recs post!
While I love me some slash, I'm also super excited about this comm, because good genfic can be really hard to find, but when you do manage to find it, it tends to be incredibly awesome. So to get the ball rolling, here is a list of my favorite genfic, old and new. Fics set after the season five premier are beneath the cut in case of spoilers. Dreamwidth/AO3 links provided when available, but most links are to livejournal.
Title: A Stand-Up Man byalethia
Summary: “Just so you know, there are some things I won’t do for you.”
Notes: Set early/mid-season 1. Sam re-adjusts.
Title: The Wonder of Each Hour bydestina
Summary: Stories from the road.
Notes: This is a lovely, bittersweet story about Dean and the people whose lives he intersects with.
Title: Dust In The Wind by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lyra_wing
Summary: They are the gods of the open road and the hunt, of classic rock and stupid luck, of truck stops and greasy diners, of dollar beers and pool halls.
Notes: This is a crossover with Neil Gaiman's American Gods. It is also one of my top ten fics in any fandom ever. READ IT.
Title: Two Kinds of Light by Gekizetsu (who I know has a LJ but I don't have the link, if anyone could provide it?)
Summary: Had someone said, hey, Dean, a year from now, you’ll not only be out of hell, you’ll be fighting alongside angels and your brother against freakin’ demon hordes, with a freakin’ sword that can do better than Ruby’s dumbass knife ever could, he’d have hit them right in the forehead with the heel of his hand.
Notes: AU from partway through season 4. This is one of those fics that just about everyone has read, but I'm including it here anyway because it's amazing.
Title: asleep, at heaven's gate byaerowank
Summary: Wherein Gabriel schools Castiel on the finer things in life and teaches him how to laugh, swear in borrowed language, and take a leap of faith.
Notes: Really beautiful, lyrical Castiel gen, though can be read as pre-slash Dean/Cas. Written in second-person, but I'd recommend you give it a shot even if that's not your thing.
Title: Coyote Keeps On Singing bykawaiispinel
Summary: The problem with living like this for so long is the lines get blurred and you forget where you're supposed to stand.
Notes: Gabriel fic! I cannot tell you how happy the existence of this fic (and fics like it) make me. Gabriel is one of my favorite characters, and this fic does a good job of showing why.
Title: Disaster Relief (AO3 link) bymusesfool
Summary: The world is ending, but until the final confrontation comes, there are battles to be fought all over, every hunter now a soldier, and every town a front.
Notes: Excellent, excellent Bobby fic.
