Holly, Ivy, Mistletoe by queenclu Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 10,756 | Archive: AO3 Tags: Stanford era, canon divergent

It’s a week before Christmas, and Dean is at Stanford hoping for one more impossible thing.

Why am I reccing? One word - Stanford. Okay, two more words - ugly sweaters. They’re mistaken for boyfriends because Sam hasn’t talked about his family (ouch) and everyone can see the looks they give each other (ofc). Hilarious, angsty and yes, great dorm sex.

Better Homes And Gardens by chickcheney  Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 14,767 | Archive: AO3 Tags: cursed!dean, not-a-curtain fic

After getting whammied on a hunt, Dean wakes up a househusband in Lawrence married to his little brother. Trapped in this world where down is up and up is completely fucked, Dean desperately tries to figure out a way to get back to a world that makes sense without completely losing his mind in the process. Featuring: spice gardens, bridge clubs, and the power of incestuous, gay love.

Why am I reccing? Dean dodging Sam’s advances and playing bridge with Meg in this dream world that was created by a witch’s curse. I’m crying.

Luna de Miel, by theproblematique  Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~54k | Archive: AO3 | Tags: casefic, agent!dean, agent!sam

Supernatural Agents Sam and Dean Winchester are sent to investigate a prominent law firm with suspected werewolf activity. It's supposed to be an easy case since Sam's new to the job, and Dean has been assured that they are just doing reconnaissance. The first complication is the senior partner's assumption that they are married, not related. The second is that they know jack squat about navigating office politics. The third is that werewolves may not be the only supernatural creatures here. And the fourth... is the same as the first; Dean just feels that it bears repeating.

Why am I reccing? Casefic! With the boys mistaken as a couple! Supernatural department (douchey, but the douchey-level is acceptable. Except for Gordon, but IC there, so)! And more pining you can shake a stick at. 

Someone else's blood, by sevenfists Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~6,8k | Archive: Lj | Tags: fake!boyfriends, brothers with benefits, casefic

The first time, of course, was an accident. It wasn't Dean's fault. The girl was ridiculously fucking hot—tits busting out of her low-cut top, gloss-pink mouth pouting slightly and parting as she looked Dean up and down—but no way in hell was she eighteen, and Dean preferred his pussy legal. He squared out his shoulders and tried to keep his eyes from wandering down to where he could see the lace trim of her bra. It was bright red. "You just need a single for the night?" the girl purred, and licked her lips. Dean glanced out the window to the parking lot, where Sam was slouched in the front seat of the car, scowling at Dad's journal. "No," he said.

Why am I reccing? Because sometimes often I need a goold ol’ trope plunged deep in the early seasons. Just the boys, a monster to torch, and feelings.

Stigmata by jenshih_blue Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 42,340 | Archive: AO3 Tags: hurt!jared, protective!jensen, possessed!jared

Jared Padalecki is a tattoo artist in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania living a carefree party life until a twist of fate makes him a messenger of God-a God he wants no part of nor believes in either. Father Jensen Ackles is a priest and a scientist, who after years of disproving miracles across the world is jaded. When their worlds clash, they find themselves faced with a truth that will either destroy them or unite them in a way neither expected.

Why I’m reccing? Ignore the plot holes from the original film. This fic is well written and with Jared with his tattoos and magenta-streaked hair and Jensen as a priest? I would fork over hundreds of dollars at the theaters to see those two.

At My Feet, Eternity… by tabaqui Pairing: J2 | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 11,945 | Archive: AO3 Tags: minor character deaths, suicide mentions

AU based on the book/movie ‘The Swiss Family Robinson’.

Why I’m reccing? Honestly, I planned to rec a rom com movie remake but this fic of a Disney movie really grabbed me (ugh, Jensen shaving off Jared’s beard - YES). Beautifully written and heartbreaking during the first part, and J2 meant to be at the end.

Dean Winchester’s rules for the road, by selecasharp Pairing: Sam/Dean | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~16,8k | Archive: Lj Tags: humor, mutual pining, casefic, zombies

If there’s one thing Dean’s learned, it’s that there are rules you have to follow in order to survive. But while hunting zombies on an island off the coast of Georgia, he’s forced to reexamine what might be the (second) most important rule of all. 

Why am I reccing? This is based on Zombieland. There’s mutual pining (dear old trope of mine, let me love you), humor, a case, and it’s based on Zombieland. I mean. Zombieland. I was sold the moment I saw the combo pairing+movie adaptation+author tbh. (Zombielaaaaaaaand)

Where you want to go, by keep_waking_up Pairing: J2 | rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~20k | Archive: Lj Tags: enemies to lovers, post-apocalypse

Everyone wanted to be the Alice.  To have a chance to spend a year in Wonderland and potentially save their kingdom.  If they were the True Alice, then they would be able to stay in Wonderland forever.  If not, at the end of a year, the Jabberwock would devour them whole. Jensen never expected to be chosen to be the Alice.  But he was.  And even as he tries to fit in to his new role, he begins to feel all is not quite right in Wonderland.  One overheard conversation will lead him down a twisting path in search of the truth.  He’ll have to deal with the flirty Queen of Hearts Danneel, the baffling Caterpillar Misha, as well as his reluctant partner in crime, the surly Cheshire Cat Jared, who Jensen just might have feelings for.

Why am I reccing? Post-apocalyptic/vague dystopian Alice in Wonderland AU. It’s one of the best things ever, let me tell you. I adored the feeling and the plot, but the idea behind it? So, so clever. 

[womenofrecs]

Hmmm, tags can be terrible spoilers when it comes to plot twists and for these kind of fics, it ruins all the fun. Soooo, be prepared.

Bend My Finger Back by viviansface Pairing: Wincest | Rating: R | Wordcount: 11.5k | Archive: LJ Tags: no supernatural AU, mental illness, Dean POV

Dean is only seventeen when he hits his lowest, losing his mother in a fire. After that, his family seems to fall apart – his father is suddenly distant, and between therapy sessions and trying to struggle through each day, Dean and his brother Sam grow apart as well, even though they used to be more than close before the fire. It takes Dean two years to grow tired of this and decide to do something about his life for once… but there’s no telling whether his decisions are the right ones and whether they will eventually lead to the happiness he desires.

Why am I reccing? So beautifully written. Your heart breaks for Dean, such a beautiful and lonely victim to whatever happened. You think you know what the deal is but that’s only the beginning to how the fic ends. Which is painful.

Wraith by memphis86 Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 4,367 | Archive: LJ Tags: contains some SamxOFC and SamxOMC, non con, possession

And in the end, he’ll suffer just like the rest of us do.

Why am I reccing? So scrunchy and dark. Sam figures out what’s going on but it’s what he does in the end that messes me up.

Hangman is coming from the gallows, by withdiamonds Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~28k | Archive: AO3 Tags: non-con

Today is the last day of Dean Winchester’s life. Today is the last day of Dean Winchester’s life. Today is the last day…

Why am I reccing? So, today is the day Dean’s deal comes through, right? Right. Okay. (I can’t tell you anything more. Just trust me on this)

Arm, by Askance Pairing: Wincest | Rating: R | Wordcount: ~4k | Archive: AO3 Tags: MOC!Dean, second POV, brain damage

Something is happening to Dean’s arm.

Why am I reccing? ‘Something is happening to Dean’s arm’, and ‘look, it’s a solution’. It makes sense while it makes you recoil in horror - the good kind of horror. Plus, Askance is one of the very few authors able to pull off a convincing second POV. I don’t know *how*, but it works. Even too much, jfc.

[womenofrecs]

The Land Of The Blind by candle_beck Pairing: Wincest | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 10,909 | Archive: AO3 Tags: amnesia!sam, post-powers!sam, protective!dean 

Even the post-apocalypse looks good in certain lights. 

Why am I reccing? Everything is so beautifully ambiguous in this fic. Sam is damaged and because it’s his POV, you’re trying to figure out what happened at the same time he is. His one and only constant is Dean, who’s frantic and protective and truly afraid of whatever’s happening. The world may be dying but Dean will always be there for Sam *sigh*.

Treasure by sonofabiscuit77 Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 48,497 | Archive: AO3 Tags: zombies, disabled!sam, protective!dean, dystopia 

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.

Why am I reccing? Sometimes you just want to pull out a big bowl of popcorn and spend the night reading a meaty, well plotted zombie fic. This is a good one - lots of action, terrible odds for success, and the boys hiding their relationship from a camp full of survivors. 

Dictionary for a dead language, by britomart_is Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount:~22k | Archive: Lj Tags: post-endverse, Sam discarded as a vessel, hurt!Sam, protective!Dean, amnesiac!Sam, worried!Dean 

Under mysterious circumstances bitterly disputed by the historians, Sam Winchester said yes to Lucifer. Three years later, Lucifer is gone and the familiar landscape that the Winchesters once traversed is a burnt-out ruin of its former self — not to mention the damage done to Lucifer's vessel. Trapped in a grotesque parody of domestic bliss with a brother he no longer recognizes, a shell-shocked Dean has no reason to believe that happy endings exist for men like the Winchesters.

Why am I reccing? Because I’m a sucker for endverse (post-endverse, whatever) fics with Sam reunited with Dean *cough* and there’s not nearly enough of those *cough* this is as canon divergent as it can get, but it’s so good. And it’s also domestic. Uh. Of sort?

Falls the shadow, by dynamicsymmetry Pairing: Wincest | Rating: R | Wordcount:~6k | Archive: Lj Tags: hurt!sam, hurt!dean, hurt/no comfort, during and post-apocalypse, canon divergence

This is a story that begins in gray and ends in every single color--which means that it ends in black.

Why am I reccing? Did you ever wonder about what would happen if the sun died a slow death? This fic is haunting. Beautiful, a beauty that’s fucking terrifying if you stop for a moment and thinking about it, but haunting.

Symphony In Coffee Tones by nahemaraxe  Pairing: J2 | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: +3.5k | Archive: AO3 (you need to be logged in to read it) Tags:  architect!jensen, barista!jared, amnesiac!jared, powers!jared, hurt!jared, protective jensen

According to Jensen, Jared has two qualities. One, Jared is hot. The pants-dropping, wow sexy, yum baby yum kind of hot. Two, Jared is a terrible barista. Even if Jensen felt like being charitable and understanding and shit, ‘you’re kidding, right?’ would still be an accurate description of Jared’s skills.

Why am I reccing: Jared not remembering Jensen’s order every time is adorable, but then I become so invested in the reason why he can’t remember - which wow, what a reason. (This fic killed me because it reminded me of how real-life Jared gives so much of himself to others and here we see how that impacts fic Jared *heart crack*)

Sings The Streets A Serenade by deirdre_c Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 2.5k | Archive: AO3 Tags: barista!jared, street musician!jensen, shower sex

A gorgeous guy starts singing to Jared. Jared doesn’t know how to respond, except with coffee.

Why am I reccing: I fell in love with this meet-cute fic because it rolled up so much fluff and angst and smut into so few words. Jensen with a guitar and Jared so oblivious - oh my heart.

Eat, drink, love, by raina_at Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 8,6k | Archive: Lj Tags: cynical!Jensen, serialdater!Jared, pining!Jensen, schmoop

Cynical waiter Jensen serves Serial Dater Jared’s row of first dates.

Why am I reccing: I like it when the boys are (not really) nice. Jensen is cynical-bordering-on-assholish, but he’s also smitten by Jared. Jared and his string of disastrous first-dates? Icing on the cake.

Terraform, by gilascave Pairing: J2 | Rating: R | Wordcount: 23k | Archive: Personal site Tags: sci-fi, bartender!Jared, scientist!Jensen (in spaaaaaace)

Jensen works for the Terraformation Department, monitoring a planet almost ready for settlement. Jared is a bartender new to the station, who decides to make Jensen his own personal project. Will he succeed, or is Jared hiding a more sinister purpose? And with Jensen’s own secrets to hide, will it ultimately matter?

Why am I reccing: First of all, SPACE. Then, I was totally expecting your run of the mill cutey thing (in spaaaaaace), and the plot twist caught me by surprise. I’m not gonna tag it to avoid spoilers, but I promise, it’s nothing upsetting. Just– logical.

76 trombones played Gloria Gaynor, by teand Pairing: Wincest | Rating: PG | Wordcount: ~6k | Archive: Lj Tags: crossdressing!Dean, cursed disco ball, Sam in black chaps

“Samson!”

Sam braced for impact as six foot five of Franklin Moore, all time leading scorer in the Pacific Coast Conference, MBA Stanford Business, and the 2006 Volunteer Coordinator for San Francisco’s Gay Pride Parade flung himself into his arms. Rocked back on his heels, he accepted the hug, blocked the grope, and said: “How’s it going, Frank?”

The ex-shooting guard untangled himself, took a step back, and frowned. “Darlin’ boy, what am I wearing?”

Sam glanced down at the toe of the scarlet pumps just visible under a pair of chinos. “Sorry. Francis.”

“Better.” His smile was blinding.

Why am I reccing? Oh my god, this fic is the best. I used not to be a fan of crossdressing!anyone, but Dean in a lime-green halter mini dress made me change my mind. Also, they’re there for a legit case, it’s hilarious as shit, annd John might or might not find out about their budding romance.

And you would be a fool, by badbastion Pairing: Wincest | Rating: R | Wordcount: ~12k | Archive: Lj Tags: drugs use, non-consensual snuggling (from the snuggler part)

Bobby sends Sam and Dean to Mississippi to get a cave wall rubbing in the middle of August. Dean leers at interesting women. Dean gets cursed. Sam gets lots of hugs. Bobby gets them all rick-rolled. It could have been much worse.

Why am I reccing? First of all, I adore (the)badbastion, art and fic both. Top ten, easily. Then, I’m a sucker for non-conventional spins and unusual tropes. Dean being cursed into hugging Sam definitely falls into those categories. 

And The Truth Shall Set You Free by nutkin Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 2,281 | Archive: AO3 Tags: PWP, Blow jobs, dirty talk

Sam gets hit with a truth spell, and Dean decides to do some digging. 

Why am I reccing? Truth spells and first time Wincest - this is pure gold. Dean is such a tease and poor Sam is horrified and then, well, he’s not.

Obedience Spell by wrenseroticlibrary Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: +5K | Archive: tumblr Tags: PWP, Mild dom/sub, blow jobs, dirty talk, anal sex, comeplay, but NOT non-con

Sam gets an obedience spell put on him.  Dean makes the mistake of having some fun with him, and ends up getting a little carried away.

Why am I reccing? This fic starts out funny then dives right into first time Wincest that is so filthy dirty that I held my breath the whole time I read it. GAH.

Wait For Snow by wanttobeatree Pairing: Wincest | Rating: PG | Wordcount: 4,178 | Archive: AO3  Tags: mute!sam, humor, permanent injury, canon divergent AU

After the Apocalypse is averted, the brothers make the best of things. AU from mid-season 4.

Why I’m reccing? This fic walks a perfect balance between brother banter and the kind of devastating injury that Winchesters don’t talk about. Dean cutting Sam’s hair is adorable until you realize why his hair is so long. Because I didn’t need my heart.

Second Sight verse by maygra Pairing: Gen | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 56,484 | Archive: AO3 Tags: some chapters available as gen or slash, blind!sam, psychic!sam, mechanic!dean, John Winchester is still alive, canon divergent AU, minor character death

Sam loses his sight after they track down the demon and the brothers try to get out of hunting. He may be blind, but that doesn’t stop Sam’s visions.

Why I’m reccing? They struggle to be normal, but so much angst from the deaths in Sam’s visions and SO MUCH GUILT because no matter what choice he makes, who he chooses to save, something bad is going to happen.

But the days and nights are long, by sharlot Pairing: Gen | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: ~12.8k | Archive: AO3 Tags: brain damanged! dean, protective!sam, desperate!sam

Dean suffers a traumatic brain injury. Sam tries to save him.

Why am I reccing? Hahahaha, oh god. You know those fics/posts/graphics/whatever that make you yell ‘RUDE’ and ‘HOW DARE YOU’ at the screen? This fic is a prime example of it. I’m not gonna say more, just hold onto something when you reach the ending, okay?

Death’s other kingdom, by faye_darthmouth Pairing: Gen | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: N/A | Archive: Lj  Tags: brain damaged!sam, protective!dean, angst

Life before. Life after. Dean had seen so many turning points. But this one trumped them all. Before Sam fell. Before. And after.

Why am I reccing? Sometimes it doesn’t take the Apocalypse, Lucifer running wild, or a broken wall to fuck things up. Sometimes your run-of-the-mill hunt is more than enough.

These are the things Dean does for his family.

Why I’m reccing? This fic hurts so bad and fills my truck-stop hooker headcanon of Dean making money and filling time after Sam left. He is so broken and yet just keeps going. And turning tricks at Stanford? Like he wants to get caught. Ugh.

Everything I Want is Nothing But You by mickeym Pairing: Wincest, Sam/OMCs | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 12,201 | Archive: AO3 Tags: hooker!sam, raised apart, top!sam, bottom!dean

He swore last winter he wasn’t going to trick any more, but it’s hard to pay the rent on just tending bar.

Why I’m reccing? Sam is alone, turning tricks and bartending, and dreams of someone that is out there looking for him. Enter hunter Dean. Dialogue is perfect and the sex between them *fans self*

Californication, by mona1347 Pairings: Wincest, Sam/OMC | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~2.8k | Archive: Lj Tags: hooker!sam, derogatory language

They're playing that stupid fucking game with the blue rubber ball again in the hallway. The dull yet wall-shaking thump, punctuated by his dorm-mates cheers or groans, would've driven Sam insane if he hadn't grown up in cheap apartment complexes and motels.

Why am I reccing? Two words: Stanford Era. I love S1 like crazy, but Stanford? When the glitter and gold of normal doesn’t really shine, when college and not hunting anymore (ha to the ha) come with a price? Whoa. And past-but-forever-present wincest makes it all sweeter. Pay attention to derogatory language toward trans* people.

God made Boston on a wet Sunday, by balefully Pairings: Wincest, Dean/OMC | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~8.7 | Archive: Lj Tags: pre-series, hooker!dean, teen!sam, gunplay, first time

Sam and Dean live in an apartment in Boston while John is away on a hunt. Money is scarce, so Dean picks up a particularly slutty part-time job. Sam finds out.

Why am I reccing? Sam to the rescue, omg. He doesn’t realize at first what Dean is doing, and he barges in, guns almost blazing. Protective!Sam pushes all my buttons. Plus, there’s awkwardness and fierceness, there’s gunplay, and there’s this ‘there's no one in the world Dean will ever trust the way he trusts Sam’

A Hole Up To The Sky by phoenix1966 Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: | Archive: AO3 Tags: AU, werewolves, alpha/omega dynamics, alpha!jensen, omega!jared, kidnapping, non-con drug use, medical experimentation, dub con, mpreg

Jensen and Jared are werewolves from two different packs who have never met. Werewolves are the only species where a male (Jared, in this case) can get pregnant, and they are both kidnapped by scientists looking to explore this, and forced to mate. They're kept in the same cell until Jared goes into heat and they knot... much to their surprise, they find themselves falling for each other. When Jensen realizes Jared's pregnant, he vows to get them out of there before their pups are born.

Why I’m reccing? Okay, some of you might see mpreg and walk away but I’m telling you - DON’T. Soulmates who discover each other inside a glass cage? Check. Scientists conducting illegal and immoral experiments? Check. Growling protective Jensen doing whatever he can to protect his mate? THAT’S WHAT I’M HERE FOR.

Lovers By A Lonely Mountain by ha5rika Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 22,755 | Archive: AO3 Tags: AU, dragon!jensen, human!jared, hurt!jared, protective!jensen

Come, gather around. Let me tell you the tale of an unlikely love that blossomed on the cliffs of a lonely mountain.

Why I’m reccing? The Tolkien-style language of this is gorgeous, and how can you resist a fairy tale fic where grumpy dragon Jensen is quizzing blushy human Jared about his virginity? These two are mistreated and misunderstood, and are so sweet together.

Missed, by anon Pairing: J2 | Rating: R | Wordcount: N/A | Archive Lj Tags: omega!jared, alpha!jensen, kidnapped!jared, protective!jensen, sensorydeprived!jared, hurt!jared, hurt!jensen, torture, self-harm

Like wolves, weres are very social creatures with omegas being naturally even more so. While laws state that experimenting on weres is just as bad as experimenting on humans, a group of scientists still arranges the kidnapping of omega!Jared and then decide to test how strong his need for contact is. He's kept in complete isolation, not even seeing the people who deliver his food. By the time his mate alpha!Jensen is able to rescue him, he has completely broken down. Jensen is willing to give his mate anything he needs to get better and takes him home to slowly nurse him back to health. Jared will probably be very clingy and require lots of love and cuddles.

Why am I reccing? Peeps, okay. It’s on the kinkmeme, meaning it’s gonna be hard to navigate the entire story. But it’s so worth it. Jared has been kept in total isolation for (suspend disbelief here) a truckload of time, Jensen is worried sick about him but he never gives up. Never ever. Anyway, if the format really gets on your nerves, IM me. I have a pdf.

A world without choices, by stripysock Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~35k Tags: omega!jared, alpha!jensen, forced mating, accidental bonding, hate!sex, trope subversion, dub-con

Jensen and Jared are co-workers at a large company, and they cannot stand one another. When something goes wrong with a heat suppressant though, it looks like they'll have no choice but to fuck each other despite that loathing, and accept all the consequences. It really doesn't mean they have to like it. 

Why am I reccing? TROPE SUBVERSION, YO! I’ve been after something like that for ages, two people whose biology clicks like whoa while they can’t stand each other. Being soulmates is all good and nice in theory, but how would it really work when you’re paired with someone you don’t like? Extra bonus, it has a hopeful ending, and not because of magical dicks.

[womenofrecs]

Do you guys have a list for Wincest where Sam doesn't go to College and they stay with each other?

Hey anon! Here’s three for you. First one is gen - Beneath The Trees verse - but is a classic that brings all the pain of Sam choosing family instead of Stanford. Something There is an AU that has angst with a happy ending. Hope these are what you’re looking for.

Beneath The Trees ‘verse by minviendhaPairing: Gen | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 6,819 | Archive: AO3Tags: Angst, suicidal thoughts, depression

Beneath the Trees, Where Nobody Sees. The fic that started it all. John gives the ultimatum. Sam makes a different choice. As Long as They Please. Sam’s life is very, very empty. Also, Dean gets a girlfriend. It doesn’t work out. (Nothing does.)Catch Them Unawares. The YED would like to talk to Sam. It’s not very effective. Meanwhile, Dean tries to get through to his brother and John is unhelpful. Safer to Stay At Home. Dean and Sam have some Quality Time. Things look up. Maybe.You’d Better Not Go Alone. No one is happy. Sam’s good at pretending. Life goes on. 

Something There by non_tiembo_malaPairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 56,900 | Archive: AO3Tags: Kidnapping, pining, soulmates, Beauty and the Beast style AU

It’s a tale as old as time - there’s an apocalypse looming and Sam and Dean are caught in the middle. Just another day for the Winchesters, except this time Sam’s been kidnapped, leaving Dean to befriend Heaven and fight Hell to get him back.

I Feel Flames Again by fleshflutter Pairing: Wincest | Rating: R | Wordcount: 11,800 | Archive: LJ Tags: Attempted rape, non con touching, emotional manipulation, demon blood addiction, possessive Sam

Following a failed apocalypse, Dean nurses Sam through his addiction to demon’s blood, which has driven Sam to horrific things.

Why I’m reccing? This fic is devastating. Dean is so loyal doing all he can to save his brother, but the things that Sam does and says - daggers through the heart. “He just wants Sam to be okay.” Oh Dean.

Like Swallowing The Sun by intrepidheart Pairing: Wincest, implied Sam/Ruby | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 8,049 | Archive: AO3 Tags: Dark!sam, dark!dean, jealous boys, canon divergent s4, frottage, breathplay, knifeplay, bloodplay (ALL the plays)

Sam isn’t the same after Dean crawls out of his grave. 

Why I’m reccing? Dean is just as dark and warped as Sam as they begin to embrace Sam’s powers, and their mutual jealousy and possessiveness is like icing on my red velvet cake.

Bury my old soul and dance on its grave, by dreamlittleyo Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~2.3k | Archive: AO3 Tags: antichrist!sam, boyking!sam, consort!dean, possessive!sam

Dean knows how far he can push Sam.

Why am I reccing? Because Dreamlittleyo is one of my top fave authors. Because the boyking/consort relationship is just so damn awesome and I really wanted boyking!sam in canon, fuck y’all and the horses of strike you rode in on. Because Dean goading demons and Sam going on a killing spree, all possessive and shit is uhyeah. Because.

Stepford, by ash_carpenter Pairing: Wincest | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: N/A | Archive: Lj Tags: boyking!sam, fake!domestic, dub-con, non-con, lucifer!sam, sam!split-in-two, warped reality

Dean suddenly finds himself living in picture perfect suburbia with his brother. Sam’s alive and happy and everything’s too good to be true…until it starts falling apart. 

Why am I reccing? Oh, I adore fucked up realities. Everything seems right and perfect, then you start noticing details, and bam, you’re caught in a downward spiral. Then it’s all a trainwreck and you have to watch it to the bitter end. Is Sam really Sam? Is Sam just good ole Lucifer fucking with Dean? Is everything real? Is anything real? Who knows. And that’s the beauty of it.

Discharged from the military after the war and unable to find a regular job, Jensen and Dani end up on JD’s mining planet Wora. It’s one of the most hostile environments in the Old Galaxy, but the pay is astronomical. The job sounds easy enough: protect the miners. While battling the demons of his past, Jensen meets Jared, a beautiful, sought after companion, who is isolated by his own secrets. Jared had come to Wora, dragged by Chad, with the need to make some serious money. It doesn’t take Jensen long to figure out Jared’s secret and he has to decide how much he’s willing to risk to protect him.

Why I’m reccing? First, all the characters are so kickass in this (not one of them isn’t awesome in their own right). Second, the artwork is gorgeous (Jensen in that military armor, gah). Third, the slow burn is so good here. Two people not looking for anyone who find the one person who is perfect for them? *grabby hands*

Three Steps Past Triton by brutti_ma_buoni  Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 24,274 | Archive: AO3 Tags: angst, discussion of drug addiction, captain!jensen, prostitute!jared

Jensen is a space captain. Jared is a space whore. When Jensen gives Jared just one chance, the kid takes it. They travel through hell and beyond, though that's partly astronomy, not metaphor. And in the end, maybe it wasn't the kid that needed saving.

Why I’m reccing? Yeah, yeah, I know - another Jared the space hooker story - BUT this is so different. J2 are vulnerable and fill a need for each other. Oh, and no slow burn here because these two come together immediately and it is glorious.

Keepsake, by indysaur Pairing: J2 | Rating: R | Wordcount: ~20k | Archive: Lj Tags: clone!jensen, robot!jared, isolation, loneliness

Jared is oriented to solve problems. He is solution-oriented. He is not prone to damage. If an accident does occur, he has a healing protocol: a stream of glowing nanocytes that leave a patch, shiny and new. Very similar to a scar. Jared has three. One on his elbow. Another on his brow. One long one across his side. He rubs them, sometimes, when he's idle.

Why am I reccing? This is based on Wall-E. No, I mean, *this is based on Wall-E*, it’s sad as fuck - Jared all alone! On a planet! - and it makes you cling to that glimmer of hope with both hands and feet and whichever other appendage you might find useful at the moment. I used to be skeptic when it came of movie adaptations; Keepsake converted me. 

Always set to self destruction , by earthquakedream Pairing: J2 | Rating: PG.13 | Wordcount: ~3,7 | Archive: Lj Tags: captain(smuggler)!jensen, stowaway!jared, Firefly fusion

Semi-fusion with Firefly. Jensen has a good thing going for him - great ship, faithful (yet annoying) crew, lots of semi-illegal jobs to be done - until Jared Padalecki stows away on his ship. That bastard just won't leave him alone.

Why am I reccing? Spaaaaace captain Jensen! And he had a thing with Jared, then Jared happened on his ship! It’s cute, funny, and it’s set in the Firefly verse. What’s not to love?

Someone you might have been, by fleshflutter Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: N/A (but around 100k if you ask me) | Archive: Lj Tags: handler!Jensen, spy!Jared, morally ambiguous characters, violence, hurt!Jared, hurt!Jensen, manipulative!Jensen

A J2 AU in which Jared is a secret agent and Jensen is his handler/support tech.

Why am I reccing this: This is the Glory and the Awesome mixed together and served cool with a side of backstabbing. Jensen– trust me, I’m a Jared!girl, but Jensen’s journey is worth staying up until 4 am when you’ve got a meeting scheduled at 7 am. IT IS THAT GOOD.

Right on target, by bertee Pairing: J2, past Jensen/JDM | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 4k | Archive: Lj Tags: minor character death (the guys are fine), kinda-asshole!Jared, clueless!Jensen, humor. It also comes with a sequel

In which Jared is a hitman and Jensen is definitely not a hitman.

Why am I reccing this: I laughed, I went WTF, I laughed again, and then I awwwwed. Cute and to the point, I love assholish!Jared to death; pair him with clueless!Jensen and you have the perfect fic.

On Your Mark by veronamay

Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 24,976 | Archive: LJ Tags: violence, voyeurism, hurt/comfort, kidnapping

Jared is a high-priced assassin working for an underground agency called Admin. When he starts shadowing his latest mark, he gets caught up in a situation beyond his control, and it’s up to him to keep the man he’s been paid to kill out of the line of fire.

Why I’m reccing: The scene early on where Jared watches Jensen on his surveillance cameras in the middle of the night. Ugh.

Please Hold (Our Technicians Will Be Right With You) by biancathecookie Pairing: J2 | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 22,150 | Archive: LJ Tags: 

Jared was twenty-five and living with his sister and her live-in boyfriend; his best friend from elementary school, Chad, lived down the street and he’s working at a Buy More. Barring drugs or hookers, Jared’s pretty sure this is what rock bottom looks like. Then, his ex-BFF sent him an encrypted file and now he has a computer in his brain, bad guys chasing him, friends returning from the dead, and oh yeah - a super sexy CIA handler he can’t get out of his head.

Why I’m reccing: Based on the tv show Chuck (which I adore) and it has Chad as Jared’s best friend (which I adore). All of it is so freaking adorable.

The Proposition by @doilycoffin Pairing: Swesson | Rating: PG-13 | Wordcount: 2,081 | Archive: AO3 Tags: fake boyfriends, pining!dean

When Dean accidentally convinces his mother that he has a boyfriend and stupidly promises that she can meet him, he thinks he’s positively screwed…fortunately, it turns out that Sam is more than willing to pretend to be his date.

Why I’m reccing? A perfect piece of Swesson fluff, with a side of oblivious Dean and his awesome mom, Ellen.

Without You (I Live Without Love) by @specialcases-soulmates  Pairing: Swesson | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: 9,854 | Archive: AO3 Tags: a/b/o, loss of virginity, hurt/comfort, soulmates, alpha!dean, omega!sam

Sam Wesson has been successfully hiding his Omega status his entire life, thanks in part to his uncharacteristically large and muscled Alpha-like body. But he isn’t Alpha, or Beta, no matter how much he tries to blend in, and he’s never found anywhere he belongs. 

Dean Smith is the quintessential Alpha. He’s smart, fierce, works hard, and has never encountered trouble when he has an itch that needs scratching. But more and more he finds himself longing for that rare connection only found between True Mates. Just when he’s ready to give up hope on the dream of finding his, life throws him Sam Wesson.

Why I’m reccing? Takes the class separation of Swesson one step further into a/b/o. Oh, and ELEVATOR SEX (with a nice dose of consent.)

Nothing half so pleasant, by chasingtides Pairing: Swesson | Rating: PG | Wordcount: ~4,5k | Archive: lj Tags: amnesiac!sam, amnesiac!dean, Bobby, Ellen, and Jo find out

Dean Smith takes Sam Wesson home to meet his family.

Why am I reccing? Hahahaha, this fic. You see, in canon Zachariah gives their memories back before the eyefucking turns into actual fucking, right? Well, in this fic it doesn’t happen. In this fic they waltz at Bobby’s as boyfriends, and, uh. Yeah. Low rating, but it’s worth it.

Who are you? (I really wanna know), by @eugara Pairing: Swesson | Rating: NC-17 | Wordcount: ~28k | Archive: AO3 Tags: 4x17 coda, angst, pining!sam, dub-con that comes with the territory 

Ever since Sam Wesson moved to Ohio, he’s found himself in an exceedingly terrifying series of battles against his own brain—and the attractive man he keeps bumping into with the strikingly green eyes is Sam’s only clue as to why. Meanwhile, Dean Smith’s next promotion is practically in the bag until he starts stumbling over a succession of worrisomely inappropriate outbursts. The cute, but creepy IT guy who keeps leering at him really isn’t helping things either.

Why am I reccing? Oh, I’m a sucker for long, plotty Swessons. There’s just something about them finding each other even without their memories *cough* canonsoulmates *cough*. Plus, it’s angsty and it has the the right amount of hope that can be shattered in 1-2-3. Y’know, just like the show.
