Welcome to the family. I have a rec of a great story, but not sure if your taste runs to teen Winchesters. If you're comfortable with it, I think you'll love "I've Got A Hand For You" by valiant. It involves 14 year old Sam/19 year old Dean left alone while John is on a hunt and his boys get closer one night after Dean has a date. That sounds sordid, but the author has made this into a beautiful and tender (but very erotic) love story about brothers coming of age. (There is no bottom/top in this story)

That sounds beautiful, I am going to check it out next, thank you so much!

Welcome!

I love char and Brie - the list. It's my all time fav.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/306451

Love everything they have written.

I almost finished reading it, I loved it so far, that was exactly what I was looking for - all that trembly, tingly, weak kneed awesomeness! Thank you!

Me again -

The Crack Impala is a SPN rec site that you can try. It used to be pretty well updated, but it's dropped off in the last 18 months, but you can check the archives for earlier submissions. http://crack-impala.livejournal.com/

Thanks, I did come across it (and have to say the name made me smile, because I was looking for recs on crack van).

Welcome to the family! A good place to start for these type of fics is spn_meanttobe (http://spn-meanttobe.livejournal.com/). It's a mix of Wincest and J2 rps but all the fics show pairings so it's easy to find the ones you want.

Another good list is the fluffy wincest fic recs (http://wellcometothedarkside.tumblr.com/tagged/flufwincestmine) from wellcometothedarkside. There are a few on there that are post S6 but they are all tagged as such.

Those sound just the my kind of thing, I love all that soulmate romantic fluffy stuff. I will catch up with the seasons soon enough so it won't matter in a while, but for right now I needed something because watching that show, man, it's like designed to get slash lovers all worked up and hot and bothered. Thank you so much for listing those links!

I have a bunch of stories you might like :) Some of them were those that got me hooked on this fandom. Hope you're gonna have as much fun as I had :D

Fumbling in the Dark: Love Advice For the Romantically Impaired (http://archiveofourown.org/works/181789?view_full_work=true) Awesome story with kinda cracky theme yet remaining in character. The boy's love story following each episode up to season 5; mostly seen through other people's eyes.

The Outlaw Dean Winchester (http://runedgirl.livejournal.com/50019.html) Zachariah is convinced that the only reason behind our boys' loyalty to each other is their family status. Take that out of the equation and there's nothing left to love. He couldn't be more wrong as it would seem. AKA the one where Dean gets to be the bad boy of the Wild West and Sam is the man supposed to catch him. It's kind of angsty story so be warned please, but I just had to rec it :)

Last Outpost Of All That Is (https://archiveofourown.org/works/1786042) The best apocalypse fic I have ever read :) It's not your usual zombies or death everywhere kind of fic. Actually, the world ends while they're aslep. In other words, a story about what would happen if Sam and Dean were the only people left.

The Incestuous Courtship of the Antichrist's Bride (http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/102268.html) I love this one :D Sam is trying to become the Antichrist in order to save the world. He has a small army of angels and demons, an adoring cult, a work of prophecy by Jack Kerouac, and he has Dean. Things are going pretty well until he accidentally signs Dean up as his Beloved Consort, a role that requires sex with the Antichrist on an altar. And that's when things stop going pretty well. Also, the soundtrack to the Apocalypse sucks.

Courting Death (http://archiveofourown.org/works/875482?view_full_work=true) This one's AU. Sam Winchester lived the first six months of his life in a happy family; the next twelve years as John Winchester's only son, and the last decade as an orphan. He's supposed to die at twenty-two trying to save the woman he loves from a fire, because he doesn't have a brother to pull him back. But the night Sam meets his Reaper he discovers that Death is overly fond of pop-culture references, too beautiful to be real, and reluctant to kill him.

The Theory of Relativity (http://archiveofourown.org/series/4681) The Apocalypse is over. Sam writes it all down, and the result tops the New York Times bestseller list for an entire year. Dean loves that Sam's found something to do with his life, but doesn't know how he fits in. And when Dean reads Sam's second novel, things get even more confusing for him.

Blue Skies from Rain (http://lovesrain44.livejournal.com/26355.html) This one has angst in it too but I wholly recommend it if you feel up to reading it :) Follows up after the boys encounter the djinn in 2x20. Instead of what should be a simple clean-up job, Sam and Dean are sucked into a nightmare world brought about by the djinn’s last dying act of revenge. What do you do when you wake up in a mental institution and you think your brother is dead?

The allegory of the cave (http://tryfanstone.co.uk/allegorytextimages.htm) Leaching memory, capturing souls, somewhere a hundred and thirty feet below the streets of Manhattan is an evil the Winchester brothers must face. But there's a fine line between reality and imagination, and neither brother can be sure of their footing in this upside down world.

The Truth in The Lie (http://flawedamythyst.livejournal.com/291869.html) Sam and Dean pretend to be gay lovers while they hunt a monster on a bus tour of Nova Scotia. Oh, yes, it has all those clichs and more! :D

The Firefly that Loved Metallica (http://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/3749.html) Follows up after Dean's deal comes due - Sam manages to get his soul back from the crossroads demon. Dean's soul is pink and tastes like sugar. Oh, and also dances to Metallica.

Wow, this has got... really long :D Sorry, I've got caught up in it. I hope you'll like them :D


Edited 2017-03-16 09:06 pm (UTC)

Wow, thank you so much!! Thank you for the hard work you put into this reply, I so appreciate it! What particulalry caught my attention is the first in the list, where you say their relationship is mostly seen through other people's eyes. That is so rare in fanfiction, that other people pov, but I've always wanted to find something like that in the fandoms I read in previously, although it was always only very rare ocasional snippet I could find. I am looking forward to checking it out, as well as the other ones you listed! Thank you!

Oh I'm glad I could help :D Hope you're gonna have fun reading it :) Oh I know what you mean about the other people's view. I love reading about the boys' relationship as seen through other people's eyes. This is one of the reasons I love Fumbling in the Darkness so much :)
I have a few other ffs with other people's view on wincest if you want me to rec them to you :)

Edited 2017-03-17 03:55 pm (UTC)

Yes! I'd love it! Thank you so much! I'm totally picturing Bobby Singer's pov haha, but of course any person's pov will be awesome. Actually I'm also seeing Castiel/Dean from other people's pov being awesome as well, but I'm not sure I'm ready for that pairing. Usually I like to be loyal to one pair for years before I feel I'm interested in another.

Hah, I'm gonna have so much fun :D When I go through my bookmarks and memories I usually end up rereading those stories. But I'd have to disappoint you, I don't have any Dean/Castiel stories. I love Castiel as much as any other fangirl does and if he and Dean ever got together on the show I'd be the first one to celebrate, but as far as fanfictions go, I'm a wincest girl through and though :D

Edit: Oh, and please forgive me it has gotten incredibly long (again). I've never realized I had so much of them.

Broken English Verse (http://mass-hipgnosis.livejournal.com/51111.html) - Awesome story, features several povs and also, those boys have their own language!

Wolfpack series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/36007) - Slightly more feral Winchesters. All of them. I really like how the author portrayed John (I usually hate that guy's guts so that's saying something) Each part is someone else's point of view. First one is Ellen's, second is OC doctor's and the third is agent Henriksen's (it's my guilty pleasure :D) and the last one is another OC's pov

Crush (http://archiveofourown.org/works/826173?view_full_work=true) - This one is by far the longest I have recced here :) Boys have retired - as much as a Winchester can retire - trying to grab a bit of their own happily ever after. Story told mostly from young man's point of view who's Dean's new employee and starts developing a crush on him. Don't worry, no infidelity or threesome here. Oh and I think it's really really good :D

Sniper Vision (http://epicallytired.livejournal.com/184067.html) - Preseries; John's POV. Pretty angsty but I love it anyway.

You Never Forget Your First Love (http://fourfreedoms.livejournal.com/72765.html) - Bobby sees them in a rain.

On a Wing and a Prayer (http://sinestrated.livejournal.com/44354.html) Huh, this is one of my favourites, ever :D 5th season AU, waitress' POV. Legendary Winchesters!

Work of Art (http://wincest.livejournal.com/1563697.html) Tattoo artist's POV on her unforgettable encounter with two soldiers/brothers/lovers - the last sentence of this story actually made me cry :D

Three Blind Men and an Elephant (http://dwarfankylosaur.livejournal.com/3580.html) - Ellen and Bobby's POV on Winchester boys.

Four Times Bobby doesn't say anything... and one time he does (http://supernaturalfic.livejournal.com/2438668.html). Um, the title is pretty self explanatory :D

Arrested Development (http://beth-summer.livejournal.com/4876.html) This story is Gen and AU but I had to put it there anyway. Dean stays at Standford with Sam; it has several outsider povs. The wincest-y codependency is still there though, so don't worry

Living is Easy with Eyes Closed (http://runedgirl.livejournal.com/67170.html) - Elen's POV.

Bobby's Story (http://verucasalt123.livejournal.com/18797.html) - Bobby once again. He's like their surrogate father so there's no surprise here.

Have fun :D

Forgive you? You're funny :) This is AMAZING! I can't wait to get to read them! I'm not disappointed about Dean/Castiel, their time will come eventually, but first things first. Thank you so much once again, I'm so happy with all the recs I got from you!

Hah, thank you! :) And you're very welcome!

Hi there, I can't seem to find Broken English Verse, the journal has been deleted and nothing other than the same LJ link seems to be coming up in google search.... Do you have some ideas where I could look for it?

On another topic, I have been working through the stories slowly but surely, and I have been having such wonderful time.... ahhh just love it!

Hi. I just found out about the journal having been taken down. Damn it I loved this story, I read it so many times I lost count. Now I'd kick myself for not having saved it. I'll look if there's any pdf or ebook but I doubt it considering it was not really long. Under 20k :(
I tried the archive.org - there's a lot of deleted stories saved in there but I keep getting the robots.txt - but maybe you'll have more luck? If you do please let me know :)

On the more positive note - I'm really glad you like the stories. Uh, I did rec a lot of them :)) Darn I should get more of a real life but I just love all those stories too much to do that I guess :D doesn't help most of my closest firends are the same, they're bad influence.

Real life doesn't come close to living in fantasy, at least that's how my life goes anyway.

I feel like a lazy bum, letting you do all the work of finding the links... but I'm thankful to you for that! All the links work, thank you so much, and I'm very glad the story isn't lost.

Nah, it's alright :) I'm kind of mad like this. And thanks god the story didn't get lost for ever :)
About the RL - hah I whole-heartedly agree :D Some stories just blow my mind.. And once I started I haven't been able to stop with them :) Funny thing is I seem to be reading all the time (and probably seem really intelectual or whatnot) but when people ask about what I'm reading I have to come up with all those shady answers. Big gay incestuous love probably isn't the best answer in most cases :D

lol
No one even asks about what I'm reading, or they are satisfied with "just stuff on the internet" or sometimes I say I read fanfiction or fiction online... Usually everyone asks if I also write, to which I say that I try sometimes but find it too hard (which is true).

Hi I have excellent news :) mass_hipgnosis backed up all her stories on dreamwidth.org (http://www.dreamwidth.org/) (I don't know why it hadn't occured to me to check out sooner)
Anyway, I'm gonna post links to every chapter here because for some reason, when clicked on it, every link to previous or following chapters redirects back to the deleted journal :/ I found it incredibly confusing to navigate, so to spare you the struggle... and myself when I go reread the story again - here it is:
Chapters 1-4 (https://mass-hipgnosis.dreamwidth.org/16095.html)
Chapter 5 (https://mass-hipgnosis.dreamwidth.org/17057.html)
Chapter 6 (https://mass-hipgnosis.dreamwidth.org/30788.html)
Chapter 7 (https://mass-hipgnosis.dreamwidth.org/35221.html)
Chapter 8 (https://mass-hipgnosis.dreamwidth.org/50255.html)

Edit - if any of those links doesn't work for any reason please let me know :)

Edited 2017-04-16 07:44 am (UTC)

While not specifically fluffy per se, the bottom_sammy community is where folks post works and links to works that are predominately bottom!sam/jared. You might want to surf through those entries for stories you might be interested in.

Also, this search at Ao3 was done for the terms "Dean/Sam", "bottom Sam", "fluff" and are not WIPs. You might want to go through this list (checking tags for things you are not interested in) and see if anything catches your eye.

Edited 2017-03-17 04:11 am (UTC)

OH thanks, good to know! Funny that right in this moment the AO3 is down for maintenance, so I can't check it right this moment, but I didn't know you could search with multiple tags? That would be awesome. Thank you so much!

It's not searching for multiple tags so much as filtering down from a broad subject. In this case, I started with Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester. On the right hand side is a collection of categories that can help you narrow the field. In the "Other tags" box, I added the Bottom Sam and Fluff tags, in the "Search within results" box, I had it remove stories that also included destiel and sastiel (since you only mentioned wincest), and finally check the box at the bottom for "Complete Only". I didn't select the language you preferred, since I didn't know if that was English or not. More fine tuning could have been done if you had wanted certain characters included, level of explicitness, etc.

Happy hunting!

Thanks, this is helpful. :)

Dollylux has a series called "The Ballad of the Invisible Boy." (https://archiveofourown.org/works/1017905) that I often go back to. It's adorable weechester-that-grows-into-wincest longfic, slow build desperation. Angst that resolves. Much brotherly love and romantic love (eventually). Fantastic.

As for rec lists, when I was new to the fandom a few years ago, I found the SPN & J2 Big Bang: http://spn-j2-bigbang.livejournal.com/

There you will find many years of many long fics broken down by pairing in Masterlists including Sam/Dean. Very handy. Have fun!

Oh wow, the ballad of the invisible boy sounds wonderful. I am so looking forward to reading it. Thanks for the big bang link too!

Welcome to the family!! SO I second literally everything alexxkah has recommended, start there for sure. Here are a few more!

1) What Remains (http://walkawayslowly.livejournal.com/1089291.html) by walkawayslowly
Summary: In Jefferson, Texas a man ends a generations-old curse and saves all the town's children, but completely loses his memory in the process. When it's discovered that he's a wanted criminal, the town comes together to conceal him out of gratitude for what he's done for them, giving him an apartment, a job and a whole new life. It takes seven months for Sam to find Dean, and when he finally does, he has to adapt to being around a man who has no idea that he used to be Sam's brother.
Notes: This one is so so good, it's also here on ao3 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/130952), it starts off pretty angsty but it's so totally worth it it's not over the top angst either. The sequel will put a tear or ten in your eye (in a good way I promise).

2) Maintaining Radio Silence (http://archiveofourown.org/works/401871)
Summary: Winchesters don't talk about their feelings.

3) Jukebox Hero (http://archiveofourown.org/works/397219)
Summary: Dean’s always been in the habit of singing along with the radio, but this is ridiculous.

4) I Already Know (On With The Show) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/117177)
Summary: There are two certainties in the life of Sam Winchester: The sky is blue, and Sam loves his brother.
Notes: There's a part in Dean's POV too! You need to be a member of ao3 to access it on that platform though.

5) Between A Rock And A Warm Embrace (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2784656)
Summary: After two vegetarian restaurants, an almost serious usage of the term “buttercup,” and an incident with Dean's mouth pressed against his ear, Sam came to the disorienting conclusion that they were quite possibly dating. Or, more accurately, that Dean was honest-to-god courting him like a modern-day knight in distressed leather armour.

6) Eight Things You Should Know (http://archiveofourown.org/works/188074) by candle_beck
Summary: Being in love with Dean is the most annoying thing.
Notes: Seriously, read everything by them! Their stuff is amazing and was the first thing I was recc'ed when joining the fandom.

7) Luna De Miel (http://archiveofourown.org/works/2127699)
Summary: Supernatural Agents Sam and Dean Winchester are sent to investigate a prominent law firm with suspected werewolf activity. It's supposed to be an easy case since Sam's new to the job, and Dean has been assured that they are just doing reconnaissance. The first complication is the senior partner's assumption that they are married, not related. The second is that they know jack squat about navigating office politics. The third is that werewolves may not be the only supernatural creatures here. And the fourth... is the same as the first; Dean just feels that it bears repeating.
Notes: They also wrote Courting Death (http://archiveofourown.org/works/875482) & The Hunter Games (http://archiveofourown.org/works/519567) both of which are SUPER good!

8) Basorexia (http://archiveofourown.org/works/783525)
Summary: “You did something to Dean!” Sam exclaims, backing up and pointing in accusation.
“Correct!” Cas says excitedly. “I removed Dean's inhibitions regarding his frequent desire to kiss you. Now whenever he feels the urge, he simply does so, and has no memory of it afterwards. It's my gift to you!”
In which Cas does not understand the meaning of "gift", Dean has selective amnesia, and Sam is confused as hell.

9) Run Away With Me (Or I'll Keep Singing) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/653888)
Summary: “Dude, there's a guy outside, and I think he's serenading you.”
In which Dean can't stop singing, Sam is embarrassed, and true love is the answer to everything.
Notes: Based off of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwPmOZTgAcA).

One more I'll stop I promise!!!!

In The Garden Where Sins Began (http://chocolate-muse.livejournal.com/17500.html) by nyoka
Summary: In some places they grow for you...
Notes: Underage, haven't read this one in a while but I think Sam's 16? Literally the most beautiful thing I've ever read I cried omfg, but in a good way

Oh my goodness, that's amazing, thank you so much!! So many recs, and the descriptions sound wonderful, thank you! <3

No problem always happy to help 💕

Not sure if anyone suggested checking out sd-recs (http://sd-recs.livejournal.com), but there's a good amount of fics over there, and uniquely titled. If you find yourself falling in love with the actors as well, they have a group with a plethora of fics for specifically jared/jensen (http://j2-recs.livejournal.com) slash, also uniquely titled and tagged.

Hey that's great!! No one recced it yet, and I love the sd_recs, can't believe there is so much other people's pov in this fandom, there is an actual tag for it! Yay! Thank you so much for letting me know about it. As for the jared/jensen, I have to say I am in danger with these actors...normally rps makes me squirmy and I stay away from it, but these guys.... I am afraid I might like it too much! -- I already feel a little in love with them...
