OK, so after having spent the entire day lounging indecently around and reading mountains of fic, I think I'm finally ready to rejoin the living world. HI, GUYS, HI, I've missed you something awful! And seriously, June's just made you all into AWESOME MACHINES. Machines of AWESOME. Plugs! Buttons! Wires! Awesome!

Right. So. The recs.

You've probably already read most of these, and I'm sure I've skipped over about five thousand fabulous fics, but I've been navigating by the newsletter and that always makes me over-cautious about clicking authors I don't recognize. If you love me, you'll give me links, yeah?

WINCEST
Loud and Clear by astolat (NC-17) ~1,840 words
A mostly internal ficlet, with a sweet little twist at the end that made me grin.

Seaward by lemmealone (G) ~832 words
This is short, but it packs so much in I couldn't breathe by the time I was done. Absolutely gorgeous. [ABHL spoilers]

Fear is the Heart of Love by raina_at (R) ~3,922 words
A Post-Apocalyptic AU that really cuts right to the heart of Sam'n'Dean and has a great use of secondary characters. [ABHL spoilers]

Few and Far Between by sevenfists (R) ~2,500 words
Hopeful, beautifully written, and. I just don't have words for it, really. [ABHL spoilers]

Tales of the Wild Country by lyra_wing (R) ~3,765 words
Cowboys. Excuse me while I squeal into my fists. Too PERFECT.

GEN
Drive Until You Lose the Road by musesfool (PG) ~2,365 words
Post-ABHL, and just the kind of thing I hadn't realized I needed until I read it.

Occasional Demons by marinarusalka (PG) ~26,000 words
This is a fabulous casefile fic; it's clever and sharp and it has one of the best Deans I've ever read. [spoilers for early season 2]

Cast Stones at Dragons by trollprincess (PG-13) ~2,073 words
God, this hurt so beautifully. I've read it twice already, and, wow. [ABHL spoilers]

PADACKLES
Sticks and Stones by estrella30 (NC-17) ~22,000 words
One of those fics that builds slow until you're so thick with it that when you get to the end, you have to immediately reread it from the beginning.

Different Hue to Your Picture by notthequiettype (NC-17) ~2,350 words
I saved this to a word doc and I've read it so many times I have certain parts memorized. It's that good. [tiny ABHL spoiler]

Jiggle the Slot With the Thing by mijmeraar (R) ~2,000 words
Unabashed, drunken, lovable silliness that had me giggling into my fists.

So anyway, what else've I missed? I hear Jared SURPRISED Jensen by going to A Few Good Men? SOMEONE CONFIRM OR DENY, I am embarrassingly out of the loop. Have they announced their buttsexual love to the world yet? AND has anyone else eaten a york peppermint pattie lately? I swear they've shrunk about five sizes. It's obscene.

IT WAS CONFIRMED. There are PICS. He bought Jensen's dad SKITTLES and calls him 'PAPA ACKLES.'

NOT ENOUGH CAPSLOCK IN THE WORLD FOR THOSE TWO BOYS! ♥

ALSO HI BABY! I haff missed you.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

*GLOMP* HI. I haff missed you as well. What've you been up to, sweet?

I...must look away from the screen for a minute to compose myself. IT WAS A SURPRISE? Oh god, BOYS. BOYSSSS, my heart can't TAKE THIS. SKITTLES. PAPA. OH GOD.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

*holds you tight*

Falling into writing AMERICAN IDOL SLASH. *facepalm* And also rolling around in the wonderful big bang fics that are being posted while trying to polish mine up.

IT WAS. Someone overheard Jared talking to Jensen on his cell and I just. It was DAYS AGO and I still start smiling ALL STUPIDLY when I think about it.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

AMERICAN IDOL SLASH? There are people to slash on American Idol? I am boggled, dude.

ON HIS CELL. Ohmygod. *quietly asplodes*

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

Yes! Two of the boys. ADORKABLE BEST FRIENDS. It's a little embarrassing. I'm pretty sure I'm the oldest one writing fic for them, by at least ten years. *cries*

YES. And! He led the standing ovation at the end of the play! JARED LOVES HIS JENSEN! ♥!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Hahahaha, oh honey. Would you like some music to calm your FRAZZLED NERVES? *pets and cuddles*

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

ALWAYS. ♥

*HARTS*

I need this. I think i just started wank in my own LJ. =/

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

EEP. *pops over to see what's going on* I WILL DEFEND THEE.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

THANKFULLY it doesn't seem to be developing into wank.

This is why I am NEVER SERIOUS about fandom. I always end up looking like a tool. It's much easier to always act like an idiot and flail about.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

I agree! Not in that you're an idiot, 'cause you are CLEARLY NOT, but it's so much easier to post things that are not controversial. I don't understand how people can actively open themselves up for that sort of thing all the time. It's one thing if it's something you feel very strongly about, but...y'know?

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

♥! Okay, yay for not being an idiot and also for you understanding.

I can't imagine doing that ALL THE TIME. I'd be a wreck. I can't handle that shit, not even on the internets.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Me neither, yo. I get all nervous and giggly and start saying things like "uh, hey, you hear about that one time with the elephant who could spin dishes on his trunk?" to try to defuse the tension, which only makes people EVEN MORE UNHAPPY because I am not taking their HUGE EMOTION seriously.

Um. That was kind of naughty.

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

*LOVES*

That's why I just tend to avoid, avoid, avoid at all costs. And just post random things about Jared's cock and Jensen's ASS.

Which, go well together anyway. ;)

[peccare.livejournal.com]

HE LED THE STANDING OVATION AND WORE A CAP LIKE IT DISGUISED HIS GINORMOUS SELF.

;alksd;laksd;lkasd;klasd

That is like, the single best rec I have EVER gotten. *squeal like a spaz* Thank you SO MUCH. I am SO glad you liked it so much.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Dude, I read it during the plane ride back and I alarmed the woman next to me so much with all the noises I was making that she actually offered me a tissue and cough drop.

*bows down*

[notthequiettype.livejournal.com]

Haha, omg, that is too great. You are so kind.

[trinity_clare]

BIG CONFIRM. As quoted everywhere on LJ:

"Here's something SO COOL. While we were standing there, he either called, or got a call from JENSEN! I immediately perked up, because I heard, "MAN! You're AWESOME! You're kicking ASS!" Then he said, something like, "I wanted to surprise you!" He was quiet for a second and said, "Of course! I wanted to be here to see you!" and then he mentioned something about all the lines Jensen had to learn. He must have told him three or four times that Jensen was doing awesome, great, wonderful, etc. He was VERY sweet and energetic and you could just TELL they have a wonderful friendship." (from crownmewith_art's report)

Further link roundup by keepaofthecheez.

Also, yay recs!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

GLEEE, omg! Thank you so much for the links. *devours reports*

[schneestern.livejournal.com]

I have nothing to contribute. But whatever. HI! Guess what I should be doing right now instead of being on LJ LOL Stupid, stupid presentation.

Uh, anyway, ♥!!!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

*frets* DID YOU GET IT DONE IN TIME? DID YOU?

[plutogirl10.livejournal.com]

Hi Honey! *glomp hugs*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Baby!! *sits on your lap* HI.

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

Obviously confirm. Also, skittles! "Taste the rainbow, Papa Ackles! Your son and I do!" (True story. That joke has been trying to be made for, like, three days... ever since I heard the story. I kept thinking "There's an RPS joke to be had here about rainbows..." and it FINALLY HAPPENED! *so proud*)

And re: York Peppermint Patties: are you sure you're not just confusing the regular size with the giant size? They sell both.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I'm VERY sure I'm not confusing them. Seriously, the package? Same size it's always been. But inside is this tiny thing about the size of a silver dollar. THAT IS NOT A YORK PATTIE. THAT IS A THIN MINT. D:

[devilyouwere.livejournal.com]

Well, hullo! *SQUISHES*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

HIII, Hi! Eee, flailerooni! *glomp*

[larbd.livejournal.com]

Oh yay! This is just what I was looking for! I've been asking for recs so I can take them with me on the plane ride to Illinios and now I have some! Now if only I could wait till next week to read them. Im fighting the urge to click on the links as I write this.

*twitches*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

FIGHT IT. FIGHT IT!

The ones you should REALLY save for the plane are 'Sticks and Stones', 'Ocassional Demons', and, er, 'Exact Change' by dontyouwaitup, which somehow managed to NOT MAKE IT UP THERE.

[larbd.livejournal.com]

Ah! I don't think I can.

Well now that I know what I REALLY should save I think Im gunna try for the other ones. Just one. Or two. Or you know, the rest.

Hello, my name is Tatiana and I have a fanfiction addiction.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's sort of like a song. Fannnfiction addicttionnn, I can't keep my head on straiiighht, but I know Dean's exact weiiighht. Faaannnnfiction addict-TION.

[larbd.livejournal.com]
