The Blood Of The Wicked, SPN AU, gen, rating PG-13, ~7900 words. Written for [livejournal.com profile] spn_summergen, author unknown.
Summary: Struggling with the guilt resulting from the accidental death of his father two years ago, FBI profiler Dean Winchester takes on the case of a spree killer who thinks he's on a mission from God. Not even his brother Sam's best attempts to help can prevent him from letting the case consume him until he runs the very real risk of losing himself entirely.

I like reading stories in which you don't have any idea who the authors are. It gives an extra edge to it, not knowing whether it's going to be good or not, and when you find out that it's good, you're scrambling for a re-read. Which was what I found myself doing with this insanely delicious story, reading and re-reading, trying to guess who the author is.

Sam and Dean as FBI agents? Awesome. Castiel as an insane serial killer, killing in the name of God? Brilliant. And there's Ellen and Ash and Bobby, all still very much recognizable as their canon selves. A perfect AU.

A schmoopily adorable love written by [livejournal.com profile] memphis86.

Five Kisses Jared and Jensen Never Talked About Before.

Jared and Jensen grew up together, they go to school together, they do everything together, they tell each other everything. They're Best Friends Forever. And Jensen just has to go and fall in love with his best friend. And that's the one thing that he could never tell Jared. Unless Jared falls in love with him, too. Unfortunately, Jared is, as per usual, completely clueless. Despite him being the one that actually kissed Jensen first.

The first one is on the playground, they're only about four. According to Mrs. Padalecki, Jared is going through "a phase" and plants one on everybody's cheek. But Jensen turns at the wrong moment and gets a big wet one on his mouth and he grabs Jared in a headlock and doesn't forgive him until he eats a handful of sand.

Oh my ...

Business and Pleasure by [livejournal.com profile] belyste

I'm totally and utterly fried.

Written for the [livejournal.com profile] spn_harlequin, it's unabashedly sappy and romantic and practically dripping with cliches of the harlequin-romance kind.

I ADORE it.

Summary: Jared’s a philandering CEO and Jensen’s his overworked assistant – that is, until Jared decides he needs to improve his image by having a serious relationship and chooses Jensen to be his fake boyfriend. But Jensen’s a little in love with Jared and Jared has ideas of his own, and pretty soon no one is certain what’s fake and what’s real anymore. Featuring dancing, denial, a lot of inappropriate work behavior, and an infamous office holiday party.

Hey, this is a harlequin-romance! But believe me, this one is a definite keeper.

But even if Jensen is a little more than half in love with Jared, he doesn’t let himself even consider the possibility of anything more between them than a working relationship. For one thing, Jensen likes his job – he’s good at it, he enjoys it most of the time, and the pay is good enough to make up for the rest of the time – and he’s not going to jeopardize it for a one night stand. And that’s the other reason that it won’t ever happen, because one night stands are kind of Jared’s specialty. It’s not malicious on his part – Jared grew up with everything a kid could want and probably shouldn’t have, and his privileged upbringing instilled in him the idea that nothing (and no one) are off-limits, and since very few people turn down a wealthy, handsome CEO of a lucrative business, Jared’s gotten used to seducing every attractive body that crosses his path. He’s kind of like the Paris Hilton of the business world, Jensen has thought more than once, although smarter and a lot less sketchy and without the stupid catchphrases, reality TV shows, and the crappy CD. Jared probably has the STDs and the sex tapes, though, which is sort of reason number three Jensen isn’t going to sleep with him.

Faint Stars and Bright Satellite Skies written by [livejournal.com profile] marishna.

This is a Jensen/Jared RPS AU, in which Jensen is a big time movie star and Jared is a regular joe at a small town in Texas. Jensen is there filming for a movie and meets Jared in a bar where Jared saves him from being beaten up by some drunken locals. They get to know each other and Jared, who initially dislikes Jensen, gradually respects Jensen and they subsequently fall in love with each other. But things are far from smooth sailing for them. Jared is straight ( until he meets Jensen that is ) and is engaged to be married while Jensen is a closet gay and has issues of his own with regard to coming out.

A beautiful story, once you start reading it you won't be able to stop. Fantastic characterizations - shy, insecure Jensen, despite being a famous movie star, with his oh-so-subtle courtship of Jared. The honourable Jared, determined not to hide his newly-found gayness but forced to do so at Jensen's insistence.

They lay in silence for a long time. Jensen half thought that Jared had fallen asleep but when he glanced over he noticed Jared's eyes were open and clear as they stared up at the night sky. Jensen got the feeling that this was the most still that Jared ever got outside of sleep and realized with a start that this was probably the first time that he could remember that he'd been able to do absolutely nothing. He sighed and felt some of the pent-up tension he'd been carrying relax from his body.
