Supernatural

All Roads Lead to Where We Stand by kkgee
Lovely look at Sam and Dean through season 1. (Wincest)

Brutally, Terminally by paxlux
Growing up, she thought it was unfair her brother got all the looks while she got all the bones and as she got older, it wasn't just his looks, it was how she sized up every man she came across, taught by Dean to see if she could take them down, see their weaknesses, how they'd fight or back down, but on her own, she sized them up against Dean and though she thought it was unfair, she never shook the habit, more like something deep as instinct or DNA or how they sort of share the same nose. Shivery good Dean/girl!Sam with wonderful tension that ratchets up until it finally breaks. *hearts* I really love this girl!Sam.

Capacity by kalquessa
Nice look at Sam realizing something AWESOME about Dean, with a last line that's really a kick in the gut.

Crack the spine, let the words fall out by paxlux
Sam and Dean and books over the years. funny and sweet and heartbreaking in turns. (Wincest)

Crossbones by baylorsr
Fantastic AU in which Mary tells John about hunting in 1973, and they search for a way to break her deal. I would totally watch this version of the show.

Elsinore by malkingrey
Fantastic fusion of SPN with Hamlet. Sam was at the University at Wittenberg along with Hamlet and Horatio, and the Winchesters get drawn into the intrigue at the Danish court. Really well done.

First Recollection by whereupon
Their lives were no longer cyclical, however. They were linear, straight lines unending, a concept that couldn't exist in reality, though there they were. The double helix of their lives was as eternal as the horizon. Gorgeous, haunting story of Sam and Dean coming to terms with unwanted immortality. (Wincest)

An Honest Mistake by paxlux
And then Dean can't breathe, can't catch his breath because Sam is stealing it, along with everything else, boundaries and rules and all Dean knows, what he understands about his brother and how he loves Dean. Because this was supposed to be Dean, only Dean, his mishap and misunderstanding and hardwired mayhem, but somehow Sam is in on it, like a conspirator, like a reckless partner in crime. Which is what Sam is, what he's always been, so Dean shouldn't be surprised, he's sick of surprise, he's given up on surprise. Utterly gorgeous and haunting season 1 casefile featuring Sam and Dean fumbling around their relationship. (Wincest)

In All Our Bones (So Scared to be Alone) by scorpiod1
Jo/Bela, all sharp edges and missed opportunities. Could use another beta pass (tense issues), but gets the characters right.

Lemon Balm and Sugar by janissa11
It was Belinda who introduced him to the idea of plants as more – as tools, as possible weapons – but it was Julia who taught him the most. Julia, with fewer smiles and a much sharper tongue than either of her sisters, whose long thin fingers caressed her plants like lovers and under whose stern eye Dean began to learn. Teen!Dean learns to garden. Lovely.

Now Wait For Last Year by kellifer_fic
Follow up to "Do Winchesters Dream Of Electric Impalas" (previously recced). Dean's time is running out and Sam is running himself ragged trying to fix things. Heartbreaking, and really gets at canon even from such a strange starting point.

The Only Thing We'll Hit Is Sunset by luzdeestrellas
Warm and schmoopy first kiss for Sam and Dean. (wincest, obviously).

Same Bat Time, Same Bat Channel by __tiana__
Dean has ALWAYS been Batman, so it only makes sense that Sam is his Boy Wonder. Utterly adorable. *makes tiny toddler fists of glee*

Sammy Winchester's Summer Reading List by debbiel66
If books can show him a way out, Sam doesn't want to miss a single word. wee!Sam and books. Lovely and wistful.

Southern Summer Rain by lemanya
Lovely moment in time, where Dean works on the car and Sam eats ice cream in the summer heat.

Take a Sad Song by scourgeofeurope
She's not twenty-four anymore and she doesn't remember the fight. Vague memories, maybe planted, but she doesn't remember how she got here. She only remembers her sons. The Winchester family, together again for the first time, on the road. *sniffle*

The Vines Around My Heart by little_missmimi
Lovely bit of girl!Sam/Jess.

Welcome to Fog City by candle_beck
"Dean," Sam said, trembling. "How. How did you know?" / Dean shook his head, his brain gibbering and thoughtless because Sam was so close and warm; it had been an experience beyond joy to be pressed flush against him. / "I know you," Dean said. "You--you're what I know best." Lovely, breathless first time Wincest from Dean's POV.
