It's a memory game!
An incisive political commentary on Supernatural - and also, a fun game. Ingenious!
J2 AU
Sweet Dreams Remaindark_reaction JA/JP, Jared/Sandy | AU | NC-17
In which Jensen is a cocktail waiter, and Jared is a lawyer - and married.
There's so much depth here: the relationships are painful and complicated and somehow realistic in a way that is very, very satisfying. It's clever, but also heartfelt and moving. A brilliant story even if you have no idea who any of the main characters are: it's a rare thing, the stand-alone J2 AU.
Open Mike Night at the Fremontaudrarose JA/JP | AU | NC-17.
Bookstore AU set in Chicago, with Jared as a sculptor who works out of a garage, and Jensen as a bookstore clerk who's trying to get over a tragedy.
This is atmospheric and heartrending, and will completely carry you away into the world of the story. I particularly like this story for the characterisation of Jensen, still recognisable but marked by his past in a way that only Jared in the end can finally start to heal. Just lovely.
Sam/Dean
Bindingastolat Sam/Dean | coda for Born Under a Bad Sign| NC-17 .
No way had Bobby pulled out some pair of real mystical amulets from nowhere and handed them over like crackerjack prizes.
This story is both hilarious and smoking-hot. SIZZLING hot. But even better, there's a really beautiful story development from the beginning right through to the perfect conclusion. I like Dean and Sam here: they're in-character and somehow really endearing, and their plight, such as it is, is nicely realised and so readable. This is a story I come back to when I'm tired of life. It's feel-good and smart and just ultimately cheering.
