I apologize for the lateness of this week's recs for
spn_themes but like probably a lot of people, I'm currently fighting with getting the first draft for Big Bang done.
It's a terrible life was one of my most favorite episodes of season 4. The amnesia theme that seemed to come straight out of fanfic, the sexual innuendo between Wesson and Smith, Dean driving a car that would be the material of his hunter self's nightmares, the introduction of a cool new character, what's not to love?
This week I bring you 4x17 coda recs. All of them Sam/Dean and/or Smith/Wesson.
Two sides of an ampersand by
oxoniensis (Sam/Dean; Adult, ca. 1.7k)
Coda to 4.17 with happy Sam. First time. Little porny coda, set after the episode.
Doing The Best Things So Conservatively by
memphis86 (Smith/Wesson, Sam/Dean; NC-17; ca. 1.7k)
And they really get down to business. Another little porny coda, set during the episode. Interesting use of the copy machine.
The Colts and the Haunting of the Port Hadley Lighthouse by
onelittlesleep (Smith/Wesson, Adult; ca. 5k)
This is an AU based on that episode. Smith and Wesson go on a ghost hunt together.
Trade it In by
rebekahfair (Sam/Dean; NC-17; ca. 2.6k)
Dean and Sam realize that this life just isn't the right one for either of them. Alternate ending for 4x17.
Sure to find some comfort up against the hallway wall by
austen (Smith/Wesson; R, ca. 2.2k)
A fine extension to the I need to see you in my office. Now! scene.
The Life That I Recognise by
someblazingstar (Sam/Dean; R; 780 words)
It's like waking from a nightmare, into a nightmare, and as his body jolts with the knowledge that suddenly bursts inside his brain he feels Sam go tense against him. Sam and Dean deal with the things they've done.
As always, please feel free to rec me (and everybody else) pieces that are not linked here and that fit the theme and please enjoy. Don't forget to feed the authors!
