twasadarkI looked back through my posts and it's been FOREVER since I've recc'd some Gen stories. Bad me! BAAAAAAAAD. Here's a gob to make up for that:
Words Like Violence bybellatemple (Sam/Jess, Dean; rated teen) Summary: Jess thought, when she met Sam, that the two of them would grow up, get married, have kids, and have a life. Then she met Dean, and everything spiraled away. This is a really interesting AU in which Dean doesn't talk, he and Sam were raised by foster parents, and they live together while Sam is at Stanford. The ending is really powerful. It's followed by Second Skin and Silent Water.
Thirty Times Dean Winchester Got Hurt byifyouweremine (PG-13). Hurt!Dean anyone? This is one of those short pieces in which every word packs a punch.
Too Much Information byiamstealthyone . (Sam, Dean, and Bobby; PG-13) Summary: Bobby motioned toward the gag in Dean’s mouth. “Is that really necessary, Sam?” 100 words of utter perfection.
The Gift bygeminigrl11 . (unrated) Summary: "You're the damndest kid, Sammy." (a little preseries schmoop). Short and sweet; Sam is actually unselfish for once. Pre-series.
The Patchwork Family bynot_refined . (mentions of Dean/OFC and Sam/Jess; PG-13) Summary: Very AU. Dean shows up at Stanford with a stolen baby and a heart full of need. And Sam sews them back together with one word: Yes. Wonderfully sweet story. The author may even write a sequel. Especially if you comment and whine that you want one. That's a hint.
Omega bysangaa . (PG-13) Summary: The Winchester's take refuge after John's possession. But maybe the demon is closer than they think. He closes his eyes for a moment, trying to get rid of this helplessness. His brother, laid out on a green table. His father, trapped in a box. And himself, flailing around in space, trying to find true north… Author's note: This places the series in that AU-verse, starting after the events of 'Devil's Trap', but jumping off from just before they get truck-stopped. The focus, as always, is on Sam. Damn! This is powerful stuff. Hurt!Dean is always pure yum, but this ... let's just say that I'll be re-reading this one again and again. There are several more fics in this series, but this one is my favorite.
But All Endings Are Also Beginnings by Gillian Middleton. (G and PG) Summary: Alternate universe story. Dean and Sam reunite after 4 years apart. Sam is burying his past , and Dean is holding his future. A nice long (7 parts) AU in which Dean is a dad. Splits off at the Pilot ep. Dean and Sam are so sweet in this one, and the ending is very satisfying.
Storm Watch byhellesgift . (unrated) Short but awesome. Pre-series. Dean tries to smooth things over between Sam and John to disastrous results. Has a sequel from Sam's POV that's just as awesome, vivid, and chilling - Calm After the Storm.
