Title: Leaving Las Vegas
Rating: PG-13
Word Count or Media: 7806
Warnings: some language
Summary: It's a simple case of a cursed book in a haunted bookshop. Except for the part where Sam and Dean are trapped in Las Vegas, there's a super-powered ghost, a strange poem, and a possible serial killer. No, the case isn't simple at all.
I love a good case fic with an imaginative twist, and this fic delivers. It's got a great mix of humour and suspense, and a pretty unique ghost.

Title: Fledgling
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 7,700
Warnings: Child abuse and neglect, drug abuse
Summary: When four-year-old Emma arrives the Bunker, Sam wonders exactly what it is that Cas brought him—what he made without his soul.
This one charmed my cynical heart right out of my chest - such a lovely yet heartbreaking look at what fatherhood might be for a Winchester, and particularly for Sam. Ranging from initial terror to unconditional love. Simply lovely.

Title: Freeport, Illinois

Rating: PG for language
Word Count: 9300
Warnings: none
Summary: June, 1998. John has left Sam and Dean in a small Illinois town while he is working. Two teenage boys, not much money, and time to kill…
This was such a perfect slice of pre season life, full of the richness of the brotherly relationship prior to Stanford, and just enough foreshadowing in Sam's POV to give it that edge. There's a great and vivid description of work behind the scenes in a busy diner, some classic banter between Sam and Dean, and a delightful day off for the boys, which made me smile so hard that the inevitable ending with John's return was all the more painful. All that without it being a bitter Sam hating John fic.

Rating: PG
Media: digital art
Warnings: none
Artist's notes: Hope you like it! I hope we do have a story (or two, or fifty!) out of this prompt! Should be fun to read and dwell in this world.
Summary: Prompt 3: Jack grew up as the younger brother of Sam and Dean--just a regular kid with profound powers trying to hide from his hunter family that he's the son of Lucifer.
A summery piece of art with great compostiion and colouring, and a really cute Jack right in the middle.

Bonus rec which is very much NOT Gen!
Title: The Obituary Mambo
Author:

Word count: 9796
Summary: It’s called a near-death sex miasma, Sam, and it’s a beautiful thing.
Warning for scorching hot Wincest. This is a perfect mix of raw emotion and pure sex. Plus it has totally adorable grumpy Dean fussing over the mess folk are making of his bunker. The Winchesters are perfectly in character, the dialogue is snappy, funny and moving.
