Title: Small Potatoes
Author/artist: roque_clasique
Possible tags: respiratory illness
Reccer's comments: In which Sam and Dean are broke and go to a homeless shelter for turkey dinner. And Dean is sick. The premise sounds like it could end up being incredibly sad or floofy (Is that a word? Well, it is now.), but this is neither. A fun little fic, with an equally fun OC.

Title: Stubborn
Author/artist: sams1ra
Possible tags: learning disability
Reccer's comments: I love how Dean's teacher doesn't give up on him. She sees right through his crap and manages to get through to him despite Dean's best efforts to not graduate.

Title: "You Say Pumpkin, We Say Pie"
Author/artist: postfallen
Possible tags: fever, respiratory illness, cough
Reccer's comments: Generally, I dislike OCs. They remind me of Mischa Barton. But the OC in this fic, Fiona, has such a voice and personality that permeates every aspect of this fic that I kind of fell in love. I read this fic for the first time a long time ago at the autumn meme, but it's stayed with me since then. I don't even know what else to say about it- it's just fantastic.

Title: hope won't hide the loss
Author/artist: katriel1987
Possible tags: pre-series, injury
Reccer's comments: The OC *and* outsider POV in this ghost story fic is quite interesting in and of herself, but then there's smokin' hot teen Dean (the Sheepdog) and fabulous writing to keep me glued to my screen.

Title: Strangers in Gilead
Author/artist:corvus_imbrifer
Possible tags: [setting: season 2], [genre: gen], amnesia/memory loss
Reccer's comments: There are strangers in Gilead. A tall, well-kept man named Ben Cartwright, very probably a Pinkerton-Man, though he never confirmed it, and a green-eyed, sweet-talking, scruffy traveller named William Carlyle. What they want, how they came here - why they came? Nobody know, least of all Miss Rose and her girls from the saloon.

This is the PERFECT western-story for Dean and Sam. Intriguing, mysterious, action-packed and full of evil and strangeness, not forgetting a loveable, believable heroine and lovely OCs. This is more than worth the read! (Also, I have it tagged as hurtDean, but I can't remember what happens. So there could be a gunshot-wound or something...)
