aliunde_recsHere's round 2, my friend. You might notice a lot of author overlap. There's a reason they're some of my favorites. *wink* As last time, many of these are already represented in other recs posts. Finally, in no particular order, I present to you...
(Edited to get rid of the LJ cut, since this post should be old enough not to clog anyone's flist at this point)
Loud and Clear (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 1840 words
Summary: It just seemed pretty fucking obvious to Dean: you couldn't get what you really wanted, so you had to take what you could get.
Notes: Short, intense, wonderful!
Devil Driven
By:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sometimesophie / crookedassembly
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 6400 words
Summary: Some curses take you straight to hell.
Notes: This fic is one of my earliest SPN favorites, and probably my first experience with the beautiful magic-made-them-do-it trope.
A disturbing lack of faith
By:fleshflutter
Info: PG, mild Sam/Dean, 2700 words, Star Wars AU (spoilers for Lazarus Rising)
Summary: A Jedi, a wookiee and a pilot walk into a bar…
Notes: A bizarre concept that is masterfully executed. I won't even try to describe this. You just have to read it. No, really. You have to.
Teen Antichrist 'Verse
By:smallcaps
Info: NC-17, Sam/Dean, WIP
Summary: Sam is a teenage Antichrist (horns, tail and all). Dean's just trying to deal. And John is doing the best job he can raising his boys.
Notes: Ongoing and entertaining and all around brilliant.
Old Country (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 40647 words (spoilers for AHBL & and HP Deathly Hallows)
Summary: Sam and Dean go to Hogwarts.
Notes: Okay, yes. The summary sounds like crack. But a strong argument could be made that you don't know brilliant storytelling until you've read this fic. It is truly excellent.
There the Crevasse
By:monkiedude
Info: NC-17, Sam/Dean, 5300 words
Summary: It started with them getting separated, again, and Sam being choked, again, and Dean arriving in the nick of time. Again.
Notes: Another early love of mine from when I first started reading SPN fic - and one I still enjoy. A lot. Cleverly done and a fun wincesty read.
The Old Gods Return
By:fleshflutter
Info: NC-17, Sam/Dean, 16154 words (altered states sex, mentions of mpreg)
Summary: No one should know they're here but the envelope's found them; whoever wrote Sam's name out knew where they were.
Notes: Lovecraftian genius. I won't say any more on the subject. You just need to read it.
Punxsutawney (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 8968 words
Summary: where would fandom be if we only did the good plots once?
Notes: Groundhog Day style fic, from back before Show made it canon. Do I even need to tell you I love this one? I mean, it's on this list, right? Brilliant, though, in case you wondered.
This thing of ours
By:fleshflutter
Info: PG-13, Sam/Dean, 14336 words
Summary: The Pilot – if the Winchester family business were organised crime rather than hunting the supernatural.
Notes: There are pretty much not words for how much I adore this one. So I won't even try. Just click the link already.
Three Blind Men and an Elephant (LJ Mirror)
By: dwarfankylosaur
Info: PG-13, Sam/Dean, 3800 words
Summary: John and Ellen and Bobby find out.
Notes: I've lost track of how many times I've read this one. Let's call it 'many' and leave it at that.
Kings and Queens and Jokers, Too (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 4436 words
Summary: "Yeah, you boys nailed that trickster real good," Bobby said, dry as dust.
Notes: Hilarious and warm and satisfying.
The Far Side of the Sea
By: ellipsisblack (conquest)
Info: NC-17, Sam/Dean
Summary: What's weird is that there is suddenly a twelfth century Scottish village nestled on the South Carolina shoreline. What's weirder is that none of the residents of the nearby town seem to think anything is wrong. The Winchesters swing in expecting to deal with the village and be on their way; after all, weird is their business. But then it deals with itself, vanishing with Dean inside. Suddenly, Dean is trapped in Ron Mor, and Sam is left in South Carolina, wondering how the hell to get him back. But that is only the beginning of their problems, because a month later, Dean suddenly shows up on the beach naked and disoriented, barely remembering Sam's name. Sam begins to realise that more has happened to his brother than he can possibly comprehend.
Notes: This fic absolutely shatters me. I don't think I could comment coherently on it if I tried, but it's one of those fics that stuck with me hard through the years and still leaves me reeling when I stop and think about it.
You Speak My Language
By:fleshflutter
Info: R, Sam/Dean, 1539 words
Summary: Good as the Night Before might be, the Morning After always sucks.
Notes: One of the best morning-after stories I have ever read, and believe me. I've hunted down more than my fair share of them.
Bad Blood (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 3887 words
Summary: "Fuck me or I'm going to die isn't the world's best pickup line."
"I've heard worse," Dean said.
"You've used worse," Sam said.
Notes: Indescribably awesome. As Astolatoften always is.
Bad Company (AO3 Mirror)
By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 1133 words
Summary: (Sequel to Bad Blood) Sam was looking at Dean with a sort of glow of smug happiness. Dean glared out the windshield and refused to look at him.
Notes: 'cuz sequel. Duh. *wink*
Evernatural
By: gekizetsu
Info: G, gen, 675 words
Summary: Disney purchases the rights to Supernatural and airs it on Tuesday nights on ABC at 7:30. The show is retitled to aim for a different audience (see above). Eric Kripke sets fire to himself outside an ABC studio shortly after.
Notes: Imagine the most hilarious thing you've ever read. This is better. Also, crack.
A Priori
By:memphis86
Info: NC-17, Sam/Dean, 17672 words
Summary: He wakes up half-blind, not able to remember anything. Then Dean Winchester shows up to complicate things.

By: astolat
Info: adult, Sam/Dean, 10120 words
Summary: "Can't we just kill a bunch of elves without having to talk about our feelings?" Dean said.
Notes: Amnesia fic. Utterly brilliant. I'm not even sure why I'm bothering to recommend individual fics by Astolat at this point, what with how everything she does is awesome beyond the telling of it.
All of Five Minutes (LJ Mirror)
By: dark_reaction
Info: R, Sam/Dean, 2600 words
Summary: After the Bloody Mary incident, Charlie still thinks of Sam.
Notes: An excellent outside POV of the Winchesters.
