2010 Round 1 Rec Post

[bauble]

Given the huge number of stories that were posted in the first round of SPN Reverse Bang, I thought I'd set up a post for participants to comment and recommend their favorite art and stories that they've read so far. This can help give other readers and participants a start in deciding what to read--and help them find stories they might have overlooked.

Please comment using the following form for art recs:

I'm so behind on my reading, so I think this post is a great idea. I've got a lot of reading still to do, but here's one rec for now:

Fic Rec!
Title: A Girl's Gotta Do (http://keerawa.livejournal.com/121529.html)
Author: keerawa
Genre/Pairing: Jo/Ruby

Reason why: Femmeslash! Also, the premise is super interesting, Ruby's voice is perfect, and the relationship between she and Jo feels complex and organic, which is impressive considering it's relatively short. Art for this fic is also wonderful.

Are we allowed to rec the stories written for our art, or would that be redundant? :D Because I got two amazing stories and probably the best Big Bang experience I've ever had, and I'm happy about it!

[bauble]

Sure, why not. Just make a note that they were written for your art, haha :)

Awesome! ^_^

I have to admit that both of these stories were written for my art, but I'm not reccing them because I'm biased! They're both excellent!

Fic Rec!
Title: Sanctuary (http://thinlizzy2.livejournal.com/4872.html)
Author: thinlizzy2
Genre/Pairing: Dean/Castiel/Jo

Reason why: Because it has threesome goodness and a slow buildup to a really hot, dramatic relationship based mostly in the 2014 'verse!

Fic Rec!
Title: Somewhere I Belong (http://reapertownusa.livejournal.com/11345.html)
Author: reapertownusa
Genre/Pairing: past Dean/Jimmy!Castiel, Dean/Claire!Cas (Claire is 17)

Reason why: Because it's a pinch hit but you certainly can't tell! Awesome, fun, and angsty reactions abound as Dean tries to get used to the fact that Claire Novak has taken over as Castiel's vessel.

Fic Rec!
Title: Two Halves Made Whole (http://heatherofnight.livejournal.com/15912.html)
Author: heatherofnight
Genre/Pairing: Jensen/Jared

Reason why: Jensen and Jared as knights, with swords and fighting evil, magical things. What's not to love?
