Serial Killer AU Rec List
This time I have more Sam/Dean than J2 for you guys! Hallelujah!
Okay, so, I have a strange, strange love for AUs.
In particular, serial killer!AUs. I think exploring the boys' relationship when they aren't the good guys is just thought-provoking, and maybe...maybe I have a thing for sociopath!Dean. Maybe.
(Dexter fan here, can you tell?)
Anyway, I have (with love :3) compiled a rec list of serial killer AUs. If there's more, recs are always welcome in the comments! Be sure to read all the warnings, though--these are some pretty hardcore fics, with some very graphic content. *stern nod*
With that said, I really hope you all enjoy these stories as much as I did. :D
Sam/Dean, Gen
Darker Shade of Black by sardonicsmiley (Sam/Dean, 14A) They say that no one can get out of here. Never been done. Never will be done. Sam's heard that before, and Dean has never, ever, been wrong about his prediction on how long it will take them to get out. He's good that way. I love this story to pieces for its concept and its ending. I feel like the Wincest in this fic was balanced perfectly.
Hedonistic by cha and anyothergirl415 (Sam/Dean, NC-17) Hedonistic: noun: a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification. Dean likes to kill, Sam likes to obsess. When they come together it's more than either could anticipate. Cha and anyothergirl415 are some of the most prolific authors in fandom, and this story isn’t an exception to their quality style of writing. Wonderfully conceived and executed with deadly precision. (Ha! You see what I did there?)
Dark and Deadly by blueeyedliz (Sam/Dean, NC-17) Sam and Dean have an incest kink.
The 'Strangers' series by hopefulwriter27 (Sam/Dean, R) Sam and Dean are evil. They like to kill.
We Are Legion by aelfsiden(Sam/Dean, NC-17) To release Dean from his bargain Sam gives up both their souls.
The 'Howl' series by paxlux (Sam/Dean, NC-17) In Hell, people change. Or they stay the same. I lovelovelove this ‘verse, done in a prose that just works, whether in Sam or Dean or Bobby or even outsider POV; an absolute classic. There’s a podfic by pattyposh here, who does a perfect performance, captures the chilling atmosphere beautifully.
Bad Moon Rising (Portland OR) by red_handed (Sam/Dean, R) Dean is a profiler's worst nightmare.
Carve by tebtosca (Dean Smith, Gen-R) "My pain is constant and sharp, and I do not hope for a better world for anyone. In fact, I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape." (American Psycho, 2000)
Mercury, Salt, and Sulfur by pyrebi (Sam, Dean, PG-13) An AU tag to 3.15 Time Is On My Side
The Lady Killers by thrdstrike (Sam/Dean) This story’s been taken down, but I couldn’t just leave this story off the list-it’s one of my favourites, written so well, and deletion is no reason to stop sharing! Request for a PDF here
This is Not an Exit by portraitofafool (Sam/Dean, NC-17) Off-screen season six AU, where Soulless!Sam and Dean…well…
Natural Born Hunters by hugemind (Sam/Dean, NC-17) Based off of the film "Natural Born Killers"
Supernatural Born Killers by sugarbucket (Sam/Dean, NC-17) Based off of the film "Natural Born Killers"
Out Here in the Fields by honeylocusttree (Sam/Dean, PG-13) Hendrickson interviews Sam in a world where monsters don't exist. Beautifully written.
Sons of Atreus by tigriswolf (Implied Sam/Dean, R) Sam was six when he fell in love with death.
J2 AUs
We'll Dance All Night ('til the House Falls Down) by fleshflutter(Jared/Jensen, NC-17) This is the tale of deaf!serial-killer!attendant!Jensen and insane!underage!Jared in a mental hospital, as conceived by lazy_daze and balefully. This story scared me senseless. There’s a podfic by juice817 here. REMEMBER TO READ THE WARNINGS, this story is not for the faint of heart, those with kink issues, or just people who cannot watch “The Grudge” in its entirety. (ex. me, although I did listen to the podfic, and I died.)
Colors by englishblue(Jared/Jensen, NC-17) Serial killers beware. Jared is the go to guy for revenge.
A Touch of Evil by thenyxie (Jared/Jensen, NC-17, WIP) Jensen is an accomplished forensic pathologist hiding a secret life as a serial killer, and Jared is the best trauma surgeon in the Dallas area. Somewhere in the middle, they meet. One of my top serial killer fics, and one that I can read again and again, even though it’s been a while since it’s been updated…(This isn’t an attempt to push you, Nyxie, but those of us who love this story would also love to see its completion…/0.0\)
