Reccer's Comments: Beautiful story about Sam and Dean and their personal fights. The way the author describes their relationship through them it's gorgeous and it's just SO THEM with the pain and the love and just everything they are.

Author/Artist: stillane
Rating: PG
Length/Word Count: 2,200
Warnings/Spoilers: AHBL2
Summary: Because Disneyland is too far away, and Mickey creeps him out.
Reccer's Comments: Sam and Dean, just after AHBL2, looking after each other in the small ways and actually communicating. The quiet, restrained mood of this works really well.

Title: Take a Closer Look
Author: authoressnebula
Rating: M
Length/Word Count: 813
Summary: "Post 3x08, AVSC: who else wondered about the magazines Sam got? Sam is NOT that type of person; at least, not to me. I kinda figured Dean would know that, too. So this is me explaining why Dean picked the gift he did."
Reccer's Comments: THIS. This is so completely canon.
Reccer's Caveats: Er, mention of porno magazines, and what Dean thinks of the photos/ads inside ;) Also, link is to the fanfiction.net one, as I can't find the relevant livejournal link.

Title: Gift
Author: kellifer_fic
Rating: PG
Length/Word Count: short
Summary: Sometimes Dean forgets, he loves Sam, has always loved him, but sometimes he forgets that he genuinely likes him, too
Reccer's Comments: One of those quiet little moments that just displays their care for each other so very clearly that it gives you a pop-tart burst of love. Total "awww" moment.
