a few requests
Hi!
I was hoping you guys could rec me some fics for the following:
2. Casefics that deal with shapeshifters. I read The Abyss by aussiechick21 awhile ago, which deals with the shifter posing as Dean and attacking Sam who doesn't realise its not him at the time. If you know of fics similar to that plot it would be great.
3. Pre-series fics with Sam breaking the news he's leaving for Stanford and John and Deans reactions.
4. I really love AU fics, so could you please rec me your favourites? It can be gen, wincest, slash or anything as long as the pairings are Sam/Dean or J2.
5. And lastly any really heartbreaking (eg. dealing with an illness) gen fics with a happy ending.
*All self-recs are welcome! =D
Thanks in advance!

First of all, your icon is amazing and makes me giggle :-D
For 1) I cannot recommend ...and it went right to my head (http://kimonkey7.livejournal.com/62034.html?view=3760466#t3760466) enough. It's just amazingly written and it makes me cry when I read it (it sorta fits your 5th request, except, of course, John stays dead, so the happy ending isn't that happy ;-)
For 5) I want also recommend Don't ask, don't tell (http://dodger-winslow.livejournal.com/52387.html): "If we got in a wreck, and Sammy and I were both unconscious, and the Impala caught on fire so you could only save one of us, who would you save?"
This really always breaks my heart, but there is no illness or something like it. Still, it's really something to cry over. Happy Ending, kinda, sorta. No bad end, at least.

Beasts and Outlaws (http://calamitycrow.livejournal.com/8282.html): Back in 2001, two brothers made their choices. Now Dean's in a relationship and Sam's a respected hunter who has his father's love and approval. Of course, nothing's that easy when you are a Winchester.
In this AU, the boys have what they want. Dean has a partner to hunt with, Sam and John get along. Life should be good for the boys, right? Yeah, well......
I can't believe I fell for Dean/OMC. But all the original characters here are so damn likable and interesting and the whole thing is just so wonderfully strange and different and GOOD. Screwed-up timeline has you paying attention and hooked into it like crazy.
Redemption (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4899448/1/Redemption) (I didn't know how A your Us should be, so I put it up here): Sam took a step back as he turned. The look on his face wasn’t one of mourning; it was pure determination sheathed in desperation. “Dean’s in Hell, Bobby,” he said. “I’m going to get him back.” End of Season 3 AU;
Relative Gold (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5759954/1/Relative_Gold): . Dean's life goes in a whole other direction when Sam supposedly dies at age four. But while on the Shooting Team in the 2004 Olympics, Dean meets a tall, shaggy-haired swimmer. Can the yellow-eyed demon be far behind?
Wonderful AU wth a much more positive outcome of the life Dean and Sam lived - even though it still sucks.
Hunters of the Dark Side (http://paleogymnast.livejournal.com/18329.html): An alternate retelling of Supernatural set in the Star Wars universe or "What if Sam and Dean were Jedi?" Not a crossover as no characters from the Star Wars!verse are used.
This is GREAT! A truly compelling fiction with twists and turns and fun and tension. It has a sequel, which is Dean/Castiel (not an angel-Cas)
Apophenia Lux (http://apophenia-lux.livejournal.com/): When Sam's girlfriend Jessica goes missing, he decides to leave school and enlist the aid of his brother he hasn't seen in four years. Largely an excuse to stick the boys on Mars, and give Dean an airship.
This is such an amazing piece of work, written with so much creativity and fun and ... and... heck, go read it! STEAM-PUNK Winchesters, yay!
The first Christmas together (http://calamitycrow.livejournal.com/3190.html#cutid1): Dean gets custody of a kid he didn't know he had
I don't like "kid-fics", as in Dean(orSam) has a kid. but this is great. It's short, no sugar-poisoning. Dean is still Dean, just switched his priorities around some. Sam is living in Oregon, btw. Two chapters. You can make it!
My life's come off its tracks (http://mimblexwimble.livejournal.com/90668.html): Dean tells her, things are going fine, yeah he got into a fight and no, he doesn’t want to talk about it. He’s getting better and better at this sign language thing. He looks at her brightly. Big smile.
Amazing piece of work with a mute Dean and a Sam who really shines. This is... just perfect. Go, read!
This one isn't that much AU, since it basically follows the timeline, but it's still not canon all the way, so maybe? And anyway, if you haven't read it, GO!
Broken Images (http://www.supernaturalville.net/viewstory.php?sid=1122&textsize=0&chapter=1): They brought in a wild animal as a patient, frightened and scared, wild hair and splintered soul. She lost the ability to be distant over time - and tried everything, to put this broken man back together
Oh, a very long and twisty one is Dog eat Dog (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3417933/1/Dog_Eat_Dog): After a hunt gone south, Dean Winchester discovers that he is the human half of the Trickster God Coyote.

Oooh, one of my favorites: Reality Check (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4774188/1/Reality_Check): After a bad hunt, Dean wakes up to find that nothing is as it should be. Rubber rooms and padded walls, with no hope of escape, unless he can convince Sam that he's not crazy.
I'm not sure if it's finished, but it CAN be read as finished. Awesome!
Of Bastard Saints (http://nilchance.livejournal.com/205229.html): After Devils Trap, Dean dies. Sam is devastated but doesn't believe it, John's leg is fucked up and someone with blue hair meets Vikings.
Said to be wincest later, but this part isn't and can stand alone.
Lazarus came forth (http://oselle.livejournal.com/329417.html#cutid1): Dean makes it out of hell and finds that things topside are not much better than down below. Apocalypse fic of the whimper rather than bang variety.
Ok, these are only the gen ones, SPN.
I have some J2 bookmarked here: http://www.delicious.com/Marlowe97/j2 , which are all awesome and all AU,since I only read those when it comes to RPF.
Have fun with this list ;-)
