SPN Masquerade initial recs

If there's one thing that remains consistent across time and space, it's that I love me some recs.
 

So here are a few of my favourites so far from what I've perused of the SPN-Masquerade, while they still remain anon. I'm working through the pinboard so I haven't even had near a chance to look at everything. This was a marvellously productive round with some lovely fanworks. It's also got me writing for the first time in an extremely long time, so I'm looking forward to cleaning up and posting a couple of things.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4308970#t4308970 - Jared in stockings and thigh highs, doesn't need much more of a description than that but deserves one. Absolutely lovely, and there's a superb hard/soft theme going on between the muscle and the lingerie. More than worth a click.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4065258#t4065258 - WITCH SAM. I love everything about this, the detailing of the grimoire, the hair, the tattoos, this is gorgeous!

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4106986#t4106986 - cheerleader Jared. This is just everything, especially the pigtails, the legs, and the totally ridiculous costume.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4240874#t4240874 - Danneel/Gen. I am just in love with Gen here in particular, the little arch of the foot, the hair, the look on her face, and also the colours of the whole piece.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4285930#t4285930 - look this has otters in it, I'm already gone. So incredibly cute, and the otter is the star of the show!

FIC

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4340970#t4340970 - Sam/Castiel, tie-kink - I think this is one of my favourite fics I've read so far this year, let alone in this round. Cas's viewpoint is bleakly, fascinatingly off-kilter, and Sam is perfect. There's just so much to dissect that it's one to read a couple of times over. Just really awesome work all round.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4251882#t4251882 - Apocalypse, Sam/Dean, and in the space of one comment box this played merry havoc with my emotions, plus a final line that kills

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4196330#t4196330 - Sam & Dean, deeply unnerving and with more than a little fridge horror to it. There's a reason Sam keeps getting sick. Going to remember this one.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4316650#t4316650 - super cute J2 fic where Jared rescues dinosaurs, Jensen is a literal fairy and this entire thing happens in space. Funny, cute and hot as well.

https://spn-masquerade.livejournal.com/10986.html?thread=4306154#t4351722 - Dean/Sam medical kink with Sam cleaning up Dean's abrasions, with some lovely sensual touches and a lot of quiet tenderness as well as kink
