Two Sam and Dean stories I truly enjoyed reading last night.


Fall Until You Hit Bottom, by geminigrl11
( PG, Dean & Sam)
An intense scene between Sam and Dean, just before Dean's one year deal is expiring.  This was very raw and not pulling punches.



Like a wheel, by ms_jvh_shuh
(Gen, Sam, Dean, the Impala)
What happens after Dean's deal comes to fruition, so to speak? What does Sam do?
I LOVE this answer/idea. The image of it. It reminded me of Dean's "I'll march into Hell myself" at the end of S1. And a tiny but great mention of John, too.

I thought the f-list was strangely quiet, but with the holidays incoming, although it was a bit early..and then I discovered THIS:

technosage multifandom p0rn-paragraph-a-thon, HERE.

You people. I'm so proud of you all *G*

*goes read*

In Nomine Patris by fleshflutter, part 1 and part 2

12.000 plus words of Dean's twisted love for John and his need of approval, 12.000 plus words of Bobby being there and seeing it all.
12.000 plus quite glorious words, imo.

A great John - larger than life, as he is, and not there so much as there, always - a Sam that's Sam, strong and different - an interaction with canon that makes this story coexist with it perfectly.

There's some Dean/Bobby, a warning for the squeamish, but it's much more important and story relevant that a simple / between two names. It's relationships, and how fucked up they are, can be, will be if you let them.

He doesn’t like admitting it but it makes a cruel kind of sense to Bobby too: if you’ve got two Winchesters, you need one of ‘em to be Dean or you’ve got a fight on your hands

It's a story worth reading, whatever your preferences in the fandom.

Gen fiction.
John and Dean meet another kind of evil during a hunt. Zillah has a vivid touch with her writing, brushing on family, and evil, and canon. Enjoy.

Sustenance, by iamstealthyone

I have a thing for food. You know, survival and all ;)
But really, I have a thing for food, not in that 'I'n a connoisseur' way, at all, but in that 'oh look! It looks gorgeous!' and 'wow, can I have more' and the colors and the quantity of it - like, a slice of cake should be a proper slice of cake, not a thin, frail, transparent pitiful thing, especially when you pay a lot for it *looks at the local Starbuck*....sooooo, Winchesters and food? Possibly a kink, and not in the sexual way, more of an interest. As in, how did John deal with feeding his boys? How about a stubborn Sammy closing his mouth to his veggies? Dean coming up with burgers for breakfast - like most kids would, and so on?

A long introduction to say that I liked the story above, and its peeking into Winchesters and food, moving from a light tone to a more serious one. Mary, John, Sam, Jess, and Dean. Enjoy.

ETA: and yes, avoiding the f-list until I've watched the latest SPN episode.

Body of work, by smilla02
John Winchester. Naked. Beautiful writing. There is not even sex! Who needs it! Go read. Make me happy.

Spider Bites On All Your Lovers, by untrue_accounts
Het, NC-17, Dean/Crossroads Demon
HERE

This...this is being inside a demon's head, and being hungry, and eating bits of Dean's soul, morsel by juicy morsel. A true NC-17, meaning that's not
just the acts being graphically described, but what goes with them. Inside. Where we don't want to look, where we can't bear to look.
As I wrote in my comment to the story, I don't think I've seen Dean this 'naked' in a story yet.
Yes, I totally loved it, hence the enthusiasm. Hope you'll like it too.

It's the Winchester men, all three of them, the ways in which they are tied to each other, connected, the power they have on one another, the entangled emotions they feel...a very powerful songvid. I'm particularly receptive to the bond between John and Dean, and I see it here depicted very strongly, from childhood to adulthood to and beyond death...but it's also Sam's songvid.
Go watch :)

Doing the all 'avoiding F-list in case of blatant SPN spoilers' thing today (until the ep is done DLing that is), but in the meantime...

Thought of the day...
The Devil may well be wearing Prada,
but the YED is wearing John Winchester...


SPN rec:
Six Ways the Demon Won, by _audrey and monkeycrackmary
It's clever and funny and heartbreaking, all in one. What images and text combined can do :)

-----------

Off to a tangent...I like House. I do. I've been a Hugh Laurie fan since Blackadder, through Jeeves and Wooster and even that Little mouse thing. But I can barely bear watching it, because medicine? Doesn't work like that. They don't get to save the patient miracoulosly at the last moment every single fucking time. Yes, it's just a TV show, and it's no one's fault, really, and it's me being hyper sensitive to the issue, but when you have a dear one seriously ill, damn...watching House tears you apart, because medicine is not miracolous like that, and because they only cure what can already be cured.

Talking about cognitive dissonance and jarring of disbelief...

I assume that you all know what the Plastic!Winchesters Theatre by anteka is...but just in case, here's the SuperWiki* entry, courtesy of missyjack:

Plastic Winchesters Theatre by anteka

In particular, Episode Twenty is an episode that all Plastic!John Winchesters fans will surely enjoy *g* It's not John's only appearance in the Plastic Theatre, but it's one I particularly appreciate and find very amusing.

Episode Twenty, Series one


* and evergrateful thanks to angstslashhope for giving us the SuperWiki in the first place :D
