Retro-perspective 3/12 - What were people writing exactly two years ago?
Gen (1) Slash (4)
Gen
  1. Back Road Adventure by Halfshellvenus (Sam, Dean) PG
    4,817. Charming banterfic. Sam and Dean versus an unknown grave-robber.
    Sometimes on nights like this Sam’s irritation gets the better of him. He finds himself skipping off into the familiar playground of What Would Wake Dean And What Would Not.
    He likes this game, and yes, he does occasionally test out his experiments. His favorite area of deliberation involves how Dean will react to different answers to the question “What’re you doing?”, which Dean mumbles with regularity every time Sam moves or makes a noise in his sleep.
Slash
  1. Watching Over by Goddessleila aka Sorrel (Sam/Dean) R
    4,275. Dean is always watching Sam. Always.
    “He wants Dean to not be so close. He wants Dean to take it back. He wants his big brother to make everything all better again, and that’s probably the most fucked up thing here.”
    Supernatural Slash Sam/Dean Wincest First-time Goddessleila Sorrel 2005_12 Rating:R
  2. Welcome to Memphis by Maygra (Sam/Dean) R
    6,644. Coda to False Comforts. Dark fiction with violence and disturbing themes, love too.
  3. Opportunistic Lover by Joyfulgirl41 (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    6,054. Genderfuck porn. Girl!Sam
    "You want to tell me what the hell happened back there, Sam?" Dean asked angrily. Sam frowned. "One of my earplugs fell out. It's not like I did it intentionally."
  4. Turn The Page by Apetslife (Sam/Dean) PG-13
    1,878. Sam reflects on how Dean always manages to be cheerful about the job. Silly and fun.
    "When I asked about the guns, I kinda thought you'd say 'hey, Sam, let me show you the Winchester family stash,'" Sam pants, trying to keep the stack of rifles in his arms from sliding and falling everywhere as they hustle back to the car, "not 'Sam, we're gonna go visit the trolls.'"

oh thanks for these recs. I love going back and discovering new fic, and rediscovering old favs. It's also interesting to see how the focus of fic, and the characterizations have, and haven't changed.

Yeah, I like looking back and seeing how we saw them back when we had 10 episodes or less to go on.

I'd like to friend you if that's okay. Here's why: 1) I almost invariably like everything you rec on the spnnewsletter (see, this comment is not entirely irrelevant!), 2) glancing at your profile and a few recent entries in your journal, I love your brand of humor, and 3) you listed Modesty Blaise in your interests--I thought maybe my brother and I were the only people in the world who ever heard of (or remembered) Modesty Blaise (okay, here's a thought--Sam Winchester... I, Lucifer!). We don't have everything in common. Clearly I heart parentheses over the apostrophe! I write a little, don't post a lot otherwise, but comment a lot (and usually at length). No obligation to friend back. I prefer not to friend without asking, so....

Hiya, feel free to friend me and thank you for the compliments. I can't promise to do anything startlingly interesting but it does warm my heart to hear you like the recs - yay! I tend to get to know people a bit before I friend them if I don't already know them in real life but please don't let that make you feel unwelcome.

Modesty Blaise - man, Sam would have fitted into I, Lucifer scarily well. It turns out my housemate [livejournal.com profile] maharetr has almost all the books! They are now unpacked and I am going to read them all now I have some spare time.

Thanks so much for reccing "Back Road Adventure," which was my first SPN chapterFic. I still don't write it that often, even now!

I love the Goddessleila story that you mentioned, as well as the one by maygra. And what a fascinating idea for a list-- a retrospective of things written back when the show and the fandom were new. ♥

It's an absolute pleasure. This is a great opportunity to go back and rec things I read and bookmarked ages ago before I got bullied into doing a regular rec post.
