Summary: Dean is feeling insecure following Michael's capture and mind rape of him. It seems that there are still things that Crowley can do, even from beyond the veil.

A/N You like protective brothers and I hope that this will fit the bill, even though it isn't quite what you pictured.

Wonderland Redux

< a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXwHHtS5ZJ4">Not a Job, by Elbow
This is a song from Dean to Sam. "You don't have to go chat with Lucifer. Sleep it off." Why doesn't that boy ever listen? Elbow is a British band that got together in 1990. They are still going, I'm pretty sure.

< a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REg8NhIjKgY">Dice, by Finlay Quaye
This would be Sam's response to Dean after getting him back from the dead. Yes I am schmoopy, and this is such a loving song. Finlay Quaye is British once again, and I believe that this song was released in 2004.

< a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLXCFDAoOD8">Tower of Strength, by The Mission UK
They are everything to each other, and that's what this song is all about. The Mission UK were formed in the mid 80s, after the Sisters of Mercy folded.

< a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEq8DBxm0J4">How Soon is Now?, by The Smiths
Dean and his lamentable lack of self esteem is perfectly expressed by this song. The Smiths have been around since 1982, and specialized in songs that weren't always comfortable.

< a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTFVMMCwsss">Lunatic Fringe, by Red Rider
I always think of Jus in Bello when I hear this song, and would love a vid set to this, with all the demons boiling up over the horizon to do battle at the police depot. Red Rider was a Canadian band, and I have to admit the music video for Lunatic Fringe is just a little hokey, but when the song gets going with its driving beat, I could see the brothers Winchester driving away in the Impala with it playing on stereo. I guess it just missed the 70s, as it was released in around 1980, but I'd love to hear it featured on the show.

ETA: Sorry about the apparent formatting issues. The links still work, so I'll leave it for another day.

Summary: Castiel is being even more weird than usual:

"Oh, Heavens"

which is here under the cut if you would like to see it. The very funny story by yanyann is here if you want to read about the day Sam became a dragon!

Title: "Oh brother, where the hell art thou?"

Rated: Gen, humor.

Summary: The brothers investigation of a disappearances at a spa has unfortunate side effects. If I had to guess, I'd say it was set somewhere in Season 4

Disclaimer: No profit was made off this. The characters belong the originators of Supernatural. Was all in pure fun.

Author's notes: So I was sitting whimpering because I've torn the meniscus in my left knee and ripped my ACL too and couldn't do much. I was angsting over the big bang that isn't really going very fast, when this took me by surprise. I don't often write Sam and Dean, because where they're at right now depresses me, but it all just flowed. Maybe it cleaned my pipes for me. Fingers crossed that big bang will now come just as easily.

In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you have created. It can be your favorite fanworks that you've created, or fanworks you feel no one ever saw, or fanworks you say would define you as a creator..

I think my very favorite fic has to be this one:

Murder by Space. I like it for a number of reasons. To begin with, it's sci-fi, and then it features my attempt at a Sam-Spade-esque main character. I hope I got the mood right. The whole thing is not finished, and I am finally writing the follow up to it.

I was pleased with this little story too. It's Turnabout and the reason I liked it so much was because of the foreshadowing. I haven't had a lot of experience of weechesters, but I had a lot of fun with eager wee Sammy.

spoonlessone is usually my beta, and when she and I got to chatting about the two slasher movies they made during the hiatus way back, we decided that we should do something about Tom Hanniger and Clay Miller, because they seemed to be compatible. The result was a rare pairing, Adult Afraid of the Light. I love the way it came out.

Finally, All in a Day's Work is my favorite guilty pleasure. It's a sad fact that I tend to write outrageous crack, and I think this might be my pinnacle of crackiness - so far at least!

I recced Sam and Dean this week at spnroundtable and you can find them all right here Some slash, some gen, some angsty and some so cracky I wish I'd thought of them myself!

Fic: "Possession (Isn't Always Bad)"
Author: candygramme
Word Count: 4,925
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Author's notes: I wrote this back in 2006, but I don't remember ever posting it. I found it when tidying up an old hard drive, and thought I should post it just to keep things tidy.

( Possession (Isn't Always Bad) )

I've looked at both Sam and Dean from a profiling point of view, and this is what I've come up with.

( 1: Dean Winchester - a psychological profile )

( 2: Sam Winchester - a psychological profile )

I could go on...and on, and on, but I'll stop there and invite thoughts from others. Over to you.
