ariadnes_stringA couple of lovely stories showed up on my flist this week that aren’t being cross-posted to any of the usual coms. They aren’t f-locked or anything, just kind of under the radar.
Both are love stories, of the intense, bittersweet longing, rather than the porny, variety.
Both are also future!fics--one non-AU J2 future!fic, one Dean/Cas set in the 5.04 AU.
Other than that, they’re totally different brands of wonderful.
In the spirit of the authors’ stealthiness, I won’t send this rec. post to the newsletter. But if you happen to be reading it, sneak on over and enjoy these fics!

Giving you the author’s summaries, and their warnings, which are almost as descriptive!

calamitycrow.
(J2, NC-17)
Summary: It's been nine years since Supernatural was canceled, and six years since Jared and Jensen broke up. When Jared gets the chance to work on another project with Jensen, he hopes he can finally set things straight between them. Some things, though, aren't so easily fixed.
Warnings: disability, alcoholism.
NB: this is a WIP at the moment--5/7 parts have been posted. But I expect the rest will follow pretty quickly..
As always with this author, the communities around the central characters are as interesting and moving as the Js themselves. And the things that have have led to the distance between Jensen and Jared are both plausible and heart-wrenching.
The Shame of it All byoselle (R, Dean/Castiel)
Summary: It's 2014, the world's gone to hell, and a good bath is hard to find in the post-Croatoan apocalypse.
Warnings: Language, sexual situation, unorthodox punctuation, no Sam.
Give this a try even if you don't usually read Dean/Cas. It's beautifully written, the post-apocalyptic setting is amazingly well done, and, as the author said in the comments to her first, gorgeous 5.04 fic, Once, who knew Dean and Cas would end up being the angstiest couple on the show?
