Ok so admittedly there are days when I'm not as quick on the uptake as I would like but it has dawned on me that tagging my entries "House"or "Supernatural" was a tad pointless as all the stories recced so far are from the Firefly, House and Supernatural fandoms. So, I'm going to go back and try and tag all the entries by author name so that if you want to say read everything I've recced by maygra you won't have to trawl through the entries.Just wanted to give a shout out to The Lawrence Awards set up by the amazing winterlive. Its's the first fandom wide awards set up for Supernatural media. There are lots of categories for Supernatural fanfiction and hell I'm already drawing up my shortlist. Nominations open May 15th.Artificial Exemplar by MayginGenI found this via a rec on TWOP and its adorable. Story of young Sam, Dean and a host of gummi bears on Halloween. Mr. Churbie's a friggin gummie bear Sammy; he can't hit you. You just killed an innocent. Sam expertly gave his brother the ˜oh my god, he's lost it look". But Dean wasn' backing down; he was in full debate mode. "Would you kill a man if he were possessed by an evil spirit?"No. Sam said defensively."Even if he did some horrible things while possessed?"Sam slumped, head tilted. "Dean, it's a gummie bear! He emphasized."It's a gummie bear that was used against his will". He said matter-of-factly. "And you just up and killed him". He shook his head. "I gotta say I'm a little worried about taking you on hunts Sammy with that attitude".Where You Land by sevenfistsGenBittersweet story telling the tale of the week Sam and Dean spent in Stanford searching for the demon after Jess's death. The end of the world, but Dean was here, Dean still loved Sam even though he had left; Dean, at least, forgave him. As for Sam, he was still breathing, which had to count for something."You'll live," Dean had said, and for the first time, Sam thought that he actually might.Caught in the Sun by trollprincessSam/DeanDean cheerfully rationalises his relationship with Sam.The World About to Come by esorlehcarSam/DeanCompanion piece to Guardians of a Rare Thing told from Sam's point of view.

SupernaturalDeo Volente by eighth_horizonGenIncredibly sweet Dean centric fic which has him pleading with God to keep Sam safe when a hunt he, Sam and John are on goes badly wrong.If you could see Sam you would keep him safer than this.If you knew how cold Sam was you would make sure he was found.This one Time, in a Michelle Pfeiffer Movie by trollprincessSam/Dean gender swapI like to think of myself as a discerning fanfic reader. I know that gender swap fic is too silly for words and that I should really avoid it. But then trollprincess goes and writes this adorably sweet, silly and vapour inducing sexy story which has the boys cursed so that Sam is a girl during the day and Dean a girl by night and my resolve just crumbles. Cute and hot and I just love the idea that girl/Dean is so teeny that Sam feels he could slip her in his pocket!

SupernaturalOut of this Darkness by maygraSlash Non-conAUAn extraordinary, intricately plotted, wonderfully characterised gothic horror/romance with clever allusions to Greek mythology which sees Sam and Dean coping with the end of the world. Poor Sam and Dean literally go through hell in this story. Utterly addictive (it may be nearly 50,000 words long but once you start reading you won't want to stop), its an emotional rollercoaster ride that will leave you wanting more.Superb.Death's Other Kingdom by Faye DartmouthGenDean must take care of Sam after he is permanently impaired after a hunt goes badly wrong.A very strong character study of Dean Death's Other Kingdom hands down wins the prize for the most depressing, saddest Supernatural story I've ever read! This story has just plain haunted me. It's agonisingly sad but manages (just!) to avoid being bleak. This works far better than some of the other dark fic I've read simply because Sam's accident and recovery, as gut wrenching as they are to read about are firmly grounded in reality and the story is all the stronger for it.Definitely worth reading.....just not if you're feeling the slightest bit fragile.Dean poked his 15-year-old brother, who was reading a book. "Sammy, would you rather be blind or deaf?"Sam went back to his book. After several minutes, he looked up again, cocking his head thougthfully. "You know, Dean, I'm not sure it would matter. Because if I was blind or deaf, wouldn't you just be my eyes or ears?"
