Title: Pursuit
Author: hansons_angel
Rating: PG-13 - for language
Genre and/or Pairing: H/C, sick/allergicDean, Sam/Dean
Spoilers: mild S4
Warnings: Shooting and gutting of a deer if that's offensive to you
Word Count: 8000-some in three parts
Disclaimer: I own what I wrote. Just not the lovelies in the story.
Summary: Written for the Dean-focused hurt/comfort fic challenge. Prompt by mad_server, but I forget which number - Dean has hay fever. And on top of the hay fever, he's got two broken thumbs (or sprained wrists or whatever hand-area-injury you want to go with). So he's constantly sneezing (that's the most important part) but he's having the hardest time wrangling all the tissues. Not to mention everything else you do with your hands - he can't wipe his ass, he can barely lift a spoon to feed himself. He's sore, and he's cranky, and he's embarrassed, and he doesn't feel well. In a casual way, they're looking into a case that has them outside every chance it gets - possibly a displaced yeti (they're not supposed to exist but really who's to say?) who's got confused and ended up further south than it meant to and has been woken up early from its hibernation, or possibly something Midsummer Night's Dream-ish, with fairies in the woods luring humans in and then not letting them go. Bonus points if they interview somebody who tries to mother hen Dean in his sneezy clumsy broken-down condition. Quadruple bonus points if Sam holds the kleenex for Dean at some point while he sneezes and blows his nose.
A/N: Details inside. I -- I hope it's okay.


Pursuit

Fandom: Supernatural

Title: Good Country People

Author: silver ruffian

Rated: R

Word count this chapter: 2,704

Category: Dark AU/NoHalo(Benders)/John Doe 317 (Dean in a Mental Institution fic)

Pairing this chapter: Gabriel/Dean/Beck

A/N #1: This is an extremely twisted version of the John Doe 317 drabble fic and the no halo and one wing in the fire (Gabriel Bender) fic that I wrote in 2007. Bobby Singer, The Winchesters (Sam, Dean and John), and The Benders (Pa, Missy, Lee and Jerry) belong to Eric Kripke. I created everyone else. Missy is 16 when this starts out; she’s 20 four years later.

A/N 2: I promised that all heck would break loose today. This chapter was 20 pages long, with plenty of hell in each one to spare, so I’m posting both today. This is the second part.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Supernatural. This is for entertainment only, and not for profit.

FYI, spn_hurtcomfort currently has a Christmasy comment-fic meme going on! Nothing says happy holidays like h/c as far as I'm concerned, (lol, how evil does that sound?) so I'm VERY PLEASED by this development.

I'm currently trying to think up a good prompt that involves forehead feels!

Rating R (probable)
Spoilers: Set shortly after S3 "Mystery Spot," but spoilery for S4 "Heaven and Hell"

I was excited (but sad at the same time) to see that zatnikatel has completed her brilliant fic, The Killing Moon. (You may want to read the prequel, The Woods are Lonely, Dark and Deep, first.) Anyway, if you haven't checked it out before because of it being a WIP, you should totally give it a try now! You can find the fic master-post HERE, and my previous rec of it can be found HERE in a post I did a few months ago of WIPs to watch.

zatnikatel is going to be writing one of my prompts for hoodie_time's Dean-focused h/c fic challenge, and I'm already like a little kid on Christmas morning over it, I swear. Yay!

Title: Wearing and Tearing
Author: gaelicspirit
Genre: GEN
Characters: Dean, John
Rating: PG-13 for language and mature themes
Spoilers: None. Pre-series
Summary: With Sam at school, John and Dean must find a way to connect and survive. When John is hurt on a hunt, Dean is forced to pick up the pieces. However, when ghosts threaten to take Dean down, it's up to his father to keep him from fading.
Disclaimer: They're not mine. More's the pity. Story title from Led Zeppelin song of the same name.

A/N: I wrote a story awhile back called “Suffocate,” and in the writing of that story (thanks to the keen eye of K. Hanna Korossy), I learned that no matter how clear the picture in my head, there are times that schematics are necessary when attempting clarity in storytelling. This was definitely a schematic-necessary chapter. Also as I wrote, I felt the anticipation of what’s to happen in Chapters 5 and 6 roll up tightly inside of me, so if life permits, I’m going to try to get at least one more chapter out before Christmas. However, I make no guarantees. *grin*

( Wearing and Tearing, Part 4A )

I wasn't a big crossover fan, honestly. I usually didn't know the other show well enough to understand what was going on, or the character voices of one show seemed to work better than the other...

Well, these are just a few fics that have turned me around on the subject! I only knew one of the crossovered shows reasonably well at the time of my first reading, but that didn't hinder my enjoyment of these stories at all. And I've since gotten into all of these shows (A&E airs a Criminal Minds marathon, like, every day; it's GREAT) and can vouch for the fact that all the character voices are in fact, awesome. So now I'm all about the crossovers, baby. ;)

Break My Fall by chemm80 (post-hell issues, PTSD)
Author's notes/summary: SPN/Sons of Anarchy crossover. Jax can’t put his finger on it, but something about Dean is different; he’s changed in some fundamental way. Dean’s always been a hard man to know, doesn’t give up his secrets easily, and most of what Jax does know about him he’s learned from observation... There’s a strange energy baking off of him now, like he’s wound up, engine revved to the point of overload and getting ready to throw a rod any minute. Set mid Season 4 Supernatural, post Season 1 Sons of Anarchy, so possible spoilers up to there. Warnings: NC-17 for sex and language. This is slash ya’ll. Boys having sex. With each other. Rimming, PTSD!Dean, Bottom!Jax. Slightly messed up sex. There's a knife, but no blood play. Also, did I mention the boysex? Dean/Jax

My notes: This is hot and painful. Both characters are sharply written, and they play dangerously well off of each other.

This fic is part of a Dean/Jax series, btw, which you can find here.

Defect by Kikkimax (psychological issues)
Author's notes/summary: SPN/Criminal Minds crossover. Dean is finally captured by the FBI just as his time runs out. Takes place in the SPN universe at the end of the second season and goes in a different direction than season three. AU. Word count 39,686. Warning for character deaths. Rated PG for language and adult situations. Gen.

My notes: SUCH a cool AU, and plotty and character-driven besides.

If you've never seen Criminal Minds, it's about a team of profilers with the Behavioral Analysis Unit of the FBI. Here, Dean is captured by them just as his deal is about to come due, and is the subject of a psychological evaluation. Someone like Dean being anaylsed from this perspective is super-fascinating to me. Just a wonderful read through-and-through.

Hell, and Back by Kikkimax (post-hell issues, PTSD)
Author's notes/summary: SPN/Criminal Minds crossover. Sequel to Defect. Dean's having a little trouble adjusting after his return. Sam's going to help if it kills them both. Word count 42,006. Rated PG for language. Gen.

My notes: I seem to have a thing for PTSD!Dean.

When Dean starts having flashbacks from his time spent in hell, Sam enlists the help of Agent Gideon (Criminal Minds) to help. Lots more getting-inside-Dean's-head and brilliance follows!

How to Survive by spectral_scribe (mystery, hospitalization)
Author's notes/summary: SPN/House crossover. When Dean comes down with a mysterious illness, Sam unwittingly hands him over to Dr. House - a man they don’t trust and who doesn’t trust them. Meanwhile, the doctors race to figure out what’s killing Dean and end up digging a little too deep into the lives of the Winchesters, getting a frightening glimpse of a world beyond their own. Dean, Sam, House, Chase, Cameron, Foreman, Wilson. PG-13, gen.

My notes: It's interesting to see an outsider perspective of the boys like this, to remember that to the outside world they're accused serial killers, among other things. I enjoyed this a lot. And I've never read anything from the House fandom before, but I can't imagine that it's easy to find fics where his character is written this well!

Note: These are my personal recs, and to my personal tastes. Please leave any other crossover recs that fit the comm theme in the comments to this post so that others can check them out.

And of course you're always welcome to leave these or any other Dean-focused hurt/comfort-y recs you may have at our rec submission post.
