SPN GEN FIC NOVEL-LENGTH/CHAPTERED RECS!
This is one of few fandoms (in my experience) where the gen fics can be just as brilliant (and sometimes, much more so) than the slash. This is an (ever-growing) collection of one-shots and novel-length completed gen fanfiction. I am most definitely always looking for more brilliant fanfiction to rec, so if you know of a fic, please comment and leave a link so I can add it to the list!
