a trio of shiny, brand new het recs (Dean/Ruby, girl!Dean/Sam & Dean/OFC)
I've read so much awesome het today, when usually I can never find enough, so I thought I'd share.
Title: The Waiting Unknown
Author: alwaysenduphere
Tags: hell/post-hell issues, injury (misc.), psychological damage/broken!Dean
Characters: Dean, Ruby
Genre/pairing: Dean/Ruby, Sam/Ruby peripherally
Rating: NC-17
Word-count: 4000
Spoilers: Set between 4.16 and 4.17.
Warnings: knife play, blood play, mentions of hell, sex, violence, etc etc.
Summary: Dean Winchester is a man a demon should be afraid of, not one a demon should comfort. But you try anyway.
Reccer’s comments: This is a pairing I never knew I wanted until this year, when several authors drew me to it with their fantastic fics. (Click on the Dean/Ruby tag for more goodness.) This is one of those fics. Set post-OTHOAP, it's a beaten-down Dean through the eyes of Ruby. A really cool look into her headspace, it's chilling, but somehow comfort-y too.
Title: Until it All Falls Down
Author: callistosh65
Tags: cuts/lacerations, psychological issues, genderswap
Characters: Sam, girl!Dean
Genre/pairing: Sam/Deanna
Rating: NC-17
Word-count: 4,800
Spoilers: It takes them vaguely up to the end of S6.
Warnings: Sam is underage for part of the story.
Summary: A slow-bleeding slice from a witch’s claw will put a dent in any girl’s junior prom, but she doesn’t really mind. Never wanted to go in the first place, truth be told. She’s fucked and blown every guy worth a damn in that stinking high school, and doesn’t want to watch them ignore her while they clutch at girls they’d rather be seen with. So yeah, she’s sore, but she’s got a newly opened bottle of Jack on the countertop and she’s got Sam fussing around with the kit as he lays everything out just so under the harsh fluorescent in the bathroom.
Reccer’s comments: This is incredibly hot, not to mention GORGEOUS. And I love the dynamic the author has created here between Sam and girl!Dean, the small ways it’s different, and the many ways it’s the same.
Title: Surface
Author: whereupon
Tags: cuts/lacerations, intoxication, psychological issues, substance abuse (alcohol)
Characters: Dean, OFC
Genre/pairing: preseries, Dean/OFC
Rating: R
Word-count: 3,940
Spoilers: None
Warnings: None
Summary: In truth, it was pretty clear how the whole thing was going to end when he walked ragged and rainsoaked into her bar and asked for a whiskey, double, thanks babe, with a smile that turned into slightly murderous when somebody shoved a quarter into the jukebox and overrode Johnny Thunders with something twenty years and a Clapton's worth of guitar genius away from being classic.
Reccer’s comments: This author has a way with words and this is a beautifully written character study of pre-series, Stanford-era!Dean through the eyes of a richly developed OC. I liked her enough that I could honestly read a whole series on her. <3
