title. Kokomo
author. destina
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. NC-17
words. 6,207
summary. Dean needs a vacation, a beer, and a hug from Sam. Whether he likes it or not.
read this. Set in Florida, this story creates an amazing sense of place. Between Dean’s grudging enjoyment of their holiday and the little details of beach-life, the fic conjures such a peaceful mood reading it feels like a vacation in itself.
title. Covalent
author. dotfic
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. PG-13
words. 2,100
summary. The apocalypse takes a breather, and Dean wants something other than whiskey.
read this. A beautiful, tender snapshot that will have you running for the fridge in search of icecubes. One of the fics who manages to show how Cas and Dean are good for each other not only in the trench but in the quiet moments too.
title. Two Good Reasons
author. electricskeptic
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17
words. 3300
summary. The thing about bad ideas is, they often have this way of working out for the best.
read this. A sizzling hot piece of writing that impresses with its slow build and intense up-against-a-car sex. Also strikes a gorgeous balance between a wild first-time and a calm sense of pieces falling into place.
title. The Boys Of Summer
author. ignipes
characters. Dean, Sam
rating. PG-13
words. 1400
summary. Sometimes, in forgettable nowhere towns between one job and the next, Dean takes off for a few hours without telling Sam where he's going.
read this. Set in the early seasons, this fic centers on a break between hunts: Sam spends a summer day drifting through a small town and taking care of his brother on the sly. Remarkable for its subtle and bittersweet characterization of Dean seen through Sam’s eyes.
title. Morning Glory
author. nyoka
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. NC-17
words. 1,260
summary. Summer means being curled up with Dean on a morning that stretches long and perfect.
read this. Another quiet moment, beautifully captured in this summer morning vignette. Stands out because of its vivid and gentle imagery, its sensory details, lazy kissage and "hypnotic rhythm".

author. zeppx
characters. Dean, Castiel (pre-slash), Sam
rating. PG (reccer’s rating)
words. 2094
summary. It's Dean's birthday, Cas has a little surprise for him.

rating. PG (reccer’s rating)
type. picture
summary. Dean, Cas and ice cold coke
see this. An animated graphic that hits all the clothes kinks: washed-out denims, open shirt, no shirt, no socks. Too sexy for shirts words.
title. Are you there God? It's me, Castiel
artist. emg_81
characters. Castiel
rating. G
type. picture
summary. Castiel takes a walk on the beach.

title. The Cruise
artist. Zanzekiel @ Deviantart
characters. Dean/Castiel, Sam, Gabriel
rating. PG (reccer’s rating)
type. comic
summary. Though it was not the weirdest family vacation the Winchester’s ever had, it did make the top five.
see this. A cheeky comic strip that captures the boys’ adorkable faces and introduces a surprise family member.
reccer's note. When I was asked to do a guest post I thought of a gazillion fanworks I wanted to share but I like the idea of compiling a themed list. Considering the temperatures outside a summer mix seemed appropriate. Today's recs put together a collection of fic and art, various pairings and different genres. I hope you enjoy!
