Sunshine State by innie_darling; SPN; Sam/OMC, Sam/OFCs, Sam/Jess; Adult
Wow. This is a Stanford story, and it is so richly crafted, so wonderfully layered. This version of Sam is one that I very much buy and the cast of original characters that surrounds him feel as real and as multi-dimensional as he does (no mean feat). Its sequel is Dean/OMC, and my only complaint is that the damn thing ended. LOL

So Wise We Grow by captanddeaster; Trek 2009; Spock/Kirk; Adult; Warning: non-graphic allusions to child abuse
I kept forgetting while I was reading this that this isn't canon. LOL I was so immersed and engrossed in the story that when it was over, I had to remind myself that none of this actually happened. The author of this story has a real gift for voice, and not just character voice, but the accompanying narrative voice that surrounds each POV character. It's really hard, IMO, to switch back and forth between characters with very distinctive voices and have it read this effortlessly. I think that the premise of the story (Spock and Kirk adopt a child together) was handled very plausibly, and I really like the exploration of how Vulcan society might radically change in the aftermath of the disaster. Go read! Shoo.

You need to read this. It's an SPN AU where John is the one who dies and Mary ends up raising the boys, and Dean channels his physicality into (wait for it)... dance. He goes to Julliard! And still finds time to exorcise ghosts. Pure awesome.
