searching for this years Big Bang fic recs  
hello my dears!

I was really looking forward to this years BigBang but real life issues have kept me from the internet, now I do have a connection again, but not really that much time to go through all participants and read a lot.
I'd really appreciate it if someone could rec me one of the following:
- any Big Bang with piercings (major kink ;)   )
- any Big Bang with self harm
- AU's of S6
- funny, strange and crack fics
- any fic were Sam/Dean/Jared/Jensen is an angel/demon

thank you very much! I'm thankful for any help I can get!

I really trust your recs.

What have been your favorite Big Bangs this year? I don't have time to go through all of them.

Also, do you know of anyone who has been reviewing the BBs or reccing some?

This question is for everyone who can answer it, as well as katsheswims

Well, according to my rec list I have read 76 of this years' bigbangs. There are a lot of good ones out there, and I have even more on my to-read list.

The one special_k414 recs below is one that sticks in my mind for horror and making me think.

But some others that really stick out are: (I'll try to limit myself to 5)
"A List of Typos Made By God" by cherie_mort
http://infatuated-ink.livejournal.com/60451.html
Summary: The summer before Sam leaves for Stanford, Dean begins to forget his relationship with Sam. Every morning he remembers less, and Sam is just waiting for the day Dean forgets him completely.~44,443
(This is pre-series amnesia-fic. Sam-pov. Moments make my heart clench. There's some mystery and angst and love, and it's all about Sam and Dean.)

"A Merman and the Centaur He Rode In On"
http://ikira.livejournal.com/30872.html
Summary: As a colt, Jared loved nothing more than listening to the legends his grandmother told about the creation of the world and all the races, but he was never allowed to forget the danger that the other species presented to the centaurs. However when fate leads him to saving the life of a merman named Jensen, he is swept along in a journey across mountains and rivers, from wide open fields to the homes of kings. Working together with new and unexpected allies to escape from those who mean them harm, they slowly learn that the terrifying tales they’ve been told aren't all true, that the legends still need an ending. But will their newfound understanding be enough to keep them together against an entire world determined to keep them apart?~51,274
(It's J2 AU obviously. But it's also about prejudice and adventure and of course love transcending boundaries. There's also a some humor. I also love how it uses mythological creatures.)

"Seek to Know no More"
http://chiiyo86.livejournal.com/35219.html
Summary: Jensen is a transparent – hard to notice, easy to forget, he’s spent his whole life fading into the background. Jared is a psychometrist – he can read bits and pieces of thoughts and memories from people and objects. They had casual sex a few years ago, and when they meet again Jensen is surprised that Jared remembers him. They have sex again, but Jensen is wary of Jared’s ability and generally not very good at relationships. In the meantime, people with abilities are getting killed, a mysterious journalist visits Jensen and Jared, people are following Jensen, Jared has a vision he can’t explain, and everything becomes very complicated and very dangerous.~36,200
(Mystery, conspiracies, and psychic powers. Jensen's power is especially intriguing.)

"Bring the Rain"
http://sinestrated.livejournal.com/52944.html
Summary: In a future torn apart by war, Jared and Jensen were two orphans just trying to survive in the filthy slums of Dallas, Texas. But when Jared was kidnapped and nearly sold to a prostitution ring, Jensen signed himself over to the military’s Supersoldier program, effectively giving up his life and his memories so that the government would keep Jared safe. Now, fourteen years later, Scout Padalecki has arrived on a military base in Boulder, Colorado, intent on finding a Supersoldier with hazel-green eyes, but when he meets Captain Ackles, it quickly becomes apparent that things aren’t going to be as easy as he’d hoped. Struggling with his own emotions and a Jensen who doesn’t remember who he is, Jared must find a way to save them both – before the war destroys everything they’ve worked so hard to build.~70k
(Kind of post-apocalyptic future-fic. War-torn world. Realistic, some gore, militaristic focus. Jared's devotion to Jensen is beautiful to read, even if things don't turn out exactly how he initially plans.)
[identity profile] katsheswims.livejournal.com on August 7th, 2011 04:50 am (UTC)
"Airborne"
http://insane-songbird.livejournal.com/167212.html
Summary: In a world where three mighty powers are at war, Jared lives a comfortable, if unremarkable, life as a Healer in a little valley as yet untouched by the battles and pillaging. His days get a lot more interesting when a Harper, one of the winged soldiers of the Overlords, literally crashes at his feet. Bound by his healer's vow, Jared takes in the injured man, over time earning his trust and companionship. Little does he know how fast Jensen's presence – or absence - will turn his life upside down. Jared and his best friend Chad begin an epic journey that will see them cross paths with the one warrior, who is so unlike any others of his kind, once more.~120k
(J2 AU. Epic fantasy. Sort of medieval society. A war-torn world where prejudices exist and people are enslaved even if they don't realize-while some people are actually classified as slaves. A revolution is needed, and Jared and Jensen just might be the ones to set it in motion and play critical parts just by wanting to be together.)

"jrobot"
http://sandymg.livejournal.com/55699.html
Summary: When Jared meets an incredibly handsome green-eyed stranger in a bar he thinks it’s his lucky night. But Jensen has a secret. He’s not exactly human. And oddly that’s not even the biggest problem as very real bullets start ricocheting past them. Jared makes a split-second decision that will forever change his world. Can Jared keep his new friend alive long enough to unravel the mystery of who made this incredible machine? Who wants it back? And is it really a good idea to let his best friend Chad bond with it? Because everything Jared thought he understood about life, love and humanity is about to spiral out of control.~36k
(J2 AU. Things are more than they appear. Another one with sort of conspiracies. Explores artificial intelligence and what it means to be human. Humorous.)

"A Slow Process of Understanding"
http://spn-j2-bigbang.livejournal.com/247098.html
Word count: approx. 94,300
Warning: One incident of harsh rape, but not graphically described. Some dub con; how much there is involved is debatable.
Summary: It's a world like this one except for the all-powerful State that's very firmly in control and, oh, the fact that slavery is legal. Jared had never really thought about it, or the fight for freedom going on around him, he was too busy enjoying his privileged life as an actor on a sci-fi show. But what is he meant to do when he's forced to permanently bond to a slave he doesn't want just because he made one silly, drunken mistake? Does it change who he is, what he is? Trouble is, Jared isn't sure who he was to start with. He'd never thought about it. And what about his slave? Can he force Jared into learning something about himself?
(This really made me FEEL very strongly. Jared is really not a likable character in the beginning-well for a while. Even though we see everything from his pov we can realize how ignorant and selfish he is being. But this is really worth a read. I think this may be the bigbang (so far) that has made me the most invested in the outcome. The title really fits. The fic realistically explores slavery and how even good people can be caught up in something that society accepts.)

"more than words"
http://fufaraw.livejournal.com/4105.html?format=light
Word count: 59,530
Warnings: dubcon, mpreg, suicide ideation, minor character death offscreen
Scientists and statisticians have monitored falling birth rates for decades, helpless as declining fertility predicted possible human extinction. But a new ray of hope was discovered; boys are tested in their twelfth year, and the small percentage who are capable of conceiving are taken, separated for education and training in their new way of life. At eighteen, each is assigned to the man who will father the children he will bear. Jensen missed his testing; his status is discovered when he's an adult. Unprepared, untrained, and unwilling, he's assigned to Jared. Jared is conflicted by his desire to father children, his growing love for the man placed in his care, and sympathy for Jensen's difficulty adjusting to the changes in his life. Resentful and rebellious, Jensen finds unexpected strength and support from the man he should hate.
(I normally don't read much mpreg, but really even though this focuses on that fact it is about much more than that. Like the above I also get angry at this Jared sometimes, and though Jensen isn't called a slave that is basically what he is. Jared and Jensen make some choices the reader may not agree with.)

"Treasure"
http://sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com/45441.html
Word count: 48k
Warnings/tropes/spoilers: apoca-mutant!fic, dystopian future, established relationship, military!Dean, scientist!Sam, gory minor OC deaths, Sam with a prosthetic limb, disturbing Silent Hill-esque mutant creatures, explicit sex scenes. Spoilers up to ep6-18, (events of eps 6-19 – 6-22 didn’t happen in this universe).
Summary: It’s 2018 and the human race is almost extinct, wiped out by a mutant threat not even the angels saw coming. Sam and Dean live on a military compound, one of the few remaining human communities still fighting for survival. Dean is one of the military leaders, dedicated to wasting as many of the mutants he can, while Sam, permanently injured and confined to the base, is desperately searching for the answer that will save what’s left of humanity, and finally bring both boys the peace they crave.
(Another militaristic future-fic.[I don't know why there are so many, but they're great!] With Zombies! There are moments that made me almost cry. Very Sam and Dean-or what I imagine they would be like in this situation and if they were together (sexually) and what they would do for each other.)

"Fiddler's Green"
http://splashpink.livejournal.com/262684.html#cutid1
Word count: 42kWarnings: War, violence, strong language, and a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it reference to past dub-conSummary: Jared has grown up dreaming of being like the heroes he plays on the big screen, something not helped by Jensen who has been there, done that, and really hates Jared’s new script. Then the unthinkable happens, and it seems like fate is determined to give Jared the chance at adventure he has always wanted. But he quickly finds that being a hero is a hell of a lot harder than it looks in the movies.
(J2 AU. By splashpink-so of course it's good. Militaristic again. Some gore. A completely unexpected twist that launches into the main action.)

"Hitori Kakurenbo"
http://vail-kagami.livejournal.com/139540.html
Spoilers: through episode 6.14
Word count: ~ 43,000
Summary: In the beginning, there is a possessed doll and an angry spirit. Then the doll gets destroyed, the spirit banished, and Sam and Dean move on. But it seems something is following them – or so Sam believes. Yet he knows just as well as Dean that that is absolutely impossible, so maybe Sam is just going crazy and all the weird noises he hears are simply the sounds of the wall in his mind falling to pieces.
(Horror. Creepy dolls. Possible crazy!Sam. Ambiguiousness. Starts out case-fic and moves on from there. Lots of hurt!Sam. The beginnings of Sam/Dean.)

Okay that was a lot more than 5, but really I had to rec all of these once I started going through them. I had to even use new comment boxes...And hopefully you like them all, even if they aren't all in the styles/themes you like. There are SO many more I want to rec....Just check out my delicious for more.

Oh, and glasslogic also posted "Static" the sequel to "Glass Fortress" (last year's bigbang, if you haven't read it yet-you should). It's great-though I had no doubt!

Hmmm, I'm not sure but With abandon or not at all (http://bewaretheides15.livejournal.com/51598.html) has Jared with piercings? He definitely has tattoos, and strange hair, so there might be piercings as well.

If not, it's still a really awesome story, one of my favorite this year!

Jensen's life was complicated enough when his biggest worry was what crazy color his best friend/roommate/ex-boyfriend/co-executive chef, Jared, was going to dye his hair this week. Then his dreams came true and, somehow, his life started falling apart. Now he's got an insane client to please, a career-making meal to cook, a hodge-podge kitchen staff to corral, embarrassing, half-naked pictures plastered all over the internet and maybe, somewhere in there, a love of his life to win back.
