General request!!!  
You all have been so wonderful and helpful in the past, I figured I would give this another go.

What I am looking for this time are some great, well written, (preferably) long stories. I want your favorites! Stories you read that were just absolutely amazing and the longer the better. Rec them ALL!!! Even if you figure I probably read them...honestly I probably haven't. Most of the stuff I read, I just stumbled across (although I have read everything by Brie and Cha, hell's half acre, and gedry so you can save those.

Pretty much no limits, I love just about everything every pairing, every genre, every kink. I love crossovers with Leverage, HP, and BTVS/AtS. I love HS/College Au's. I any of the CW folks AU or not...I'm seriously not picky.

The only things I don't like:
Death!fic ... I love happy endings, it can be as angsty as angsty can be but I want a happy ending
Scat/watersports...not judging just not my thing.

So give me your favorites!!! Self-Rec's a wonderful!!! If in doubt, rec it anyways, if I don't like it, maybe someone else will.

The most important thing, is I want REALLY good stories.

Thanks in advance!!!

***Mods, I was a little uncertain how to tag this, since it is son general. If you want me to change anything, please let me know and I will be more than happy to.***

Big Pink does fantastic long gen fics. All of them are great but my top three are:

"Red" (Dean and Sam take jobs as loggers/tree planters in the Pacific Northwest forest to battle a werewolf-like creature)

"Fire in the Hole" (Dean and John take a job that involves them going into a mine. Takes place while Sam is at Stanford)

"Dazzleland" (Teen Dean and Sam dealing with the supernatural and John while hunting near Niagara Falls.

Thanks so much!!! These look great!!!
[identity profile] gluisa88.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 04:59 pm (UTC)
Oh darn, I see "Red" was already recced!

Oh well, here are some other fics that are absolutely amazing!

A Good Man is Hard to Find - http://spn-gen.livejournal.com/144167.html

Seriously, perhaps the best fic I've ever read- definitely in the top two! The characterizations are perfect, the angst is perfect, the dialogue is perfect, Dean is just so Dean and Sam is awesome! I'm always looking for excuses to rec this story :D

The Way Back - http://rainylemons.livejournal.com/29425.html

AU Season 6, I usually avoid stories with Cas in them but this one, from Cas' perspective, is perfect. I'm a sucker for domestic fics and a sucker for good dialogue and this one has both :)

Grazed Knees - http://seriously-sam.livejournal.com/3878.html

Very AU, Amnesiac Dean, domestic dean, Dean/Carmen- this story is achingly beautiful and I really, really, wish it were canon!

And finally:

In Reverse - http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In_Reverse

The second SPN fanfiction I ever read and the one that got me hooked! I love reading about Sam's Stanford friends and how they view the Winchester Brothers. I love the schmoopiness, the angst, the hurt/comfort and all of that good stuff :D
[identity profile] gluisa88.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 05:01 pm (UTC)
Oh, this was only gen fics, right? Sorry about the Dean/Carmen fic in there but if you don't mind het, it's really mild and I think you'd really like it!
[identity profile] amethyst-rei.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 08:29 pm (UTC)
What do you mean by "mild"? Does Carmen play an active role in the story? Is she one of the main characters?
[identity profile] gluisa88.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 08:47 pm (UTC)
There's a romance between her and Dean but it's not graphic at all.

[identity profile] lethiaw77.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 08:44 pm (UTC)
Thanks so much for the rec's and it wasn't just gen, I guess my post was confusing. I meant any and all fics with any or no paring, so that one is fine.
[identity profile] brassband777.livejournal.com on February 4th, 2012 06:20 pm (UTC)

So you just mean general stores, not gen as in no sex.
I have a whole list I was making, but then I chickened out because they had winces or J2 pairings. If that's Okay, I'll post them?
meus_venator: Isn't this what you Always Wanted?[personal profile] meus_venator on February 4th, 2012 09:05 pm (UTC)
Some favourite long fics -- NOTE: These are wincest or J2 Recs
DEATH-DEALER, SOUL-STEALER | NC-17 SAM/DEAN AU
[profile] nynxlynx http://nynxlynx.livejournal.com/3260.html
Summary: A grieving Dean is pulled into an alternate universe where a much more hardened, cold Sam is working to get his Dean out of hell. Though Dean doesn’t want to go back to his lonely world, he aids Sam in his dark quest, a Sam torn between the brother he’s fighting to save and the one right in front of him.

Dictionary for a Dead Language
[personal profile] britomart_ishttp://britomart-is.livejournal.com/154955.html
Summary: Under mysterious circumstances bitterly disputed by the historians, Sam Winchester said yes to Lucifer. Three years later, Lucifer is gone and the familiar landscape that the Winchesters once traversed is a burnt-out ruin of its former self — not to mention the damage done to Lucifer's vessel. Trapped in a grotesque parody of domestic bliss with a brother he no longer recognizes, a shell-shocked Dean has no reason to believe that happy endings exist for men like the Winchesters.

In From the Cold
[personal profile] ladyjanelly http://ladyjanelly.livejournal.com/97900.html
Summary: JDM brings a beaten up homeless man into the local shelter. Jared treats him but can't get him out of his mind.
Homeless!Jensen AU | Jared/Jensen | JDM | R

The Wildest Swan
[personal profile] selenehearthttp://community.livejournal.com/raselghethi/44209.html
Summary: In the fairy tale, 'The Wild Swans' the princess had to weave nettle shirts to save her brothers from the curse of being swans by day and princes by night. She didn't finish the last sleeve of the last shirt before she was to be executed. Her youngest brother was left with one swan wing. 

Prince Jensen can’t find his place in the kingdom because no one has any use for a man with one arm and a swan’s wing. The king allows him to search for a cure, but insists that his nephew, Prince Jared, go with him to guide and protect him. Jared is exiled from his own country for some mysterious reason and he carries other secrets, including the identity of his father and a prophecy that is hanging over his head. Their journey to discover a way to restore Jensen’s arm takes them to places they never imagined and dangers that will test the fortitude of both their hearts.

Retreat Into Silence, Dean/Castiel
[personal profile] anne_higgins http://anne-higgins.livejournal.com/13662.html
Summary: Written for this prompt by deceptivechasm on simon_says_dean: Something very traumatic happens to Dean while he's with Sam (or Sam was away) which causes him to stop talking, *again*. Sam didn't know about the first time, and has to ask Bobby (or John) about what happened after his mum died. She originally requested Gen or Wincest but okayed my going with Dean/Cas instead.





Redemption - Jared/Jensen slave!fic
[profile] ancastar http://ancastar.livejournal.com/82538.html

Summary: It's a different world. Space has been colonized, the wealthy fly to work rather than drive, and slavery is legal. Jared's family has been ripped apart by tragedy. The only way he can save the ones left is to offer himself up as a bondmate. The more he's willing to give, the higher the price he can command. And Jared is willing to give a lot.

Sex Corps Verse
[personal profile] epeeblade http://epeeblade.livejournal.com/530045.html
Epic space opera with 14 parts I think now. Wonderful SPN RPS read It starts with
Amaranth(Jensen's Song)
Summary: Long before Jensen met Commander Jeff Morgan, he had to become a Sex Corps soldier. This is his story. BDSM JDM/JA

Also on AO3 http://archiveofourown.org/works/236068

All in the Game, yo
[profile] sonofabiscuit77 http://sonofabiscuit77.livejournal.com/23985.html
Summary: SPN AU, Dad was shot and killed by a police officer when Sam was five... Sam and Dean grow up in care on Baltimore’s Westside where drug-dealers and drug-pushers rule the streets, where kids face the reality of playing the Game or becoming a junkie, where two white boys have nothing to rely on except each other and their own smarts.

To The End (Sam/Dean, NC-17)

[profile] sometimesophie http://sometimesophie.livejournal.com/39469.html
Summary: Apoca!fic Sam/Dean The world is ending, Sam has turned, and Dean stops running.



Evil!Sammy Universe
[personal profile] writingbyebonio http://writingbyebonio.livejournal.com/7233.html
Summary to Now: The Big Secret was that Sam was part-demon, conceived during a possession. When Dean told Sam the secret, Sam freaked out and ran off, both so he could find answers that Dean didn't want to look for and so that he wouldn't endanger Dean if he went rogue. While they were separated, Sam got kidnapped, brutalized, trained, and reprogrammed over the course of 8+ months by the demon's people in preparation for the war. Then Sam was returned to Dean, who was unaware of the kidnapping and reprogramming, with a reasonable cover story, and they hunted together again for almost a year while the demonic war machine was revving up. Humanity basically lost on the first day of the war and Sam, rather than kill Dean, took him as his slave. Dean is, of course, having a rough time conforming, but harsh discipline and the threat of a drugged existence push Dean to submit. He tries to hold on to hope for himself and for Sam, but he's slowly breaking and he still knows so little about Sam's part in all this.

Still a WIP, but brilliant, brilliant writing so worth reading

Then, on his way to compete in Shooting at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, he meets swimmer Sam Polanski and finds there are greater prizes than bronze, silver, or even gold. But when have Winchesters ever won anything without sacrifice?
