395: You were all I had [personal favorites, slash week]
title. The Distance of the Setting Sun
author. murron
characters. Team Free Will, Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17
words. 17850
summary. With the apocalypse off the table and Sam returned from the pit, Team Free Will finds themselves at loose ends. When Sam suggests they take a holiday, Dean expects many things. Wearing flip-flops isn’t one of them.

This is one of those stories that stay with you for the subtle work with all the characters, and the languorous mood. The final scene, especially is golden.
title. 48 Simple Rules for Success (Or How Not to Date Jensen Ackles)
author. paragraph
characters. Jared/Jensen, Jensen/JDM, Jensen/OMCs, Jared/Matt Cohen, Katie Cassidy/Lauren Cohan
rating. R
words. 9,894
summary. Jared's job had only two rules. One: never, ever interrupt Mr. Morgan when he's in a meeting. Two: never, ever allow The Ex to get near Mr. Morgan. If only Jared was aware that The Ex is Jensen Ackles, the model/actor/singer/clothing designer/artist/whatever else, who is about to become the worst boss Jared's ever had in his entire life.
read this. Hilarious and sweet story that left me with a huge smile. Jensen's unapologetically devious and manipulative and Jared's just flailing along, until he doesn't anymore.
title. Hating the Weather
author. rivkat
characters. Dee Winchester/others, including Jo Harvelle; Sam/Dean
rating. NC-17
words. 40,000
summary. Mysterious creatures change Dee Winchester's body, which causes numerous difficulties for Dee and Sam. Even as Dee makes a Winchester kind of peace with the change, Sam's determination to fix her takes a dangerous turn.
read this. I have a fascination for well-done gender swap. This story takes the premise and flips it around with an always woman Dee becoming Dean. The work the author does with the concept is subtle and amazing and at times uncomfortable: she creates a beautiful character that I can believe could be Dean had he always been a woman. The same work is done with the character of Sam, for whom Rivkat writes one of the best unreliable, and heartbreaking point of view.
