More comment fic, y'all *facepalm* IDEK, the thing mad_serve has going, with its thousands of minor-illness prompts, is just pushing my buttons like nobody's business....

Title: Out of Character
Rating: pg-13 (for language); gen.
Word Count: ~1,400
Spoilers: for 4.17 and a tiny bit for 5.03
Disclaimer: Not mine, no profit.

a/n: written for this prompt
a/n: okay--this is kind of slashy gen--as close as I can probably come to Wincest...

Summary: Sam steered them into the farther reaches of the apartment, feeling that weird phase-shift he associated with his dreams of being someone else. Like this was something that other guy knew how to do. Even though Sam wouldn't have thought that guy had any time for looking after sick people, what with the ghost-chasing and vampire killing and all.

rei17 just heroically put all the comment fic from April's h/c meme up on del.i.cious here . And that reminded me that I had never posted one of the fics I wrote for it. Which I'm doing now, but just for safekeeping/ recording keeping. No need to read: it seems kind of dated already.

Title: "Only Halfway Home"
Rating: Gen
Characters: Sam, Dean, Castiel
Warnings: set ~4.07, spoilers through 4.11
Word count: ~2K
Disclaimer: not mine, no profit

A/N 1: For this prompt: Dean has a fever or a concussion and thinks he's back in hell. Sam and Castiel have to look after him and try and talk him through it. Some Dean/Cas shippiness would be nice if you can fit it in but gen is also fine

A/N 2: I know I keep saying that I can hardly read any Dean/Castiel slash, and that's true, but I do love the character, and I clearly have a little kink for Castiel as deux-ex-comforter. Hackneyed use of an angel, I know...

A/N 3: title from "Wide River to Cross," by Julie Miller and Steven Miller, performed by Levon Helm.

There are some wonderful WIPs being written about S1 SPN, even as S4 is reaching its conclusion:

The Bright Lights of Disturbia by leonidaslion : At Stanford, Sam accidentally sees Dean in a hardcore gay porno, and goes kind of crazy with anger, guilt and lust. The events of S1 play out as they do in canon, while Sam pines for Dean and Dean suffers from the after effects of a still mysterious trauma. 12/30? parts posted so far.

The Drive 'verse by roque_clasique : Pre-series, Dean suffers a cataclysmic accident that leaves him permanently disabled and in considerable pain. Sam and Dean reunite, and, as above, the events of S1 play almost as they do in canon, while Dean tries to learn to live, and hunt, in his new body, and Sam struggles with a new relationship to his older brother. 9 stories in the 'verse so far; 6/? of the latest story, "The Good of the Few" posted.

Not that these wonderful stories really need recs: lots of people are reading them already. Of course, the same people might not be reading both, since one is centrally and intensely Wincest, and the other is just as intensely gen (with the occasional het interlude). And some people might not be planning to read either, at the moment, since they are both WIPs.

Still, they have a few interesting things in common:

MUSINGS (or why I think it’s interesting that these stories are being written now):

One of the things I love about fanfiction is the way it walks a line between two kinds of creativity: invention and interpretation. Now, IMO, all fiction walks this line, but, because it deals with pre-established characters and situations, fanfiction throws the interpretative dimension of fiction into sharp relief. That’s to say, fanfiction doesn’t simply imitate or borrow those characters and situations. Rather, it offers us an interpretation of them.

So, putting aside the amazingly inventive aspects of both WIPs, I want to think for a minute about how they are interpreting SPN, or, more specifically, the relationship between the Bros.Winchester.
