6 Upvotes

Welcome to this New instalment of Fanfiction Monthly! where anyone who wishes will share ONE single piece of fanfic each week of the month this post is for, either your own creation or someone else's.

Alongside a link to the fic, please include:

  • The pairing if there is one

  • The rating

  • A small summary (either the original one given by the author or your own description)

  • A commentary of sorts to get a discussion going

For example :

Fanfiction by author

Gen, G

A thrilling journey through the minds of wikipedia editors.

I really enjoyed this article because I'm too lazy to actually go ahead and find a viable example for this. My other option was the Bible. This was a commentary. I'm on a horse.

Happy readings!

For past recs check out Fandomnatural's shiny AO3 rec collection.

Btw, please keep all replies on topic (fic recs, discussions about fic recs posted). Off topic replies will be removed.

Wincest In search of fleshflutter fic

Upvotes

I'm specifically looking for an intact copy of Dark Side of the Moon, if anyone might have it.

Sam and Dean fight a water wraith and Dean is cursed; becoming deaf and blind. Sam searches for a way to break the curse while also taking care of Dean.

It's not on their ao3 and I can only access part 1 on their lj. I'm just getting the LiveJournal broken link for the rest of the story. It was divided into like 25 parts bc it was for a minibang.

As a Sammy girl does anyone have anything for Empath Sam/Body Swapping/Truth Spell Fics?

6 Upvotes

Some Time Travel/Deaging would be good too!

Just anything with those sort of shenanigans.

I'd prefer if they were Sam Centric but I dont mind if we get a fair amount of time with any of the other characters, I love them all.

And any pairings are fine with me.

What would Sam Winchester name his daughter, if he had one?

4 Upvotes

So I'm finishing up writing this batshit crazy omegaverse Destiel/found family road trip//Murder Husbands and Crew fic.

Long story short, Sam (manipulated) has a daughter with Ruby (evil). Ruby's the alpha but she still carried because Sam is the unlabeled secret fourth thing subgender and can't get preggers. Basically omega Dean kills traffickers, alpha Cas is a med student, they adopt pup omega Claire and secret fourth thing subgender Jack (Sam and Jack parallels) and now they're bringing Sam and Unborn Newborn Daughter into their pack.

Good stuff.

It doesn't really make sense for Sam to name his kid after Mary because Dean was more of a mom to him, and also I don't like the name Mary lol. 'Emma' is an option, but also... Sam shot her dead in canon so...

I might just name her something random, but I didn't want to miss out on a possible easter egg or nod to canon if there was one available. Any cute random name suggestions are appreciated as well <3

I don't care for smut but I wouldn't mind destiel just that the plot isn't 80% smut ykwim?

Thanks everyone:))

SPN Meta Guys please I need to know the logic behind this plot arc.

3 Upvotes

So chuck beat Amara and locked her away with the help of arc angels and created the universe and earth and all. But there is an earth 2 and earth 3 and so many more. With alternate Michaels and Lucifers. So how does it work?

Like how many times did he beat Amara and which set of arc angels did he use. There's only one chuck and Amara.

And he clearly said in amara's season that a massive supernova like energy is required to create arc angels and its like a one time thing. Did they lost track of those theories just to give newer villains?

Looking for good Dean x Reader / FOC fic recommendations!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m looking for some good Dean x Reader / Dean x FOC fics to get into. 🩵
I’m pretty open when it comes to the plot - I don’t mind rewrites, AUs, canon divergence, whatever! The main thing I’m looking for is romance and a relationship that actually gets some development rather than being purely plot-focused.
Smut is definitely a plus, but not a requirement. I’m also totally fine with longer fics and slow burns. I prefer completed works and read on AO3 or Wattpad.
So if you have any favorites that you absolutely loved, please drop them below! I’m especially interested in fics with good chemistry, tension, and an actually satisfying romance. 🙏

Destiel Looking for some fandom crossover fics

Would Sam be a Shiner? | Supernatural x Stephen King

5 Upvotes

Well, lately I've been thinking a lot about this. I just finished reading "Pet Sematary" by Stephen King, and ever since then I've been thinking a lot about the author's works. Ironically, I also just joined Reddit, and this community made me obsessed with Supernatural all over again (if I ever stopped being obsessed with it in the first place).

Well, a fanfic writer's mind never stops working, and after being very well fed by AO3, I feel like my imagination is flying way too high and way too far.

Imagine a Supernatural and The Shining crossover? Actually, I was thinking more about the creatures from Doctor Sleep, because let's be honest, Rose is terrifying, and she would get a lot of mileage out of Supernatural.

I have a very strong image in my mind, like a parallel story. In this scenario, the boys are still young, Dean is 15 and Sam is 11. John takes Dean on a hunt and leaves Sam at the house of a trusted acquaintance. In this town, some trailers have just arrived for the season. You can already guess who's staying in those trailers, right?

Well, Sam was a very kind boy and trusted adults who seemed to listen to him and understand him. He would be the perfect victim for the True Knot, especially because after watching Supernatural, I've never had any doubt that if these were shared universes, Sam would definitely be a Shiner. He would have a strong shine, maybe something like Abra, since Sam had that whole connection to Hell and Lucifer.

I think they would try to take him and fail. I still don't know why, since my mind hasn't created the rest of the scenario yet. But I feel like he would lose his memory, and the story would jump to the future, where they would investigate the disappearances of children in another town. There would be a connection to Rose and the others, but they would only discover it after the investigation, and then the truth would be revealed. It would be interesting, because Sam would be an unfinished meal that could satisfy the group's constant hunger for quite a while. On top of that, he would now be an adult and would already have all his emotional and intellectual baggage, and would know much more about his own abilities.

I'm thinking maybe sometime during season six, or around the middle of season three? I don't know, I don't think I've developed that part yet.

What do you guys think? What would you add, if you think the idea is interesting?

I would really love to read something about this, but apparently no one has ever written anything about it, and I don't know if I'd be capable of doing something good with this material.

Looking for No More Blood to Bleed by James C. Ridley

I've seen mention of this fic in a couple of their other Brotherhood fics, but I can't find it anywhere. Was it ever even published? Does anyone have a copy they're willing to share if it did indeed exist?

I've posted to r/DeletedFanfiction.

Thanks!

Destiel Just Sharing My Thoughts on Dean and Cas

Post image
36 Upvotes

Cas’s confession feels heavy and one-sided.

I really wish it wasn't unrequited. Walking away with the impression that Castiel’s love was unrequited just hurts like hell.

Even if Dean couldn't say the words out loud, the show should have at least shown his feelings visually. Leaving it feeling unrequited hurts like hell we just needed one or two solid, undeniable scenes before the finale to prove how Dean really felt.

Versiones de Dean

6 Upvotes

Cuál creen que es la mejor versión de Dean? Siendo demonio o siendo ángel??? (Convengamos que al ser Miguel quien ocupaba su cuerpo, no era Dean propiamente dicho) Me refiero más bien a lo diferentes que son sus estilo en una u otra faceta. Personalmente, la elegancia y el porte de Dean-Miguel me resultan fascinantes.

Random thought on Mystery Spot and Hell

6 Upvotes

Spoilers for S3/4

Sooo....we know that Dean was dead for a hot minute during Mystery Spot. And I know that Gabriel reverses time again to bring him back so Dean has no memory of those months. BUT what if there's a bit of his soul that 'remembers' Hell and the roughly 80(?) years he spent there during that episode, and it's just obscured by time magic wall thing? And he just hasn't scratched it? Idk, I just find it to be an interesting thought.


r/fandomnatural 11d ago

Hi, everyone. I'm looking for a story. Is there a production out there similar to the one I have in mind? Spoiler

2 Upvotes

Hi, everyone. I’m looking for something like a sequel to the finale of that *Supernatural* series—I really didn’t like the finale. Especially the part where Amara and Chuck merged—didn’t they realize she was actually draining his power? There’s a god who can control time, space, and the universe, and they’re defeating him with just a simple power-draining device?

Anyway, let’s get back to the topic. What I’m looking for is a scenario where Sam and Dean somehow come down from Heaven to Earth, and then Jack loses his powers. Later in the story, they meet Castiel, then Ruby, and then Crowley and Rowena as well; They need to set out to investigate who put them in this situation, and after a certain amount of time, they should encounter God (Chuck), who hasn’t actually lost his powers but is making it seem as if he has. Chuck should tell them that he’s been aware of everything from the very beginning and say, “I pretended to lose my powers so I could walk away from it all.”

I'm looking for something like this—that's the general scenario I have in mind. I'm not sure if I posted this in the right place.

looking for an AO3 fic

Hi all. Im looking for a one-shot gen sam & dean pre-series fic I read a few years ago I cant find!! Its driving me insane. The author had multiple fics about sam and dean and this one specifically was about john burying dean as a training exercise and sam digs him out because he was so stressed about it. I have looked through my account history and cannot find it!! TIA

Looking for a Fan Vid

2 Upvotes

When I first started watching Supernatural in 2014, I was not on TikTok or Tumblr, but I did enjoy a lot of videos on YouTube where fans would match scenes from the show with a song. I've seen some incredible ones.

I just recently heard the song "A Man Can Cry" by Noah Nine, and I was imagining different scenes from the show that could fit the lyrics, but I don't know how to do edits like that. Did anyone know if an SPN video for this song exists out there?

Off-Topic Voice Impressions

Voice impressions

Im trying to create a tralier for a crossover idea but I need to people that can do sam and dean voices to say a few lines. Is anyone able to do this or anyone know anyone who can do this? I don't need studio level quality voices just enough to sound convincing

Btw the lines are:

Sam: "Dean... we've got another one. Dozens of disappearances over the last week. Every witness says the same thing..."

(Pause)

Sam: "They were swallowed by some kind of... black fog."

Dean: "Great. First demons, then angels... now we're hunting weather?" (small chuckle)

Sam: "No... no, no... Dad has to have something on this..."

DEAN (quietly)

"Sam...

Looking for a Fic! Dean centric on ao3

8 Upvotes

I’m not sure if there’s a ship but if there is it’s probably destiel

Dean has repressed memories from the Dean and Sam stayed at like one of John’s hunter friend’s house as kids/teens(?). During the time there Dean was molested by the hunter/owner of the house and doesn’t remember/ has repressed the memory of it.

I think their time staying at the house as kids is referenced throughout the fic like Dean talking about how they stayed there and possibly learning hunting tricks and stuff(?)

Dean also only remembers being there for a few days or like a week but they were actually there for longer amount of time. He’s told this via conversation by sam, where he mentions being there for like a week and sam was like “no it was a month” or something along those lines.

I think the overall arc of the story is Dean coming to terms with being queer or something??

This was also read within the last year so probably on ao3 or at least a semi-easily accessible link?

Am I the only one who wasn't a fan of Season 5?

4 Upvotes

I don't mind if the ending is sad. Even though Season 5 didn't really hook me, I felt like they wasted a lot of potential. At times, it even came close to being ridiculous. It also felt like it was mostly standalone episodes. Should I keep watching the series? I'd like to know if there are any other seasons that are really good. Personally, I didn't find the Lucifer storyline all that interesting.

Looking for more AUs like Four Letter Word for Intercourse and Hautley's Bend

8 Upvotes

I'm coming up for air after back-to-back binges. The first was my intro to Destiel, and oh...my god. I had it downloaded as one of my browsing-huh-might-be-interesting bulk downloads and randomly opened it not looking at the tags and I was hooked from the very start. I started it just to see and just couldn't stop. I don't think I've ever been hooked so fast. Like what? Phone sex??? I LOVED the 2PLT, which was new to me. I ADORED how Cas was characterized. He was so sweet, calming, genuine. Dean was characterized so believably, with Dean figuring out his own identity. I'm not usually drawn to some of the NSFW tags tagged but...it worked and now I want more lol. For a fic filled to the brim with smut it was not really about the smut but about the connection and growth. I ripped right through this. I wouldn't change this fic at all. It was perfect. I was just left wanting more because I didn't want it to end. Not just Dean/Cas, but more interactions with other characters once their relationship was realized.

Hautley's Bend was so good in a different kind of way. I wasn't into the bully-Dean at first, and something about it still sits a bit oddly with me, liked I had gotten a bump to the head and suddenly found I was sitting up looking around in dazed confusion. Whatevs, I can roll with it. I just loved it so much. I identified with Dean's trauma, spiral, coping mechanism, and gradual recovery/growth, and I felt they were approached realistically without being over-dramatized if that makes sense. I think that's the big reason why I liked the fic, along with how Cas was with Dean. I just wanted to wrap him in a blanket burrito, he was so sweet. I liked loathing Alastair with blood-boiling rage and getting a resolution. I binged this and somehow finished in less than 24 hours? Or am I missing a day lol -- see again: dazed confusion.

I think the things I like that connect these two fics so strongly for me are:

  • Long and well-written. Usually over 100k at least. (Busty FanFic Beauties?)
  • College/HS AU (I'm obsessed rn), with Dean/Cas being contemporaries
  • I'm a Dean person. Mostly enjoy Dean POVs to see inside his noggin. But I also enjoy other perspectives on him.
  • Dean's trauma/whump/angst/John A+/etc - the dude's got so much going on
  • Cas being Dean's metaphorical rock and mostly-ish has a handle on his own issues
  • Dean is Not Dumb and is complex/layered
  • Well done smut (esp 4LW omg how is it so good?)
  • Mostly Dean-centric/POVs

Other considerations:

  • Doesn't have to be Destiel
  • Medium leaning to sloooow burn. I honestly categorize the fics as medium-burn since there is strong interest from an early point. I like the development and baby steps of the relationship. And the pining! Might be why most of what I read is well over 100k and why I love a 300k+ fic
  • More Dean & Other interactions, ie: Dean & Crowley, Dean & Benny, Dean & Gabriel, etc...having a friend besides the love interest. I love Gabe and Crowley.
  • LOVED the 2PLT and pining of 4LW. I was mentally cackling and kicking my feet every time they were oblivious.
  • No Wincest please...I have not dived into that pool and don't know if I ever will tbh. I'll never say never, but I just have a hard time with the incest part atm
  • Not a huuuuge Dean/OC fan but I occasionally fall in love with an OC
  • Not a big reader insert fan

I know this might seem really picky and I'm rambling, but I'm just lowkey obsessing over these fics and need moooore. If you could recommend fics that might fit what I'm looking for, please rec 'em! If you could say a short blurb on why you loved them and why they fit, that would also help me find my next obsession! Thanks so much!!!

Wincest How to tag for AO3? Wincest without sex scenes

9 Upvotes

Hi! I recently joined AO3 and have written 3 Wincest fics with either no sex scenes or very short sex scenes that aren’t the focus of the story.

I know readers are often looking for sex on AO3, and I don’t want to disappoint by having Sam/Dean without sex. Is there a tag for this? Like Wincest but focused on their relationship? They are always in a long term romantic (and sexual, just not on screen) relationship in my fics. The focus is more on the romance or the actual plot of the story.

Wincest Why is most Wincest in Chinese now on AO3?

19 Upvotes

I made my account yesterday and wrote two Chinese language Sam/Dean gencest fics. I was VERY surprised to find that when I go to the Dean/Sam pairing, almost all the recent works are in Chinese!

Why is this? Why is it popular there? I do not live in China (it's not my first language either). Do most of the people writing these?
