2013 Big Bangs
Aug. 23rd, 2013 01:01 amI thought I'd make a rec list for the Big Bangs for this year. Please keep in mind that I LOVE Wincest, love J2, like some gen, and hate Castiel with the fiery passion of a thousand burning suns. Also that I am an EDG. That will make everyone happier :) There are LOTS of stories I haven't gotten to, so I'll update as I go along.
***** Awesome, will probably read again at some point.
**** Very good, glad I read it.
*** It didn't have (much) Castiel in it so yay?
** GRRRRRRRR
* What the FUCK is this BS?!
There probably won't be many of the last two since this is about fics I like, but there will be one for sure. >:(
Fic title: The Raven http://collegeboy-spn.livejournal.com/19895.html
Author name: jedisapphire
Warnings: Minor language, horror elements and violence - nothing worse than what's on the show. Spoilers through to 8.10, Torn and Frayed.
Summary: The Raven is a hotel opposite a haunted house a few miles outside Baltimore. Sam and Dean are there on a boringly routine job. Then Sam finds a package of nineteenth-century letters under a floorboard, a mysterious ghost with sad eyes insists that Dean is going to kill his brother, and the world's creepiest doctor shows up claiming he can cure Sam, who's suddenly starting to spike high fevers for no reason Dean can figure out.
***** Great story/case, and love the brothers' relationship :) A few canon issues.
Fic title: The Beat of Our Noisy Hearts http://cleflink.livejournal.com/73257.html
Author name: cleflink
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 48,000
Warnings: Magic realism, graphic descriptions of medically impossible heart care, serial killers, sex, angst
Summary: In a world where heartbreak is a literal condition, it's Jared's job to sew, fill and patch the physical wounds left in people's hearts by lost loves, misunderstandings and betrayals. Jared's own love life is mostly at the pining like a fifteen year old girl stage, largely because Jensen doesn't date and Jared doesn't do one-night stands, but he's got good friends and a job he loves, so he figures that he can't complain too much.
When a killer attacks Jensen, Jared discovers that a needle and thread, desperation and a sharp scalpel are enough to save Jensen's life, but at a cost that is going to change Jared's life forever and tie them both together in a way that goes far deeper than flesh.
*****Wonderful story. Loved it. The steampunk elements were fun, the tech and world building were well done and consistent and the characterizations were perfect. Highly recommended. Oh, and the art is beautiful too!

Author name: paper_storm88
Genre: RPS
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 72,200
Warnings: mentions of past sexual abuse
Summary: When Jensen first realized he was gay, he had some silly, fairy-tale notion of meeting an amazing guy and falling in love, but then he discovered how much fun sex is and that's always been his endgame since. When he looks at Jared, he feels like he's eighteen again; starry-eyed and hopeful and dreaming of creating a life with somebody. It should be frightening him down to his core, because all those things go completely against the way he's lived his life for the past seven years. But then he remembers Jared's smile, or the way he smells, or how big he is and how good Jensen imagines he'd feel pressed up against him, and then he doesn't care about anything else anymore.
***** I haven't read this one yet, but I'm putting on the list anyway because Paperstorm is amazing and everyone should read her stories.
Fic title: The Extraordinary Experiences of An Unusual Sidekick in the City http://truelyesoteric.livejournal.com/163154.html
Author name: truelyesoteric
Genre: J2 RPS AU
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 44,000
Warnings: Superhero level violence
Summary: Jared Padalecki, Class Two Superhero, has lived his entire life in his small town. Another disappointing Superboyfriend is the kick that he needs to get out. He arrives in the City, expecting to be overwhelmed, instead it seems that he finds a whole new world. He finds City rules to be stricter, he finds that the caliber of the bad guys are over the top, and he finds that the other Supers are a little crazy. It seems like this world is nothing he ever wanted and everything that he needed.
***** Great story, interesting characterizations, and...well...I just really love superhero AUs, okay? Also, bonus points for truly lol wtf stunt casting.
Fic title: Chemistry http://glovered.livejournal.com/114834.html

Genre: RPS
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: R

***** I want this to be real life.
Fic title: Your Signal in the Distance http://cleflink.livejournal.com/73257.html
Author name: dugnindeep
Genre: RPS
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: graphic descriptions of murders, crime scenes, non-con touching, and stalking related to OCs; explicit sex and language; asshole(ish) Jensen, main character depression/dissociation; graphic images in the art
Summary: Life as a psychometric is more than just being a part of the Empaths. Jensen's specialty is reliving the deaths of murder victims, which does him no favors except in his job as a Special Investigator with the Homicide Division. That's why Jensen doesn't do relationships of any kind. Doesn't even try, just shuts himself off from natural emotions. He experiences enough of them at his crime scenes.
Hooking up with a stranger in a club helps to relieve the tension he carries from one murder to the next, but it complicates everything when the one-night stand, Jared, is tied to his next case. Being forced to deal with Jared cracks the facade of the well-built defenses Jensen has created to protect him from the side effects of his abilities. The way Jared slips inside overwhelms Jensen in ways he'd hadn't known were possible, so his only option is to push Jared as far away as possible. That is, until Jensen begins to really feel.
***** Interesting story and universe, good characterizations. It's sort of like a Superhero AU, which of course endears it to me :)

While the boys struggle to come to terms with their situation, John's unfinished hunt provides more sinister challenges. Pre-series, sort of canon-compliant, gen.
**** Interesting case/story, and certainly canon-compliant in the way Dean is treated--ie, like shit by just about everyone including himself. Breaks my heart but a good story. It looks like it's not available anymore, but if you can still find it, it's a good read.

There's also the matter of the newly kitted-out body he's in. It's strong, resilient and hyper-aware, but there's a couple of extra features that could still send him to an early grave.
**** I haven't read the series this is based on, but I enjoyed the story. Love the way Sam and Dean's relationship plays out and the way little bits of show canon are worked in.

When the fighting is done and Sam and Dean are retired together, curtains and all, they find a strange package that reminds them of everything they fought for and everything they have.

Summary: A few nights a week, Jared lights a candle in the window and opens the doors to his speakeasy, welcoming one and all, so long as they know the password and how to keep their mouths shut. When the liquor starts to dry up and the revenuers start closing in, Jared is forced to hang all of his fortunes on Jensen, a bootlegger who offers him a lot of pretty promises and an even prettier smile. Together, they set off on a run that will take them from mountain hollows to metropolitan hideouts, from backwoods shacks to ritzy hotels and all points in between. They couldn't be more different; Jared is unassuming, low-keyed, and Jensen is as flashy as his souped-up Buick, but they soon discover that they have a lot more than moonshine in common.

The boy shyly succumbs to his advances one night only to turn and viciously murder a whore in a jealous rage, and ballgown, the next.

At first, he rolls with the boy's changing moods, but, with his crew's warnings ringing in his ears, a time of reckoning is soon at hand.

Summary: Five years ago, Sam Winchester failed the final trial, sending both brothers to opposite sides of the country. When Dean vanishes without a trace, Sam must figure out how to find his estranged brother and save a small town from the serial killer that's been terrorizing it.

Fic title: Riders on the Storm

Genre: Wincest with a side of I HATE SAM
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 41,500
Warnings: Underage (Sam is 17.) Brief suicidal ideation.
Summary: Bottled up in a borrowed Sierra Nevada cabin while their father chases demonic omens, Sam and Dean have nothing to do but hunt strange beasts and mess around with each other. Each tells himself it doesn't mean anything, but when the weeks are over and Sam announces he's leaving for Stanford, everything including their relationship falls apart. Years later, Jess dies tragically and Sam leaves Stanford with Dean to find their dad. Dean is Sam's anchor in the ocean of Sam's grief, but soon Sam starts suspecting that he's holding too close, wanting too much. Meanwhile, Dean has repented of what happened that summer and rebuffs Sam, but deep down neither can shake his less-than-brotherly feelings. When Dean exchanges his soul for Sam's life, Sam is determined not to let Dean die, or let their desires go unresolved. On the trail of the Wild Hunt, during a last-ditch effort to save Dean from hell, the crackling tension between Sam and Dean finally comes to a head.
* I got less than halfway through this story before giving up in fury. Sam comes on to/pushes Dean into sexual contact even tho he suspects Dean doesn't really want it, because he's leaving for Stanford so what does it matter if it messes Dean up? His actual thoughts are, I'll take what I want because I'm leaving anyway. He does this TWICE before the story is half done. FUCK NO, AUTHOR.

Warnings: slightly grisly, but pretty much on-par with the show. lots of language, including colloquialisms for sex workers. there's passing mention of Sam/Ruby, Dean/Lisa, and Sam/Amelia—no more than a few lines each.
Summary: So picture this: it's 2007, Dean just sold his soul, and the brothers Winchester are hunting what they think is a vengeful spirit when Dean gets kidnapped, and they realize just how deep their codependence runs. In the aftermath, Sam and Dean deal with things the only way they know how (i.e very poorly). Then Dean goes to hell, things get messy, Sam thinks Dean's forgotten all about their night together...couple that with a case that ends up spanning half a decade, the most epic crossroads in the nation, a smattering of reoccurring characters, and you've got yourself a story for the ages.
* Another one I couldn't even finish because of the BLATANT Dean hate. GEEZ DEAN IT WAS JUST 40 YEARS OF HELL HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALLOUS AND MEAN TO SAM? CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S SUFFERING?! <--would be a better summary.
***** Awesome, will probably read again at some point.
**** Very good, glad I read it.
*** It didn't have (much) Castiel in it so yay?

Summary: A trail of phonecalls, emails, text messages and ephemera tells the love story of Sam and Dean. Dean tries to let Sam start his life at Stanford, struggling to keep their relationship going even as their lives move down separate paths. When the fighting is done and Sam and Dean are retired together, curtains and all, they find a strange package that reminds them of everything they fought for and everything they have.
*** Very sweet, almost too sappy. Not great characterizations imo, but I like the idea of the story. Also, Castiel.

Warnings: N/A
Summary: Werewolves and humans don't usually mix, but there are rare times when mates are found among the human population. Jared is a cocky alpha destined to take over when his father retires. He isn't interested in finding a mate at all, preferring casual hook ups over entanglements. Jensen is a human physical therapist who has no idea that werewolves exist. Destined to meet, this is their love story.
*** Read mostly because of the A/B/O dynamics. Not very plausible, but not the worst I've read by any means.

Summary: A few nights a week, Jared lights a candle in the window and opens the doors to his speakeasy, welcoming one and all, so long as they know the password and how to keep their mouths shut. When the liquor starts to dry up and the revenuers start closing in, Jared is forced to hang all of his fortunes on Jensen, a bootlegger who offers him a lot of pretty promises and an even prettier smile. Together, they set off on a run that will take them from mountain hollows to metropolitan hideouts, from backwoods shacks to ritzy hotels and all points in between. They couldn't be more different; Jared is unassuming, low-keyed, and Jensen is as flashy as his souped-up Buick, but they soon discover that they have a lot more than moonshine in common.

Summary: The most ruthless and notorious pirate of the Caribbean, Black Jared, thought he was just getting a pretty bed warmer when he made a deal for gold and the young man's body on the deck of the British merchantman. The boy shyly succumbs to his advances one night only to turn and viciously murder a whore in a jealous rage, and ballgown, the next. Nothing could have prepared the pirate captain for the young tutor's sly intelligence or mercurial nature. At first, he rolls with the boy's changing moods, but, with his crew's warnings ringing in his ears, a time of reckoning is soon at hand.
***/**** kinda out there, but, you know, pirates. And Jensen in a dress.

Summary: Five years ago, Sam Winchester failed the final trial, sending both brothers to opposite sides of the country. When Dean vanishes without a trace, Sam must figure out how to find his estranged brother and save a small town from the serial killer that's been terrorizing it.

Genre: Wincest with a side of I HATE SAM
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 41,500
Warnings: Underage (Sam is 17.) Brief suicidal ideation.
Summary: Bottled up in a borrowed Sierra Nevada cabin while their father chases demonic omens, Sam and Dean have nothing to do but hunt strange beasts and mess around with each other. Each tells himself it doesn't mean anything, but when the weeks are over and Sam announces he's leaving for Stanford, everything including their relationship falls apart. Years later, Jess dies tragically and Sam leaves Stanford with Dean to find their dad. Dean is Sam's anchor in the ocean of Sam's grief, but soon Sam starts suspecting that he's holding too close, wanting too much. Meanwhile, Dean has repented of what happened that summer and rebuffs Sam, but deep down neither can shake his less-than-brotherly feelings. When Dean exchanges his soul for Sam's life, Sam is determined not to let Dean die, or let their desires go unresolved. On the trail of the Wild Hunt, during a last-ditch effort to save Dean from hell, the crackling tension between Sam and Dean finally comes to a head.
* I got less than halfway through this story before giving up in fury. Sam comes on to/pushes Dean into sexual contact even tho he suspects Dean doesn't really want it, because he's leaving for Stanford so what does it matter if it messes Dean up? His actual thoughts are, I'll take what I want because I'm leaving anyway. He does this TWICE before the story is half done. FUCK NO, AUTHOR.

Genre: wincest with a side of I HATE DEAN
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Rating: NC-17
Word count: 25,000
Warnings: slightly grisly, but pretty much on-par with the show. lots of language, including colloquialisms for sex workers. there's passing mention of Sam/Ruby, Dean/Lisa, and Sam/Amelia—no more than a few lines each.
Summary: So picture this: it's 2007, Dean just sold his soul, and the brothers Winchester are hunting what they think is a vengeful spirit when Dean gets kidnapped, and they realize just how deep their codependence runs. In the aftermath, Sam and Dean deal with things the only way they know how (i.e very poorly). Then Dean goes to hell, things get messy, Sam thinks Dean's forgotten all about their night together...couple that with a case that ends up spanning half a decade, the most epic crossroads in the nation, a smattering of reoccurring characters, and you've got yourself a story for the ages.
* Another one I couldn't even finish because of the BLATANT Dean hate. GEEZ DEAN IT WAS JUST 40 YEARS OF HELL HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALLOUS AND MEAN TO SAM? CAN'T YOU SEE HE'S SUFFERING?! <--would be a better summary.
