I like to make a list before reveals...so better make a start on that then!

There have been so many good ones so far, but a few stood out for me. In no particular order:

in my brother's mansion for jalu2
An almost dreamlike look at Sam and Dean in heaven, as they explore how heaven is making and remaking itself around them, providing what they want or need. The concept is both fascinating and slightly disturbing, but the mood of the story is very peaceful and soothing. And the boys are so in love.

All of My Love for lotrspnfangirl
I almost didn't read this one because of the dreaded Dean/Cas pairing, but I was so glad I did. It's full of the other-worldly quirks that endeared Cas to me when he first arrived on the scene. It tackles his love for Dean beautifully, tenderly, and provides a resolution, all within a few hundred, well chosen words.

Of Stars and Dust for backrose_17
Another very short story but not a word wasted. Fabulous world building in a sci fi setting, this one creates a real sense of place, as well as a window into Sam's mind. I may have come away with the urge to give Dean a good slap though. LOL

There Was Once a Road Through the Woods for sonofabiscuit77
Not that we need the reveal for this one but lookit the lovely firelight glow, the eldritch moon, the creepy ghoulish severed head and the tender loving boys.

There are more, but I'll post this then do another one to collect some of the other delicious offerings later, when I get a chance.

This turned out to be for runedgirl, which is very cool, because I love her stories and her Sam and Dean!

As usual I chose the wrong time to experiment with my media, so when this didn't turn out like I had imagined, there was no time to start again. But I got some lovely feedback about the emotion in the piece over at spnspringfling, so maybe re-doing it would have lost some of that quality.

Continuing my journey (because everythings a journey these days) through the colourful meadow of Springfling, have a few more recs.

(By the way, if your fic or work isn't in my rec list, it's not because I didn't like it. I've liked most of the contributions. It's just that here I'm only collecting ones that stood out for me in some way).

Magnet - a rather beautifully written J2 with the whole fic written from nineteen year old, son of a preacherman Jared's POV. Seeing him come to realise what he wants from life is compelling reading, and so, so satisfying.

Art - Historically Inaccurate Dinosaurs - so much cute in one picture should be illegal. Wee Sammy showing Dean how to make his dinosaur costume accurate is just - well. Wonderful. I know who you are, oh artist.

Go Wherever You Wanna Go - I almost didn't read this one because I'm not a fan of Charlie, but I'm glad I did. This takes Charlie into a situation where I could totally believe her sunny personality could work... with Billie as a Reaper. Sounds crazy, right? But this fic is the business and made me smile.
amberdreams: (Bum)
I haven't finished reading/checking out all the spnspringflings but here's a few recs from what I've seen so far.

Tongue Twister - I have to lead with my gift, of course, which was just wonderfully lighthearted and fun, and full of Winchesters being brothers. I mean, what more could a girl want from an artwork?

The Redhead, the Raven Girl and the Boy - simply magical. A cynical, grieving Jensen finds healing in an unexpected place. The language of this one is beautiful. Nothing convoluted or fancy, but so descriptive and atmospheric. I admit, I wallowed in it, just a little.

The Amber of this Moment - such an insightful and heartbreaking look at Jack trying to fix everything and finding that sometimes, fixing isn't what is needed to make things right. Sometimes the struggle is necessary...

Glory Days - everything I could wish for as an ending for our boys. Sam closes up the bunker and armed with a special spell, drives out to find his Dean. Beautifully written and heartachingly good.

Art - The First Snowfall of the Year. An artist who is instantly recognisable, even without the usual gloriously saturated palette. Bloodied and battered Winchesters with smiles on their faces. Perfect.

(A)Stray - a simply fab J2, with fresh-faced college boy Jared and older, cynical Jensen who is utterly lost from the very first moment, even if he doesn't know it. So well done and in so few words.

upon the breathless starlit air - lyrical and poignant, Sam and Dean at the end of the world. It's one of those short fics that you wish was longer but is actually perfect the way it is.

Lead me to your door - dammit, this one made me sniffle. Nothing terrible happens in it apart from wasted opportunities for love. A really sweet and kind of heartbreaking J2 AU.

Can You Hear Me - this one's another J2 but with a difference - Jared's a character in a computer game, while Jensen's a lonely school kid, struggling with being bullied and being gay. Clever, creepy and romantic all at once.

Yay! The big reveals have happened so now I can claim my ficlet. It didn't get many comments on the com, but the ones that were made were lovely, so a big thank you to those who read it and liked it.
Here's the link to the story on spnspringfling, but I'm reposting it here too, with a few minor corrections.

Shadow Boxing for keep_waking_up

Title: Shadow Boxing
Pairing: Gen (Sam & Dean)
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: unbetaed, somewhat random
Word count: c1200

 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!

I just read my gift-fic and it's perfect! Lots of angst, emotion, tension and full of love, it's totally wonderful. Jensen is stuck on earth, Jared is lost in space... Superglue - go read it now!

There are a couple of others I've really loved so far, though really just about everything I've read/seen so far I've been impressed by...

  1. Dean has a strange dream in Strange Love. This one is just so perfectly Dean - as he walks through the dream corridor, finding a version of Sam in every room. It tugged at my heartstrings in the best kind of way.

  2. Rufus and Bobby in Heaven - Last Call. This has Rufus' voice down pat, and his POV is excellent, as is the writer's vision of heaven.

But go and check out everything spnspringfling has to offer, because as usual, the standard is pretty damn awesome.
