summary. Jensen is a ranger in the US Forest Service, on loan to the Canadians with the dual mandate of protecting the Boreal forest and a US logging outfit. He likes his solitary life collecting data and spending time in the luscious green forest that looms around his little cabin, until the day he gets a phone call: an eco-terrorist is protecting a tree the logging company wants to cut down. The terrorist in question, a young activist named Misha who climbs and swings through the trees like Tarzan, is not what he expects. Charged with getting him down and locking him up, Jensen has his work cut out for him, especially when it appears something more sinister is going on. What follows is a whirlwind of forbidden romance, lust and danger that turns Jensen's once-quiet life upside down. And the most worrying part is he doesn't think he minds.
read this. This fic combines action, adventure and, of course, romance. I love the plottiness of this, the danger and excitement, and the eco message (though it's not preachy). Fast-paced, but also evocative of the majestic beauty of its setting and with a mighty fine serving of both UST and sex, this is the perfect story for a rainy day, curled up on the couch.

summary. Misha Collins is a master craftsman with a corner on the sustainable furnishings market. Jensen Ackles is an ambitious interior designer with an even more ambitious clientele. All he’s after at first is Misha’s signature on an impossible contract. What he gets is so much more.
read this. Misha's hands! OMG. This is a wonderfully sensual piece, with amazing attention to detail and a strong sense of place, plus spot-on characterization. This fic is a treatise in the art of seduction.

summary. High school AU. It's Dean's senior year at Lawrence High, and he's already given up on himself. It takes the arrival of the strange, intense, awkward Castiel Delacroix at the school to prove to Dean that maybe his life is worth saving after all.
read this. Sometimes, you just want to sink your teeth into a nice, long, meaty high school melodrama. This is that fic. Coming of age, coming out, and this story really captures that age when everything is immediate and dire. Plus, I rather love Cas in this.
