Search for: Gen fics - Non-AUs

[skylinehorizon.livejournal.com]

I have successfully converted my boyfriend to Supernatural, and so next on the list is getting him reading fanfiction!
I need some help finding fics that meet the following criteria:
- Gen (no romance, or fluff or anything sickeningly sweet) 
- Non-AU (he doesn't want anything where the boys aren't hunters)
- Set season 1-4
- Humour would work
- Case!fics would probably work well, as well as gore
- No death!fics or dark!fics. Action is good.
- Wordcount probably around 10k is good. Anything much longer will probably never get read. 

Sorry about being so specific! I would be really grateful if you could help :)

Sounds like just about anything by pdragon76 or kimonkey7. Very action-filled, generally Gen, and both excellent writers, even though neither is very actively writing anymore. If you don't mind self-recs, here are a few that seem to fit your criteria:

Reap the Whirlwind (Casefile)
With One Eye Open (Dean has sex in this one, but it's part of the case and I wouldn't call it sweet in the slightest.)
Evil Intent (Casefile, been told it's pretty creepy)
Shoot to Kill (Dean's first hunt, John POV)

Even Living Legends Need Eggs - http://belyste.livejournal.com/2172.html

Summary: Sam and Dean stop for the night in a random small town in Iowa, but it turns out Dean's been there before - and the townspeople have an interesting reaction to his return. Pure humor, and not a speck of angst.

Trail Magic - http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/264961.html

Summary: Dean hates camping. There's a very, very good reason for this.

Dolor Ibi Est - http://electricalgwen.livejournal.com/94239.html

Summary: They are in full throttle research mode when Sam manages to drop a dictionary on his foot. A seriously heavy dictionary -- say the Oxford Latin Dictionary, since it's not online. A lot of swearing from Sam, a lot of mocking from Dean, till Dean realizes that the foot actually is broken. Pretty nastily broken, as it turns out. Followed by a trip to the ER and a few weeks of Sam on crutches, with Dean alternately being helpful and telling every witness they interview a new, embarrassing, and completely fictitious story about how Sam broke his foot. Finally Dean's moronic how-could-anyone-hurt-themselves-with-a-book brother has to do some seriously kickass stuff on nasty terrain, broken foot and all, getting them out of a tight spot, and there is sarcastic, concerned, bantery bonding.…

A self-rec:

I Borrowed Your Chapstick Without Asking - http://hoodie-time.livejournal.com/465990.html

Summary: After a cave-in in a mine shaft, Dean and Sam are trapped. Dean is bleeding and with no way out, Dean has a few dying confessions he'd like to make. The title is from the lyrics of the song "Confessions Part II" by Usher :D

Hmm, he might like this short I wrote a couple years back (before any cannon-fairy-activity was ever introduced) called "Of Wee Folk and Shotguns". It's set in season 3, Gen, Case-fic, light-humor, 10k. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4924234/1/Of_Wee_Folk_and_Shotguns (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4924234/1/Of_Wee_Folk_and_Shotguns) Summary: Sam and Dean investigate a case with a killer leprechaun, but when the victims are discovered bloodless, they begin to suspect another creature. Friggin fairies.

I was just going to rec the Legends fic myself - it's such an enjoyable read.

[cherry916.livejournal.com]

I would recommend one author off the bat: K Hanna Korossy (http://www.fanfiction.net/u/946711/K_Hanna_Korossy) she mainly writes episode tags/codas but she does write case!fics from time to time and I always say her stories are beautifully in character, probably the best in characterization I've seen from a writer

Ah yes, he hasn't started S5 yet (but we really need to get around to that, seeing as it's my favourite season).

Thank you very much!

[orange-8-hands.livejournal.com]

Sorry I couldn't do more - I need to re-do my rec list by season so I can see what I need to see. :)

(Also, ok, once he sees to 5.04 give him this one: The Men Who Stare at Croats (http://twoskeletons.livejournal.com/175409.html) by twoskeleton)
