- Author rec: Stele3 Compelling writing. I'm not always inclined to read the hurty stuff but Stele3 has a positive gift for capturing aspects of Sam and Dean's characters that rings so true that I can't look away. The way the Winchesters relate in these stories draw me in and leave me holding my breath. It's not all pain either, there is some wonderful humour in here. I'm not sure I could even pick out an absolute favourite.
The 1300 Days, (Gen, R) follows Dean through four years without Sam. Poignant and real.
Untitled, (Gen PG-13) Sam resurrects Dean after he dies and learns a hell of a lot about their relationship. Painful and amazing.
In The Company of Demons, (Het, NC-17) the boys end up in a twisted relationship with an incubus who needs them to survive. The bit that grabs me is how Stele2 draws out Dean and Sam's relationship and Dean's need for family and Sam's (fraternal) love.
The World's a Small Child in the Dark, (Wincest, NC-17) a post 2x22 story in which Dean has pages of things he wants to do but Sam has only one.
The Epic Love Story of Sam and Dean, (Wincest, NC-17) a romance Winchester style, has some of the best 'internal Dean' in existence.
The Amazing, Incredible Adventures of Freakboy and Dykegirl (Gen, NC-17, 87,200 words so far and a WIP), has one of the best OFCs ever plus humour, angst, and Dean being himself so hard it hurts. Read In the Company of Demons first for the full impact - not required though.

"Sometimes there's more said in the dark and the spaces between words than is actually spoken." - Code of the Boys by Dodger-winslow (John, Dean) R

1,545. A day in the life of teen aged Winchesters. Sam is mildly bratty and rather pissed off. Dean is hungry and guilty.
