Springfling recs

[amberdreams]

 Well bum. I was halfway through a rec post on DW when I stupidly closed the tab. With LJ when it offers to restore from the draft, it works. It doesn't work with DW. All I got back was the title! Argh! *sigh* Starts again...

I have been so busy with weekends away, gallivanting at sci fi conventions and ice hockey, which has meant I've been very remiss over spnspringfling. It's high time I did a rec post, and I'm slipping this in just before the reveals.

Obviously I'll start with my lovely art gift, In Another Life. I can't remember my prompts but I love what this artist did with the idea of another universe where things would be different for our boys, I was also really interested to read other people's comments, because there were different interpretations of the picture. Which is one of the things I love about reversebangs - the way that every picture does tell a story, but that story can vary so much depending on the POV...

I know there were more flings I loved than I'm listing here, but here are a few I remembered to bookmark. In no particular order:

Fic:
Hear Me : I'm a sucker for a good End!verse fic, and this is certainly a good one.
a rabbit as king of the ghosts : this one sums up the appeal of Springfling in the way it drew me into a pairing I wouldn't normal read (or consider) and made it work. Plus it has some wonderful insights into Sam's psyche that I loved.
we are all somebody's monster : this one is almost a perfect Sam and Dean fic, and the look inside Dean's head is marvellous. I love that after all these years, people are still writing fic that is so inspiring.
Will the Circle be unbroken? : I love the flow of this one, the imagery, the emotion. it's another perfect Sam and Dean fic.


Art:
Starcrossed : the artist is obvious and the art is glorious.

There were many more but I don't have time to go back through and I didn't make a note of them at the time, dammit - so apologies if yours isn't here. Hopefully I did remember to comment on all the ones I read. Oh and thanks to anyone who read and liked my offering. Looking forward to the reveals!

Ooh, thanks for this. I'm drowning in riches, and wasn't sure where to start. This gives me a direction to start with.

Madebyme-x has a list which basically covers 10 more that I would also recommend! http://madebyme-x.livejournal.com/52169.html

I think I've read nearly all of them, but I'm sure I'll find more I missed - I need to have a look at your recs too! And yes, those two were lovely!

Still not read as many as I like. Making my way veeeeery slowly through the fics. Thanks for the recs.

I should have more but I'd need to go back through the lot to find them again. I should get more organised!

I haven't opened all the Springflings, so I'm super glad you made that art rec, because I MISSED IT. I'm gonna try to read and comment on all of them...

I'd have included your art but I can't remember when it was posted! LOL
