Well, this will be embarrassing, because it's a list of fics I've mostly read in PDF and one of my current failures as a human being is in going back and commenting on stuff. Authors, if you come across this, I will comment on your fics, I will! But here are some I enjoyed:
tryfanstoneThe Allegeory of the Cave Post s6. Loved the NY setting (even though St John the Divine is in the wrong place) and the intensity of Sam's wanting.
vail_kagamiHitori Kakurenbo Genuinely creepy -- I read this late at night alone in the house, BAD IDEA. Also heartbreaking in its treatment of the great wall of Sam.
gloveredWindfall for the Non-Believer A much more cheerful piece. Sam addict though I am, this one is really here for the excellent Dean voice and POV.
selecasharp$97 Short Light, fun pre-series read with a persistent and devoted teen Sam.
sonofabiscuit77Treasure AU future!fic with amputee Sam. I love this Sam; he's smart!Sam, he has canon!Sam's ruthless streak combined with fundamental goodness, and his compound of indulgent fondess/insane devotion to Dean. Plus, amputee!Sam, how can you go wrong?
And, not a BB, but have you run across freac_camp? AU with really nice world-building and buckets of Sam whump followed by convincingly slow and difficult healing. It took me a long, long time to read it because kids in horrifically abusive situations are usually past my comfort level, but it's well worth it. There's a PDF of pt 1, and part 2 is a work in progress.
There are lots of BBs I haven't gotten around to yet but look forward to, too. atanih88's looks promising for more post s6 h/c: Choir of Furies
I've read one of those you rec'ed because Callisto rec'ed it. I didn't like it as well as you guys did. However, I did enjoy it. I've got a few already mobi'ed and ready to go, but some I hadn't even noticed, so this is a terrific resource. I'll have to check out Freac_Camp's work. That didn't even make it onto my radar.
cherie_morte A List of Typos Made By God Set the summer before Stanford. Full of angst, beautifully characterized for both Sam and Dean.
