If you only ever read one Jared/Jensen fic in your entire life, make it this one. OMG. I was pretty disappointed when I heard that most of my favorite authors were writing Jared/Jensen instead of Sam/Dean for Big Bang, but NOT ANYMORE. The Sam/Dean ones I've read were good, but they sort of fizzled away and left me unsatisfied at the end, but the Jared/Jensen ones are turning out to be REALLY GOOD.

So. THIS.

Do I Seem Bulletproof to You? by fleshflutter
When he can't find any acting work, Jared takes a job as driver and bodyguard to Jensen, who is an extremely expensive prostitute with a bad habit of attracting crazy people. Jared/Jensen; nc-17; 96,000 words.

It was worth the four hours it took me to read it. FOR SERIOUS. I don't stay up at weird hours in the night to read fanfiction, but I did for this one because I seriously couldn't stop. SO GOOD, YA'LL.

Lights Go Out and I Can't be Saved by popcornleader
An alternative take on Dean's last day. 1,432 words, pg-13, Sam/Dean.

This WILL rip your heart out. Be warned.

Tomorrow's Snow by not_refined
Snow falls and Dean needs to know he’s irreplaceable. 1,260 words, pg-13, Sam/Dean.

I asked not_refined for sadfaced Dean and she totally delivered. ♥

Amidst the Wars of Elements by destina
Dean hurts everywhere; there's a constant throb of pain drumming under his skin. When he opens his eyes, bright sunshine slants gentle warmth across his face. 7,452 words, PG, Sam/Dean.

This is a really unique take on how Sam saves Dean from hell.

Dean Winchester is a sexist asshole. And SORRY, but I kind of love him that way.

I also love the Blast From the Past edition of crack_impala. I always find something amazing that I would have otherwise missed.

Spark by pandoraiam
Dean Collins is a regular Chicago firefighter. Then he meets Sam, a mysterious guy who introduces him to a world he never knew existed. You can't run from the past, even if you've forgotten what it is. AU, 24,343 words, nc-17, Sam/Dean.

I haven't really felt up to reading SPN fic lately (haven't recovered from the horror of the finale T_T), but this is AU and ya'll know how much I love me some AU fic. Anyway... it's perfect. I highly recommend it.

The Gossip Girl finale is TOMORROW, and then all my TV shows will have officially left the building. This is upsetting.

If anyone is interested in The Constellation Awards, the deadline for nominating is next Monday. Just for fun, I nominated Jared for his performance in Born Under a Bad Sign (AND THEN I FORGOT TO NOMINATE KATIE CASSIDY even though I would have been the only person to do so). MMMMM JARED DO ME PLZ. Now.

For You As Yet by elanorelle
AU. Mary lives. Some things change, some things don't, and Dean's just postponing the inevitable. Sam/Dean; adult (for themes rather than actual content); 18,741 words.

Sorry, What is and What Should Never Be... but this fic is my new canon.

+ malcolm_stjay wrote me domestic Sam/Dean schmoop. Life is good, ya'll.

+ My sister is making me watch Kyou Kara Maou. I like it so far (I think I'm on episode six, hahaha). Wolfram is AWESOME. No ships yet, though.

+ If Sasuke kills Itachi in the next Naruto chapter, I will be very upset. Don't give Sasuke what he wants, Kishimoto. It's BAD FOR HIS HEAD.

+ I have an Astronomy test tomorrow and I think the tornado knocked out the server of the website that my professor posts his lecture notes on. This is ungood. Good thing you can get info on the solar system from Wikipedia!

Wow, it's weird to see that "celebrating 30 years" ad every single day from ja_fanwoman . I think I might have to avoid the f-list on March 1st. ILU JENSEN, you sure do inspire some crazy devotion among your fans.

I HAVE NOTHING TO UPDATE WITH NOWADAYS. WTF.

Fic recs!

As We Walk In Fields of Gold by thenyxie
Just a year in the life of your average incestuous three-way relationship. Sam/Jess/Dean, NC-17, part one: 7060 words, part two: 9915 words.

THIS IS THE BEST FIC EVER. Sam/Jess/Dean FTW omg. It's so real and true to life and angsty and uplifting and just PERFECT.

This thing of ours by fleshflutter
The Pilot – if the Winchester family business were organised crime rather than hunting the supernatural. Sam/Dean, PG-13, 14336 words, AU.

This is brilliant. Every aspect of The Pilot is incorporated into it perfectly.

I LOVE SAM/DEAN AU FIC. So much. And I can never find any. This is not acceptable. Is there a fic community for AUs only? Or do I need to start one in order to enable my sick habit?

I read this yesterday.

Darker Shade of Black by sardonicsmiley 
They say that no one can get out of here. Never been done. Never will be done. Sam’s heard that before, and Dean has never, ever, been wrong about his prediction on how long it will take them to get out. He’s good that way. Sam/Dean, R, violence, language.

It is chilling and GOOD. Sam and Dean as serial killers. Not really for the faint of heart, there is a lot of violence.

So where is all the AU fic hiding? I'm going to start taking your RPS and replacing Jared and Jensen with Sam and Dean if I don't find moaaaaaaaar. Give me links. Or write me something where Dean is a stripper and Sam is THE OWNER OF THE STRIP CLUB who makes googly eyes at him. You know you like it.

[edit] Also, Jared continues to be the most perfect man ever.

[edit the second] Jensen ALSO continues to be the most perfect man ever. *waits for f-list to explode with new Jensen pictures*

The Living Among the Dead by fleshflutter
Coda to Fresh Blood. Gordon/Dean, Sam/Dean, R, 1710 words.

Don't be put off by the pairing. This is SO GOOD. And stop looking at me like that. I have many OTPs concerning Dean. *shifty eyes*

I have another Sociology paper to write. That means IT'S LJ TIME. By the way, thank you all for the help on my religion paper! I got an A. \o/

Those Chicago Con videos. They totally made my life, if any of you were wondering. You know during Jared's panel when he was talking about that face that Jensen makes that makes him look ( like he's six years old? )

You know what else made me flail? When Jared did his Big Bad Blue Steel, and then turned to Jensen and was like, "You can do Baby Blue Steel." AWWWW. BABY BLUE STEEL. I am tempted to change my username now.

All the con stuff can be found nicely organized right here.

This writer's strike needs to end. Like, right now. Studios need to cough up the money. I cannot handle it if we only get a twelve-episode season of Supernatural. I JUST CANNOT. I have no doubt that Kripke has this huge badass season finale in which Sam saves Dean seconds before the hellhounds drag him into hell and they're all bloody and they HUG and there might even be CRYING (from Dean, of course) and I just NEED THIS TO HAPPEN.

And, fic rec. This is my favorite fic at the moment.

The Dark Side of the Moon by fleshflutter
In which a run-in with a water wraith leaves Dean deaf and blind and Sam struggling for answers. Sam/Dean (gradually).

I am such a huge fan of fleshflutter's work, it's CRAZY. You guys all should be, too. This is her mini-nanowrimo fic. There's one chapter a day, ranging from about 500-800 words, give or take a few hundred. It's SO GOOD. Reeeeead itttttt. Scroll to the bottom for the first part.

(I'm going for random moods on my moodtheme now. I just realized I've only ever used like, six moods. And I want to use the rest of the pictures because they're pretty, so my mood might make no sense on some entries.)

I bought a new hair straightener that also doubles as a curling iron! But alas, it's too good to be true. The curling iron works like a charm, but the straightener sucks sucks sucks. Yay for money-back guarantees.

I has a new layout. If anyone has those The Office pictures where they're all dressed in black, plz to be giving to me so I can add it to my sidebar of doom that is not quite finished.

I read this fic a while back and can't believe I never recommended it.

Cops and Graverobbers by minim_calibre
One's a smart, competent, sensible and cynical federal agent. The other's a wanted felon. Together, they fight crime. Dean Winchester/Victor Henriksen, 7,300 words, R.

Okay, I know, you're like DEAN/HENRIKSEN WTF? Expand your horizons, people! Give it a chance, it will probably surprise you. The author really gives Henriksen a great, believable history in this. Also, Dean is in saving-Sam-mode, which is always a joy to read.

You guys, I hate Dean/Jo. Like, so much. I would have liked Jo so much better if she had an actual identity other than "that girl who has a huge crush on Dean" or if Alona Tal didn't look so young. That being said, I have a fic rec.

Intersecting Circles by amchara
It might be a big country, but it’s still small enough to run into Dean Winchester. Several times. Too often, sometimes. 1700 words, some Dean/Jo, a hint of Dean/Cassie, PG.

This fic is so true to the characters, I think. I could actually believe it, you know? I've tried reading a lot of Dean/Jo just to see the appeal, and mostly I've found stuff like SAM DIES AND JO TAKES HIS PLACE IN THE IMPALA. And after I've read it I barf and definitely do not leave feedback because if I don't have anything nice to say I shouldn't say anything at all. ANYWAY. I enjoyed this fic very much and I think that even if you hate the pairing, you might enjoy it, too.

PS: FOUR MORE DAYS.

Gossip Girl premieres tomorrow. I seriously hope that it does really well, because the last thing the CW needs is another failed show. I live in eternal fear that the network is going to go bankrupt. :( Also, I fully expect them to air some Supernatural promos during the pilot. FULLY. EXPECT.

I have so little time for LJ these days. IT SUCKS. I hate classes.

So all I have are a bunch of recs. First, fic!

- If You Answered Mostly C by apreludetoanend 
In which Dean waits in the waiting room and does waiting room things, such as angsting and reading Cosmo and anthropomorphizing chairs and failing to recognize that the universe is trying to tell him something. Gen, 1550 words, rated for language.

This is just so quirky and fun. THE UNIVERSE KNOWS.

- The Dark Mirror by conquest 
In the swamps of Louisiana, the Winchesters find old evil. Defeating it makes them see their true selves: not demonspawn and damned soul, but what lies deeper, even, than that. Dean/Sam, NC-17, a helluva lot of words.

This fic seriously reads like an episode. Great monster of the week. :D Also, BEWARE SLASH!

Next, videos!

- Love Should by bigmamag 
A circle of love that is brutal and all they ever needed. A look into the love between Sam and Dean.

Seriously beautiful video. SO MUCH LOVE. Also, gorgeous song and great editing.

- Kiss Me by brunettechicc

I know this has been pimped to death, but this is nothing but nine minutes and fifty seconds of Jensen Ackles kissing girls. Aka, a must-see.

And lastly, fanart!

- Sam Loves Dean by entrance-zero

AMAZING x a billion. Sam/Dean, R. No manbits, but definitely not worksafe. I have issues finding fanart that I really like, and this one? I REALLY LIKE. Pretteh.

My campus just had a fire drill (I'm assuming it was a false alarm) and threw everyone out of the library. I'm glad I wasn't actually studying or else I'd have been pretty mad. I WAS in the middle of writing this entry, though. Thank goodness for automatically-saving-LJ-drafts.

YOU GUYS. Seriously. Why is there not more Sam/Jess/Dean in this fandom? WHY? IT IS OBVIOUSLY THE BEST THING EVER.

LOOK.

Flight Into and Headfirst by dew_chan

Flight Into is Sam/Jess (plus voyeur!Dean on the side), and Headfirst is Sam/Jess/Dean. And they are both completely awesome and you would never ever guess that this is first-time SPN fic for Dew! (Not as in first time sex, but first-time writing fic for the show. God.) Read them in order, they're short and sweet and WONDERFUL.

Also, hello. Who HASN'T WATCHED THE SEASON TWO GAG REEL YET? I'm on Team Padalecki. I would totally wear that on my head.

I'm going to Michigan to visit my amazing family. I'll be gone from July 9th to the 20th. HOW WILL I GET BY WITHOUT YOU GUYS. :( LJ withdrawal is already kicking in. Feel free to spam this post with hot pictures of Jared. Jensen, too.

I leave with recs/pictures/random blathering.

I'll Take My Chance on a Beautiful Stranger by fleshflutter
In which a hustler meets a boy from Stanford. Sam/Dean, 3854 words, R. Outsider POV.

This fic is so good, seriously. Just read it. I don't think I've ever read a fic all about Dean where his name isn't even mentioned once. It's that amazing.

Love Means by ficwriter1966
Her name was Cassie, and when Dean told her the truth, she freaked. Gen, 1,965 words, G.

Cassie is not present in this fic. This is about Dean dealing with the aftermath (with some help from John). Dean's emotions are very raw and painful in this. Angst ftw, especially angst caused by Cassie.

Gee, Mister Kripke by barkinmad

NOW THIS. This is simply a masterpiece. barkinmad pretty much combined West Side Story and Supernatural together to write this amazingly funny song. It sort of mentions the season 3 spoilers, so be warned. IT'S SO COOL. Leave her comments, whores.

Gotta go finish packing now. \o/ And I know everyone has seen the pretty in pink Ackles photoshoot, but it would be a crime if I didn't post them here. For serious.




But to be honest this is probably one of my least favorite shoots. I think Ackles looks kind of unattractive. *flees* Emma Stone looks so pretty, like Lindsay Lohan used to look back when she still resembled a human.

PS: Filming for Supernatural season three starts July 16. The Padackles are down to their last week of freedom. Mwahahaha.

[edit] OMG I JUST SAW THE FOURTH PICTURE AND IT MADE ME COMPLETELY CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE PHOTOSHOOT. IT IS BEAUTIFUL. NOW PLEASE, JENSEN ACKLES, MAKE OUT WITH EMMA STONE. See the full-sized picture here.

Forget about The Great LJ Purge for a minute and read this fic.

The Noise of Stars by rememberbefore
Even when you know it's coming, dealing with the consequences of a deal made with a demon is never easy. 2,900 words, gen.

This is the best post-Dean's-deal fic I've read so far. It's so, so good. Everyone's been writing such great fic about this, but I've been searching for one that goes beyond the night the hellhounds come clawing at the door, and this does. I ♥ it.

I REVAMPED MY USERINFO. \o/

Here there be fic that totally moved me.

Paper Diamonds by papered
"There's no higher power - there's no God." - Dean Winchester, Houses of the Holy. Dean's road to regaining his faith.

This is so, so sweet. I mean, c'mon. Dean's road to regaining his faith. That should hook you right there. This is a really beautiful piece.

Life As We Know It by sevenfists
Our boys buy curtains and fall in love. Sam/Dean. (It's actually more than buying curtains, I promise. Sam gets hurt, Dean angsts up the WAZOO (like, with nightmares and everything), and it's just so omg yay.)

THIS IS SO GOOD. And you know it's good when I think it's good because I'm not even a hardcore Sam/Dean shipper. I really think that even people who only like Supernatural het can enjoy this, because the same qualms most people have about incest? Dean has them, too. They're not just ignored in this.

It's In Those Moments by dontyouwaitup
Sam tells Dean about Jessica and remembers telling Jessica about Dean.

This gave me tears. Like, real tears in my freakin eyes. It's just so gorgeous and moving. Reeeead iiiiiit.

Anyway. There's a new article about Ackles at dean_sam but it's in Japanese, and I quit before I learned to read and write characters. REGRET. But there is a smiley picture on the second page. SMILEY ACKLES FTW.



[edit] I love how in 3491791748723 interviews/articles/events Ackles wears a black shirt and jeans. Ilu you and your boring yet so hot wardrobe, bb. ♥

This saddens me.

HIATUS.

So when I suddenly stop commenting, it's not because I'm dead. I cannot stay away from LJ on Thursday night, though (gotta make the squee post). But I'm staying away all other times until finals are over, because I am swamped. And I really need to get my ass in gear if I'm going to finish everything. My last final is on May 3rd. Fancy that, just in time for a new episode of Supernatural. \o/

Anyway, I leave with fic recs.

Crisis Averted by mistojen
Jensen opens his mouth to speak but decides he’d be wasting air by doing so and instead just lifts his head ever so slightly to nod.
Summary: Jensen asthma; Jared confession.

It's J2 RPS, which I'll admit I'm still a little freaked out by, but this is absolutely sweet and realistic. It's clean. :) Umm, it's rated R, but I have no idea why. I'd say G. Or PG. Just read it, it's cute (even though asthma is serious).

AND THIS.

When You Put Your Arms Around Me by kroki_refur
Dean knows you can lose someone in minutes, lose your entire life in less time than it takes to boil an egg.
Summary: The witch is defeated, the hunt's over, and all's right with the world. Yeah, we all know how long that's gonna last. Hurt!Sam and Angsty!Dean, because it's awesome. No pairings. WIP.

Seriously, this is the best EVER. There is Dean angst up the wazoo, and it's GOOD. If you haven't read any of kroki_refur's stuff, you're missing out on life. Her Dean voice is so good that sometimes I think Kripke should take some advice from her. It's amazing. You'll fall in love, I promise.

Fic recs! All are gen unless a pairing is stated.

When Heroes Go Down (They Go Down Fast) by buffyaddict13
Chapter One Chapter Two
The war is at hand. It’s demon against man and we’re losing the fight. The special children are wreaking havoc across the land, side by side with demons. Dean is on a desperate hunt to find and save his brother while leading a small band of survivors to a final showdown.

Seriously, if you're not reading this, you are missing out. Big time. IT'S THE APOCALYPSE! This story is so thought-out and the characterization is perfect and if you love Andy, THERE IS ANDY. It's a fantastic work in progress.

You Tasted All My Purity by conquest.
AU. John dies when the Dean is eighteen, and he's got to look after Sammy. Since all he's got is his smart mouth, it's a slippery slope from then on. Sam/Dean, Dean/Various OMCs

This has hooker!Dean. That is all. Oh yeah, and it's all hurty and angsty and stuff. And did I say hooker!Dean?

How To Save A Life by EFW.
Tag to Born Under a Bad Sign – what happens when Sam must save Dean, because there is no such thing as a simple bullet wound.

This is everything I wished had happened after BUABS. It would have made for some good TV. Includes hurt!Dean.

The Pebble In Your Shoe by dev_earl
In the end, Dean still carried the biggest weight but just like the way he didn’t drop Sam the night of the fire, the way he didn’t shoot when Sam’s voice screamed for him to, he was going to hold on.

There is angst. Like whoa. This is beyond words. Just read it.

AAAAAND

( The color meme! )

[edit] I got tired of my banner real quick. XD So I put a simpler one up and I like it better. \o/
