Monday Fic Recs

Dean/Castiel
Fallen by ellyfanfiction
He'd almost forgotten why he'd fallen in love with Dean.
I seriously don't think I will ever get sick of reading 5.04 fics. This is a lovely Cas POV piece that's so sad and so perfect

Spilt Milk by sparky77
Sam tried the whole reverse psychology thing on Dean when he was seven. It didn’t end well for Sam or his stuffed elephant.
Aww! This is so cute! I love fics where Sam tries to play matchmaker, and there's some lovely Winchester backstory to boot


J2
Jensen 4.1 by sasskitten
AU. On his way to sit his final exam, Jared comes across an escaped genetically engineered, injured man who soon turns his ordinary life upside down.
One of the things I love about this fandom is the sheer variety of AU fics out there. This was really tender and beautiful

The Hazing of the Shrew by cherie_morte
In an attempt to get a little bit more alone time, Jensen convinces Jared to help him distract Misha by putting him through hazing before he can officially become part of “the group”.
Oh, this is cracktastic. Brilliant explanation for all those silly pictures of Misha

525,600 Minutes by faithwriter1986
After breaking up with Sandy, Jared feels like he's falling. With the help of his family and friends, he manages to pull through it and find happiness in the most unlikely of places - with his male best friend and co-star. But real life love is not a fairy tale. Just as Jared and Jensen are getting serious about their relationship and beginning to think about the future, Jared gets a nasty wake up call and fears for his career. Through months of pain and confusion, Jared attempts to figure out what he really wants, and how hard he's willing to fight to get it.
I love me some domestic J2 and this was lovely. Just the right amount of schmoop and angst


M2 (That's Misha/Michael Rosenbaum in case you were wondering. Yes, it has its own fandom name now apparently)
A Pretty Face Can Hide An Evil Mind by longsufferingly
Special Agent Misha Collins has been in many a sticky situation in his life. It comes with the territory of being a spy. He's like James Bond, but less English, and worse dressed.
OMG! Why the hell do more people not write this pairing? It could be epic and amazing, much like this fic is



Merlin/Arthur
Do the Contracts of Traditional Curses Allow for These Kinds of Exceptions? by conclusivelead
“’You do realize you must be a Frog for a reason, right?’ Merlin asked. In which Arthur is a Frog Prince and Merlin isn’t quite comfortable with the Concept of Kissing an Amphibian until said Amphibian is a Prince again. Then he’s more than comfortable. AU.
Hee! Oh, this is so cute and cracky and adorable

Standing on the Edge of the Earth by thisissirius
Arthur grits his teeth and feels Lancelot's hands on his back. "I didn't save one to lose another!"
God, this is what the episode should have been. So much love!

Pros and Cons by ravenflight21
Arthur decides the only way to cure his heartache is to marry right away. But the bride's family are a bit dubious about Merlin.
This is incredibly cute and so funny!
