AU Long Fic Recs
Title: Steam
Author/Artist: bellatemple
Rating: Adult, for themes, violence, and language
Length/Word Count: ~ 30,000 words in 5 moderately-lengthed chapters
Warnings/Spoilers: Post-apocalyptic AU, spins off canon at "Jus in Bello"
Summary: Dean was supposed to get a year, and then go to Hell. Instead, as far as he was concerned, he got most of a year, and then Hell came to him.
Reccer's Comments: Honestly, I cannot say enough good things about this one. It's an exciting, fast-paced, intriguing case(ish) story/mystery, and the voices are spot on. I could hear Jensen and Jared delivering the dialogue in my head, which puts me beside myself with glee. Also, an introduction of sorts to steampunk.
Title: Dog eat Dog
Author/Artist: Silver Ruffian
Rating: PG 13
Length/Word Count: 211,435
Warnings/Spoilers: only season 1 (maybe some of s2?)
Summary: After a hunt gone south, Dean Winchester discovers that he is the human half of the Trickster God Coyote.
Reccer's Comments: One of the first AUs I've read. I love this. I've always liked Tricksters and I love the Navajo-myths of Coyote. It's just damn good, in my opinion. She went and played in that universe some more, check out her ff.net profile.
Reccer's Caveats: It has some lengths and I think the Dean-whump went a little overboard. But heck, it doesn't really matter that much. I'm pretty sure there is mention of females and sex with them in here (It's Dean - and Coyote...) but I don't remember.
Title: Reality Check
Author/Artist: nong_pradu
Rating: R
Length/Word Count: 87,297
Spoilers: It's set in season one, so not really.
Summary: After a bad hunt, Dean wakes up to find that nothing is as it should be. Rubber rooms and padded walls, with no hope of escape, unless he can convince Sam that he's not crazy.
Reccer's Comments: Oh my God, that was SO creepy and so good. I can't say much about it, but it's awesome and it leaves you puzzled as to what is happening and why.
Reccer's Caveats: Sam/Jess (yeah, you see right!) and mentions Dean/OMC(s). But you'll be safe. Also Dean-whump, straight-jackets, drugs... Link goes to ff.net, there is an lj-version out but that has less chapters so I think it's not finished yet. I don't know if there are changes made in the lj-version. Don't think so, though.
Title: Of Bastard Saints
Author/Artist: nilchance
Rating: PG
Length/Word Count: dunno. 36 chapters.
Warnings/Spoilers: Through Season 1. Character maiming, violence, more angst than you can shake a stick at
Summary: After Devils Trap, Dean dies. Sam is devastated but doesn't believe it, John's leg is fucked up and someone with blue hair meets Vikings.
Reccer's Comments: Great fic, very good story-arch.
Reccer's Caveats: I've often heard the 'verse will be wincest, but this is totally gen and you don't need to read further parts to enjoy this one.
This week's rec contributors, harrigan, twasadark, izhilzha, fish_echo, phorenice, july_july_july, cofax7, werewolfsfan, claudiapriscus, litponrm, marlowe78, tanaquific, feliciakw and dotfic, will make you feel bad for not being as awesome as they are.
