The Best Things in Life are Free

Gen, 29k, teen
Takes place between 6.12 ‘Like a Virgin’ and 6.13 ‘Unforgiven’. Sam and Dean travel to New London, Connecticut in relation to a very puzzling case. People are inexplicably falling into comas and fading away. Baffled as to the cause, tension rises between the brothers as Sam begins to poke at the wall in his head, certain he knows the answer to their questions. Fairy tales and Victorian poetry get added to the mix as the Winchesters make some unlikely allies, but some things are being left unsaid…

Gen / implied Dean/Cas, 13k, mature
In a small stretch of land off I-95 sits Eulonia, a resident speed trap decorated in live oaks and only a few miles from the warm waters of the Atlantic. It was supposed to be an easy hunt—wife kills her husband and dumps half his body in the Altamaha, then mysteriously disappears afterwards. Maybe a domestic dispute or a witch gone rogue. Hell, maybe even a gator with a penchant for human flesh. But not this. Anything but this.

Dean/Cas, 20k, teen
In early ‘96, the Winchesters spent nearly three months in South Dakota working a case that had local hunters stumped and four families missing. John found and killed the thing responsible and they left that night, leaving behind the first tenuous friendship Dean had formed in a long time. A decade later, he’s surprised by a call from Sam asking him to come to Stanford for a repeat of a case from their childhood, and more surprised when a familiar figure shows up in the middle of it again.

“I told you buying so much of this shit was a bad idea.” “No, you told me I was obsessed,” Cas said grumpily. “I just felt they would give our house a sense of domesticity.” “Man, we don’t need some plastic old dudes in our garden to make our house domestic. We’re kinda grossly domestic without them anyway.” – In which Dean and Cas settle down after defeating the Darkness, but then something decides that maybe they don’t deserve their happy ending after all. Dean disagrees.

Living the Dream
fic by oceanbluecas with art by amberdreams
Dean Winchester/Castiel (Sam Winchester/Eileen Leahy), Mature
Djinn are nothing new to Dean. He’s been in this situation before, except this time, he knows it’s a hallucination. Here, monsters are nearly extinct, loved ones are alive again, and there’s a new generation of hunters in training. Everything is perfect, but perfect isn’t something Dean’s comfortable with. He sees Sam’s smile and feels Cas’s touch, and thinks of the eerie visions of another reality, one where he dangles helplessly in the dark, a ready meal for his captors. He’s determined to escape from the dream, because it’s a lie. It’s not real. Or is it?

Still reeling from Hell and the discovery of Sam’s alliance with Ruby, Dean is reluctant to work a case involving a rash of suicides in a small town. But even his unwillingness can’t save the brothers from ending up in the sights of one of the most brutal monsters they have ever faced. Appearing in Dean’s nightmares as a twisted copy of Sam, Dean realizes that his Hellish past and the secret he’s hidden since childhood could destroy what sanity he has left, and ruin his relationship with his brother forever.

Saving Grace
fic by zaphodsgirl with art by kuwlshadow
Implied Dean/Cas, Teen
There’s a scenic cemetery in Maryland with several unique features: stone bridges, a natural warm spring, infinity lights, and its own resident ghost.

The Sparkle Pony of Doom

Castiel/Dean, Mature

Who the hell moves an entire castle from the Rhine to goddamn Missouri? Dean, Sam, Donna and Max don’t know, but a free vacation is a free vacation. Unless there’s German ghosts, possessions, and unfortunate hotel staff, which mean the week away from the hunting life is gonna have to wait.

Survivor

Off the coast of Shelbyville, South Carolina lays a small island where people have been going missing. So far no one has said anything about the missing persons, until the Winchesters show up. Arriving as the newest batch of invited guests, all strangers, are about to depart for Stadio Island for the annual party to honor the departed James Clarkson. Cut off from Baby and her cache of weapons, working with Castiel and a grace-depleted Gabriel they frantically try to discern who or what is attacking the guests on this private islet before they are the next victims.
