September Recs

Sep 25, 2013 18:46

This month my recs are, for the most part, J2 AUs. They are a varied lot, but they are all worth a read.

( This way to the recs... )

rec: sam/dean, rec: rps, rec: nc-17, rec: g

Thank you for the recs! I've only read in the company of wolves and liked it. Will check the rest out!

That's such a good story, but the whole bunch of them are awesome, so enjoy!

Thanks for these. I don't normally read J2, but someone told me some of them are really fun romcoms (and if they're AU maybe I won't feel like a voyeur...;) ) A couple of these look like they might fit the bill, Bell, Book and Candle, The Sinister Nature of Culs-de-Sac and She's a Handsome Woman.

BTW, did you know "cul-de-sac" literally translated means "ass of the bag"? And so the plural is "culs-de-sac" rather than "cul-de-sacs." As in "asses of the bag" rather than "ass of the bags." There's a bit of very pointless French trivia for you. :) And just to make this a little less pointless, "trou de cul" means "asshole."

I should probably just go to bed now instead of blabbering pointlessly like this.

Oh, read The Ghost too. Pretty much all of these are AUs, and I tend to think of them as having been cast with our boys, Of course they aren't really as the stories would have them. I have a special love for RomComs though, and also for trivia. Thank you for that. Did you know it takes 40 minutes to lightly boil an Ostrich egg?

Thanks, I will add The Ghost to my queue.

Ooh, actually, you know that makes a lot of sense to me, and I think I could deal with that! You have just opened up a whole J2 universe to me. ;)

:D!

That makes me happy, because there's so much really excellent J2 AU fic out there. It's the non-AU you need to avoid to stop feeling voyeuristic.

Thanks for sharing your reccomendations. There were a few I have not read that I added to my kindle to read later.

I love when I turn up stuff that people don't know. I hope you enjoy the fic.
