The Night You Came into my Life, Well, it Took the Bones of Me by

tremblings NC-17 This is my favorite fic in the SPN fandom so far. It’s funny, oh god funny, and the Dean-voice is so right, so perfectly true. It’s also a glorious riff on one of my favorite X-Files episodes and it features awkward and utterly endearing first time sex. This is the bar, people.

Bad Blood by

astolat NC-17 Okay, second favorite fic in the fandom to date. If you don’t rupture your spleen reading this, clearly your internal organs are made of titanium. "Dude, we didn't see so much as a light on the road for the last two hours since we got off the highway," Sam said. "Never mind how we'd actually get someone to go for it. Fuck me or I'm going to die isn't the world's best pickup line."

Accidents will Happen by

holli gen OMG OMG OMG This is about the best thing I think I’ve ever read. Some goth teens accidentally resurrect John from the dead and hijinks ensue. The narrative voice in this piece is beyond priceless. So many times Ocs fall flat or are just annoying. Not so here. I wanna meet these kids. They crack me up like nobody’s business.

You Never Had it So by

mandysbitch NC-17 This is told in second person, which can be super-annoying, but which works so well here. The pacing is excellent, so that by the time you finally reach the gut-puncher of a final paragraph, it leaves you shocked and breathless. And maybe crying. Or wringing your hands.

Do My Talking by

teand Genfic (but you can totally squint some Wincest in) Sam and Dean talk after the events of “Born Under a Bad Sign.” This fic is pretty much all dialogue and the author gets the voices just right.

Tiny A’s All in a Row by

jwynn This is really a gen piece, but you can squint and make it Wincest if you like. I don’t want to give away the plot, so just trust me. It’s a goodie.

Every Line is the Second Last by

kat_lair NC-17 “Please, Dean. Please,” The words shatter against his skin, brittle and hesitant, as Sam works his way up. Dean grapples for purchase, sheets crumbling underneath him, the need to get closer sudden and overwhelming. He doesn’t understand why Sam’s asking for something that is already his, nor does he want to. Dean’s never been the one to draw the lines, so it makes a weird kind of sense that he’s not the one crossing them either.

Down to the End ‘Verse by

esorlehcar NC-17 Alternating POVs This series is brilliant. It’s everything I want in a Sam/Dean story. It’s needy and angsty and hot and possessive—about fitting and belonging and gah. Never letting go. Just an amazing read.

Normal by

tabaqui Sam/Dean PG-13 Sometimes Dean wonders what would have been. If their life had been normal - if demons weren't real. It's no good looking at Sam. Sammy's always been a chameleon, able to slip into any space or place or conversation - give 'em the big smile and the aw-shucks duck of the head and the old men pat his shoulder, the old ladies give him candy. It's his face, Dean thinks, which is open and smiling and concerned when really - Sam's none of those.

A Mount Rushmore For Assassins by

tripoli8 Dean-centric 5 things fic; It’s a gen piece, but Dean’s fierce, protective love for Sam is in the foreground. The third vignette is as close to perfect as anything I’ve seen in any fandom.

Full Moon by

tabaqui Gen, rated G. This is so short, but packed with such a punch. It’s the boys in the car, road stretched out forever before them and the night sky, so big and bright. This’ll make your eyes prick with those happy tears.

Brightness Falls from the Air by

tabaqui Gen, rated G. When it's almost over, what do each of the Winchesters think of? Dean is yanking his arm - pointing - and John looks. Watches the firework flare and fade while three more climb beneath it - explode like chrysanthemums of blue and green and violet. "I wanna see 'em from the top of the Ferris Wheel!" Sam says, tugging John another way and John obediently goes, palm to sticky palm with Dean. Sam's hands are wholly occupied by the giant stuffed dog John won at the shooting gallery. It only took him two dollars to figure out the screwed-up sights and correct his aim, and Dean has a bandana tied around each knee - Metallica and Led Zeppelin and John has to shake his head at the juxtaposition.

Dean Gets it Where He Can Adult by

ethrosdemon Dean prefers a very particular kind of sex, and by coincidence, so does Sam.

A Cat Without Whiskers by

tremblings Adult Dean is struck with the inability to self-censor. This is funny, but also really tender—a vulnerable Dean makes me all melty.

I Want to Carry Your Luggage until My Shoulders Ache and its sequel I Want to Walk You to the the Stairs and Maybe the Top by

flipmontigirl Adult Little slices of Sam and Dean’s lives since the series began. This feels fragmented, just the bits of a multifaceted thing that shines when light hits it—in other words, lovely.

RPS

What Would Dean Do? by

1ightning Adult This is RPS just the way I like it, with tons of references to the show and their characters. Dean finds himself in a very SPN kinda situation and draws on Dean’s knowledge to deal.

By the Letter by

winterlive Adult Jensen finds a playlist on Jared’s IPOD with his name on it and all the songs are about sex. What’s going on? This description sounds like the fic is just PWP, but it’s not. The sex is hot, but it’s also about discovery and a friendship blossoming into more. Love love love love first-time fic

Storm Coming On by

winterlive Adult (there’s a bit of Chris Kane/Jensen in the beginning) Jared breaks up with his girlfriend and Jensen helps him deal. The two of them keep falling asleep on the couch together which makes me squeeeeeeee and *happysigh* Again, a first time fic
