. I doubt there is anyone that read my journal that hasn't read this fic. I just happen to click on it today by accident and got caught up in it again. I think I've actually read it like 4 times - yes, its that good. I keep thinking I need to say something profound about a story of this caliber to try to do it justice with a description. But really, I don't need to. The very few that haven't read it can look at the many hundred - srsly - of comments to know that its a beautiful, amazing well written story. I've already posted about this story, but I figured anything I've read four times deserves another go.

Free Falling by evening_spirit
J2, R
explicit sex, mental illness, anti-schmoop I think this might have started off as a one off and developed into a 'verse. There is a disjointed unreal quality about this story, yet it is also rather beautiful and fluid. It is hard to describe, but then Jensen (in the story) probably feels that way all the time so it really lends itself to helping the reader to 'feel' Jensen, even when parts are told from Jared's perspective. The link takes you to a master post and you can read it either as it is written or in linear order. I chose linear.


Worlds Apart by freakn_out
J2 AU, PG-13
In medieval days, a peasant has no standing in society according to the nobles So then why does Sir Ackles suddenly take an interest in peasant-boy Jared? Is it Jared's dream finally coming true, or something else...? Its a fairy tale, as in an actual fairy tale. Which was kinda cool in its uniqueness. Its not the most 'in-character' piece I've ever read, but I'm just a sucker for happily ever after schmoop!


There's No Logic (So Please Believe Me) by raphaela667
J2, R
So, overall, Jared was not especially surprised that he’d fallen in love with Jensen suddenly. He was a little shocked that he’d fallen in love with Jensen. Who was, OK, sort of blindingly pretty, but you got over that once you figured out that he would rather buy new underwear than wash the old ones (sometimes, Jared got annoyed with him and did his laundry, it made sense to him). A lovely cute little story about falling in love with your best friend. About knowing someone. Did I mention how cute it is?

I'd Marry Your Cat Just to Get In the Family by wanttobeatree
SPN, PG-13
Written for woodstarling's prompt 'Dean gives Castiel all his lame pick-up lines and Castiel keeps trying to use them on Sam' over at THE TOTALLY AWESOME SAM/CASTIEL COMMENTFIC MEME. Complete and total WTF?!?! CRACK. OMG, such good crack. Hang on, I need to rest my gut for a sec.


And if you like that one then you might also like Just a Question of Morality by emerald_embers also from the meme for the Castiel discovers texting. Dean ignores his messages, but Sam is too polite to do so prompt. A little less on the crack and little more on the cute schmoop. I said a few weeks ago that I was sad about the complete lack of Sam/Castiel fics out there so this is fucking awesome to me! I'm so enjoying this.

So here is the deal, there was a recent post on spnstoryfinders asking for hurt Dean or something like that. Anyway, the topic interests me and there were a ton of links. I'm going through them. Some are really good. I'm still working through so there may be more to come.


We Belong Together by not_refined
SPN AU, PG-13
Wincest AU. Sam and Dean, growing up and growing closer together in the ordinary world. I'm not sure how I missed posting about this when I read it almost a year ago. But when I stumbled across it again I found it tore me up just as much the second time around. Hauntingly beautiful. Dean being fragile like this makes my heart clinch. I love how wonderful John is to both the boys in this. Anyway, I'm sure most people have read it as not_refined is well known for some really amazing stories. Like the Still Life 'verse. The damage done to Dean only makes him more beautiful. The innocence and struggle of life that make up the fabric of Dean and Sam's life in that story is breathtaking. These two stories just really touch something deep in me.


Nothing Dark by evening_spirit
J2 AU, NC-17
Jared thinks his life sucks (even if he denies feeling bad about). He starts college, which he didn't want and he swears he will not make friends there. But then he meets another student, a boy with emerald eyes, who draws and draws, and draws . . . Jensen is an amazing artist, he's mysteriously shy, and Jared finds himself fascinated to the point of obsession. Can anyone explain to me why stories like this are so immensely intriguing to me? I mean, yes, the writing is good and I like the characters and all that, but why is young, confused Jared and a 'damaged' Jensen so mesmerizing? (And I mean that in terms of 'damaged!Jensen', not as in someone with his disability being damaged, k?) Is it the childlike innocence that somehow can merge and weave seamlessly with mature, adult actions? I honestly don't know why, but stories like this always snag my attention. When they are written well then its a win-win for me - this was, btw, a win-win.


Of Black Dogs and ASL by smokeyhorse
SPN AU, PG, Gen
A miscommunication results in a hurt 10-year-old Dean and a heart-to-heart between Sam and John. AU - deaf!Dean. Schmoop! This is a short little thing, but it is absolutely touching and darling. Little Sam was adorably cute, Dean is more of a concept - and him being deaf is just plain interesting to me, and John is very John, but maybe he'll get a clue in this world. Anyway, I really really wish this were a larger 'verse. The author did the characters great and I love the emotion of the story.


Sleepless Night by prepare4trouble
SPN, PG, Gen
After being injured on a hunt, Dean tries to carry on as normal. Man, I think I might have actually sniffled on the last line. Poor Dean. My only complaint is that it is too short. I just got into it!

Authors, I love you people. I really really do. You make my life richer and filled with intense emotions that leave me breathless. I am extremely appreciative of the time you take to not only write out a story, but spellcheck, beta and draft - meaning, I know a lot goes into a well written fic.

But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, for the love of all things Holy and Winchester, if you are writing a multi-chaptered fic PLEASE either link the chapters on each page or have a master post with all the chapter links. Or hell, at the very least use consistent tags.

Because Dudes, having to go back and shift through a journal for the next chapter is.... *cough* Just please, it would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

Thank you, that is all.

With huge amounts of love, Peachus

1st & 10: He Did It Again! by cfriskney
J2 AU, NC-17
Jared is the hottest young quarterback to come down the line in a long time. Jensen is the trainer that wants to make sure Jared takes over for the Dallas Cowboys...but then all hell breaks loose and neither man is ready for it... Dude, I love me some fucking football. And the idea of Jared as a Quarterback for the Cowboys is just about the hottest thing ever. But really? What I enjoyed the most was Jared's confidence. There aren't a lot of sport AUs out there, just a small handful. This is definitely a good addition to the genre!


You're The Last To Ask by stangerine88
SPN, R-ish
“So you’re like that chick from X-men.” Dean says quietly. I kinda really liked this. Set in Season 2 and it really feels like it. Very early Sam and Dean. Which is nice. They have some angst what with Dean and his emotional issues and Sam having to deal with the psychic shit and running from the cops, but it isn't heavy drawn out end of the world type of darkness. For all that its a Wincest fic, I think the characters were really spot on and the plot followed well with how they interact with each other. I did giggle out loud at a some of the very brother-ish banter. And Dean's issue with people thinking they're a couple. (Boy just needs to get a clue - OF COURSE they're a couple!) So yeah, it is brand new but really felt like a flashback read - which I greatly enjoy!

Just a short Hello.

So, I have a stat counter on my journal. And I sometimes go through to see if there is anything specific people are looking for - meaning, are there any specific tags that get clicked a lot. And for the first time I took a moment to look at what countries people visiting my journal are from.

WOW. I had no idea. On any given day there are people from all over the world dropping by. That is so cool!!! As someone who can neither read nor write in any other language (hell, you've all seen my typing. I do well just to get all the English words in correctly.'Do well'..., is that right? Anyway.), I find this highly interesting. And surprising!

So, if you've dropped by, even for a quick look, please feel free to say Hello! It would make for a very bright, shiny day!

oh - and from me to you:

Hey there, Sug. Glad y'all stopped by!

A few small tasty tidbits...

Kinky sexing. Pliant Dean. Persuasive Sam.

At the Alter of You, I Worship by mickeym
I've [mickeym] read a lot of D/s stuff, and spanking, and whatnot, but not much/any of my more favorite kinks, one of which is fisting. And I wondered how Sam would approach it--and 'worshipful' popped into my head.

Sam's pretty sure Dean doesn't secretly harbour a food fetish, no matter how worked up he gets over a mini cheesesteak.

Everything Feels Like the End of the World by chash
J2 AU, NC-17
Jared Padalecki is ridiculously and pathetically in love with this hot senior who's really into acting. So, clearly, the only solution is to get into acting and go from there.
You remember that boy (or girl) in highschool that made your toes curl and your heart pound? Yeah, I remember him. I remember how it really did feel like I had something fluttering around in my belly and I think my fingers might literally burn off from the intense yearning burning through them to just touch him touch him touch him. I was madly, intensely, hopelessly in love in highschool. This fic? Feels just like that. It brought back every yearning, usting moment.

And then it flipped.

It became this completely mature, normal adult finding this person that they just clicked with. Someone they enjoy spending time with. Someone that makes you smile because they've left you a completely average text message. And you know what? The story became even better. The story became a realistic happy ending. The story became about two guys I might know. A story about two typical people possibly dating in what could be a typical relationship.
Yeah, chash owns my heart right about now.

LOL, the only difference between every highschool crush I had or remember my friends having? We'd never heard of cell phones... Oh, how times change.
