Oo, I love these kinds of stories. A couple faves come to mind:

Narrative Symmetry is Bullshit (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1837255) by customrolex: "'Just a question,' Sam said, forcing his voice to sound casual and failing horribly. 'Did you see, you know.' He swept his hand vaguely, before crossing his arms uncomfortably. 'Everything?' 'I saw you with another guy's dick in your mouth, Sammy,' Dean replied easily." (13k words, preseries, gen - some Sam/omc and Dean/ofc - asshole!John)

Lodi Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/8379) by roxymissrose: "Sam finds out that love is never simple during a long hot summer in New Jersey." (65k words, lots of pairings but the focus is on Sam, preseries & at Stanford)

A Life Most Ordinary (http://archiveofourown.org/series/34151) by sonofabiscuit77: "Sam and Dean Winchester are two ordinary brothers living ordinary small-town lives. Okay, so having a mother who was brutally murdered by one of America’s most notorious serial killers and a father who was forever mentally scarred by the event is not that ordinary, but the rest of their problems: marriage breakdowns and relationship failures, job disappointments and sexuality crisis, and Dean’s two kids, 9 year-old Jonah with his disturbing passion for the music of Lady Gaga and 6-year old Simon with his severe hearing loss, well they’re all completely ordinary. The only thing extraordinary about Sam and Dean is how they fell in love." (60k words, Sam/Dean; this one's an AU, but the boys are in character)

Eleanor Rigby and Baba O'Riley Walk Into a Bar (http://sammehsayum.livejournal.com/4122.html) by thecapn: "Mary never died and if the supernatural exists, it leaves the Winchesters alone. When Dean Winchester was four years old he almost lost his younger brother for the first time to a fire. When Dean Winchester was eighteen he almost lost his brother a second time to a full bathtub and a pack of sleeping pills, citing some decidedly unbrotherly feelings in his suicide note. At twenty-two he's about to lose him for a third time to Stanford University. He and Sam's therapist sit down and talk out the chain of events leading up to and proceeding after what Dean considers to be the worst day of his life. He figures out a few things along the way." (33k words, Sam/Dean with some Sam/omc and jealous!Dean, another great AU)

The Devil Really Does Wear Prada (http://balefully.livejournal.com/554540.html) by balefully: "An AU crossover with The Devil Wears Prada. What if Sam were a little more…fabulous? Jess never died, John goes missing much later, and Dean. Well. He's in for quite a surprise." (36k words, Sam/Dean, a little more lighthearted than some of the others)

Boy Falling Out of the Sky (http://archiveofourown.org/works/388431/chapters/636689) by sylvanwitch: "It's hard enough getting along in high school when he's always the new kid. It's harder when he befriends the most bullied kid on campus, finds himself caught up in a case he can't share with his big brother, and discovers that he has a crush on the big man on campus. Add to that a discovery about his brother that he never expected, and it's safe to say that Sam's having the worst semester ever." (37k words, Sam/Dean, some Sam/omc and pining!Dean, preseries)

In This Sunrise (http://archiveofourown.org/works/3149405/chapters/6833999) by hellhoundsprey: "Sam dates guys sometimes. Sometimes. Never a girl before or any at all yet, but hey, that doesn't automatically mean he's gay, right? Nobody cares anyway. Surely nobody would - if they knew." (currently 70k words, but it's a regularly updated WIP; Sam/Dean, jealous!Dean and Sam/omc, asshole!John, preseries)

Five Kinds of Bars (http://lgbtfest.livejournal.com/8608.html?format=light) by sanj: "Sam and Dean never like the same kinds of places." (gen - Sam/omc and Dean/ofc, supportive!Dean)

Caught My Heart in the Middle of a Feeling (http://beckaandzac.livejournal.com/310694.html?format=light) by beckaandzac: "Sam goes looking for new friends and finds something he never would have expected." (6k words, Sam/omc, understanding!Dean)

If you're interested I've got a whole tag on delicious for gender/sexuality issues (https://delicious.com/elwarre/issues%3Agender%2Fsexuality), most of which are gay or genderqueer Sam.

Yes. A thousand times yes.

and one more! The Paint that Hides the Crime (http://fourfreedoms.livejournal.com/157078.html) by fourfreedoms: "Pre-series AU. Sam comes out to Dean." (Sam/Dean, 3k words)

Beautiful. I Have a few queer!sam fics I've saved (gay/bi/ace/etc) but you've managed to not rec any of them, I'm so excited. I was worried that there were only a few fics out there that dealt with this.

ooo, do you mind sharing your list? This is one of my favorite tropes.

Took me a while to put them in a more organized fashion on my AO3. I'm missing a couple that I'm trying to track down. Hate when that happens. I also have a link to a longer rec list (its a Queer Sam Wincest Rec List) in there.

YES THESE ARE ALL PERFECT.

I'm at work and I literally made a noise I'm not proud of when I saw this reply. Now I just have to get through the rest of the day, making up excuses for the big dumb smile on my face.

*deep breaths*

All my faves have been listed, but here's a couple more:

He Said, She Said (http://silverkit-fic.livejournal.com/11353.html) by silverkit
At the beginning of the year Sam thought he might be bisexual. By the end of the year he was sure.

Zero Sum (https://ohsam.livejournal.com/196018.html?thread=1386930#t1386930&sref=https:%2F%2Fdelicious.com%2Facqiel%2Ff%253Asupernatural,th%253Adiscovery%252Fcomingout) by procne92
Prompt: Sam finally comes out as gay, but Dean's just too weirded out by it. Entirely gen, because if Dean was harnessing wincesty feelings that would defeat the purpose. His little brother's gay and Dean's wondering how he raised him wrong. I would love a happy ending, where Dean realizes he loves Sam more than he's homophobic, and he just has to accept a life of going to bars and being Sammy's wingman for dudes. [Short, but I don't think I've seen any like it where the focus is Dean being weirded out by Sam's orientation.]

love these! Thank you so much. I really liked He said, she said.

Here are the 2 that I thought of right away:

An Unmade Bed (http://archiveofourown.org/works/408480/chapters/677421?view_adult=true) by fourfreedoms
Summary: A story of Samuel Winchester’s Gay Sexual History, and how Dean, a minor but important character, became a hero in the final chapter.

Visitation (http://elise-509.livejournal.com/328509.html) by elise_509
Dean sneaks into Sam's apartment at Stanford, expecting him to be out. Instead he finds him in the midst of having sex with another guy. But instead of leaving he stays...

Thanks! I've seen some similar to Visitation but I haven't actually read that one before.

And theres a lot of fandoms in that first one! How familiar do I need to be with each of them to be able to get the story? I'm not opposed to jumping in (I've actually started watching TV shows because of reading crossover fic that introduced me to them) but do I need a basic understanding of these characters to be able to follow?

To be honest, I'm not familiar with all of them myself. I just looked the characters up via Google. It didn't stop me from enjoying the story.
