Supernatural Fic Recs

[Lola m]

I know you've been reading them - time to pimp your favorite Supernatural fics!

[Julia, wrought iron-y]

My friends list once again leads me astray: Elemental V writes Deal/Castiel first time, in s5: Oath is R, and uproariously funny. Castiel POV of the aftermath of the infamous trip to the brothel, trying to explain to Dean while it will neverwork, and then...something does.

Tara is a grand writer who has written in Due South, Buffy, and SGA, among other things.

Julia, I can't watch SPN but the fandom leaks spoilers all over the place.

LJ's savingfaith333 just finished up an awesome and seriously angsty SPN/SGA crossover fic: Solitary Man.

It's slash, Dean/Sheppard. And I'm not kidding--very dark and angsty, but if you can handle that, I highly recommend it.

She also wrote another SPN/SGA crossover fic: What Happens in Vegas that is EPICALLY awesome.

It's slash, Dean/Castiel and McShep. And nowhere near as dark as Solitary Man, but still has its dark moments.

And she has lots other great fics on her LJ, some of which I still have yet to read. She is a solid, dependable, wonderful writer, and she writes HOT PRON, for serious.

Alrighty, here we go (oh, and FYI, most of everything I'm reccing is NC-17 and Dean/Castiel, 'cause that's how I roll ;D ):

• Everything by LJ's thevinegarworks. I haven't read everything she's written (still can't bring myself to read Wincest), but what I have read of hers is BRILLIANT. Her stories read almost like poetry . . . so lyrical and rich. Her one-shot Our Bleeding Hearts would be a good place to start, if you don't want to jump into one of her epic, many-chaptered fics. I've been her beta for each chapter of her current fic, but that doesn't mean I'm being biased. I have been and would still be one of her biggest fangirls even if I wasn't beta-ing.
  
  
  
• Crave, by fandomatemylife. Hot, desperate little one-shot.
  
  
  
• Circumference, by thenyxie
  
  
  
• They Watch, by olympia_m
  
  
  
• Qui Custos es Mei, by vichan
  
  
  
• I Love the Bones of You, by fleshflutter
  
  
  
• Apocrypha, by trinityofone
  
  
  
• Absolution, by the LJ community of holy_hands. I believe there's a few different writers for this, and it's a many-chaptered fic, with a sequel (Kin) that I still haven't finished reading yet.
  
  
  
• There are many many wonderful stories by pandarus on LJ, for many fandoms. Go there and I'm sure you'll find something of hers that you'll love.
  
  

Oy. And this is only a fraction of what I have bookmarked. More to come . . . . .

The funniest and sweetest and crackiest yet still remarkably in-character SPN fic I've read:

The Fourth Wall Series, by LJ's entangled_now

It's an on-going series which first starts with Dean discovering Sam reading Dean/Cas fanfic on the interwebz, they have to try to explain fanfic and the internet to Cas, then have to deal with a fanfic-addicted angel, and she seems to be slowly leading up to some actual Dean/Cas and Sam/Lucifer stuff. Oh yeah, Lucifer is trying to seduce Sam in his dreams. But it's funny! ;D I highly, HIGHLY recommend this series. It makes me giggle and smile and love my show.

Thursday's Child, by LJ's strangeandcharm

Author's notes:

Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 114,000 (total); this part 13,720
Summary: Thursday’s child has far to go.
Notes: Spoilers for 5.04, 'The End'. So I got to wondering: what would have happened if past!Dean hadn’t turned up in 2014, and future!Dean had actually succeeded in killing Lucifer with the Colt? Apparently, it involves lots of angsting. Who knew?
Warnings: This is future!Castiel, so be prepared for Castiel/OFCs, drug use and alcohol abuse (hey, it’s all canon!). In addition there’s the odd bit of violence, some whump, muchas porning and very brief implied non-con (nothing graphic at all). Please be warned if you don’t like death!fics that this story is set after Dean had to kill Lucifer!Sam, so clearly there’s (a) no Sam and (b) some mourning. On the bright side, though, there's also a guest appearance from a real-life Hollywood star! (Well, sort of.)


Hoo boy, is this a FANTASTIC story. Just, wow. So much angst, and our favorite angel goes through so much badness, but it is all epic and so well-written and so in-character. It's a saga, so be prepared to settle in for a long ride because I almost couldn't make myself stop reading it once I started.
