Podfic recs part 12: I Put a Spell on You
Cross-posted from spnroundtable, the podfic recs that conclude my month of posting as a guest reccer.
This one's a little quick and dirty (heh heh) because I pulled these together at the last minute.
One of the things about SPN and SPN fic is that anything can happen thanks to the large amounts of supernatural fuckery that our world is made of. Fic writers often use it to uncover some fundamental truth about the characters that they've been desperate to hide (from his brother or perhaps even himself), or to explain the relationship between Sam and Dean that goes far beyond enmeshment.
Here are a few of those fics that likewise put a spell on me and my commute.
Witches
Not Time's Fool Written and read by FayJay aka pandarus. Sam/Dean Dean/OFC, Dean/OMC, NC17. 6 hr 20 min. Dean hates witches. Yes, yes she does.
I Wanna Hold You 'Til I Die by lazy_daze, read by sadcypress Sam/Dean NC17 30 min. Only a curse could turn Dean Winchester into a snuggler.
Let Sleeping Little Brothers Lie by faye_dartmouth, read by jenilees. Gen, PG. 1 hr 10 min. Don't piss off a witch, part 3. Sam adjusts amazingly well to narcolepsy, but it's inconvenient on a hunt.
Fairies
Life Is a Banquet and Some Poor Suckers Are Starving to Death by chaobell, read by sadcypress Sam/Dean NC17 45 min. Fucking Redcaps. Sam and Dean have reason to appreciate all-night drive-thrus and convenience stores.
Credit in the Straight World by ninhursag aka vaingirlfic read by ann_ciudad Sam/Dean NC17 3 hr. There's a glamor. Dean forgets everything, but John and Sam cannot, and John warns Sam he must carry this burden alone. This one's a heartbreaker. Warnings for murky consent issues and teen sex; read the text warnings or the author's general warnings on her LJ sticky post.
Djinn
Never Be by rejeneration read by juice817 Sam/Dean NC17 1 hr. 10 min. AU of "What Is and What Should Never Be." Dean wakes up in a strange place, but it's not a stranger lying next to him. Dean has everything he ever wanted. Another heartbreaker.
It's all about the mystery
On Midsummer Nights I Dream of Winchesters by deirdre_c, read by sadcypress Sam/Dean NC17 1 hr 35 min
Methinks there is fuckery afoot, m'lord. Sam, Dean, iambic pentameter and secrets of the heart.
Verbal by big_pink read by podfic_lover. Gen PG 1 hr 20 min. Dean can't shut the hell up. Imagine Dean with every thought that crosses his mind tumbling out in a mad rush, and picture the hilariity and also the pain. Yeah. Like that.
Noesis by rei_c read by Leviticus Lied. Gen, PG. 1:15. 15-year-old Sam learns about the circumstances of his mother's death. Written in 2006, so there are speculations that aren't borne out in canon, but damn, the world they make are fascinating. Love it.
