Another list I’ve been meaning to get to for forever.  Sam uses his awesomeness to save Dean from hell:

Shelter Beneath the Mundane (5,100 words, R).  A very different take on it, but lovely.  Sort of a time-loop fic.  Really enjoyed this.

The Firefly that Loved Metallica (10,600 words, R).  This is one of my favourite fics.  It’s sweet, but also has a little something more to it.

It’s the Blueprint of Your Life (38,000 words, nc-17).  A really interesting fic, where Sam goes back in time and is given another chance at dealing with Dean’s deal.  (It could be argued that Sam doesn’t technically save Dean from hell in this one, but I say he did since Dean went to hell in Sam’s original timeline).

Kicks Like a Sleep Twitch (28,000 words, nc-17).  A very different take on it, which I like.  Sam starts using dreamroot during the year before Dean’s deal comes due, and it ends up creating an unbelievably strong bond between the boys.

The common fate of all (10,000 words, R).  A really eerie type fic, which really works, as it’s about hell.  I like this one—it felt so lonely and bleak.  Dean works in insurance, lives a normal life, and then he meets Sam.

Me and the Devil Blues (2,200 words, R).  A short one.  Sam gets Dean out of hell, but he’s not the same Dean.  This one is more complex than you might think, and stays with you.

Extremist Means (8,400 words, nc-17).  Another interesting take on hell. Sam saves Dean, and there’s Wincest, and it’s very wonderful.

Death Like Dying (3,100 words, pg-13).  When Sam gets Dean out of hell, Dean doesn’t remember anything.  Really lovely, focuses on the aftermath of Dean getting out of hell.

Amidst the Wars of Elements (7,500 words, PG).  More about the aftermath (Sam caring for Dean after, some very sweet hurt/comfort), but this one is quite lovely.

I’d Gladly Lose Me To Find You (36,000 words, nc-17).  I recommended this one fairly recently, on the mute!Sam post, but it fits perfectly here.  Sam saves Dean from hell, and has to give something up.

To Put Asunder (12,500 words, PG).  Sam turns to myths to get Dean out of hell.  An interesting fic with some lovely art. 

You Take It With You (30,000 words, nc-17).  A really fantastic story where getting Dean back is just half the battle.  Now Sam is stuck with an incorporeal Dean, and he can’t figure out how to get him back in his body.

Enjoy!

Soulmates! fic recs

for the anon who asked HERE, since you didn’t returned my ask, I’m going with these, mostly AUs in which the soulmate!bonding is a real thing.

Chinooks, Conventions, and Other Hazards of Life  In this AU world, soul mates are a very real phenomenon. While it’s
rare, people can find their soul mates and when they do they feel an
instant connection and have to stay together. If they don’t, both
parties get ill.
Jared is a semi-famous actor and a bit of a
jerk. He sleeps around and parties through his life. He really wants a
soul mate but at 31 he doesn’t think he’ll find one, so sometimes he
does the sleazy thing and pretends he feels a soul mate connection to
get someone in bed.
Jensen is a hardworking and shy 35-year-old
guy whose life has never been easy. When he sees Jared on a TV show, he
realizes that he has found his soul mate and is very excited. He hops on
a plane to a convention to meet his soul mate. He is thrilled when
Jared notices him and calls him his soul mate.
The next morning,
though, things don’t go as Jensen expected and both men find themselves
struggling to get better and to find their way back to love – each in
their own ways.

The Word of Us  When Jared Padalecki headed off to college he thought he was going to
get an education and eventually mate with a nice girl his Mama would be
proud to call daughter. He never expected to lock eyes with Jensen
Ackles and have his whole world turned upside down.  After
spending a week with his family, mourning the passing of his
grandparents, the last thing Jensen expected was to come home to his
roommate in the throes of a mating fever. Taking the high road, he moved
out. Unable to find an apartment at such short notice he found himself
moving back into the dorms and rooming with a freshman named Jared.

Hollow Years Thousands of years ago Pandora’s Box was opened and evil let out into
the world. Now it’s time for the box to be opened again and at the
center of an age old prophecy stands two young men;  Jared Padalecki,
whose heart was broken five years ago and whose visions might prove to
be the death of him, and Jensen Ackles who’s spent the last five years
running from the monster he’s become, and the man he can’t let himself
love. 

Cheyenne  An actor looking to hide, a quaint cabin by a beautiful lake and an old ghost story…..

Imprint In a world where love at first sight is a
documented scientific phenomenon, and potentially lethal, Jared and
Jensen still meet for the first time when they’ve both been chosen for
Supernatural; things just go a little differently after that.

Coyote and Wolf As a infant Sam’s mother, Mary put many protections on him in hope that
he would one day find the one who was the one.  The one destined to
complete his soul, to make him whole.  She wasn’t counting on demon
blood being introduced into the mix, or young Dean sleeping outside his
brother’s bedroom when they cast the spell.

Forever Destined The title says it all; what if two souls were destined to always meet?

Two-Spirits Jensen is a disgraced British soldier and exiled to a regiment in the
New World to serve under Captain Morgan. There he befriends a brash
young lieutenant, Rosenbaum. Jared was adopted as a small child and
raised by a native tribe. He has chosen the path of a two-spirit. When
their worlds collide, the lives of all four men are changed forever.

Courting Death  Sam Winchester lived the first six months
of his life in a happy family; the next twelve years as John
Winchester’s only son, and the last decade as an orphan. He’s supposed
to die at twenty-two trying to save the woman he loves from a fire,
because he doesn’t have a brother to pull him back. But the night Sam
meets his Reaper he discovers that Death is overly fond of pop-culture
references, too beautiful to be real, and reluctant to kill him.

Watching From Shadows  and its sequel Dawn of the New Order Apparently there’s something special about the boy, though Jensen hardly
feels motivated to figure out what it might be. He’ll just stick to
following his orders to protect Jared, no matter the consequences.

Not Alone 
Everyone has a mate and during his or her
prime years instinct helped them seek them out. Jensen spent his years
searching lazily at first but by then end desperate. Now he’s nearly
thirty and about to be legally proclaimed ‘Widowed Before Mating’
Because after nearly fifteen years of hunting for his mate without
success, it’s clear that he or she has died. Jensen doesn’t want to be
bitter about it he just wants his mate, because somewhere in him, he
knows he is still out there.

The Beams of Our House Are Cedars  There’s only one way to deal with the impact the
trials are having on Sam, but Dean’s not sure they can do it.

Faerie Ring
  Fairy Jensen is on his way back home to
the palace when he gets jumped. But then a huge guy in a shiny armor
comes to his rescue. As thank you Jensen offers himself to his
protector. And Jared? Of course he fucks the pretty fairy

Destiny Calls Five years ago, something happened to Jensen.  Something he could never
have predicted.  Now he’s happy, living with his pack.  That is, until
he runs across a wilderness researcher that will change everything.  But
will that change be for the better?
