Holy shit, I think it's been about two years since I've recced anything.

[vichan]

Taking a real quick break from everything I should be doing (you don't want to know how much I'm behind on everything due to... everything - but at least I've been keeping up on job apps, right? :P) to make a rare rec. (I have a list of fics I've been meaning to rec, but haven't gotten around to it because I suck, as usual.)

I'm gonna go ahead and say this outright: this round of Secret Angels has produced what I think might be my favorite piece of fanfic ever. Well, I suppose I can't really say that for certain, but I do mean ever - I've been through dozens of fandoms and what's gotta be thousands of fics, and this is seriously among the best I've read.

I Cleanse the Mirror - Author Anonymous (*does the "I know who wrote it and you don't neener neener" dance*)
Pre-Dean/Cas, Sam - 20K words - R
Mid-summer in Colorado and it's been snowing for three weeks. Dean and Sam's investigation turns to survival as they are hunted by an ancient, malevolent creature who seeks nothing other than to take their lives. Especially Cas's.

I seriously cannot express how much I fell in love with this fic from the moment I first read it. Just fucking read it, dudes.
