Just a few recs, to start.
And not even special recs. Just some basic fics that everyone everywhere who is a fan of Supernatural should read. Like. Everyone. And a warning, ahead of time: most of these are either R or NC-17, so beware!
Also. These are less summaries than me telling you to go read things because I like them; don't expect much information on the actual plot of the stories, or whether or not they're AUs, or if they've got loads of smut. Because I am lazy.
Fandom:
Supernatural
(Pairings are all slash, of all varieties.)
We'll start with Wincest, since it's a somewhat-secret love of mine. Also because it's the shortest list, since the majority of wincest that I read is pretty much well-known, just like the three I've rec'd.
Last Outpost of All That Is, by the lovely eighth-horizon. If you haven't read this, you haven't read wincest. It's amazing. That is all.
When it Crackles by lyra_wing is also amazing, and, like Outpost, absolutely needs to be read. I'm currently not finished with it, as I started reading it about half an hour ago, but damn. The premise is the best.
And also the Fetters of Fenrir, if you can find it. As you can see from here, it's kind of gone. I don't remember where I read it, but I did, and it was amazing. If I ever dig up where I found it (though it's probably something embarrassingly obvious and everyone probably knows about it), I'll add a link to here.
And now, Destiel. Because this list is shorter than the J2 one.
For Me This is Heaven, by thunder_nari. I love it. So hard. It's an AU of How to Train Your Dragon. Much like Outpost, you just have to read this. You have to.
Obligatory 300 Things rec, by the fabulous cautionzombies. This you must read, because it will be one of the best things you will ever read. And, since 300 Things may or may not be the most rec'd Destiel fic of all time, if you haven't read it, you have to now. As in. Right now.
I Seek Shelter in the Base of your Spine, by moonlettuce. Very, very, very much smut. That is all.
Aschenflügel, by liadan14. Also amazing. Actually, fuck it. Everything on here is amazing. Just assume. Because this? There are words, but I don't have them. A take, somewhat, on Cinderella. And also evil bastard Zachariah, which I approve of.
And on to the J2, because even though I have about 5 or 6 more Destiel, it is late and I am le lazy.
No Sleep Till Bedtime was the first ever J2 I ever read. It's nothing huge, nothing spectacular, but it's one of my all-time favorites. It's written by the lovely veronamay.
It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time is also nothing huge or spectacular, but it's another of my favorites. All you need to know is that Jared speaks Spanish. By joyfulgirl41.
And the Rest, They Say, is History. Oh man. Go and bow to raina_at right now. RIGHT. NOW. This is one of the best J2 out there, and though it's pretty commonly rec'd, I have to rec it. It's a requirement.
Apocalypse: Cancelled is also fabulous. The plot was amazing, the characterization spot-on. There were moments where I felt like yelling at both Jensen and Jared for being idiots to each other, and that's always a good thing- this is a must-read, especially if you like apocalypse!AUs. By the lovely jeyhawk.
In a Brand New West, by movablehistory. Jared is a mail-order bride, and Jensen works in space. SPAAAAAAACE. SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. I like space. And Jensen in space, especially when he is gruff.
The Chapterhouse, by essene and allegraconbrio. Oh man. This AU is so artfully crafted and tasteful that I wanted it to be a book and never, ever, ever end. It was just. So vivid and involved. And it reminded me of Jedi. Which is always a good thing.
A Certain Smile, by elise_509, is worth reading, as well. Jensen rides motorcycles and it is based in 1958, which makes everything so much better, if you understand the time period.
Lost and Found. Oh. Oh man. It is only fitting that the last rec on this list is Lost and Found, because mediaville is amazing and writes things that are the most inspiring and romantic and asdfjkl;.
And that's that, loves! Not many, but I might add on to this later. Happy reading (if you've not read everything that I've rec'd, and if you have, well. I salute you.), and if you think there's something not on this list that you feel needs to be mentioned, feel free to let me know!
