At long last, my list of recommended Supernatural fanfiction.

I've been collecting these links for many months, but thought I ought not to post anything until I wrote a nice summary of each piece.  But I've discovered that I'm as bad at summarizing others' stories as I am my own.  (In the ever-popular fanfiction.net refrain, "I suck at summaries.")  Also, I found myself too inclined to critique while I summarized, writing things like "I love the mood of this piece, but the characterization of Sam is wrong."  Better for you to decide those things for yourselves.  All I'll say is that I read dozens of Supernatural fanfiction pieces every week, and in my view, these are the very best.

Most, you'll note, are pre-series, since I find the back story of Supernatural to be the most compelling part of the drama.

You'll also note:  no Wincest, no boys sprouting wings or growing bellies, no cross-over (but only because I don't know any other fandom), no alternative/speculative/future fiction, and only a handful of female love interests.

Listed here in approximate chronological order.
