Supernatural
and all things nice by
kellifer_ficDean didn't think he would ever have been in a position where Sam having boobs wasn't the worst thing about a curse. A funny, sweet twist on the usual "one of the boys gets turned into a girl" trope.
At the start of all things by
dotficJust like Palo Alto, only the fire is blinding and cool, and Dean has to work harder, use his full body weight to shove, muscles in his arms straining, pulling Sam towards the crypt door. In Palo Alto, he'd been able to lift Sam. *sniffle* Oh, boys... Lovely, achy coda to 4.22.
Bounded in a Nutshell by
teandSam and Dean, in the aftermath of averting the apocalypse. Oh, boys. *smishes them*
Coin by
whereuponOutside the sky is the same steel grey of the tray that housed the body, and Dean is still too pale. Sam wants to know what it was, wants to know why. Wants to know if he remembers now, if he remembers being torn apart, having his heart ripped from his body. If he remembers choking on his own blood and how long it took to die. / It's not fair that Dean won't tell him. Dean did it for him and won't tell him anything, denies that he remembers, pretends the nightmares are nothing. / Dean did it for him and he won't let Sam help at all. Sharp, heartbreaking story set after Yellow Fever; good look into Sam's head in early season 4.
Got Your Back by
embroideramaDean worries himself sick after the shtriga attack on Sam. Should be read with the sequel,
Getting Home, which features wee!Sammy as the best little brother ever. Oh, boys...
Hairstreaks and Metalmarks by
innie_darlingKids are disappearing, so Dean goes undercover to find out what's taking them. Lovely and melancholy.
Hard As It Seems by
lavendergaiaMary is sorry too. She's sorry every day that she wakes up alone and wonders what life could be like if she didn't let her pride overwhelm her happiness. Mary doesn't take the deal. Smart, painful and true.
Have a Sip in the Sunshine by
apgeeksout Kentucky has a Derby, Sam has a birthday, and Dean has a betting philosophy. Sigh. A happy moment before Sam leaves for Stanford. Oh, boys...
I wanna see the others on the big top five by
irnanHere's the thing: Dean really likes Bruce Springsteen. It's a terrible thing to admit for someone who wears a battered leather jacket and drives a Chevy Impala and has this Midwestern drawl thing goin' on that he can't seem to get rid of, although he's also the first to admit he's never tried too hard, but the fact is that liking Springsteen makes him, as Sammy would put it, a walking cliché of an American blue collar working class guy, and Dean hates being a cliché. Dean, in a record store, musing about music and life.
Jig Is Up, News Is Out by
desertportSam has always prided himself on Not Freaking Out. Dad hands you a Glock and says be careful not to shoot your brother when you take down the closet monster? Well, either you freak out or you don't, and Sam had not. Adorable post-Nightshifter coda in which Dean is, well, Dean and Sam is certainly not freaking out.
Legerdemain by
dreamlittleyo"I don't know how I'm doing it," he says. His shoulders are stiff as he shrugs. "Some kind of subconscious suggestion, maybe? All I know is the world is suddenly bending over backward to give me what I want." Dean snorts and says, "Dude. If these are your secret desires, you're even more boring than I thought." Aw, boys. Sam's powers come with an unexpected side effect they both have to deal with. Lovely. (wincest)
Like you used to do by
kathickersreally lovely look at girl!Sam, growing up and circling away and then back to Dean, always back to Dean. I enjoyed this a lot. The line's getting shorter and she starts getting butterflies in her tummy. She thinks about going to play on the swings instead, but Dean had told her that tummy butterflies only flutter when they can't breathe, and if she just takes a few big breaths, they'll settle down and go back to sleep. She takes four big breaths before it's her turn to climb the ladder. (girl!Sam/Dean)
others can pick and choose if you can't by
ephemerallIt scares her sometimes how little she can get enough of Dean, and it terrifies her to think about what that means for the rest of her life. Lovely bit of girl!Sam/Dean, just prior to her leaving for Stanford.
Outside the Storm by
vanillafluffySam and Dean come down with the flu, and John isn't quite sure how to deal. Lovely look at the boys when they're young that also ties into the larger world of the show.
Sam's Best Friends He Doesn't Know About by
clex_monkie89It's lovely to think about all the people Sam's helped helping him out in their own ways, while he's at Stanford.
Shop Life by
infraredphaetonJack is the cool older uncle that Darryl never had, has been since he'd skulked his way into Jack's shop at the age of thirteen, totally determined that whatever had killed his aunt sure as shit wasn't gonna kill his little brother. Jack'd taken one look at him, raised an eyebrow, and said, matter of fact, "werewolf?" Cool outsider POV futurefic. Ignore the dialogue formatting issues.
so many of them by
velvetine01Soft, slow, lovely first time fic. (Wincest, rated R, but I think it's a pg-13 at most)
This Is How It Is by
cofax7Time moves forward. Some things change: other things don't. That's how life is, when the world doesn't end. Oh, I needed that after 4.21. Sam and Dean, after it's all over, finding each other again. Oh, boys...
Walking Backwards by
paxluxAll the traveling without hunting makes Sam nervous. As if he's guilty of shirking something. As if he's forgotten something. As if he's forgetting. Achingly gorgeous look at Sam on the road as he makes his way to Stanford.
with chains upon my feet by
velvetine01Dean doesn't remember when Sammy got this beautiful. He could swear it was an overnight occurrence, like she went to bed a lanky teenaged girl with flat hair and a flatter chest, and woke up with more curves than a coke bottle and a silently defiant expression plastered on the stricter lines of her face. The soft, babyish curve of her jaw turned razor sharp like her cheekbones, the slow slope of her brow set with in permanent concentration are all new, are all damningly pretty in their own way. Sharp, achy girl!Sam/Dean UST.
With Wandering Steps and Slow by
patita_fea"Why'd you come to me?" / "Because I thought you would let me." / "And if I hadn't?" / Anna takes a moment before she answers. "I never thought it through that far." / Dean rolls his eyes in disgust. Achingly lovely look at Dean in the aftermath, from Anna's POV.
you and me and the pillows make three by
wanttobeatreeBecause pillow forts are ALWAYS the right answer, even when you're dealing with the apocalypse. Aw, boys.
