Here are some more recs for you because gosh darn it, I love you guys! Read, enjoy, give the writers love!

Rattling Your Locks by cherie_morte
a story about slavery that actually considers slavery. The author points out that some aspects of this story use actual slavery codes, and it does remind us from time to time that slavery was an institution that any society should be deeply ashamed of. Also, there is a love story that is actually very moving. And knotting, if you are so inclined. ;)

The Heart Has No Bones by wandersfound

You know how Yer Mother loves Dean/OMC, and I had my fingers crossed—imagine how happy I was to find a story and double plus good—it's well written, with an incredibly likable guy that Dean kind of sort of falls for, more or less…you have to read the story to understand. It's good, with an interesting case as well, but the emphasis is on Dean and what he's going through. Step outside your comfort zone, stretch a little! :)

First Taught the Chosen Seed by reading_is_in
This world is fascinating—it's so interesting to see our world through this lense of church and state. Sam is such an innocent in the story, and true to the SpN universe, that's pretty much chumming the waters. The progression of Sam and Dean's relationship against this background was heartwarming and sadly familar.

Pick Up Your Crazy Heart (And Give It One More Try) by akintay
it's a sweet story, with the kind of banter between the boys that attracted me to J2 back in the day--she really caught the spirit of two guys talking to each other.

Even a Man Who is Pure in Heart by bunnymaccool
Werewolf stories and me do not always get along, but this was one of the ones that I liked. There were intriguing differences--apparently in this society instinct has morphed into social mores which made perfect sense to me, plus a beta becomes alpha to an alpha and I really loved that part! Here were two weres that really liked each other, and that made the story so much better to me.

Like a Fish Out of Water by nyxocity

It's a great story, starts off kind of funny and silly before poking you in the heart. It’s got an adorable Cas, and what an ending--*plus*! Christopher Lee as a curmudgeonly a-hole God. (no really, you have to read it!)


Living Together 101 by strangeallure

this is about falling out through misunderstanding and the 'ugly duckling into a swan' thing, but not. And it's practically perfect. Which is why I loved it. :)

The Iron Tongue of Midnight by zara_zee

case fic, the pilot AU, *and* a hooker fic. What's not to love? Sam and Dean are not brothers in this fic. I like stories like that too.

So I've been bouncing around the big bang postings, reading here and there and thought I'd share a few I liked. I don't have any gen on the list yet because I haven't read any yet, I save the gen and the Not My OTPstories to the end of postings. Here are a few J2 and Sam/Dean stories you might enjoy. I plan to post a few more recs but I plan that every year and never follow through…hah! Anyhoo, behold my recs!

143 Alice Grim Lane by runedgirl

This story has everything. Seriously, *everything*. It's amazing, and accompanied by amazing art.

Never Stuck Around Long Enough for a One Night Stand by beckaandzac

Loved this! It's such a great story, it just got right into my heart.

Tilting at Windmills by riyku

A fairy-tale, a really *cool* fairytale! :)
