070: SPN AU recs
SPN? Absolutely! AU? Oh, yes, please!! I'll take 'em all. Just load them in the back, there's a tarp and some rope under the seat. ;)
When I was thinking of a theme for my recs for today, I couldn't help but turn to my absolute favourite, the SPN AU. Sam and Dean that aren't Sam and Dean, but still completely Sam and Dean, you know? Here are some of my favourites.
title. Six Days at the Bottom of the Ocean
author. vinylroad
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. R
words. 708
summary. Why am I up at 4:50am writing a story where Sam is a lobster fisherman and Dean is a carpenter and they live in a strange whitewashed house in Nova Scotia (and it's not crack fic)?
read this. vinylroad is one of my absolute favourite het writers, and when she not only wrote some Sam/Dean, but AU Sam/Dean? I nearly died. Also with a bonus sequel claimed for burial by the sea.
title. The Lie In The Lie
author. flawedamythyst
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. PG-13
words. 7,160
summary. The Epic AU love story of mechanic!Dean and lawclerk!Sam, living together in gay domestic harmony in Lead, South Dakota.
read this. flawedamythyst wrote a 63K epic called The Truth In The Lie, which I loved to bits and pieces. And then she posted The Lie In The Lie as a bonus fic and stole my breath away. It's in one word, perfect, and I can't recommend it enough. Read it and prepare to love it forever.
title. Look the Other Way
author. candle-beck
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. R
words. 55,160
summary. sam/dean, au. dean is a cop and sam is his no-good brother. on we go.
read this. candle-beck. Seriously, do I need to say anything more? Fine, but I'll let the writing do the talking. Here's a little taste of what's to come:
"I just wanna go home," Sam said tonelessly.
"Yeah, Sammy," Dean said, automatic as breathing. Ellen took his shoulder, strong grip with her nails biting, and Dean was forced to look back at her, annoyed and vaguely guilt-stricken.
Ellen looked like she was gonna tell him off, brilliant anger in the fine set of her features, but the lines softened, crumpled as Dean blinked at her. Her mouth thinned and she put her hand on the side of Dean's face, shaking her head ever so slightly.
"You break my heart," she told him, pierced Dean like a bullet. "Every single time."
title. Infrangible Road
author. ddayspring
characters. Gen.
rating. R
words. 48,500
summary. infrangible \in-FRAN-juh-bul\ adjective -- not capable of being broken. Although the scenery changes, the path winds onward--and detours always lead back to the main road. A Supernatural Gen AU in which John raises his sons in Lawrence.
read this. One of my favourites written for last year's spn_j2_bigbang. I dare anyone to not fall completely in love with this Dean. I dare you.
title. The common fate of all
author. gretazreta
characters. Sam/Dean
rating. R
words. 10,000
summary. Dean Winchester works in insurance: brought up in foster care, he’s never hunted, never fired a gun, and never owned a car. Then, one day, he meets a guy called Sam.
read this. gretazreta pulls you in from the first word and won't let go of you all the way through. A story that will stay with you long after you're done. Wonderful.
reccer's note. That's it. I hope you enjoy the stories as much as I did! Thank y'all for having me. <3
