    OTHER SLASH

    Sins of the Flesh
    [info]entangled_now | Dean/Castiel | R | 5.03 coda
    Dean had taught him how to kiss like he meant it, and he didn't regret that, not one bit.
    This absolutely took my breath away. Gorgeous, the desperation and the wonderful use of negative space, telling us so much in what Dean denies and what he doesn't say.

    Halosexual
    [info]pagiel | Dean/Castiel | R | halo kink
    Dean accidentally discovers that not only does Cas have a halo, it's a solid part of him, and he likes having it rubbed, with orgasmic results.
    Hilarious and brilliant. Uncomfortable Sam is almost as fun to read as Dean and Castiel's reactions.

    The Last Five Years
    [info]jenniferlupin | Dean/Castiel | R | 5.04 coda
    It's a long five years and things change.
    An achingly beautiful look at how Dean and Castiel's relationship evolved over the years. Bittersweet until the end.

    This Will Not Be Going Away
    [info]akintay | NC-17 | None
    Jared breaks his arm, and Jensen is there to walk the dogs, tie Jared's shoelaces, and make sure he takes his painkillers, while the line between occasionally sleeping with your best friend and being in love with your best friend is starting to blur.
    This is friendship and love at its best, beautiful and warm, and lovely.


    Sexile (and Other Hazards of Dorm Life)
    [info]wraith816 | PG-13 | College AU
    Jensen really wishes he'd stop making a fool of himself in front of the hot guy who sleeps in the common room.
    I wasn't sure who to feel sorrier for in this: Jensen, who keeps making a fool of himself, or Jared, who seems to be permanently sexiled to the common area. But it's fun, and funny, and really sweet.


    Tomorrow The Green Grass
    [info]maerhys | NC-17 | AU, consensual underage sexual acts, cursing/profanity, graphic m/m sex
    Arts High School AU. Jared and Jensen deal with growing up and life with a little help from their friends.
    This is gorgeous, simply put. The characterization, writing style, the overwhelming sense of destiny and meant-to-be in this story are all amazing.


    TKO
    [info]vamphile | R | AU, General Warning, sad and angsty in places, D/s themes but by no means a porn fic.
    Jensen is an ex-con with a clean slate. Jared owns an MMA gym. They like each other, a lot.
    This is a wonderful, engrossing, sweet story with incredibly well-drawn charactizations.


    Into The So Unknown
    [info]_mournthewicked | R | AU
    It may be a little cliché, lonely little rich boy running away to try and find himself on the back roads of America, but that’s what it is.
    If you weren't already a hopeless romantic believing in soulmates and destiny before reading this heart-warming fic, you'll definitely be after.

    Monday - Gen
    Untitled Star Trek XI Crossover
    [info]gladdecease | G | crossover with, and spoilers for, Star Trek XI, mentions of Sam/Uhura
    From the "Kripke Started It" Changing Channels Free-For-All. Sam and Dean get stuck in the Star Trek Reboot universe.
    Hilarious, brilliant and beautifully done. Every once in awhile a fic will just knock you flat with how awesome it is. This is one of those fics.

    How Becky Totally Saved the World or: PLEASE R&R OR I'LL NEVER WRITE ANOTHER CHAPTER
    [info]girl_wonder | unrated [PG-13 to be safe] | Season 5 Spoilers, mentioned Chuck/Becky, mentioned fictional Sam/Dean
    The upside of living with a prophet was the fanfic. And the forewarning of the apocalypse. But, mostly the fic.
    This fic is the best flavor of crazy. Brilliantly written, hilariously executed, and so thoroughly believable. It could totally go down like this.

    Untitled Holiday Fic
    [info]longsufferingly | Unrated | Pre-series
    Teenage Sam & Dean make the best of spending Christmas in a motel room.
    Sweet, gorgeous and touchingly genuine. This fic is completely adorable, and will leave you smiling.

    Asterisms
    [info]roque_clasique | PG-13 | 5x04 AU
    Let's just say, Past Dean's still in the future, Lucifer didn't kill Dean, and Dean is still trying to chase down Lucifer.
    This piece twists and turns Dean by, literally, forcing him to face himself. Simply fascinating work.

    Sunday - Sam/Dean Porn
    How I Wish It Would Rain (Down On Me)
    [info]veronamay | R
    It's the wet season, but it hasn't rained here in weeks.
    This is amazing - the author conveys an exquisite atomsphere of heat and want and the payoff is scorching.

    Will I Look Back and Say
    [info]rivers_bend | NC-17
    Dean's never been to a college party, but he never imagined they would be like this one.
    Utterly incendiary, and beautifully crafted. I love how this fic starts somewhere so wistful and melancholy and then takes the reader so believably to an encounter that's wonderfully hot and sweet.

    But What a Lovely Way to Burn
    [info]lazy_daze | NC-17
    Fuck-or-die fic written for [info]salt_burn_porn, written to the prompt: "ice cubes".
    This fic is so hot it will set you on fire. No, seriously. It's frantic and intense and so immediate it had my pulse racing.
    7:46 pm
    Saturday: Blast From the Past
    Hi everyone, we hope you enjoy these recs!

    J2

    My Social Skills Would Fit Good in Prison
    [info]poor_choices JA/JP | R | AU
    From what Jared understands, his college rooming situation is kind of like The Odd Couple, except for the way Jensen is a homophobic douchebag. A remix of [info]yourperiphery's "Domestic Bliss and Other Oxymorons."
    College boys, clueless flirting, slutty Jensen and adorkable Jared all written inchash's amazing (and hilarious) style - what is there not to love about this fic?

    The Shortest Distance
    [info]estrella30 JA/JP | Adult
    Remix of "From Point A to Point B" by [info]light_up.
    A simple story of friendship that leads to more after a drunken night out - but the really interesting part is the unique style in which the story is told. A very cool read!

    Sam/Dean

    A Foreign Land
    [info]oxoniensis Dean/Sam | NC-17 | First-time, pre-Stanford
    It's a long hot summer: Sam doesn't recognize himself in the mirror.
    This is an incredibly vivid story that almost pulsates with repressed emotion. It's so very reminiscent of being a teenager, when everything's changing and so very intense. This is a pre-series Sam/Dean that is so emotionally charged that it impacts on every event that happens later.

    Saturday: Blast From the Past

    Suicide Note
    [info]sweetiejen Vid | Spoilers up through 3x16.
    The stoic last stand of a dying man: the dark and gritty tale of Dean Winchester through the eyes of Sam.
    Unsettling and gorgeous vid with clever use of outside source footage to convey the surreal, dark and disturbing aspects of Dean's story line.

    J2

    Let Me Ask You This Question
    [info]stellamira JA/JP | R | schmoop.
    Jensen knew you should never say never.
    A tale of pure delightful schmoop, sprinkled lightly with hot sex and topped off with a Happily-Ever-After.

    Cold December (J2 AU)
    [info]maichan808 | PG | "Cold December" by Matt Costa | Jensen/Jared
    Made for [info]candygramme as part of the [info]spn_j2_xmas gift exchange, who asked for "something Christmasy", "emotional porn", and "a reunion after an estrangement".
    Lovely visual narrative and atmosphere in this AU vid, particularly in establishing the sense of loss and misery, followed by the ending's love and warm fuzzies. Awesome clip choices and editing--a spectacular job all around!

    Ain't No Rest ...
    [info]jaffatech | PG | "No Rest For The Wicked" by Cage The Elephant | Spoilers thru 5.04
    A look at everything Azazel and Ruby did to get Sam ready to be Lucifer's vessel.
    Sharp editing and clever visuals to show parallels and continuity in Sam's character arc. The seamless mixture of the different Ruby incarnations is perfect.

    Show Me Your Teeth
    [info]gembat | PG | "Teeth" by Lady Gaga | Spoilers for 5.10
    I made an offhanded comment about making a Supernatural promo to a Lady Gaga song. Which I then proceeded to do.
    So brilliant! Clever editing, beatwork and typography make for a hilarious trailer for Abandon All Hope.

    Story Art: Three Forces
    [info]secretlytodream | PG | Vid + Wallpapers + Icons
    Full art post for Three Forces by [info]naisica for the Russian Big Bang.

    Silent Lucidity
    ellaine | G | Digital Painting
    "I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity". Second from the music inspired pictures.
    The style is gorgeous and the emotion is so perfect. It perfectly captures the connection between the brothers.

    Praying
    kkareuk | G | Digital Art
    Dean praying.
    A stunning piece with a compelling premise: what if younger Dean had been religious? The use of contrast and texture in this artwork is phenomenal. I'm completely in love with the way the light filters through Dean's hair and over his face.

    Groped By An Angel
    [info]nursethalia | PG-13 | Digital Art
    The first piece of Dean/Cas slash fanart I've ever done.
    The soft textures, clean lines and sexy concept make for an intense image. I love the heat as they clutch each other's clothing. Castiel should always be portrayed in converse!

    pour a little salt
    [info]tripoli8 | PG | Wallpaper
    Gen, Jo.
    Lovely combination of hard lines, soft floral textures and photo images to show the balance of strength and softness in Jo's character.

    I could stay with you
    [info]standing_fic | PG-13 | None
    it's their wedding day, and pretty much everything that could possibly go wrong goes wrong. still, they're married! also, a cake fight of epic proportions. CAKE.
    It's wedding fic which makes it schmoopy, but it's a wedding going wrong in every way possible which makes it hilarious. An adorable little ficlet of how love is seriously all you need.



    Such a Beautiful Mess That's Breaking My Skin
    [info]dugindeep | NC-17 | Angst, mentions of Jensen/Danneel and Jared/Genevieve
    Jensen didn't have a chance to tell Jared before he asked her, and Jared crumbles under the whole thing.
    Just a little piece of lovely that will break your heart.



    White Knight, Talking Backward

    "Partners, or partners, like us?" Sam's right up in Dean's personal space, looming, pressing in on him, holding him against the door with nothing but the weight of his body.

    Gen

    Neither Demons nor Angels
    [info]pwcorgigirl Gen | PG-13.
    The answer to Bobby's question is a long time coming.
    Long, complex, and philosophically interesting! A great Bobby portrait providing some vivid glimpses of secondary characters we've met in the past. Just so enjoyable!

    Dazzleland
    [info]big_pink Gen | PG-13.
    “Someone goes over Niagara in a barrel. You gonna jump in and try to save them?” – Dean Winchester, Crossroad Blues. Sam’s making plans, and they don’t include his father or hunting. They might not even include Dean. High school in two time periods.
    This is a long fic (ten great chapters!) of quite epic awesomeness. An intricate and deft weaving of past and present, case-fic and relationship, that examines long-held motivations and digs deep into characters. Highly recommended!

    Other

    Sense Memory
    [info]entangled_now Dean/Alistair | R.
    This is not hell, and Alistair is not some random soul to be cowed, or disturbed, by a sharp knife and a string of graphic threats.
    A short but very chilling character study that hints at the deep and complicated history behind one of the hardest scenes from last season.

    Sam/Dean

    Take a right at the light, keep goin' straight until night
    [info]deacon_fic Sam/Dean | Adult.
    It's been one year since they killed Azazel, and they're happy.

    "I just know we're all we've got." Every time you close your eyes. (Sam/Dean)

    Dead Winter: More Winchester Art...
    [info]dauntdraws | PG | Digital Drawing
    I was listening to Imogen Heap's new song 'Canvas' when I came up with the idea for this picture and sadly it fell short of what I wanted. I wanted more wind, more distance between Sam and Dean and everything to be much much darker
    Gorgeous lines and shading. The effect of the haloing light in monochrome is intense.

    Do You Love The Shattered Pieces Left Of Me?
    [info]secretlytodream | PG | Wincest | Photomanipulation/digital art

    OTHER SLASH

    Five Times Castiel Played A Taylor Swift Song
    [info]stangerine88 | Sam/Castiel | PG | crack!fic
    Sam- much to Dean's amusement- is convinced it's another sign of the apocalypse. Country music.
    Castiel is adorably innocent and this is just a bag of laughs from start to finish.

    The Universe In My Arms
    [info]glorious_spoon | Dean/Castiel | PG
    In which Dean keeps his promise. Missing moment from 5x03, Castiel POV

    There Is A Place
    [info]azephirin | PG | None
    Wincest or not, reader's choice. Title and cut text from "Where the Sidewalk Ends," by Shel Silverstein.
    A gorgeous, drabble-length fic that captures so incredibly much. Beautiful emotion, and so vivid despite the few words used to paint the scene. This is a wonderful piece.


    Thankful
    [info]runedgirl | PG | Spoilers for S5
    Sam, Dean, the Impala and some pie.
    This "Thanksgiving special" ficlet is heart-warming in a simple and perfect way.

    You’re The Only Anchor I Found
    [info]arlad | PG-13 | AU
    Final part of the Pump Up The Volume!j2 ‘verse, though reading the previous stories isn’t necessary. AU. Jared and Jensen broke up after high school, went to different colleges, and Jared’s moved on, mostly. But what happens when he hears Jensen again, four years later?
    This is sweet and warm, and will leave you feeling absolutely wonderful.


    The One Where Jensen Is A Bank Teller
    [info]arglikeapirate | R | AU, kidfic
    Jensen is a bank teller, Jared has a crush, and free lollipops are a perfectly valid reason to date someone.
    I love kidfic when it's done right, and this one is. It's fun, Emma is a doll, and I'm ridiculously amused by "chicken poop".

    It's a burning love
    [info]rivers_bend | NC-17 | adolescent Sam
    Sam and Dean have a sleeping loft to themselves, and can't get enough of each other.
    This is just incredibly smoking hot, not only with some seriously good porn but a constant undercurrent of UST leading up to it. Add in some serious sweetness and you've got an excellent read.

    Imagine A Figure Eight
    [info]dark_reaction | R | Spoilers through 5.10
    In order to stop Lucifer and the apocalypse, Michael thrusts them both outside time.
    A really intruiging idea, incredibly well written. The characterizations in this are perfect, and really make the fic what it is.

    Everyone breaks. Tonight, it's Sam's turn.
    Leonidaslion's Suite!verse is one of my favorite fic series of all time, and this segment stands out as a favourite to date. It's sweet and heartbreaking, all the more poignant for the darkness of events to come.

    [info]black_regalia Sam/Dean | R.
    Time passes and Sam's powers have an unexpected effect on the lives of both him and his brother.
