Read Any Good Fic Lately?

Recs: SPN (Wings and wonder)

So, the writing thing is just not happening (due to long and convoluted quantum theories involving stress and work and the fact that when it's autumn-lovely I have a hard time sitting still for five minutes when I'd rather be planting pansies.)

but the upside to not writing is that I'm reading like a mad thing, both new stuff and from the months of backed up tags to revisit.

It's becoming apparent that I should just leave a permanent rec spot open for gekizetsu (Aka eighth-horizon, since she pretty much rocks my socks with everything she writes.

Ya'll know I have a wing kink, right? Thought so. Ergo, when I woke up this morning to Three Point Landing, I was kind of ridiculously happy. It wasn't written for me, but it so was. Elementals, Halloween, and not really Wincest as much as wing-cest. It's amazingly edge-of-your-seat gripping and while it's really not Dean/Sam, it kind of is. Leave it to gekizetsu to fill in those minute cracks of fannish genre. (Gen. R for language.)

And then there is follow-midnight's somwhere i have never traveled which was written based on some prompts I gave and is lyrically wonderfully. It's got a light touch on the underage aspect of a Sam/Dean spin which I was comfortable enough reading when usually I'm not (which says a great deal about 's apparently natural light touch style), and the rest of it is framed and beautiful, poignant and bittersweet. (Slash, R)


In My time of Dying left a lot of us flailing and waiting to see how John's death will play out. My brain did not immediately go to comfort sex on the slash side of the fandom but luckily for all of us, merepersiflage's brain did and she gives us the hot and painful After Tomorrow which played subtlely to something that a lot of post IMOTD fics missed (IMO); the fact that Sam's the only one who remembers all (or most) of what happened in the hospital. Dean is bitter and angrily caught up in his grief and Sam is too, and the anger can't be shared but the grief can, even if Sam has to fight Dean to do it. Beautiful and the last line kicked me in the heart. (NC17, slash)


Read, enjoy, comment.
