Hit the Ground Crawling by jonny_vrm
SPN, NC-17
After Sam pulls Dean out of Hell, Dean stops talking. It takes a week for Sam to convince Dean to open his mouth so Sam can check that his tongue hasn’t been cut out. It takes two weeks for Sam to accept that Dean really isn’t talking. Then it takes a week of silence, the two of them sitting in the Impala like ventriloquist dummies, sitting in motel rooms like human taxidermy, before Sam decides to start talking for the both of them. Intense and powerful in its progression and development. For all that it is au-ish and different, it has a darkly realistic quality to it that is very atmospheric of the show. Fantastic writing and a gripping plot. I, of course, can't *not* mention the heated burn of hot sex.

When Sammy Refused to Sleep by astatine_burn
SPN, PG-13, Gen
John, Sam and Dean move into their first home after Mary. Sam refuses to sleep and John begins to suspect there's something sinister in the house. Oh wow. Ok, so this is not at all my typical thing, but I really really liked it. There are so many tiny details that just click for me. First, it starts off with saying that John and the boys have been on the road for 2 years trying to out run the thing that is after them. I have to tell you that goes a long way with me understanding John as a parent. I have always had one issue with John - that he chose revenge over his sons. (I love John, I'm not character bashing.) But this really makes since to me. That it might not have started as this burning revenge thing -that might have built slowly as he had to run and hide and protect Sam and Dean. It makes me like him *more* to think of it like this. Also, the idea of little Sam having such a hard time settling down in an actual home for any length of time after spending so much of his short life constantly on the move feels really natural to me. I don't know this author, but I think they did a wonderful job of understanding little children. Anyway, its weeSammy and big brother Dean (a little) and daddy John - there are no overly syrupy cute moments, just a snapshot of what life really might have been like for them.

The Principal by Emma15
SPN, PG, Gen
WeeDean and WeeSam are called into the Principal's office. And one ore because I can't get enough of them as little boys. And this is really how I see Dean at this age. He's sweet and polite, but you can already see the cocky confidence layered over his worries and insecurities. And Little Sammy - holding on tight to Big Brother but too smart for his own good so he just *has* to tell it all. And the Principal's reaction is pretty much how every woman reacts, and how can they not with those two boys?

Whatever You Say (The Vehicular Displacement Remix) by keerawa
SPN, NC-17
Somehow, even when whammied by a spell that makes him do whatever Dean says, Sam still gets his way. This is an alternative ending remix of jasmasson's delightfully kinky Sam/Dean fic, Whatever You Say.
This is just flat out fucking hot. The original is amazing too. You also won't want to miss the other 2 stories of the 'verse the author is placing this in - especially Setting the Mood. Its an amazing mesh of Sam/Dean and Sam/Jess that is extremely hot, but Sam's grief also adds a touch of melancholy to it. Nice set of reads.

Boy Falling Out of the Sky by sylvanwitch
SPN, NC-17
When Sam steps in to rescue a boy and the boy's best friend from Green Bank Regional High School's biggest bullies, he expects trouble. What he doesn't expect is the trouble he gets. Sam is sixteen and keeping all kinds of secrets from Dean--about the boy he kind of likes and the supernatural situation he's found himself in. These secrets start to take their toll at home, where Dean is harboring his own secret, one that might be the most life-changing of all. This was really cool. Something a little different for me - a case fic with a decidedly Sam-focus. The main plot is not about Sam&Dean. Its about one of Sam's experiences in high school, homophobia and what is probably his first solo hunt. I really enjoyed it. And for me, of course, it was made all the better because it did lead to Wincest and Sam&Dean. I thought it was a win all the way around.

Give Me Splendid, Silent Sun by maboheme
SPN, NC-17
Down and out in Bogalusa, where the summer sun don’t shine, just burns and churns and turns so bright ... All I can hear in my head is Louis Armstrong's rasping gravelly voice singing "...Bright blessed days...dark sacred nights. And I think to myself...what a wonderful world." The other lyrics of the song don't have anything to do with it, but those just keep filtering through my head. Honestly, the writing style in this is not anything like the things I typically enjoy, but this one really is beautiful. Its poetic and lyrical, with a burning and heat that inflames from under the skin. Its all feeling and touch and hedonistic warmth.
~short


But then maboheme has that gift, you know? Bedtime Stories is one of the most lovely little Jensen&Jared pieces I've ever read. Again, that hedonistic warmth and poetic rhythm slide over your skin, only in this one tender and sloppy with a lightness that infuses the best kind of J2 stories. As it tells you, these are the kinds you listen to. Absolutely lovely, both of them.

The Dangers of Bullying by jassy3399
SPN, G, Gen
It's a very bad idea to mess with little Sammy Winchester. Because little Sammy Winchester is downright adorable, Big Brother Dean is pretty awesome and John Winchester is just hellahot as Cool Dad. *grins*

Ok, I *just* saw this rec someplace and can't remember where, but OMG, it is so good.
When It's Done by elizah_jane

Dean's not sure he and Sam have a beginning. Great storytelling that stirs and shakes up a linear time, creating a new world of fated love and happy endings.

Without Packages, Boxes, or Bags by valiant
SPN, NC-17
Maybe Christmas doesn't come from a store.
This is one of those that you need to heed the warnings: PWP, underage (Dean is 16, Sam is 12), masturbation, voyeurism/exhibitionism, cuddling and brothering. Hot weecest fic. Yes, its feels dirty hot wrong (YUM), but it also has layers of love, angst and *Winchester*. You can see these two boys fighting so hard to be a family, hanging so tightly to what little they have. And Dean, doing the absolute best he knows how to take care of Sam, to make sure Sam never feels wrong or like a freak. And the sexual discovery, wooboy. Yeah, that part is completely YUM.


Blow Out the Candles I Still Hear Them Say by felisblanco
SPN, PG-13
Sam is turning fifteen and Dean is going to Hell. You know I've been looking for some more Weecest schmoop. This? Is not it. This is a flashback fic, posted over two years ago that is totally worth a revisit. felisblanco's stories have a way of twisting your heart around in just the right way. Making you ache at how life for the Winchesters is/was. Sam's desperate wanting to not be what John turning hiim - them - into and Dean's earnest attempts at being what everyone else needs him to be - makes you want to *whimper* at the angst of it all.


And just to offset the angst and Weecest...

In Restless Dreams I Walked Alone by roque_clasique
SPN, Gen, PG
Dean's mouth, and what it can't do. Just a little insight into Dean's character. This could easily be canon. It fits and it *feels* like it. Angsty and painful, a slightly broken Dean may just be the most hauntingly beautiful thing ever. Stories like this certainly make it seem that way.
~ short-ish

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!

Direct Hit by lazy_daze

I've read this before, but its just as hot the second time around. I don't care what canon says - This is Sam and Dean Winchester.


Dessertion by roque_clasique
SPN, Gen, PG
Dean and kids - There's a kid hidden in the Impala! So someone else just posted this as a rec and I can't remember who! But I want to thank them. This is a very sweet little gen Dean fic. The kind that makes your heart ache a little for Dean. The kind that kinda makes you want to hug him a little. The kind that makes you want to shake John and Sam for not realizes what an amazing person they've have their whole lives even when they treat him like dirt. The kind that make you want to read Daddy Dean fics! *sigh* Yeah, its just kinda sweet, ya know?


Happy Little Trees, or, The Bob Ross Fic by berrylicious877
J2 AU, NC-17
Jensen is unemployed and spends his days watching tv. He finds a show called Painting with Jared and becomes obsessed. I'm not sure what is more disturbing - the fact that someone wrote a Bob Ross J2 fic, the fact that someone wrote an NC-17 Bob Ross J2 fic, or the fact that I was strangely fascinated and now really want to hear Jared say 'oh some happy little trees over here' in an insane sort of way... *sigh* Yeah, its schmoopalicous, but as I said - strangely fascinating. LOL

A Loaded God Complex by gwendolyngrace
SPN, R
The demon-worshiping cult that John has been tracking chooses Sam’s Middle School as their target. But John doesn’t know that there’s already another investigator on the case. Medium crossover (but pre-series, so not necessary to know anything about Medium). Um ,wow. Ok, this is so far out my normal range. Its pre-series (Sam is 13). It really is a case fic. No sex, no schmoop, no nuthin' I usually read. Not even like adorable Bebe Sam or anything. Its a straight out action case-fic. With humans, not supernatural creature, no less. But man! Its pretty fucking amazing. It really vibrates with the feel of the show. I can *see* this John Winchester perfectly. I can really see this happening, it reads smooth and clean and carries the very essence of each of the characters. Fast paced and intense, I hung on to every word. I loved how Sam and Dean really can show their training, yet not be perfect and still make mistakes. I like how much effort the writer put into letting us understand how someone who was raised with the boys training could asses a situation and what they see that 'normal' people don't. I just was an all around really good gen read. Notice its got a R rating- again, this isn't for sex. (which is my usual MO) This would totally be a Red Dawn R rating.

Fade To Black (Not While Your Hand’s In Mine) by runedgirl
SPN, NC-17
The brother that Sam gets back isn’t the same, but Sam’s love is. Sam risks everything and leaves everyone he’s ever cared about behind in the desperate hope that the bond between him and Dean might just be strong enough to transcend what hell did to him.
DEVASTATINGLY GOOD. I don't know how else to describe it. Man, I'm just in shreds over this one. rivers_bend left a comment that you should read: These chapters are just perfectly where I was wanting this to go. You're balancing the wild out of control and the sharply in control brilliantly, with both of them, and it's just shivery-good. It feels like show, too, all delicious grey areas and nothing black and white.


Stick Together by maskedfangirl
SPN, G, Gen, Season 5 spoiler-ish
Castiel & Bradley the T-Mobile rep. Angels are the worst customers. This came out recently after a certain episode. I'm not sure how I missed getting it posted! Dude, its some hi-larious crack! And also makes me want to pet Castiel for his unknowing adorableness.


A Moment of Normalcy (In Our Life of Chaos) by felisblanco
SPN, Gen-ish or pre-slash, PG
It's junior prom and Sam's got a date. What the hell does he do now? I've posted about a part of this 'series' before, but I just read this part and its still just as lovely. Oh Dean. Their relationship is just so complex and layered. Even when Dean is being the best big brother he knows how to be, even when he's being a dad because theirs is MIA, the bond they have ..gah, this is so clichè, but true.. transcends that. You can feel the subtext in every beat of the story - they are simply more than brothers. Call it gen, call it pre-slash, I don't care. But you can deny the *something* there and it pulses right under the surface.

Shake Off the Ashes of Yesterday by leonidaslion
SPN, NC-17
Sam stayed in college, but Dean shows up at graduation and all those things they refuse to say to one another... they all get said. And done. This bleeds with Dean's uncertainty and weariness and Sam's vehement entreaty that Dean face this, face them makes you feel the deep wanting very clearly. The last line wraps up beautifully exactly who and what Sam and Dean have, who they are to each other.

Sumpin' Sweet by vamphile
SPN, G, gen
Wee Dean is Sick, Sammy does something nice for him. You know my favorite books are always the ones that are in layers - where you can read it and take it at face value and enjoy it or you can think deeper and get even more out of it, maybe even something really different. For all that this is a tiny tiny little thing - like a drabble - it has that. On top it is adorably sweet. I just want to *smoosh* bebe Sammy and Wee Dean. But for me, I see some real depth in the subtext. Dean's sick and where is John? Also, the last line has a world of meaning for me.
Needless to say, I really enjoyed this tiny morsel.

Sun Storm by magicletters
SPN, Gen, PG-13
Five times Sam was Dean’s voice, and one time he wasn’t. This is really very lovely. Dean is deaf, has been his whole life. Sam speaks for him. John's a little more brutal in this world than I really see him as, but it fits perfectly here. The connection, the loyalty and love between the boys is beautiful. The writing is minimalistic, but still very descriptive. I love how although Dean is still the big brother and takes care of Sam, in this world Sam's been taking care of Dean too. It makes me wonder if this Sam wouldn't gone off to college. I don't think so. I don't think he would leave Dean, but I'm not the writer and that part isn't in there. Truly precious read.

The request was for loolookitty, who wanted SPN, Sam/Dean Bonded Boys/UST, lot of sexual tension, build up, wanting, requited Well if this isn't a knotted up little ball of angst... a stinging little pinch of yearning and desire to spice up my morning. Nice, I like it! Now, if only John really had made the boys perform a ritual like this...

...With Benefits by jellybean_slash
SPN, PG-13
High school sweethearts sometimes choose to mark the occasion when their relationship becomes monogamous, officially -- often referred to as 'going steady.' Despite their... unique circumstances, Sam and Dean don't wind up being all that different. You haveNo idea how intensely happy this fic makes me. One of the things that I crave crave crave crave is 'dating' fics.

In all my fandoms I just get madly excited about the thought of some non-canon couple 'dating' or doing 'dating' things while still in the context of their canon relationship. I loved Spike being Buffy's highschool boyfriend even though he was an evil old vampire. I adored Draco and Harry walking to class holding hands while arguing over quidditch with Ron and Greg. To have Sam and Dean still 'be' brothers (not just by having it stated, but by feelings and thoughts as this fic does) and yet bring in the actions and notions of 'dating' - I am verklempt with SQUEE. Sure, there are massive amounts of fics (great fics) that have them in some deep physical/emotional relationship, but this is 'dating'!!! This is BEING BOYFRIENDS. I just..I can't even explain what this does to me. I think - no, I KNOW this is why J2 appeals to me so much. Its almost all about dating in those stories. And I LOVE IT.

Gah, so that is my (not so) dirty little (not)secret: I love vanilla dating fics. Its my ultimate kink. Call me a Wild Child.

Anyway, this is short (would love to see MORE), but it hits my biggest squee factor in that it walks a great balance between teenage Sam & Dean being brothers and being boyfriends. And its got adorkable awkward Dean, which is even more of WIN.

*hugs fandom*

You And Me Baby...Ain't Nothing But Mammals by bimosexual

Sam has an affinity for animals, always wanted a pet. But Dean's sudden One Man Menagerie...wasn't exactly what he'd had in mind Charmingly funny! With adorable sweetness dashed on top.


In the Beached Margin of the Sea by rivers_bend
SPN, NC-17
Sam and Dean black out on a hunt, and when they wake up, Dean's having visions and Sam can't get new, strange feelings out of his head. When John finds out about the side effects, he'll do anything to get rid of the "curse". But Sam and Dean don't want to go back to the way things were before. This, of course, sent me into *FLAIL* after about 2 paragraphs. Ahh, so good. Sam and Dean and their angst and usting and devotion are awesome, but what really squeezed by heart tight was John. Such amazing job with John's character here. And, of course, 'John Knows' is one of my all-time favorite kinks.

Remember When You Had My Name Scratched On Your Heart by verbalavalanche
SPN AU, Hard R
It goes in this order: Sam, Mom, Dad, God. *deepbreath* Damn, this fucking about killed me. So heartbreaking. Beautiful and poetic, but so very painful and heart wrenching. And what sucks is that you finally figure out that Dean is choosing this path for himself, denying himself his heart. The tiny flashback to little Dean with Mary just about cracked my heart in two.


We Can Make Origami With the Kids For a while by wanttobeatree
J2, PG
In which Chad has kids and they need babysitting. As this author says: Here is a slice of ridiculous schmoopy plotless kidfic. CMM's children may be the most awesome kids ever - adorable little terrors! A fun, cute read. And I adore the massive use of 'boyfriends'. (And LOLOL - the part about united cooties!!!!!!)


Can't (But I Can) and I Hear Your Hand and Too Late by mishaphappens
SPN, PG, Gen (or pre-slash if you want, :D)
Sam has to work harder, harder than everybody else, because they can retain a hundred percent of their surroundings. Sam receives only eighty percent. You’re working with four out of five senses, John always tells him. Four out of five. Those are Sam’s numbers, the definition of his being, the handicap that describes who he is, the only thing he’s ever going to be. Beautiful and very well done story. Somewhat haunting and broken, but yet also not... Just a story about a family and their lives, the good and the bad. I love that Dean and Sam are just as close in this world as in canon - that they 'talk' so much. I love that they fight like any other brothers, but still love with that special Winchester fierceness. The last one makes you hate and pity John at the same time. Yet you know John wouldn't be so fucked up if he didn't love so very intensely. Just like his boys.



All We Ask by theyscreamofyou
SPN AU, R
When you were five, you met your father for the first time. This is not in a style I usually care for. Its stark with almost no dialog. But its very well down - there is a stillness to it, like a lake of deep pain that is so full but still and quiet on the surface. Its sad, but with a hopeful ending. It makes you stop and think and visualize what Dean is perceiving, all the while telling you exactly how it is in a detached sort of feel.



Centuries of Stony Sleep Were Vexed To Nightmare by britomart_is
SPN, NC-17
Morally-ambiguous!Winchesters, apocalypse, consensual sex with severe power imbalance. The Antichrist needs an heir. Ok so this also really isn't my usual style of fic. I am not a big fan of Evil!Sam or Sam as the 'antichrist'. (In fic, lets not talk about the show, k?) And although the sex is technically 'het', it really is Sam/Dean Wincest.
However, I don't want to sound like I didn't like it. britomart_is is a talented writer and made a plot I wouldn't normally care for a good read. Quality writing is kind of awesome like that. And if you do happen to like Evil!Sam then you really will love this.

Donuts and Deutschland by malcolm_stjay
SPN, NC-17
Sam’s having trouble with homework, so Dean helps him out. Things get a bit out of hand. Holy fuck. I might have had much better grades in school , (and to steal borrow the title from another amazing fic), but then my homework was never quite like this! LOL. Srsly, Sammy had the fucking (pun intended) champion of tutors.


malcolm_stjay also wrote Sub Rosa which is a Sam/Dean retelling of Beauty & the Beast. It is just too cute. At first you think it really doesn't read like Sam and Dean - then the Beast opens his mouth and he is so very *Dean*. Pie is awesome. It was cute and sweet and an interesting setting for the Winchester (not)brothers. So although its Sam/Dean it isn't Wincest as they aren't related. PG


Make My Head Spin by no_apologies_86
SPN, R
Dean gets Sam high and likes the effect is has on his brother. It feels like a snippet in the middle of an amazing epic story - 'how they got there' and 'what comes next' scenes are just flickering through my head like crazy. A seriously hot slow burn.


Schemes (Are Not Just for Melodramatic Bond Villians) by atimi
J2 AU, NC-17
While broadening his gay horizons, architect!Jared meets waiter!Jensen at a strip club. Jensen is shy, Jared is smitten, and Jeff is a smarmy bastard. A light hearted romcom with just enough angst to keep it from being over the top schmoop. The image of Jensen in this story is of luminous, fragile beauty which is so very alluring. But the real joy of this story is Jared's inner voice - it is cracktastically hilarious. I LOLed quite a few times.


Terraform by gilascave
J2 AU, R
Jensen works for the Terraformation Department, monitoring a planet almost ready for settlement. Jared is a bartender new to the station, who decides to make Jensen his own personal project. Will he succeed, or is Jared hiding a more sinister purpose? And with Jensen's own secrets to hide, will it ultimately matter? This was rec'd (by someone else) over at crack_impala and OMG! they were so right - "what's not to love"?! Its so cute and unique. Its so very AU, with robots and living on a spacecraft, but it is also so very much 'in-character'. A total WIN for this fic.

Eyes Wide Open by teand
SPN, hard R, Season 4 spoilers
Direct sequel to 4.22 LUCIFER RISING So I'm going for a theme here. Sam/Dean stories that are realistic enough to show how they could be together. Or at least that is what it feels like. I so want to shout: Get over it Kripke, make this canon! Fangirls the world over would melt with happiness. The voices are so very much 'Sam' and 'Dean'. It feels like it could be a natural conclusion. Hell, even John reads as 'John' - great tone on him.


Whispered Words and Secret Smiles by bassair
SPN, NC-17, Season 4 minor spoilers
From the moment Mary dies, Dean and Sam are close. Closer than usual brothers, really. This is their story. *This is their story.* Yes, absolutely. This is how it could/should have and probably did go for Sam and Dean growing up. Its heartbreaking and beautiful. A flawless history that we so know the boys had to have had. If you've ever wanted a story to show how you Sam and Dean could be together, how they could become SamandDean, this is it. Its a simple story of two boys, of a family, and how they love each other. I put this up over at crack_impala a while back, but I just re-read it and wanted to include it here as well.


Of Hot Showers and Female Intuitions by cyndrarae
SPN, NC-17
Sam‘s journey through teenage angst and sexual experimentation leads him to an irrefutable truth… he loves his big brother more than he should. Long, intense and *hot*. Some of the images are so wickedly sinfully *dirty* - teenaged Sam falling asleep with Dean's thumb in his mouth and fingers up his ... yeah, wrong wrong wrong, but oh so yes yes yes. Also, the last bit with John? *moans* Anyone who knows my posts knows I adore what this insinuated!

And don't forget the sequel Of Fears and Nightmares, which while written first is really just a continuation of the same story.

I Remember Maine by kimberleyqaf
SPN, Season 4 AU, NC-17
Dean and Sam are helping Bobby on a case when Dean learns that his brother has been hiding things from him, things that could ultimately tear them apart. In the aftermath, an even bigger secret is revealed, one that neither of them realized they’d been sharing. With Kripke's love of the 'bromance' maybe we would have seen something more along these lines in season 4 if the show was on HBO instead of the CW...yeah, ok, probably not, but I like to think.. lol, Anyway, this is fun 'little' big bang read. Implausible and all that, but sweet and schmoopy - which I usually associate with J2 fics, so its nice to read a Sam/Dean one for a change.


Stuck on the Sidelines by gottalovev
SPN, pre-series, NC-17
The one where Dean is stuck home with a broken leg and Sam acts kind of weird. Most of this seems like something that could have really happened - Dean getting hurt on a hunt, the easy banter between the boys, John getting cagey stuck in one place -all that. And the hot sex - probably *didn't* happen, but it totally should have! LOL.


The Green River County Detention Center Experiment (Being Wrong Is A Bitch) by causeways
SPN, NC-17, Folsom Prison Blues AU
If Dean were to admit that he needed to be Sam's bitch under any other circumstances in the world, it would probably make Sam's life. But oddly enough, Sam's not really feeling like laughing right now.

More Glory To Their Eyes Than Blood by fryadvocate
Sam/Dean, SPN AU
After everything ends, who is left? Post-apocalypse fic. A true apocalypse styled-fic. The world is eerie and mysterious, a dangerous place to be. The writing is vivid and contrastingly stark, leaving the reader a bit like Dean - feeling like the dark edges of reality are pressing in and about to swallow you whole.


Bubbles by dreamlittleyo
SPN, pre-series, Gen
The kind that kids blow on nice days. Weechesters with a day off, with some Papa Winchester thrown in.
I totally almost blubbered at the sweetness of this. Wee Sammy is just too cute. And the love - oh John. And in case you missed it - a gen fic.


Never My Intention by killabeez
SPN, post-series, Sam/Dean
Two days after the world didn't end, Sam and Dean did -- not with a bang, but with a whimper. There is a tenderness that flows between this still slightly broken Dean and finally healed Sam that sooths the fierce coils they are wrapped up in. A painfully gorgeous fic. EDIT: The link has been changed to Killa's website. You don't have to Friend to read there.


Sell Your Baseball Cards to Pay the Rent by whereupon
SPN, R
Seriously, this is the best thing that's happened all week. This has a great dark and heavy atmosphere to it. (Not darkfic) You know that hazy, heavy saturated feel you get on a hot night in the Deep South? Like that. There is an almost visceral feel to it, in a heart-pumping edgy tension way. (Again, not the darkfic bloody way.) The writing just flows and ebbs in a perfect pounding force. And the boys - unable to complete sentences and thoughts at the end.. Fuck yeah was my immediate reaction.


I Feel Flames Again by fleshflutter
Sam/Dean, R, post-series
Following a failed apocalypse, Dean nurses Sam through his addiction to demon's blood, which has driven Sam to horrific things. Fucking heart-wrenching and brutal on the emotions, Dean and Sam's devotion shine through even as they fight themselves and each other on this path of healing.


A Life Redirected by Dawn N
SPN AU, gen
A family tragedy during a hunt redirects the lives of the Winchester's in a way they could have never predicted. Yes, its gen. Even has het off to the side later on. So this fic isn't perfect. It has its stylistic and writing flaws. However, you know those stories that if you analyze and take them apart you find fault, but taken as a whole there is something very interesting and appealing about them? Where some parts are so great you love it all? This, for me, was one of those. There is something about a damaged Sam, about John learning how to be a real father, about Dean getting a golden life that is just so appealing.
