Best Fluff: Time heals all wounds, especially good times. This week’s pick for Best Fluff is Some For Now, Some For Later by @jpadjackles. I didn’t stop grinning during this whole fic. Teeth-rotting fluff with Sammy. This is an AU, yeah I know. But it was also the warmest and fuzziest thing I’ve read this week. Warnings: fluff, like literally its all fluff Snippet:“Have you ever kissed a girl. Like on the lips,” you repeat. “No, have you?” ;“I don’t like girls,” you laugh. Sam looks down at his feet.“You’ve never had your first kiss?”

Best Angst: No one in the history of torture's been tortured with torture like the torture you'll be tortured with This week’s Best Angst winner belongs to Fix You by @impala-dreamer . I am 100% guilty of binging this, screaming at my phone, and laughing in relief like an idiot at any hint of fluff. It’s a very tense read, please see warnings before reading. ; Series Warnings: Angst, Memory Loss, Mentions of rape and torture, Lots of Tears. Snippet:“There’s a broom…” you opened a skinny door by the pantry, “yup, right here. And cereal! Sam likes Corn Flakes… they’re above the fridge; and I always dump two spoonfuls of sugar on mine because they taste like…” “Cardboard,” Dean finished for you.

Best Smut: I like to think it’s because of my perky nipples The sinner of the week is officially @bringmesomepie56 with her absolute of filth that is Mind Reader. Holy mother of fuck this is dirty, and I loved every minute of it. I’m a sucker for a reader who isn’t afraid to curse like a sailor. Dean’s POV really adds to the hot factor. Warnings: angst adjacent, smut, dirty talk, LOTS of language Snippet: Dear lord. Why does he have to lick his lips like that? It’s like he is begging me to stare at them. Or pull them into my mouth. Ugh. God, what I wouldn’t give to feel those beautiful things against my…;

Best AU: We make our own future This week’s Best AU winner is @torn-and-frayed with the absolutely jaw-dropping masterpiece, Art Therapy. This work really strikes a chord with Dean’s innate sense to take care of innocent people. Art Teacher!Dean is a great take on one of my favorite boys. Warnings: Extremely minor character death, elective mutism of a child, flangst Snippet: “I know he needs a friend.” Dean spoke softly, eyes soft as he looked at you. “Someone that gets it. And if anyone gets it, I do.”

QUESTION:

Doc and Dean How is married life with your little one? Have you had many sleepless nights? Doc. You are truly the strongest woman I know. And how is uncle Sammy dealing with Jonah? Btw I love his name. Much love to my favorite family. I hope his tummy troubles end soon momma 😘😘 Also 1 question for Dean... how did you deal with the birth of your son really??? Much love to you all

ANSWER:

DOC (grinning from ear to ear): Awe, well aren’t you just the sweetest?

DEAN: They’re not wrong. (Glances at Reader) You’re tough as nails.

DOC: (Winking at Dean) Right back atcha, Winchester…. And to answer the first question, I guess I’d have to say married life is definitely a little different these days. (Watching Dean) Right?

Dean (nodding): Right. Life with a baby around is like married life on steroids. Everything is just suddenly kicked up to a ten.

DOC: That’s a good way of putting it. When we’re tired we’re exhausted. When we’re hungry it’s like we’re starving because we forgot to eat lunch while taking care of the baby. It’s definitely all amped up. Not too many actual sleepless nights, though. We take turns getting up with Jonah, so at least one of us is coherent and a little more rested at any given time.

Dean: I guess one of the biggest things for me is that I’ve been reminded about why it works so well between us to begin with. (Gazes fondly at Reader) Like, I see you with our son and it’s like falling in love all over again because the same qualities that drew me to you in the first place are the same things that make you such an incredible mother now. (Happily accepts a kiss on the cheek from Reader) I just, I never thought I’d get to be a father. I couldn’t do it with anyone else. And as far as dealing with Jonah’s birth? I was such a nervous wreck my insides were all twisted up.

DOC (Smiling at Dean and squeezing his arm gently): You were not. You did great.

DEAN (Shaking his head at Reader adamantly).

DOC: At least, you hid it well.

DEAN: You 100% took the reigns on that one, sweetheart. You were so cool and collected and sure of everything you needed to do, and I just followed your lead. God, I’ve never felt so helpless, and that was only okay because you were in control. That’s the truth.

DOC: You were my rock all through the labor. You went into your ‘Caretaker Mode’, which is one of the reasons I fell in love with you. And you supported me every step of the way. (Still gazing back at Dean): And I can’t take any credit for Jonah’s name. That was all on you. And I love it.

DEAN: Just seemed to fit, you know? He looks like a Jonah, and it was easy-

ALL THREE IN UNISON: -to say, easy to spell.

DEAN (Blinking, surprised) ...

SAM (Chuckling) Yeah, yeah…. We remember. Best part of his name, though, is the middle. (Smiling proudly)

DEAN: After the late, great Samuel Colt.

SAM (Face falling and turning to Dean as he rambles on): ???

DEAN: Inventor of the Colt Revolver and-

SAM (Shoving Dean’s shoulder lightly): Jerk.

DEAN (Barely acknowledging Sam’s shove, and facing forward gives a little wink.)

QUESTION:

Does Sammy get a girlfriend?

ANSWER:

SAM: Good question. I don’t know the answer.

DEAN: Would you tell if you did?

SAM: Probably not.

READER and DEAN (Both shrug)

QUESTION:

Hey Sammy! It was always you and Dean. Then you, Dean ,and y/n now add in the baby.

How does it feel to share someone so important in your life?

P.s your an awesome uncle.

ANSWER:

SAM: Yeah, that’s … that’s an interesting way of looking at things, actually. I know we had years and years where it was just he and I (points at Dean) on the road together. And that was great. I mean, I wouldn’t trade it for the world. But these two getting together (elbows Reader lightly) was just such a natural progression as far as relationships go. I definitely saw it coming. I knew right off the bat they had something, but it took them both a little longer to come around to it than I initially expected. (Chuckles as he glances at Dean and Reader who are nodding in acknowledgement.) See? They won’t even deny it. So I guess I’m happy to share because I’ve learned a lot about family and my definition of that has sort of evolved over time. And with Jonah here now, it just feels complete, you know? Sometimes things happen that you wouldn’t even dare dream of, and then afterward you can’t imagine ever going through life without them. That’s how I feel about Spider Monkey here and Jonah. And speaking of Jonah, I’m still figuring out what it means to be an uncle but I never imagined how much I could love the little squirt until he came along….

DEAN and READER (grinning like mad).
