[goshen-applecrumbledore]

All Things Considered by sonofabiscuit77 is a great outsider POV, post Bobby finding out about wincest fic. One of my all time faves

reading this now! I think I have read their stuff before. I looooove Bobby finding out, as you may know

[fictionallemons]

J2 Fic Rec: all-time faves

These are my favorite of my favorites, as of today, in no particular order. All on AO3. Enjoy!

Yours by Any Other Name by Nyxocity: 3491 words, the first J2 fic I read that made me a fan for life. Non-AU, character bleed. Jensen gets jealous after watching Jared make out with an actress on set most of the day. Jensen then proceeds to show Jared he belongs to Jensen no matter who he is--especially if he's Dean Winchester.

What You Should Know by sonofabiscuit77: 16412 words, amazing AU with so many gorgeous feels. Jared is a mechanic in a small Texan town with a big secret. Jensen, a Staff Sergeant in the Marine Corps, is that secret.

Full Service Firm by rivkat: 11881 words, maybe my actual favorite J2 fic of all time. AU and extremely hot but with the most satisfying ending. Jared thinks Jensen’s a sex worker and Jensen just goes with it, for...reasons.

I Kind of Liked It Your Way by Chash: 10027 words, I love a good virgin story, and it’s a college setting, to boot. Chad gets Jared a hooker for his birthday, assuming (probably rightly) that Jared will never manage to get laid on his own.

we're still more in love than you think we are by forallthewords: 24824 words, one of the best high school J2 stories there is, and I’ve read A LOT of them. Jensen Ackles is not perfect. The thing about Jared is he never wanted him to be.

Homework verse by Nyxocity: 200K, 10 works, every story deepens the relationship. Toppy!Teacher!Jensen in glasses and Student!Jared.

Screw You, We're From Texas by makeit_takeit: 74894 words. Angsty but amazing J2 roommates-to-friends-to-lovers with lots of Texas culture. This is what could have happened if fate twisted differently, if they never got those big Hollywood breaks and instead ended up living the lives they grew up expecting to lead. More or less.

One Small Step series by sandymg: 62,750, 3 works, made me think a lot about space. Jared has had a secret crush for months. But it’s not like publishing genius and gay activist Jensen Ackles is going to notice the tall, weird guy pushing the mail cart.

I just realized that for some reason there is no coffee shop au on this list, so here’s mine: Worth the Wait by fictionallemons: 6290 words, Jared and Jensen are just two guys who see each other at the coffee shop a few times a week. Jared doesn't flirt with married customers, and Jensen is very married. Until he isn't.

SPN Springfling reveals are up! This was my gift for sonofabiscuit77 ... "There Was Once a Road Through the Woods..." (with apologies to Rudyard Kipling for the title), digital giffery

[thewincestgospel]

Hello. Do you know of any fics where the boys are civilians, like because Mary didn't die so they never become hunters? But they still end up together?

I got you!

Regular Smegular Winchesters

Aftermath by Lichterin Dean gets in a car accident and Sam is a very worried little brother.

Anywhere Road by paxlux The Winchester boys don’t run no other way.

Bitchface No. 5 - There's a new kid in school and Sam is being a bitch, but Dean doesn't see how the two things are related.

Brother by CleverUsernameHere A few months after his 18th birthday, Sam makes the decision to finally reach out to his biological family. He finds he has a mother, Mary and a father named John. He also learns he has a brother named Dean, who he’s encountered before in a very non-brotherly way

Cheat by babybrotherdean  Dean hates that they’re still doing this.

Close Your Eyes  by sonofabiscuit77 There are some relationships so taboo they’re irresistible… After John and Mary break up when Sam is 11, Sam moves away with Mary and his new step-father while Dean stays in Kansas with John. Fast-forward 12 years and John is dead, Sam’s just returned from Europe, and Dean’s gone and married a billionaire and become a male model. As the boys reconnect, Sam becomes increasingly fascinated by this successful, happily-married version of the big brother he barely knows, a fascination that soon turns into an overwhelming mutual obsession.

Counting Bodies Like Sheep by abeautifullie3 Sam D'Eboli is a mobster. Special Agent Dean Winchester is assigned to take him down. Dean's okay with that double entendre...until he isn't. A connection that won't be denied, and secrets revealed, Dean's objective may no longer be the same as the FBI's.

for you as yet by elanorelle AU. Mary lives. Some things change, some things don't, and Dean's just postponing the inevitable.

Happy Families by majesticduxk Human AU. Sam’s a Fed. Dean’s tied up in the crime world. That makes for awkward family dinners. Lots of animosity there that they work through via fucking hard.

Homecoming by sammyatstanford Dean picks Sam up from the airport when he comes home for summer break.

Kings Of The Field by HandsAcrossTheSea “Uh, is that supposed to make me feel better?” “No, but it means you can make jokes with Dean later about how well he handles balls.” Sam isn’t going to dignify that with an answer, not matter how right she is.

Letting The Days Go By by roxymissrose Ever since Dean pushed Sam away and into a normal life, Dean's been spiraling downwards. He's screwing up on the job. He's never gotten over his dad's death. He's not sure he loves his girlfriend anymore. Sam hates his guts and with good reason, what kind of jerk sleeps with their little brother's prom date? He's backslid and fallen off the wagon, he's worrying his mom to death. The problem is he doesn't really remember living this miserable life

[lover lay down] by ephemerall - He hadn’t realized just how much damage he’d done until Sam backed away from a simple touch.  He’d pushed Sam away for what he thought were all the right reasons, but he was only realizing now that he’d maybe gone a step too far, pushed a little too hard.

Picking Up My Shatter World by blackrose_17 At one time Sam and Dean used to be close then one day it all changed and Dean couldn’t stand to be around his nerdy little brother. Sam was sure that Dean realised his more than brotherly love that he carried for Dean and that’s why he hated the very sight of Sam and he vowed to move on from Dean. Enter Jessica Moore who Sam was sure could be the one to help him get over Dean.

Two years later Sam is unhappily married to Jess and the only joy he has in his life is his son Jaden, until his world comes crashing down around him as he learns the truth that his wife has been having an affair with Dean and the little boy he adores might not be his son. After a confrontation that ends with Sam sole parent of his son, he vows to never let anyone hurt him that deeply again. Can Dean make amends for all the hurt he caused Sam in his strange attempt to protect Sam from the feelings that Dean was sure Sam could never feel for him. Can the brothers overcome years of pain and hurt to see the love they was sure would forever be unrequited was returned all along?

Pink (Is My Favorite Crayon) by plirio Sam’s eighteen now. And he’s a ceremony away from being a free agent, a summer away from being a college student. Apparently, that’s all they needed to start this.

Or, in which all Sam wants this summer is Dean. And Dean’s more than happy to provide.

The Psychology of Genetic Sexual Attraction by  sonofabiscuit77 “…50% of of reunions between siblings, or parents and offspring, separated at birth result in obsessive emotions…” This story begins in 2001 in a garage in Palo Alto when 18-year old Stanford student, Sam Sharma plucks up the courage to ask car mechanic, Dean Cooper, out for a cup of coffee.   Their attraction is instantaneous and overwhelming, and the relationship that develops seems perfect.  Except nothing is really perfect, and this particular love story started a long time before Sam and Dean even met.  Wincest non-hunting AU. This is my attempt at a boys-don’t-know-they’re-brothers story.

Saving Himself by jessie_cristo Sam (17) and Dean (21) got to grow up with their Mom & Dad in their lives; like a normal family. Even if they didn’t grow up in each other’s pockets, alone and always on the move… they are still soulmates. That fact had made them close growing up, but Sam has turned into a typical angsty teen and has been pushing Dean away for the past year. Dean had attributed it to Sam being a brat, but he finds out in one momentous night that his Sammy is no longer a little kid.

A Thousand Miles to Get There by alakewood Dean's not quite sure when it happened, but somewhere along the line he and Sam started messing around – it started with chaste kisses and graduated to more physical expressions of their desire. And, at some point, he fell in love with his little brother. Now, while on a cross-country roadtrip with his family, in the deceptive privacy of their RV, Dean has to prove to Sam that going away to college isn't going to change how he feels.

The Winchester Family by ashwitch AU where the Winchester family runs a city, a plotbunny I couldn't get out of my head after seeing the 300th episode photoshoot

Verses Like Yours and Mine by rivers_bend Sam and Dean are regular brothers--no hunting, no demons--who fall in love anyway.

John + SamDean Fic Rec

It can be hard to find a good canon characterized John fic, especially for Sam and Dean or gencest/wincest. So here are some fics I've read that I think characterize John the way he was written in the show.

Includes both Sam & Dean, gencest, and wincest.

Gencest. 1.1k. Lebanon Coda. Outsider POV. Angst.

He wasn’t going to say anything more about it. He could tell, Dean was happy to see him, but wasn’t going to humor this topic. Dean, young Dean would jump to obey John, to answer John’s questions, but this was an older Dean who was more loyal to someone else now. More loyal to his brother. John wasn’t the priority here, and he realized with another guilty jump in his stomach that he never should have been.

Exile by themegalosaurus

Gen. 2.5k. Preseries. Angst.

"Sometimes when I was, when I was away, you know it wasn't cause I just ran out, right? Dad would, he would send me away, when I really pissed him off. I think you knew that."

Insects by reggie

Shadows on the Sun by Linden

Mature. 4.6k.

The first time Dean Winchester kissed his brother, he was twenty years old and in a sewer twelve feet below the Bronx, ankle-deep in fetid water with a thoroughly harpooned, thoroughly dead monster leaking blood and entrails at his feet.

Yeah. He was pretty sure he couldn't have made that more awkward if he'd tried.

Devil to Dance by Linden

Explicit. 4.4k.

By the time they met their dad at the curb outside of Jack’s flophouse in the grey glow of an early, early morning, duffels over their shoulders and another hunt on the horizon, Sam hadn't spoken to him for four days.

Pairing: Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester

~

Title and Author: In Arcadia Ego by glasslogic

Summary: Sam is the only child of the great hunter John Winchester, but life under his father's thumb is miserable for him. When a scholarship gives him the chance to escape to college, he seizes the opportunity to leave the grim world of hunting behind for the promise of a normal life. But when the same unknown creature that killed his mother year’s earlier murders his fiancée, Sam, embittered and heartsick, returns to his father’s side. John seems strangely reluctant to have him there though, and soon Sam is hunting on his own. While stalking vampires in the central states, he is forced to strike a deal with one to save the lives of hostages. Now, torn between a hunting community that’s shut him out and a vampire that enjoys inflicting pain, his father missing, and innocent lives over his head, Sam finds that simple survival might be more than he can manage, and there are even darker things looming on the horizon…

Word Count: 34k

Status: Epic

Notes: A morally gray vampire Dean who wants to kill everyone but Sam? What more could you want from a fic?

~

Title and Author: Treasure by sonofabiscuit77

Summary: It’s 2018 and the human race is almost extinct, wiped out by a mutant threat not even the angels saw coming. Sam and Dean live on a military compound, one of the only human communities left still fighting for survival. Dean is one of the military leaders, dedicated to wasting as many of the mutants he can, while Sam, permanently injured and confined to the base, is desperately searching for the answer that will save what’s left of humanity, and finally bring both boys the peace they crave.

Spoilers up to ep6-18. Future-fic. This goes au from ep6-19.

Word Count: 48k

Status: Multi-Chapter, Complete

Notes: I highly recommend this read if you’re a fan of apocalyptic stuff, there’s great world-building and also creepy creatures that you wouldn’t want to be within ten feet of.

Title and Author: Courting Death by theproblematique

Summary: Sam Winchester lived the first six months of his life in a happy family; the next twelve years as John Winchester's only son, and the last decade as an orphan. He's supposed to die at twenty-two trying to save the woman he loves from a fire, because he doesn't have a brother to pull him back. But the night Sam meets his Reaper he discovers that Death is overly fond of pop-culture references, too beautiful to be real, and reluctant to kill him.

Word Count: 50k

Status: Multi-Chapter, Complete

Notes: Fair warning, you’re going to see quite a few of this author’s fics on this rec list because I just can't get enough of their work! This is an interesting take on how the series of events in canon could’ve changed due to one small change on the night when Azazel visited Sam’s nursery. Sort of a meet-ugly because Sam has to be dying or dead to see him, lol.

~

Title and Author: On Your Guard by theproblematique

Summary: After the existence of the supernatural became common knowledge, the general public turned to hunters for answers. This group of unsung heroes, who had lived in the shadows for so long, was thrust into superstardom overnight and looked to for safety above all else. Among them, no hunter was more famous than Dean Winchester: a fan-favorite American icon who helped banish all demons from Earth.

His mysterious younger brother, however, had been absent from the public eye for years.

Word Count: 97k

Status: Multi-Chapter, Complete

Notes: This fic takes canon and gives it a cool twist by making the general public aware of what lurks in the dark after the whole debacle with Hell’s Gate and, as a result, hunters are also dragged into the spotlight.

~

Title and Author: Catching Hell by ADeedWithoutaName

Summary: Sam Winchester is, perhaps, the greatest asset to the hunting community. His research, advice, and insight has reached countless hunters and solved innumerable mysteries. His life is solitary, but useful. That changes, however, with the delivery of a captured Knight of Hell who calls himself Dean.

Notes: This is a Demon Dean fic that I absolutely adore! In this AU, I don’t believe Sam and Dean are related, but that by no means takes away from the classic Sam and Dean interactions that we all love.

A few personal thoughts on the Samdean shipper survey results (which overall I very much enjoyed reading):

1. Season 2 supremacy :))))

2. I'm just a little surprised at how many more fans favor Sam than Dean, but there are a few things it has me considering: 1) this is only a snapshot of Wincest fandom at this point in time and I seriously doubt this was the case in the early days. Obviously once D*stiel became so big it drained a lot of Dean fans off into that ship. This is very specifically people involved in fandom in the post-finale era, and I wonder if Dean's death may have been a further drain on Dean-fan engagement. And 2) sample bias, maybe? The survey did get a lot of results, but considering it was made by a Sam stan and circulated heavily among other such blogs, I wondered whether that would skew results. Of course it's impossible to say. And 3) not sure if this is, again, sort of an accident of timing (with many Dean stans disliking the finale) but it seems to me like Wincest tumblr itself is surprisingly Sam-leaning and I'm curious whether that really reflects the wider Wincest fandom (I don't say Bibro b/c to me, you have to love both to be a Bibro) or whether they've naturally migrated towards each other on this particular platform and are therefore over-represented here. I have no idea what twitter or discord fandom is like. Finally 4) I'm REALLY curious to know how different it would look if Sam and Dean equally had been an option. I'm guessing that most people only favor one brother very slightly (me!) and might rather choose that, or do genuinely love both the same. I would guess that Sam and Dean together would receive nearly as many votes as either separately--but maybe not! Maybe stan mentality has permeated fandom too much :\

3. It would be really interesting to see how favorite character lines up with top/bottom preference. I think I'm an outlier in that I prefer my fave (Dean) as a top 😳(not a stickler about it though)

4. Now for just a little salt lol: guess my fandom annoyance answer got subsumed into sam v. dean drama, which I'm surprised didn't get more answers tbh. Never saw dean negativity named as an annoyance but saw dean negativity itself in the answers...🙄 The man is far from perfect but wow am I ever tired of seeing the word "abuse" thrown around (I mean I expected to see it, and it was just a couple answers but I still had to read 'em lol. Sometimes I wish I'd never dipped my toe into this fandom so I would still be blissfully ignorant of this take). Also if I had done that survey more recently I think I would have had more to say, I've sort of just recently put my finger on some fandom trends I don't like. I don't wanna go into detail but... suffice to say I think a lot of things some (especially younger?) Sam stans are very into, I am not into. Love Sam a lot, but often just don't vibe with the sort of headcanons or takes his stans push, and it's why I unfollowed some stan blogs a while back. Feel much happier now in my Bibro/Wincest/Platonic Weird Brothers corner 😌(All love to you if you favor Sam, no skin off my back. It's not the fact of favoring Sam that I dislike, it's more to do with other tastes that somehow seem associated and circulated heavily among certain blogs, but aren't common to all Sam fans. Safe to say if you're in my notes regularly this doesn't apply to you)

5. Okay finally to end on some positivity, I'm happy to get such a long fic rec list and felt inspired to share a few of my fave Wincest authors, along with stellar fics of theirs. Just the first ones that come to mind:

Dyed_Red--Squint into the Sunset | Glare into the Gloaming lovetincture--Collision Course Morgan--Midwinter Montana sonofabiscuit77--A Life Most Ordinary (all their AUs are great) thecapn--Baba O'Riley and Eleanor Rigby walk into a bar (their AUs are also great) killabeez--Carry Me Over the Sky (one of my first fandom faves!)

The guy's awake, but he isn't much more responsive than the kids are. He answers any direct question with something akin to confusion, and still the only word he says is "Sam."

What Remains by Merrin

In Jefferson, Texas a man ends a generations-old curse and saves all the town's children, but completely loses his memory in the process. When it's discovered that he's a wanted criminal, the town comes together to conceal him out of gratitude for what he's done for them, giving him an apartment, a job and a whole new life. It takes seven months for Sam to find Dean, and when he finally does, he has to adapt to being around a man who has no idea that he used to be Sam's brother.

Winchester 8th Wedding Anniversary--Day 5

I have 3 recommendations for domestic fics set in the later seasons (please note that these are all Wincest):

To Woo a Loved One by majesticduxk, 2976 words, set in S8, A/B/O (alpha!Sam, omega!Dean).   Moving into the bunker changed life for the Winchesters in all sorts of ways. Happily, they were all good.

One Thousand and One Mornings (and One Eternal Day) by phoenixflight, 5536 words, set between 15.19 Inherit the Earth and 15.20 Carry On.   After the war with Chuck is over, there is a morning. And another, and another. This is what it means to be free.

You and Me, Babe, How About It? by sonofabiscuit77, 5074 words, set after 15.20 Carry On.   Sam and Dean enjoy heaven together. Dean thinks a lot. There is no plot.

Enjoy!
