rating. NC-17

summary. The 12 Steps tell you to keep it simple, but Dean Winchester has never been good at keeping anything simple. So, with the help and support of the core people in his life he’s giving sobriety his best shot, which even on a good day is a struggle. But as he works at it he makes progress and starts to rediscover himself, and maybe find love with the new guy next door.
read this. Stories about addiction can be tricky to write, but this fic handles the issue well. With its strong characterizations and pacing, this is a touching piece about redemption and starting over.
title. The Fulcrum of the Force
author. paleogymnast
characters. Dean/Castiel, Sam/Ruby
rating. NC-17
words. ~123,000
summary. Dean Winchester, a trained Hunter of the Dark Side, is the Healer, and Cas Tiel, the soul of a long-dead Jedi Master joined with the body of a new vessel, is his Guide. As Dean struggles with the loss of his father, the alienation of his brother, and a host of confusing, potentially deadly new powers, will he follow the path the Prophecy has foretold? Or will his unexpectedly strong connection to Cas help him to forge a new path and a new future? And what will happen when Dean realizes he is not just someone who heals with the Force, but the Healer of the Force itself?
read this. This is a cool melding of the Stars Wars and SPN canons. If you're a fan of both like I am, this verse will definitely draw you in. It has a nice mix of adventure and mytharc, and a D/C backstory that will tug at your heartstrings.
title. Precious
author. clueless-psycho
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. R
words. 20,304
summary. Dean, Kubrick, Jake, and Ash were U.S. Special Force members stationed in Afghanistan. An attack got them separated from the base camp and lost in the mountainous area. They came across a house, kept by Castiel who fed them, let them stay the night and tended Jake’s wound. Nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until Kubrick was found dead upon leaving the house.
read this. A unique piece with a clever mystery. This reads like a fairy-tale.
reccer's note. Three recent D/C AUs I've enjoyed from this year's deancasbigbang. Happy reading :)
