Supernatural Multishipping: Fic & Podfic Recs

Title: Road to Shambala

Author: Astolat

Pairing: Sam/Dean

Rating: Explicit

Length: 6,095

Summary: 

Sam/Dean, futurefic, explicit.

My Note:

This is one of those many cases where Astolat writes the Supernatural I wanted for the early seasons rather than the one I got. Where not all ghosts and witches are bad and the ramifications of Sam's powers are better fleshed out. Also, the South. I'm always a sucker for the South.

Favorite Quote:

"Man, you're turning into a real princess, you know that?" Dean said.

"Yeah, well, you're turning thirty this year, pal," Sam said.

Rec: Best Writing

Characters: Powers!Sam, Guilty!Dean

Genre: futurefic, first time

Misc: The South

Title: In Four Dimensions

Author: entanglednow

Pairing: Team Free Love

Rating: Explicit

Length: 14,656

Summary:

It was easy to gloss over what they were doing when it was the end of the world. Where exactly do they go from here.

My Note:

A lovely story about team free love being codependent after stopping the apocalypse and having to learn to deal with “normal” post-apocalyptic life in terms of their new relationship.

Misc:

Genre: Porn with plot, established relationship, canon divergent

Timeline: Post- S05

Title: Things May Take a While (To Come Back Around)

Author: Shadow_Of_Castiel

Pairing: Dean/Jimmy, background Dean/Cas

Rating: Explicit

Length: 4,273

Summary:

While on a hunt, Castiel gets separated from his vessel, leaving Dean with a very confused, very cold Jimmy Novak. Dean looks after Jimmy while Sam goes to Bobby for help.

My Note:

An interesting take on Dean/Jimmy with established Dean/Cas

Misc:

Title: The Stationary Point

Author: rirren

Pairing: Sam/Kevin

Rating: PG-13

Length: ~4,000

Summary:

Kevin has a crush on Sam. Sam thinks this is funny. It's not so funny when he develops one himself.

My Note:

I love the idea of Sam and Kevin running together post season 7 and have such a painful weakness for Kevin being a little queer duckling with a massive crush on sam. Overall, an incredibly endearing story with the perfect touch of guilty!Sam.

Misc:

Genre: Angst, Fluff, Humor

Timeline: Post-S07

Trope: Hairbrushing, hunting together, age difference

Title: Work of Art 

Author: creedcascade and majorbrat

Pairing: Sam/Dean

Rating: Adult Audience

Length: ~5k

Summary: 

Sam’s got a plan and Dean’s a little bit leery. (aka "the obligatory tattoo fic")

My Note:

Told partially from the perspective of the tattoo artist. A great story that shows real respect for tattooing as an art. The intimacy between the boys here is fantastic.

Misc:

Timeline: S03

Misc: Tattoo

Pov: Outside

Title: Coast On Through

Author: philalethia

Pairing: Sam/Dean

Rating: NC-17

Length: 7,857

Podfic: by EosRose, here

Summary: 

A post-first-time fic. With a lot of sex.

My Note:

SO AMAZING in such a simple way. This ranks as so much of my wincest headcanon. It's basically a set of scenes showing how Dean and Sam learn to cope with the change in their relationship, but it's so, so much more than that.

Rec: Absolute Favorite

Misc: Atmospheric

Title: Ficlet (Sam/Dean in the Impala)

Author: fleshflutter

Pairing: Sam/Dean

Rating: Explicit

Length: 600 words

Summary: 

Sam loses his virginity on the night of Junior Prom on the backseat of the Impala. Classy, he knows - ask him if he cares.

My Note:

Just a little wincest ficlet by the brilliant fleshflutter.

Misc:

Warning: Underage

Genre: First Time

Trope: Car!sex

Title: lovingly crafted and tenderly packaged

Author: JANIE_TANGERINE

Pairing: Dean/Cas

Rating: NC-17

Length: ~17,400

Summary: Wherein Castiel owns a self-run t-shirts printing business for which he also makes custom orders, Dean orders Castiel's shirts online after Sam gets him a customized one and their romance is based on nonexistent boundaries. And where Balthazar owns the sex shop in front of Castiel's store and won't mind his own business.

My Note:

An adorable AU where Cas falls in love with Dean longdistance.

Misc:

Title: Two Queens

Author: belyste

Pairing: Sam/Dean

Rating: Adult

Podfic: by Maryaninx, here

Length: around 5k

Summary:

Dean tries to figure out why so many people think he and Sam are a couple. The answer is…surprising.

My Note:

Another one of my favorite podfics. This one is roughly what it says on the tin: a mid-second season Sam and Dean being repeatedly mistaken for a gay couple. Humor with just the right amount of angst in the right place.

Misc:

Genre: First Time

Genre: Humor

Title: The Lion's Den

Author: BewareTheIdes15

Pairing: Sam/Dean/Cas

Rating: Explicit

Length: 6,607

Summary:

There have always been these rumors too, but Castiel had assumed they were along the same lines as the taunts of 'cocksucker' and 'fag', more the failing of creativity on the part of their harassers than a legitimate accusation. He never thought that they were actually involved, much less that he would ever be afforded the opportunity to see it for himself.

My Note:

This is a great atmospheric story. One of the (sadly few) wincestiel au’s with great world building. Even though it’s short, it leaves you craving more. Sam and Dean come from the wrong side of the tracks in a small town, and a slightly awkward Cas falls in with them. For a short-ish fic that’s nearly half porn, it makes my favorites list for the masterful worldbuilding.

AU: Highschool, teenagers

Title: Holding Hands With a God

Author: Annie D (scaramouche)

Pairing: Dean/Cas

Rating: Explicit

Length: 7,269

Podfic: by exmanhater, here

Summary:

Dean is a superhero. Castiel is a mild-mannered reporter trying to get an interview.

My Note:

This will forever be one of my go-to stress-listening podfics. The story is a short but brilliantly crafted. In less than 8k words, Annie D crafts an entire world with brilliant characterization.

Misc:

AU: Superhero

AU: Reporter/Writer

Guilty!Dean

Rec: Best Characterization

Title: Enfleurage

Author: saltandbyrne

Pairing: Sam/Dean/Cas

Rating: Explicit

Length: 29,155

Summary:

Castiel is a struggling perfumer with a rare gift. When a handsome new customer orders a custom scent for his husband, Castiel is drawn into a world he never imagined. Dean and Sam have secrets, and Castiel might be the only person who can share them.

My Note:

I honestly don’t know how to rec this one without jabbering on like sycophant. It’s truly spectacular and absolutely stunning in it’s originality. And to top it off, the sex is great. I love love love this story with the burning strength of a thousand true-form angels.

Favorite Quote:

Castiel's face fights a war between “welcome one and all and didn't you see the pride flag wedged in between the moon-phase tapestries” and “what exactly are your feelings on extra-marital affairs with eccentric tchotchke shop owners?”

Guys. After a inexcusably long time on hiatus, your friendly neighborhood multiship reccer has returned. Posts might be sporadic due to, well, life, but I’ll do my best to keep up.

Hey guys,

Updated may be a bit spotty for the next two weeks. I'm in the middle of finals and haven't had time to queue up more recs.

Feel free to submit requests, though, and I'll answer them as soon as I get a spare moment.

Thanks for your patience,
