Kickass Sam  
Given the propensity for limp-Sam in this fandom, I know this might be a tall order, but I'm looking for fics with awesome, kickass Sam. Hunting demons, hustling pool, anything that highlights Sam's non-angsty side. Fics where Sam says "Hell, yes, I'm awesome," and then proceeds to prove it.

Also, are there any fics out there where Sam embraces his powers and uses them against demons? No dark, evil, boy-king Sam, please. Just Sam deciding to make the power work for him. Bonus for supportive Dean.

Slash and gen welcome for both.

Thanks so much.

There's a good chance you've already read this one, but just in case, for the second one definately The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/66018.html) by [livejournal.com profile] fleshflutter. There's also a podfic (http://audiofic.jinjurly.com/incestuous-courtship-of-antichrists-bride-audiobook) version over at jinjurly. The link is to the m4b format, but it also comes in m4a and mp3. It's most definately slash.

Ack! That's "definitely." Apparently my spelling!fu has deserted me today.

Highly recommend Ascalon, by [livejournal.com profile] candle_beck. It's Wincest, and Sam is totally bad-ass, and it's one of my favourite SPN stories: http://candle-beck.livejournal.com/121356.html.

Leader of the Pack (http://www.intimations.org/fanfic/supernatural/Leader%20of%20the%20Pack.html) by astolat

If you like that, the rest of astolat's work is amazing too, though not all of it has power Sam. Battering Ram kind of does.

I've always been partial to veronamay's "Aint' my Bitch" which is an awesome missing scene to "Folsom Prison Blues" (http://veronamay.livejournal.com/594019.html)

One King and a Colt (http://community.livejournal.com/spnflashfic/11603.html) by [livejournal.com profile] apetslife --- Sam's working on increasing his powers and finding a really novel way of getting Dean out of his Crossroads Deal.


Filthy Mind (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1402?view_adult=true) by [livejournal.com profile] rivkat (also has a sequel - An Act I Would Enjoy (http://archiveofourown.org/works/328?view_adult=true)) --- Despite what the title would imply, this is not a non-stop porn story. Dean is being sexually attacked on a nightly basis by some sort of incorporeal entities, and for the longest time they can't figure out what's doing it or why. The tragic part is that Dean forces himself to adapt to the situation, even as Sam is going beserk trying to find a way to stop it. I always enjoy a pissed off and angry Sam, and he is scary as hell here.

Sam's a bit traumatized and maybe scaring himself in this one, but he's sure as hell not limp:

anything by [livejournal.com profile] rei_c. She has a long list of fics with all very capable and kickass Sam. You might want to check out her Burden of Knowledge 'ver, which starts with Burden of Knowledge (http://rei-c.livejournal.com/726332.html). Don't forget to check out the sequel and all of her other fics.
