Okay, first of all, this is in no way comprehensive, I’m just trying to get them out in a timely fashion right now because I overslept lmao. I’m a very picky reader, so these fics all have proper grammar and formatting, read well (imho), and made an impression on me.

Anything by Leonidaslion, seriously. My summaries cannot do these wonderful fics justice. I literally cannot breathe every time I read them. They’re all fantastic, but in particular:

archiveofourown.org/works/34581841 Like Mirrors in the Distance by Venhedish. A more recent one, set pre-S1. I would actually literally die for the descriptions in this fic. It’s haunting, it’s poignant. It’s realistic.

archiveofourown.org/works/593642/ The Brother’s Blood series by Diana_Lucifera. Dean is the one who hasn’t been home in a few days, not John. Perfect S1 AU.

archiveofourown.org/works/23757364/ In Spite of the Teeth by . Feral!Dean post-Purgatory in S8. I am a sucker for feral dynamics fics, and this one is a beautifully long journey that just does not miss, at any part.

archiveofourown.org/works/3654984 Letters From a Half-Finished Boy by homo_pink. A preseries Weechesters divergent AU where Dean finds Sam’s diary. I can’t do it justice. Just read it, it’s quite short. And everything else by this author, while you’re at it.

archiveofourown.org/works/4272060/ If All Else Perished by . I am PROUD to call bloodwrites a mutual. She wrote one of my fav Wincest fics of literally ALL TIME. EVER. Case fic? Mystery? Slow burn? Good OMCs? This one has it all. It will haunt you, and in the best of ways.

Actually, you know what, fuck it, another from bloodwrites.
archiveofourown.org/works/23648575/ Ghosts Don’t Sleep. Sort of a creature!fic, sort of reminiscent of S3 with Dean’s soul counting down, but also its own wonderful thing. Dean gets necromanced. Dean is a zombie ghost.

archiveofourown.org/works/875765/ Riders on the Storm by zorrosuchil. More snapshots from their lives, from pre-series to canon. I can’t do it justice. The pre-series snapshot where they’re in a log cabin in bumfuck nowhere is my favourite.

archiveofourown.org/works/9082573 I need you so much closer by cherryvanilla . 5+1 mistaken for a couple fic, very poignant, lots of pining. Not as fluffy as fics in this genre usually are, but that's a good thing. Beautifully-written.

That's it from other authors for now, but, uh,
In a sort of shameless plug and slight divergence from the theme, may I submit my own fic? I'm not as talented as everyone else on this list, and it's a poly ship, but I've been having a lot of fun with this one. Grammar's fine, too.

Sam/Dean/Cas/Gabriel, H/C, a creature!fic where it’s very clear I’m on monsterfucker twt. Thx to Gabriel’s meddling, Dean turns into an angel (w/ a twist), Sam turns into a demon hybrid, and their creature powers stop the S5!Apocalypse. So much angel lore. archiveofourown.org/works/27659213/
