Forgive Us Our Trespasses by littlehollyleaf
Castiel tracks down Jesse in Australia and the angel and antichrist have words
I don't rec gen fics very often but I am adopting this fic as canon. Castiel and Jesse are written so perfectly I could just see it happening on the show

Every Beginning, After All, Is Nothing But A Sequel by __tiana__
“Do you think we spend too much time together?” Jared blurted the question out halfway through a Mavericks game, mind unable to let it go. Jensen paused in his choosing of a nacho from the plate balanced in Jared’s lap. It was only then that Jared noticed Jensen was wearing one of his t-shirts. And possibly his socks.
What I love most about this fic is the dialogue. It feels so natural

Jensen hates surprises. Jared's job is surprising people. It shouldn't work, but it does.
YAY for Halloween fic! This is cute and funny and adorable. I loved it


Dean/Castiel
Though The Brightest Fell by thevinegarworks
So the Devil's kicking around the East Coast, Sam's at Demon Blood-aholics Anonymous, there's a self-deluded and newly homeless Prophet following them around like a kicked puppy, and the only angel worth a damn has gone MIA; Dean's pretty sure life sucks. Meanwhile, Castiel is stuck in Time-Out and has something Lucifer wants...badly.
Oh, wow. It's been ages since I read a good long epic Dean/Cas fic and this just pushed all my buttons. It's got schmoop, angst, bible lore, hurt/comfort and hot smexing. Wonderful.

How do you explain phone sex to an Angel
This is hot! Also cute and amusing. I loved it.

Beauty and the Beast by misslucyjane
Who is the mysterious creature who lives behind the high walls of Messenger Manor? Dean Winchester, an apprentice hunter, is determined to find out.
You know I have a weakness for fairy tale fics and this is just beautiful. Now I'm all self-conscious about my own crappy J2 version of Beauty and the Beast


Merlin/Arthur
Something Fragile (When You Hold Your Breath) by ras_elased
"What the hell?" Arthur shouts over the noise of ABBA. He glares at the horribly gaudy clothing of the men on the stage that is somehow louder than the music and flashier than the multicolored swirling lights. "This isn't a strip club. This is a gay bar!"
OMG! This is amazing! Hot and amazing!

Off The Deep End by b_b_banana
They kissed like it was no surprise; like it had been leading up to this all along, like taking one step forward and two steps back was an intricate dance and not the end of their relationship, like they were always going to end up with their hands clasped when the music stopped.
I'm clearly on a modern AU kick at the moment. I really loved Merlin and Arthur's relationship in this. Broken yet hopeful.
