monicawoe! Woot!
spneldritchbang, here's my art for Moni's haunting story.
dcu_bang (but you can blame Jensen of course, thanks to the Red Hood movie he voiced).
Geeze, I'm away with the fairies at the moment and completely forgot I hadn't updated my rec post for summergen with my own gift - which is freaking AWESOME. But then I thought, this is a Good Thing. Because this deserves a post to itself so here we go.
My gift is a twofer. Not only did I get a beautifully crafted fic, I got beautifully understated art too. It complements the story wonderfully, the colours are so soft and subtle, it's like a turtle dove, but with Winchesters in crisis included. Bonus!
Title: Sleeping With The Fishes
Recipient:amberdreams
Rating: PG-13
Word Count or Media: 4350 words; digital art
Warnings:[click]
Author's Notes: For the prompt “a slender boy with a handgun,
a fast car, a bottle of pills”, because Siken. A big shout-out to my beta, Q, who’s the best at slapping my metaphor-happy hand. And a very happy Summergen to my giftee, Amberdreams! Brothers being brothers with an extra helping of Dean angst ahoy!
So yes, this hits all my buttons. Plenty of angst, sparse and emotional, tugging at the heartstrings like a master harper. Set in season 7, around my fave parts with Hallucifer rampant and Dean trying to cope.
And here's a turtle dove. Now go check out the art and the fic.
Title: Doppelganger
Rating: PG13 (bad language)
Word Count: 3707
Warnings: Massive spoilers for Season 13 – so please heed this! Some mentions of previous violence to major character.
No official summary with this one.
Set post Season 13, with Dean restored to himself - this fic is such a cool idea. I can't say too much without giving away the main plot point, but it's well written, totally had me conflicted about who to root for, and has an ending that is both sad and happy.
NB: These are the standouts for me so far, but that doesn't mean the rest of the offerings so far are no good! Go forth and check 'em all out for yourself.
12mowrimo decided to have a go at some original fiction. We produced this anthology of short stories, called Dust. I've got a story in there, and there are some other authors I'm sure you'll recognise.
spnspringfling. It's high time I did a rec post, and I'm slipping this in just before the reveals.In lieu of a review of the year (which I might get round to when I've fulfilled some pressing deadlines) I thought I might join in the Snowflake Challenge.
So here we are, Day 1 and already outside of my comfort zone - self reccing!
The challenge is to chose three fanworks, so I've gone for fic - all short ones.
1: Quite often when I track back through my stuff, I don't even remember writing it. This short piece is one I'd totally forgotten. It's probably best classified as a gen cuddle fic. The boys dealing with Bobby's death. A Dreamless Sleep - on AO3/ on LJ
2: Sometimes when I track back, I find fics I have not only forgotten writing but that surprise me. Sometimes I'm not a bad writer at all, and manage to write stories I actually find amusing. LOL. The True Meaning of Turning Turtle - a little cracky fun. On AO3 / on LJ
3: And for my final fic, one that got no comments on AO3 but I thought was an interesting idea. 3k of Sam finding a solution to removing the Mark. The God Delusion - on AO3/ on LJ
indiachick was taking prompt requests and I struck gold - go read just breathe and you'll see what I mean!
quicky_bang and 
wipbigbang art is for 
loracine's awesome Dark Angel/SPN crossover (my fave type of crossover, why aren't there more of them?) The Sulphur on Your Sleeve.
spn_meanttobe which will be posted later today
spnspringfling has to offer, because as usual, the standard is pretty damn awesome.The lovely 
fannishliss is offering Valentine ficlets, and she created this wonderfully thoughful and thought-provoking fic about Dean and Amara for me!
Go and read it and leave her some love (and maybe a prompt too!).
title: Life’s but a walking shadow
fandom: Supernatural
pairing: Dean Winchester/Amara
general audiences
costsofregret's fabulous 
spn_j2_xmas fic Heart Shot HERE. It features Jensen as a seasoned assassin with Jared as his protegee, and it's awesome. Tense, exciting, funny and everything I could have wished for. Double the hurt, double the fun, that's what I always say...
