Wednesday: Dean/Castiel https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/500568.html Divine Justice (sucks)consultingcas| Teen | AU, cupid!Cas, reaper!Dean The archangels don't take kindly to those who break Heaven's laws. Dean and Castiel both get put on heavenly community service to pay for their "crimes". And they learn their lesson alright, just not the one Heaven had planned on teaching them. It’s like an all-human AU and an all-angel AU all rolled up in one. Great characterizations and very cool twists.
Unfurl, Like A Wing In A Thermal anactoria| Teen | casefic with zombies After a run-in with a rogue Woman of Letters, Castiel finds himself with visible wings. Being injured in the aftermath of the encounter and stuck on lockdown in the bunker is bad enough, but between attacking zombies, cultlike followers, and his tentative relationship with Dean, he soon finds that his injuries are the least of his worries. This has the feel of a regular case (with zombies) and then quickly takes any expectations the reader might have and turns them on their heads. | 8:14p |
sunday - sam/dean https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/500769.html Dean Winchester is Dead, Long Live Dean Winchester dimeliora | Unrated | Warnings or other notes. Dean wakes up to wage a war he's not equipped to fight.Set, technically, about five minutes before the end of the season nine finale. No spoilers for season ten. Dean’s journey is amazing and cathartic, at least for us!you are my little kitetekuates | General Audiences | No Archive Warnings Apply/Pre-Canon/Pining. He stares at himself in the mirror. Dean used to be able to see himself, but now he just sees pieces; his crooked nose, his eyes, his mouth, twisted up. He can’t make the parts resolve into the whole. Not anymore. Lovely subtle touches make this story, set just pre-series, throb with Dean’s own loss.The New York Story frozen_delight | Mature | Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings To Sam it was always The New York Story. Angsty goodness with great backstory (both about John and about the history of Sam/Dean) and a continuation of Dean’s pigheaded insistence on self-sacrifice.Out of the Woodsselecasharp | Mature | No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: After Flint, the boys decide to go on one of their regular hunts in rural Ohio. But there's something else out there in the woods, stalking Dean, and for Sam, saving him means facing down the complicated mess of emotions sitting between them. Very enjoyable monsters (well, for the reader anyway) and lovely longing and mutual confessions. | 8:14p |
Monday: General Fiction https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/501000.html Because We're All Dead In Herevail_kagami | PG-13 | Vague spoilers for 10x01 After her death, Sarah Blake finds herself drifting. She's not alone in that. Reccer's notes: A hauntingly sad and beautifully written look at what might have been.Frater Lupinuscleflink | Teen and Up | No Archive Warnings Apply. Sam's older brother is, and always has been, a wolf. It doesn't make much sense to Sam, but it's still an undeniable fact of life. Or, at least it is until Dean gets caught in the wrong spell and Sam ends up with a human-shaped brother who's surprisingly unhappy with the situation. Sam's always known that Dean would take a secret to the grave if he thought it was in Sam's best interests. He wasn't expecting a secret like this. Reccer's notes: Great brother-focused story, with classic Winchester family dynamics and an ending that is satisfying but also leaves you wanting more."Not I," said the Catbellatemple | G | No Warnings It blew in on a cool breeze and a flutter of dead leaves. They never stood a chance. Reccer's notes: Dean finds a kitten. Of course, he is allergic. A sweet, lovely, funny slice of Winchester life. | 8:14p |
Friday- Arts, Vids, Misc. https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/501541.html Sputnik Sweetheartalethiometry | G | Photomanip of young Sam with text. A wistful and lonely look at young Sam that makes my heart ache for himTough MudderGan Eden | PG | Flawless photomanip of J2 having fun at the Tough Mudder. The joy that the real pics have brought fandom over the past week? Totally captured in this piece, just with a little extra J2-ness thrown in there for extra joy.Happy Togetherash48 | G| Summary (from the vidder, because she said it so well!) Every now and then a song comes along that just screams J2. When I saw this song mentioned in reference to the Js I just knew I had to make a vid to it. But I wanted to do something a little different than just a J2 vid so thought about combining Sam and Dean with Jared and Jensen. I wanted to show how their off screen chemistry and camaraderie feeds into the on screen chemistry between Sam and Dean. So the idea of "happy together" is the matching of Jared and Jensen to Sam and Dean. And it's not only great seeing the Js happy in each others company, but also seeing those glimpse of when the brothers are happy being together. Even though their relationship is fraught with drama (and all the angst!), I believe that there is a sense of happiness and peace when they are truly working well and just being together. What the vidder has done here with the combination of convention clips and Supernatural clips is so fun. The parallels she noticed and included will make you smile and shake your head at the boys at the same time.Maybe I Can Be Savedtripperfunster | G | Stained glass window depicting a scene in which Sam gets the quest he always hoped for. I love pieces that use different media, so this stained glass window was a beautiful surprise. You can see by looking at it, and by scrolling through the artist's journal that this was a labor of love that spanned several months. It really pays off, as it's exquisitely executed. The earnest look on Sam's face just slays me. | 8:14p |
sunday - sam/dean https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/503399.html Playing Housedimeloria | NC17| Sam/Dean Summary. To Sam, this is the kinkiest thing they have ever done. Hands down. This is a beautiful, emotional story that plays out in real time, as Sam tries to fulfill Dean’s desire for something that would be kinky only to the Winchester’s.New Toyselecasharp | NC-17 | Straight-up porn, nipple playSummary: Sam and Dean are still learning each other.I'm more interested in plot than PWP, but I will read anything written by selecasharp, even "straight-up porn." If this doesn't bring a flush to your skin, I don't know what will. Whew!Seasonsdreamlittleyo | Teen and Up | No warnings.Summary: In which Sam and Dean share a quieter future.I am always amazed by writers who can evoke so many feelings with so few words. This is a lovely vignette that represents a future I hope Dean and Sam can have. What is and What Shall Always Bestir_of_echoes | Not Rated (I'd say R)| No warnings.Written for this prompt: Sam and Dean are watching tv late after a hunt one night on the motel couch. In the middle of the night one of them wakes up to realize that they've fallen asleep and curled up together. Also, boners.A sexy story that for me epitomizes the sexual tension we imagine between the boys. Very well written, with a lovely ending. | 8:14p |
Tuesday: Real Person Fiction https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/503825.html Within Youetoile_etiolee | NC-17 | Sexuals situations, mpreg, graphic birth. Summary: For as long as he can remember, Jensen had wanted kids. Being raised in foster homes, he's always felt some sort of emptiness inside of him, that only a child of his own could fill. Now he's happily married to Jared and soon enough, he finds himself pregnant. It's a dream come true, until an aneurism rupture puts him into a coma. Jared needs to face the fact that he might be raising their child alone after all, as the months go by and Jensen's due date comes irremediably closer. Reccer's notes: J2 AU written in first person, which works really well for this story. It is sweet and funny, intense and emotional, and it felt very true. | 8:14p |
tuesday: real person fiction https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/506600.html Please for the Love of God Can We Pretend I Never Said Anything About Your AbsGlassClosetCastiel (RileyBrennan) | Rating: Teen | Gen.

Wednesday: Dean/Castiel https://crack-impala.livejournal.com/506733.html A Batch Made in HeavenWatching_The_Bees | Teen| Sam/Jess side pairing, bakery AU When the rich Castiel Novak buys half of Dean’s bakery, he knows things aren’t going to work out. Castiel comes in with a plan to change nearly everything that makes A Batch Made in Heaven Dean’s, and while Dean resists at first, he soon realizes that maybe Castiel isn’t everything he’s taken him to be. It's always intriguing how authors deal with the power differential between these two in all-human AUs. As is often the case, this time it's money, and watching Cas figure out how to wield that power without being an ass is half the fun of this fic. |
