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.
 
ART
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

I finally got round to reading some of the fics - I didn't even get to my gift until late. So I went on a commenting spree and also a mini reccing spree. I'm not close to done yet, especially with the longer fics, and some of the art. Please do comment on the things that you enjoy.

First off, this is the lovely gift that I got from [livejournal.com profile] sophiap. Two of my highlighted likes were: Medieval AU (which is a concept I am far too invested in, and I mean really invested in) and Sam's face, and this delivers in spades. There's a whole story behind that image that leaves me intrigued, and also wanting to know exactly which supernatural event (or french attack) has Sam looking so tired and grim. Leave the artist some love :D

My own fic was the aptly named oh sea-starved, hungry sea (Sam/Dean) which was my attempt to articulate how post s6 Sam and Dean might alternately reconcile some of the problems they just won't talk about

It's taken me a ridiculously long time to do this, especially since I only managed two fills this round (though I have a literal MS Word doc with twenty two prompts staring at me with "we're not angry, just disappointed" eyes). These were the two prompts I couldn't let slip away though, both of them outside of my comfort range and pretty unlike anything I've written before, which was half the fun.

1. Love Tokens - my attempt at contributing to the thriving J2 serial killer fic business. Serial killers are generally not my jam, but apparently a prompt that offered the prospect of a serial killer wooing a non serial killer with inappropriate gifts of hearts in boxes was a hotline straight to my fingers. I just loved that idea of someone even deeply weirder than a serial killer whose strangeness just doesn't happen to take the form of killing. Also a chance to rip off Edgar Allan Poe wasn't to be sniffed at. I tried a couple of new things with this, and let the bit of me that really likes indulging in dense prose out of it's box for the day.

2. No Pain, No Gains - originally called Protein Shake Party, this is the single schmoopiest thing I've ever written, bar absolutely none, and reader, I revelled in it. This is 100% the story of two people who on the surface have little in common, gradually coming to understand each other through working on a shared project (in this case upgrading Jared's body) and very carefully beginning to let themselves grow. Yeah, not my usual style at all. I'm not one for forced misunderstandings or accidental fucking up, so in one sense this is probably very boring, but sometimes it's nice to let people have a decently straight path, and it's something I really enjoyed writing.

I haven't had a chance to read all I wanted to, but I'm anxious to get a few recs up before anon period comes to an end! So here's a sample of things I've enjoyed.

Art
Mad Max style, J2, (by quickreaver also found here) This is a perfect meld of Mad Max and J2, and the colouring works so well, plus the hair choices and proportions. Lovely.
The Boy with the Broken Halo, (also by quickreaver and found here) Sam, this is amazing and it really bounces off an unusual prompt in an interesting way - the Sam is so recognisably Sam, and yet so changed and confident and alive that it's a real question-poser in terms of how this Sam evolved.
fire fighter Jensen, (by dephigravity and also found here) super adorable picture of Jensen + puppy, with a look on his face that is even cuter than the puppy.
Steampunk Masquerade, J2, (by amber1960 and found here) lovely details - not just with the faces but the clockwork bodyparts, Jared's ponytail, the watch, the tongue and all the rest, as well as telling a real story.
Fic
Exceed His Grasp, Sam/Dean, This is beautiful and really gets across not just the physicality between them, but also the awareness of the divide - the final two lines are real killers.
two-legged muscle pickers, Sam/Cas, (by de_nugis and also found here) probably the most creative fill of the round for me - the true form sex is interesting and subtle, and the whole story feels layered and purposeful, and I very much enjoy Sam in it.
This Gentle Sin, Sam/Dean (by saltandbyrne and can be found here) this is incredibly hot - the visual imagery and the way it's used, and Dean's reactions to Sam's reactions, as well as the little hints of the compromises they have to make is awesome.
Dimples, J2 I love the affection and hotness of their established relationship, and I think we all love the dimples, so match made in heaven.
Catch Hell, Sam/Dean, (by indiachick and can be found here) I'm not much of a one for serial killer fic, but this has a finesse and a beauty to it that I appreciated very much - especially the brotherly edge, and the subtle interplay between them.
shaving, hair washing, Sam/Dean (by laughable lament and can be found here) two of my favourite things, and I really liked the relationship painted here and the neat way around their feelings - the unacknowledged weight of them, and the rising potential of more.


What have I missed/what do you recommend?
stripytights: (Dean and Sam)
I posted the first bit of this for spn_masquerade, then took a couple of months to add another 8K. So the first couple of thousands words may look familiar, but the rest is spanking new.


Title: as close as you can (not one inch less)
Pairing: Jared/Jensen
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Length: 11K
Rating: NC-17
Content notes: a lot of sex, stepbrothers having sex (no blood relationship), exhibitionism, Jared is 17
A/N: written for this prompt at the [livejournal.com profile] spn_masquerade. This is pure sex, not a single shred of redemptive value.


Summary: Everyone thinks that stepbrothers Jared and Jensen are just really affectionate with each other. The truth is that they get off on hiding in plain sight, pushing the limits of how far they can go in public and not get caught.

Second [livejournal.com profile] spn_masquerade fill. This one is a combo of three things I never thought I'd write. We live long enough to see all our predictions come to dust clearly. Big thanks to the[livejournal.com profile] theatregirl7299 for her fast and helpful beta.

Title: Strangers in a Crowd
Fandom: Supernatural RPF
Pairing: Girl!Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Content notes: public sex, exhibitionism (sort of), graphic sex, stranger sex
A/N: Written for [livejournal.com profile] spn_masquerade for this prompt

Summary: 'Jensen's in the middle of the massive crowd at a rock concert, everyone packed in tight, when she feels a guy press up behind her. She can't turn to see what he's doing, but he can feel his huge hands roaming over her body, sliding up under her skirt.'

Second bunch of recs (still in the anon period, go me!)

I haven’t actually read nearly as much as I’d like - I’m saving a few of the longer fills for next week. But here are a few things I couldn’t not mention first. As always I've linked to the prompt thread so check all kinks.

Also, as always, anything you think I should read, please stick it in the comments, I'd be grateful!

My original plan for this was a fandom manifesto about the things I love about SPN. I wrote enough of it to be worth posting but then I had a better idea. SPN (and SPN RPF) is for me a) the show - which means enough to me that I get a little bit sappy and b) the fanworks created which I love.

So while I still want to do that fandom manifesto (it'll be up on the 24th), I realised I'd also like to do a more personalised project. So I went through my flist and picked a fanwork by each person who does fanwork. Mostly they're Sam/Dean and J2 but there's some very notable exceptions included. A few people I found it difficult - not because they're not fantastic creators but because I'm a total wuss in this fandom so any one reading this feels like the piece de resistance of their oeuvre has not been represented, that may be why! Blame my non-Elizabeth-the-1st-stomach.

There's a few non-SPN folk on my flist and in those cases I've picked a favourite fan-work by them that's non SPN. There's also a few folk no longer in the fandom and I hope they don't mind me including their past works.

It's done alphabetically of course!

This is my favourite thing of today (crack fanmix for The Iliad) find the tracklist here. My favourites are Book 18: The Shield of Achilles — Build A Bear Workshop theme and Book 8: The Tide of Battle Turns — This Aint A Scene. Also the fight between Ajax and Hector being set to the Confrontation from Les Mis.

Ages ago, pliny wrote me Sam Winchester poetry in response to an ask meme where you had to reveal what you'd learnt from osmosis about something you've never seen it. I rarely remember to log onto Tumblr so here it is. Pliny is awesome at poetry and suspiciously spot on about Sam. How can you not love something that's funny and sad at exactly the same time.

I put my Sam h/c prompt fill up on AO3 here: under the waters still and deep and also my spmc entry: Don't Shoot the Sacred Symbol

Sam & Dean Minibang post-date tomorrow. I feel nervous though not for any particular reason.

This is going to sound really stupid and I have been on lj for far far too long to only ask this now but how do I format a fic post entry so it returns to lj's default when you click instead of retaining journal formatting. I'm pretty sure I've seen it done - possibly using =light at the end of the URL.

Summary: Jared joined Jensen’s contractor outfit after quitting the military and gets substantially more than he bargained for (in space).
