Supernatural Gen, Het and Slash recs from May 2006

October 2005 November 2005 December 2005 January 2006 February 2006 March 2006 April 2006 May 2006 June 2006 July 2006 August 2006 September2006
Retro-perspective 8/12 - What were people writing exactly two years ago?
Season 1 had just finished and everyone was going 'Oh no! They've killed the Impala Sam/Dean/John!'
Het (2) Gen (18) Slash (16)

Het
  1. I Lost You (But I Found Country Music) by Minervacat (Dean/Everyone) NC-17
    9,000. Five people Dean Winchester fucked in, on, or near the Impala, and five conversations he had with his little brother.
    "Jeez, you're no fun at all," Dean said. "Send me a postcard when you finally get some, why don't you?"
    Two years later, Dean wasn't actually speaking to Sammy when the postcard arrived, care of General Delivery in Gulfport, Mississippi, via post offices in El Paso and Tucumcari. It had a Palo Alto postmark, and a picture of a flawless green campus sprawl on the front. The back said, "Finally got some."
  2. With A Poodle Under One Arm, And A Two-Foot Salami Under The Other by Trollprincess (Sam/Dean/OFC) NC-17
    2,455. Utter, utter crack. Bad language, incest, genderswap, bodyswap, threesome (It's called "overkill." Heh.) So two guys and a girl walk into a bar.
Gen
  1. Reverb by Lyra-wing (Sam, Dean) R
    4,341. Sam and Dean end up a little closer then they would like; a great way to showcase their dynamic.
    "Yeah," says Dean. He rubs a hand over his face and offers a smile. "Hey, I'll buy." Technically, Dean always buys, because their money comes from Dean's hustling and scamming, but Sam grins.
  2. Born in Fire by Trolllogicfics (Sam, Dean) PG-13
    1,304. Speculative mood piece.
    The demon has taken away everything and even as it lies there, trapped and beaten, it’s looking to take just a little bit more...
  3. On A Steel Horse by Trollprincess (John) PG-13
    1056. Post Devil's Trap. Deathfic. With a twist. Just read it.
  4. It's Not Hiding If Everyone Knows Where You Are by Trollprincess (Sam, Dean) R
    10,000. Zombie apocalypse!
    Two days ago, they celebrated the end of April by heading out to the porch with a pair of high-powered sniper rifles and counting off how many of the rambling bodies circling the perimeter outside the fence they could decapitate with a single shot.
  5. Sweetwater by Tremblings (Sam, Dean) PG
    3,590. The boys battle in Texas toxic waste and Dean likes burning things.
    “Shut up," Sam says, and knees him in the groin because he is a disgrace and a stain on the Winchester name, and because Dean taught him to fight dirty.
  6. Raise A Glass by Trollprincess (Dean/OFCs) R
    1250. Just read it, then go cry.
  7. Never Summer by Ignipes (Sam, Dean) R
    52,816. A call from one of Sam's college friends brings the boys to a remote Colorado hotel in the midst of a blizzard to investigate a death and a haunting.
  8. Books of the Living, Books of the Dead by Poistonaster (Sam, Dean, Jess) G
    1100. The series ends up being Sam/Dean but this particular series of linked drabbles can be read as a stand alone and is Gen. Dean has an ability too. Sweet.
  9. Of Bastard Saints by Beanside & Nilchance (Sam, Dean, John) R
    102,706. Epic monster battling fic with Amnesiac!Dean. A little buffy-esque at the end but you've always wanted to see Dean a) battle a dragon and b) capture a demon using a vacuum cleaner - you just didn't know it.
    It was never good to see that smile, Sam thought. It was worse, he realized, when you weren't sure where the hell you were.
  10. Top Thirty Dean Winchester Facts by Madam_rosmerta
    674. Funny! Dean Winchester facts a la Chuck Norris.
  11. Before You Come in Here With Some Kinda Attitude, You Better Read the House Rules by Ignipes (Sam, Dean) PG-13
    2,167. Sam waking up with a hangover and Dean unable to not be the big brother that he is.
    Dean, being the caring and responsible older brother that he is, took Sam out drinking for the first time. It was the best night ever, or maybe the worst, depending on which of them you ask.
  12. While You Were Gone by _seraphina_ (Sam, Dean, Coffee) G
    640. Dean drinks his coffee black, straight up. Except when Sam isn't there.
  13. Dean Winchester's Guide to Hitch-hiking by Audrarose (Dean) R
    1840 Dean knows how to hitch a ride.
  14. Parts of Speech by Mona1347 (Dean) PG
    2,854. When Sammy left, Dean had to learn all the ways to speak again.
  15. There'll be peace when you are done by Lyra-wing (Sam, Dean) PG-13
    1,896. Dean never opens his fortune cookies.
  16. Never, Not Once by Estrella30 (Sam) PG
    2,100. Sam gets to Stanford on a Tuesday. He hikes his duffel bag onto his shoulder, climbs the outside steps in the bright, California sun, and finds his dorm room all the way at the end of the hall. He never once thinks about the fight.
  17. Don't Look Back by Eloise_bright (Dean, John) PG-13
    700. Post Devil's Trap. Poignant, beautiful, not what you expect and sad. Deathfic.
  18. On the banks of the Tiber by Angstslashhope (Sam, Dean) R
    5,454. I would recommend reading Field of Mars first even though it is the sequel.
    “A hellhound.” He laughs softly, the noise completely lacking humour; a place-holder for something else. “Totally sideswiped you, didn’t even see it coming.”
Slash
  1. Illegal in fifty states by Fatale (Sam/Dean) R
    1,823. Dean working off distress on Sam and Sam letting him.
    Dean's angry and reckless this evening, doesn’t know why. Rather he does, just doesn’t care to look too closely.
  2. Devil's in the Details by Fatale (Mostly Sam/Dean) NC17
    5,199. Follows Illegal in fifty states.
    “Right, you know, except when she’s all sucking up human flesh through her freakishly long tongue.” Sam shoots Dean a disapproving look, like Dean shouldn't dwell on it, but it's all Dean can dwell on.
  3. Living in the green by Fatale (Sam/Dean) PG13
    1.350. Follows Illegal in fifty states and Devil's in the Details.
    A Dean that's not flirting with every set of breasts they come across is a seriously fucked up Dean.
  4. I Lost You (But I Found Country Music) by Minervacat (Dean/Everyone) NC-17
    9,000. Mass crossover fest and the conversations with Sam are completely worthwhile.
    Five people Dean Winchester fucked in, on, or near the Impala, and five conversations he had with his little brother.
  5. Why Supernatural is Super Awesome by Moonythestrals G
    Stick art. Hilarious. Source of Sam's giant ball of Angst
  6. The Vagaries of Disbelief by Sevenfists (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    23,000. AU after Provenance. Sam disappears and Dean starts having dreams.
  7. With A Poodle Under One Arm, And A Two-Foot Salami Under The Other by Trollprincess (Sam/Dean/OFC) NC-17
    2,455. Utter, utter crack. Bad language, incest, genderswap, bodyswap, threesome (It's called "overkill." Heh.) So two guys and a girl walk into a bar.
  8. Untitled by Whereupon (Sam/Dean) G
    476. Unspeakably heroic.
    Together, they're the stuff of legend. And the thing is, they're just beginning.
  9. Books of the Living, Books of the Dead by Poistonaster (Sam/Dean, Jess) G
    1100. The series ends up being Sam/Dean but this particular series of linked drabbles is Gen.
    Dean has an ability too. Sweet.

  10. Still more damn fic by Meadowmines (Sam/Dean) PG
    1,681. Dean's nightmare from Sam POV, companion piece. Still schmooptastic
  11. About To Get Too Far Gone by Trollprincess (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    1,042. Sam does some musing.
    Logically, the only person on the planet Sam should be fucking is Dean.
  12. And we are here as on a darkling plain by Lyra-wing (Sam/Dean) R
    3,512. A Satanist's spell gives Dean angelic powers and Sam demonic powers for one month.
    "You have something you wanna share with the class, Damien?"
    Sam picks up a red leather-bound book. "Ssshut up. I'm not evil."
    "That's just what an evil Sam would say!" Dean points at his brother in mock-horror.
  13. And The First Two Don't Count by Ladyjanelly (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    5,360. “We know how to track harpies?” Dean asks. “Not really,” Sam says. “Awesome,” says Dean.
  14. The Flow Of Darkness by Halfshellvenus (Sam/Dean) R
    5,581. The language in this is so evocative, intimate and lyrical. It just washes over you Sam’s dreams and an investigation coincide in Michigan, where new revelations await both brothers.
    There is a faint scent of ashes in Dean’s hair, and it is the smell of everything Sam has ever sacrificed or loved.
  15. Highway Survivalists' Roadmap by Drvsilla (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    4,428. Road fic. Has a lovely timeless quality to it.
    Sam huffs and finally allows himself to read the green mile-marker sign.
  16. Conversations by Aetheruk (Sam/Dean) NC-17
    14,088 AU and OOC Smart!Dean fic - I can't helping loving him.
    What Dean shows you of himself is just that, what he wants you to see. Sam isn’t the only one who could have scored a free ride to college, Dean just chose not to leave the fight.

bwee, thanks for the rec! I can't believe it's been TWO YEARS since I wrote that story :0

Interesting that you recommend reading Field of Mars first! That's the order you read them in, right?

And it's still heartbreaking.

The order - it's a hard choice. [livejournal.com profile] maharetr made me read them in that order and what I lost in surprise in Tiber, I gained in suspense in Mars. I also gained a lot of sympathy for Sam in Tiber because I knew what he was doing. Does that make sense?

Yep, it does. I just went back and re-read them myself (wow, it has been a long time) and I can totally see how FoM would work coming first.

Also weird to read them (esp the first one) after seeing the end of season 3, heh.

I liked it in that order but I think either works.

S3 - Having them trotting off into the sunset together would be awesome about now.
