Supernatural

Always Some Door Open by [anonymous]
Agent Henrickson learns the truth about what the Winchesters do, in a really interesting and hilarious way.

And the Sun That Lights the Day by coffee_in_bed
"The first time Sam saw the ocean was a blinding, burning day in July, somewhere in California. Seven going on too damn old, but still naïve enough to be awed, enchanted." Sam and the ocean. Gorgeous.

Boatswain and Beetlejuice by minim_calibre and sathinks
Sam and Dean on the road, after AHBL2, doing what they do. Have tissues handy.

Breach by Jintian
Post AHBL, Sam and Dean go down to New Orleans to try to find a solution to Dean's problem. Full of interesting characters and insights into both brothers, with a really good sense of place.

Cruisin' After All These Years by kroki_refur
Winchesters/Impala = OTP! The first time each of them drove the car. Lovely.

The Edge of the Known World by ignipes
Wistful, achy sequel to "Cartography in Empty Spaces." (previously recced) Dean tries to adjust. Lovely.

Exact Change by dontyouwaitup
Long, slow, gorgeous story of Dean and Sam realizing that the other one is and has been and always will be right there. I didn't like the dismissal of Sam's relationship with Jess, but that's my only real quibble with this story. (wincest)

Few and Far Between by sevenfists
Dean and Sam take a week off and travel cross-country on Route 66. Wistful and achy and full of hope at the end. Lovely. (Wincest)

First Hour by merryish
At Stanford, Sam finds the care package Dean left him. Oh, boys. this made me all achy in the chestal area.

A Foreign Country by casspeach
Dean loses his memory, and makes a new life for himself. But the monsters don't leave him alone. I really enjoyed this a lot - the slow build of his relationship with Sally, the dislocation of not having memories, the new life he makes. Lovely.

Green and Gamboge by sevenfists
Some gremlins adopt Dean. Sam gets jealous. Ridiculously adorable and funny. (Wincest)

In The Gloaming by apreludetoanend
Dean might have his reasons, but Sam maybe, possibly, neglected to learn them. Which is his right, as the brother of a total dumbass. Wonderful, creative post-AHBL2 story. Oh, boys...

An Instant's Width of Warmth Disclosed by luzdeestrellas
Because who doesn't love a good cuddling to stave off hypothermia story? Seriously. Lovely prose as always, Sam's sleepy and determined, and Dean's voice is funny and heartbreaking. (Wincest)

Lasagna by janissa11
Bittersweet sequel to "Red Beans and Rice." (previously recced) Sam wants a home cooked meal. Dean obliges.

Last Fair Deal Gone Down by elanurel & wenchpixie
Thoroughly enjoyable future fic where Dean and Sam are cranky old men whose too-curious-for-their-own-good grandchildren discover a hunt in their own backyard.

The Librarian, the Witch, and the Wal-Mart by buffyspazz
Utterly adorable casefile with fun OCs and a hilarious Sam POV.

Occasional Demons by marinarusalka
Sam and Dean take on a case on a research ship. Things don't go as planned. Long, engrossing casefile with a really cool setting and an intriguing supernatural threat.

On the House by javajunkie13
Dean + pie = LOVE. The different kinds of pie Dean has over the years, and the circumstances in which he has them. Lovely.

Patchwork by femmenerd
Sequel to "Straight Line" (previously recced) - Sam comes back and learns to live with Meghan after he finds out she's pregnant. A lovely future for him, and for Dean, who's settled in the same town. Sigh.

All The Pretty Little Horses by annkiri
Adorable outsider pov. When Emily's dad visits her, he tells her about two brothers named Sam and Dean who hunt evil.

A Season for Crows by fryadvocate
Sam is murdered, and Jess calls Dean to find out who did it. Hard, dark, noir AU. Long and engrossing and heartbreaking.

Sleepwalking in the Land of Magnets and Memories by [anonymous]
Sam came to the conclusion that he was as in awe of his brother as when he was five years old. Oh, this is hurty. Sam's fear and desperation are palpable, as is the sense of the weight he's trying to carry. *sniffle*

Spark by pandoraiam
AU, Sam and Dean grow up separately. Dean's a *fireman*. I liked this story a lot, though the boys' backstories felt clichéd (but not belabored, luckily). he was a goddamn bisexual ghost hunting fireman. Normal was not going to be part of his life. (Wincest)

Spring Chickens by corvidae9
Aggie and Muriel Morrison have been hunting since before Sam and Dean were born. Awesome.

Swear by All Flowers by sweetestdrain
I enjoyed this a lot, though there were a couple things in it I found jarring (mostly Sam's conversation with John, which really threw me out of the story), but overall, enjoyable, schmoopy (at the upper level of my schmoop tolerance, really) and good use of the Baba Yaga myth. (wincest)

A Work of Art by [anonymous]
John's injured and baby!Sammy wants to sit in his lap. Dean provides the right distraction. This made me all sniffly and happy. Oh, Winchesters...
