Title: you were meant for me (perhaps as punishment)
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing: Meg/Castiel
Words / Rating: 2400 words / hard R for sex
Content / Warnings: hallucinations, temporary character death, blood
Spoilers: through 8.07 A Little Slice of Kevin
Summary: Castiel's in Purgatory, one step ahead of the leviathan and with no one's company but his own. And Meg's, but she's not real, of course.

A/N: written for spnspringfling for the prompt "wherever I go, there you are." I was tickled pink for an excuse to write more Meg/Castiel, especially once I lighted on the idea of purgatory, which has fascinated me as a setting since 7.23.

The last of my recs! More delicious stuff. I was a lot more organized about reading this year than last year, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the things and looking at all the art. Yay. This fest remains my favorite fannish event of the year.

Erg, this got long.

--

The Most Special, the Most Lonely - Sam/Kevin, R
Not my ship, but this comes far closer to convincing me than anything else I've seen so far. Set just after the finale, with Kevin feeling about how you'd expect, and Sam just needing some space, and them finding something in each other, maybe.

Hat Trick - Jared/Misha R
This is a horror/fantasy fic about a cursed hat shop. Yes. And it is both horrible and delightful. The author has a really deft touch, spooling out the story at just the right pace.

One More Miracle - J2, NC-17
Jared is the king of the land who has just secured his rightful throne, and Jensen is the right hand man who helped him secure it. I love this first of all for the worldbuilding, which is rich and fascinating even in the background, and second for the deep and equal relationship Jard and Jensen clearly have between them. A really neat vignette; I'd read a whole longfic set in this world.

My Rugged Heart - Sam/Dean/Jo, PG-13
This is a threesome-get-together fic featuring my fav SPN female character of all, but it's a get-together fic in which Sam isn't quite what he is in canon; his special abilities in canon have morphed to something stranger and more unpredictable here. And the eventual joy and affection between the three of them is just lovely.

Still Raining, Still Dreaming - Sam/Castiel, R
Post-8.23. Sam and Castiel, huddled in a cabin, talking past each other. Sam's fumbling to communicate; Castiel isn't even trying. A complicated, bitter, bracing piece of fic.

Better to Light a Candle - Sam/Castiel, PG
The softer, slightly sweet Sam/Castiel, also post-8.23. These are glimpses of friendship growing to something more, much to Sam's surprise - and a little dismay, maybe.

Nothing But Time - Ruby/Anna, R
4.09 wasn't the first time Ruby met Anna. I like what the other does here with Anna, showing that she always had sight beyond the strictly natural, and I also really like the Ruby characterization. Very nifty.

The Undone and The Divine - Ruby/Anna, ART
THE COLORS, oh my gosh. Watercolor, bright and vibrant, and the artist does some interesting contrasting things with Ruby and Anna's respective wings that are unlike I'm seen anywhere else (which is saying something - SPN fandom is extremely fond of its wings).

I have managed to sneak under the amnesty wire at kink_bingo and post a thing, so that I'm not defaulted and can play again next round. Four things, in fact! I'm so pleased with myself that I'm linking y'all to my card so you can appreciate my achievement. :D

I would totally rec my gift fic here, except I already did yesterday when I got it, but you should absolutely read it, because it is delightful. And in other things:

Handprint on the Driver's Side - Sam/Jo, R
UGH, so good I am just beside myself. Jo runs across Sam shortly after 3.16. This isn't the first time I've seen this premise, but I think this might be my favorite execution of it. It's all sharp edges here, and kindness is unwelcome, and the characterization is so good. Maybe my favorite piece of the challenge so far.

Synergy - Sam/Dean/Jess, PG
In which Dean rescues Jess from the fire and then has to figure out where he fits in. The conclusion came a little quick, it felt like to me, but the rest was all delicious and hurty in the best ways.

Under Electric Candlelight - J2, NC-17
The core of this is porn, but it's the feelings at the edges that hit me right in the gut. I feel a lot for Jared and Jensen both, but mostly Jared, poor kid.

Unholy Trinity - ART, Naomi+Abaddon+Kali wallpaper
It's so pretty! I love the colors. But the composition is super neat, too, and I love the visual motifs attached to each character. I'm putting this as my desktop, as soon as I get bored of what I have.

I was telling Ghost the other day that I am very easy these days: happy tropey fic with ladies just makes me grin from ear to ear, every time. And lately my cup runneth over! Lookie lookie!

First, the springfling fic for me was posted this morning:
Brave New Planet - Jared/Gen, for my prompt "science fiction AU"

YOU GUYS. JARED/GEN SPACE SHENANIGANS. They are both adorable in it, warming up to each other in very small quarters during a space voyage. The science fictional bits are way cool, too - there's enough there to feel like this is set in a real universe somewhere, but not enough that it overwhelms.

It is adorable and wonderful and exactly my sort of thing, and you all should read.

--
Second, almost by accident I discovered someone had filled a prompt of mine from Tropefest (which is for tropey fics featuring women):
A Clean Line Across the Sea by exmanhater - Gen/Adrianne

Is a PERN AU. :DDDD Pern AUs are a guilty pleasure and a bulletproof kink; you will always have me at "Pern AU." This one is delicious and delightful, and spends a fair bit of time just hanging out in the Pern universe before the shippy stuff goes into high gear. The author manages, IMO, to excise the icky bits from the canon, while keeping dragons and mating flights. And the side characters! Julie McNiven as wingleader! And Gen and Adrianne themselves are just as sweet as they can be (while also being, you know, highly competent dragon riders).

Crossposted from Dreamwidth. Comment here or there. ( DW replies)

We'll see if I manage to follow through and rec things all week, but for now, here are my favorites for the first few days (with the caveat that I read very little Sam/Dean and am unlikely to rec porn unless it's also got good character stuff I like).

Please note that all these are anonymous! Author reveals don't happen until later. Also, they're all under 2500 words.

It's Always Sunny in Area 51 - Dean+Cas, PG-13
Military/SF AU, in which Dean gets lost in the military complex known as Area 51 and runs into a nerdy scientist type with zero socials skills. Neat Dean+Sam dynamic, too, and the final image is great.

We Are Only Free Inside These Walls - Meg/Castiel, R
Every so often, Meg and Castiel play hookey from their respective duties and meet in the middle. A far future fic with some neat angel/demon ship aspects to it. Also, hairbrushing. I really like the interplay between them here.

Devil's Luck - Sam/Dean, PG-13
LADYHAWKE AU, YOU GUYS. From an OC demon's perspective in second person POV, which I realize will lose some people, but this is SO GREAT. It's dark but not too dark, the narrator voice is great, the slow unfolding of what's happening is great. For those concerned about the ship, it reads as basically gen expect for one line of implied Sam/Dean. It's great fun, y'all.

A Thin Veneer - J2, PG-13
FBI AU, in which Jared got stuck in white collar crimes years ago on account of freezing in action, and now is the one-man welcome wagon for the guy just coming out from deep undercover. This fic is mostly character, and very nicely done character work it is, too. The slow development of Jared's relationship with Jensen and the emotion of the finish really worked for me.

The Wall Between Us - ART, Dean+Cas, NSFW (gore)
Dean may or may not have acquired a pet komodo dragon in purgatory. One way or the other, the giant lizard in the picture no doubt explains why Dean is holding a corpse by its hair. Great composition, very dramatic lighting, this fic invites all sorts of stories to explain it.

When You Put It Like That - ART, Victor+Bela, SFW
Noir AU! W00t! Is he the world-weary cop doing what he can in a city full of scum? Is she the sticky-fingered moll who sometimes gifts him with information sometimes? They snark a lot, but neither of them ever mention that one incident when they got drunk together after a gunfight...

FYI, for those of you still wanting to post anon on the comment meme or on the post about anon memes, I'm probably going to close that option here in a day or two because of all the spam. :P So, get your comments in now (or else let me know you have something in the works, and I'll leave things open a while longer).

Or, is there a way to leave comments open on individual entries? That would be nice.

rarepairfest is running again. Nominations are now open here. I'm not doing this one; I think I've hit my quote of multi-fannish exchanges for the year. But the list of SPN nommed pairings is already quite something, and I look forward to reading ALLLL THE FIC.

1. Several vids to Adele's Rumor Has It, but especially a Dru video about Spuffy. ("She's half your age," "Just 'cause I said it don't mean that I meant it.")

2. ALLLL the RPF femslash roller derby AUs.

3. A Jared/Gen Dancing with the Stars AU where he's the celebrity something-or-other and she's the no-nonsense ballroom dance pro who puts him through his paces and warms up to him later.

* springfling is chugging along

* cherie_morte is calling us all to leave a comment today. And possibly also to mention what fanwork you commented on so others can view/comment, too!

* In that vein, today I commented on I might need you by signe_chan, which is the first Castiel/Garth fic I've ever seen. Castiel is a bit of a lost puppy in it, and Garth kind.

* There's been a lot of good discussion in my post about anonmemes, and one thing realization I've been having more clearly is how because an anon meme (or any similarly structured thing) is a neutral, communal space, I feel much less pressure interacting there. If I wrote a big meta post about whatever and posted it here, I'd then feel the need to interact with people about it; I'd be playing hostess to some extent. (This is because I'm mostly committed to answering every top-level comment made by anyone in my journal, but that's another issue.) On a comment meme, I don't; I can drop in and out as I please. And if it's anon, no one will even know who dropped in for one random comment and went away again! I am ninja commenter! So on the whole it requires much less energy than here.

(That said, please don't take away from this that I would rather people wouldn't comment on my LJ! Please do! It's just sometimes I choose not to post specifically because I can't deal with that social burden that day, especially if it's a meaty topic that'd need a lot of curating and engaging with.)

* I am amused that my Abaddon fic, written shortly after her first episode, is now pulling in new kudos. It's the very first Abaddon fic on AO3, after all!

* I'm still playing Fallen London. Possibly the most exciting thing that's happened to me all week was that I made quite a momentous discovery re: the identity of my main source of information for my Ambition (which is to bag a vake, aka Search for Flying Megafauna).

* The internet followed me into RL this week, although alas I do not have photographic evidence of it. There was a brief art installation at school this week, a big chalkboard on which people were supposed to write something they wanted to do before they died. Most things are about what you'd expect: "to marry X," "to run a bakery," "to eat a girl out." And then someone said, "to be Tumblr famous" and helpfully provided their Tumblr. And next to that, someone else wrote, "to see Destiel go canon."

YOU GUYS. RL MAKE-DESTIEL-CANON SHIPPERS.

* I watched the first three episodes of The Hour the other day (and am waiting for the second half of S1 to come from Netflix here soon). I like it! It's very stylish. I love Lyx, I mostly quite like Bel, and Freddie's an ass but also exactly the dark-haired, skinny, sensitive, brainy type I have such a weakness for. I was moderately grumpy about the disparity in activity in Freddie's and Bel's respective storylines in 1.03, and I can't say I like that particular element of Bel's plot at all, but otherwise I am well pleased.

likeadeuce alerted me to Reverse Remix, in which you offer a few fandoms to remix, and people ask you to remix their fics. The suggested length is no more than one DW comment, which comes to around 2k words, I think? So not an epic project by any means.

Anyway, I have offered to write two remixes in SPN, SPN RPF, and/or Buffy. Come sign up, and ask me to remix things! My sign-up is here.

(In particular, I think I'm the only SPN author so far, so I need some of my SPN peeps to come join me. :D)

(While individuals are welcome to link this around as they please, I ask that this please not be included in any newsletters or linkdumps. Also, I will probably flock this post in a couple of weeks, or sooner if discussion becomes uncivil.)

This is an anon meme appreciation post. Specifically, it is a post about the two anon memes that I've gotten familiar with, fail_fandomanon (pan-fannish) and spnanonhaven (SPN-specific), and why I love them.

Somewhere in the springfling rules it says that you need to respond to your assignment email to let the mods know that you got it and you're good to go. See here. So if you haven't yet, make sure you do! This includes several people on my flist.

Dear Panlexicon,

"Smugness" and "Autoeroticism" are not really even in the neighborhood of being synonyms.

Fabulous fanworks keep coming out of that comment meme from a few weeks back.
* downjune has posted another segment in her Julie/Jensen RPF verse where Julie is a city gnome and Jensen is a merman just come to shore. It continues to be quiet and lovely and wonderful, and this installment we get to see Jensen's merman form!

* a_biting_smile has drawn Anna and pregnant Dean (SFW), which as we all know is highly relevant to my interests. And look at them, so quiet and intimate together. Eeee.

Meanwhile, from outside the comment meme, Terms of Engagement by tcwordsmith is the Abaddon/Naomi fic I require after that finale. Yes.

Reccing is what makes fandom go 'round, says I. Come tell people about things you've read and loved! Or seen and loved!

(I suddenly realize that I really, really need an icon of Jared from that Mary-Kate and Ashley movie with the quote, "Is today my birthday?" Partly, let's be honest, because he's ridiculously hot in that scene, and I say that as a Jensen girl. But also because it'd be useful. :D)

from Brutti and likeadeuce:

have 115 works archived at AO3. Pick a number from 1 (the most recent) to 115 (the first thing I posted there), and I'll tell you three things I currently like about it.

Or, you know, three other things, if there's some other aspect of the story in question that you'd like to know about.

Title: Double Pointed
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairing: Jensen/Misha
Words / Rating: 900 words / G
Summary: Misha and Misha's werehedgehog boyfriend Jensen each have their own way of coping when life gets to be too much.

A/N: This is for a prompt in my ficathon (which is still there, if anyone wants to fill a prompt, although the LJpocalypse has left the comments a mess). It's really short and quietly angsty and also ends a little abruptly? But werehedgehogs!

(Speaking of, no discussion of werehedgehogs is complete without this, which I suspect is what inspired the prompt.)

Also On AO3.

I'm a little bit boggled at how many names in the springfling sign-ups I recognize. Last year at this time I knew a bare handful of people, mostly from that one friending meme, and now 3/4 of the names on the sign-ups are familiar, even though I haven't directly interacted with a lot of them. And some of them I have and now enjoy very much! Yay fandom. <3

This was my single favorite fannish event last year. It's described as "a rapid-fire double-blind anonymous exchange challenge, in which you have a brief set of prompts, a week to work, and a lower AND upper limit on the size of your work." It's great fun, open to both fic and art, and produces all sorts of yummy things. GO PLAY.

On one hand, yay LJ being back; OTOH, BOOOOOO that significant numbers of comments seem to be missing or misplaced. Like, half the fills for my comment meme have disappeared. (If they don't reappear in a day or two, I might go in and repost them myself, since I have them all saved in my email? Or just notify the authors. IDK.) It sounds like some people's info - inbox messages, for example - is slowly coming back, so maybe there is hope?

Feeling extra glad I changed my LJ settings so that I'm sent copies of all my own comments (carefully filtered away in a folder so that I don't ever have to see them in my mail). Also glad for the back-up DW that I have purely for importing posts/comments into from LJ.

1. gryfndor_godess has just posted a tantalizing excerpt of what she says is a longer story she probably won't write. WOE. Because it is this, a fic about the Winchesters+Bela falling into an a/b/o RPF world. So it is leading up to Winchesters+Bela+alpha!Gen hijinks, and also horrifying realizations about newly acquired bodies. You will weep that there is no more. (But you should read it anyway.)

2. But Where Would They Live by downjune, which is gnome!Julie/merman!Jensen and Jared/demon!Gen. It's everything I want in RPF, you guys: sweetness and worldbuilding and crack and rarepairs. Go forth and enable downjune in her very first RPF venture.

3. Winchester College for the Supernatural, by anon (although I have a suspicion I know who it is; we shall see if it turns up on my flist here in a week or two). It's to my prompt in the comment meme, and it's pretty genficcy (although there's possible Jensen/Danneel to appear at some point in the future?); it's Jensen arriving at college only to discover that he is apparently the only human studying with a bunch of supernatural creatures. It is exactly as delightul as it sounds.

Basically, the internet has been VERY GOOD to me the last few days, you guys. <3 <3 <3

I have made a SPN/SPN RPF comment meme! here at LJ! Y'all should come prompt things so I have something to write and don't feel silly

Crossposted from Dreamwidth. Comment here or there. ( DW replies)

On account of having turned in my big bang rough draft and posted my teensybang fic and my rarewomen fic, I feel as though I would like to do some light silly writing. Or some serious writing; it is unclear yet. At the very least some short writing. And I figured others might feel the same. Hence an exceedingly low-key comment meme!

MASTERLIST

Two Rarewomen recs and one Avengers rec I've been saving for just such a recs post as this.

A Battery of Signals by cordialcount - Inception - 5700 words
To be honest, I only saw Inception once, it was a long time ago, and I'm not sure I fully follow everything that happens in this fic. It is nonetheless clearly brilliant. It's a "Mal was Right" fic that follows after the events of the movie as Mal chases after the forger who's been wearing her face. The tension here between Mal and Dom, between Mal and her quarry is perfect and, satisfyingly, never fully resolves. Delicious psychological thriller (even if you've forgotten half the canon. :D)

Rin's Deal by petrichoral - Spirited Away - 6k
A fully fleshed out story of Chihiro's grudging friend Rin (/Lin), how she came to the bath house, and what became of her after Chihiro left. This is the Rin-centric fic I have always wanted, full of little details that ties it in with the world we saw in the movie. The author gets the tone just right while developing Rin into a person with a story of her own.

The Monsters Inside, by tristesses - Avengers - 6400 words
(The not-Rarewomen fic.) Um, so, this is a Natasha-as-Hulk AU, and it's good. 'Nuf said.

Crossposted from Dreamwidth. Comment here or there. ( DW replies)

This has been a hopping fannish week, y'all. Here, I think, is my very last bit of fannish news for a while: the most wonderful scarletscarlet, who previously drew me lots of bears for teensybang, has claimed me again for spn_j2_bigbang. (In theory summaries are anonymous, of course, but, as I suspected, apparently my summary was really super obvious to anyone who knows me.) She'll be illustrating the Gen/Jared a/b/o college AU that follows my other knottingverse fics and that I've wanted to write for a year and a half. YAY FOR FINALLY WRITING IT. Even though the existing draft is /o\ /o\ /o\

I am so tickled that I managed to finish a draft, you have no idea. I really, really wanted to participate again this year, and I'm so glad I'll be able to.

IT HAS BEGUN.

Crossposted from Dreamwidth. Comment here or there. ( DW replies)

Is open! I lucked out this year and got not one but two fics featuring beloved SPN ladies:

Scent of Blood by elliemurasaki
Amelia/Sam in which an outing goes awry and Amelia meets the supernatural head-on, which gives me my "Amelia Finds Out" prompt and my love for "girl saves boy" in the same story.

Lose Your Soul Tonight by tiny_white_hats
A treatfic about what becomes of Kate from SPN 8.04. Tragic and lovely. (Warning for character death.)

There's lots of other delicious things as well, of which I've read only a handful, but so far I'm particularly fond of The Autoignition Point by flistie lyryk, which is sweet delicious Tamara/Charlie femslash, featuring book nerdiness and also sex.

Title: Tea Parties
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Pairing: Dru/Buffybot
Words / Rating: 1300 words / PG-13
Spoilers: through 6.09 Smashed for background details
Summary: Dru has lost all her dollies, but she knows where to find a new one.

A/N: Written for brutti_ma_buoni for rarewomen. In her dear author letter Brutti basically dared me to write any two of her listed characters in the same fic, and this was the result. I meant for it to be gen, but it refused. Warning: I ended it with the most obvious pun imaginable, because I couldn't help myself. I AM ONLY A LITTLE BIT SORRY.

I, who thought myself a moderately competent user of very basic html, am completely bewildered by AO3's handling of images. I managed to embed my images for Goodnight Bears into the text just fine just fine in the LJ/DW posts using a handy dandy guide to tables, but the same code used on AO3 resulted in no images at all.

"All right," said I, gritting my teeth, "I will use AO3's rich text interface." (Thbbt.) So I did, and managed to not only unbreak the images (though I still don't understand why they were broken in the first place) but also get them aligned where I wanted them. Everything in the rich text window looked great! W00t!

Then I previewed, and now I have huge swathes of white space next to my images, rather than the wrap-around-images look the rich text window promised me.

UGH.

(Suggestions welcome. I am about done for now; I have to go to work soon. Yay for posting to teensybang, anyway.)

Title: Goodnight Bears
Author: snickfic
Artist: scarletscarlet
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairings / Characters: Genevieve/Jared
Genre: WEREBEARS :)
Word Count / Rating: 5200 words / PG-13
Contents / Warnings: underage kissing and naked cuddling, but no other sexual activity; mentions of mpreg; mentions of weight gain for hibernation purposes
Summary: Winter is coming in, Genevieve's first in a new clan where she's the future mate of werebear boy she's known only a few months. She's finding it harder than she expected, learning to live among these new bears. She can't go home, she doesn't know how to stay here, and worst of all, she doesn't know how to talk to anyone about it - not even Jared.

A/N: This is a sequel to Won't You Be My Teddy Bear (5000 words), which you may want to read first. The entire Bears of the Cave Clan 'verse may be found at AO3. For a quick rundown of the people appearing in this fic, see the handy cheat sheet.

Be sure and visit scarletscarlet's ART MASTERPOST to view all these lovely pieces (plus a bonus piece!) in their natural habitat and tell Scarlet what lovely, lovely work she did. I could not have wished for niftier art or a better collaborator. <3

Special thanks to scarletscarlet for her gorgeous artwork (I could not have wished for niftier art or a better collaborator), to gryfndor_godess for her beta, and the mods at genteensybang for running this challenge for us.
