Summary
Turns out that the Men of Letters had a way to perform magic on the regular without the messiness of witchcraft.
All they need for it is a pair of soulmates, a couple of rings from the bunker, and a willingness to spend time platonically touching. And, well, the Winchesters are already sitting at two out of three…
(In which Sam and Dean cuddle, spend time being emotionally vulnerable, mend relationships, learn just how powerful their souls are, find power in memories, watch way too much Netflix, and become targets of an organized group of monsters set on killing them.)

Genuinely the most feel-good story of the brothers I’ve read so far, with the mandatory sprinkle of angst. Them platonically cuddling is a guilty pleasure of mine, so if you like that as well, you’ll have a blast with this fic, it’s filled to the BRIM with it!

Summary
Sam wakes up to find everything he ever wanted. His family. A house. A job. Jessica. Safe. But the last thing he remembers is... falling.
Everything is exactly as it seems. Unless you read tags.

This fic murdered me. The mind break and psychological torture creates such a unique twist for a cage fic. Seeing how Sam’s mind attempts to justify the torture into his own deluded reality is so well executed.

Summary
An offhand comment from Dean gives Sam an idea and, well, it's not a bad one. It's just that he has no real clue how to garden, but he'll figure it out and deal with Dean suddenly being weird all at the same time.
It can't be that hard, can it?

Post 5x14: The panic room was originally meant to be locked from the inside, which is currently giving Dean the first emotion he's felt since Famine laid eyes on him: fear.

Another good divergence on how Sam’s addiction is handled. Fuck, I love soft big brother Dean and this hits every nail on the head. This also healed something in me.

Summary
“Cas! Cas, please! Please, answer me! Cas!”
Castiel ignores Dean for several minutes, but then Dean gives him an opening that might help him complete his mission, so he goes to investigate. What he finds is a very bloody, nearly dead Sam and a frantic Dean trying to stop the bleeding. Dean tells him where the injuries came from, and Castiel quickly becomes confused. It doesn't make sense, but Dean tries to explain it, and slowly... Castiel begins to understand.

A suicidal Sam story that’s written so beautiful and portrays depression so well. Also, the bonus of Season 4!Dean being a good brother to Sam heals something inside my heart.
The way how Dean makes the physical fight analogy to help Cas understand Sam’s depression was so well done, and felt on so many levels.

Fluffy sickfic goodness. The weight of grief hangs over the boys and yet they have to wrestle with the fact that their father wasn’t always right. Thankfully, Bobby’s there to help them through that.
I love how caring Dean is in this fic. What a softie. And poor Sam, wrestling with who he is and who he thinks he might become.

Summary
The Frayed 'verse is canon-divergent after the end of season 5. When he's trapped for centuries with two pissed off archangels and a younger brother he can't always protect, in a space where he can never be sure of what's real and what's not, coming back from Hell is really rough on Sam. After he finally finds his way out, alone and frightened, and makes his way back to Dean, Sam has to deal with hallucinations, lifetimes of guilt and trauma, and a whole host of sensory issues. The world is too loud too bright too rough too fast too much, and for Sam, just existing is a whole new struggle. But Dean is there, and they do what they can to make it work.
And thanks to my amazing beta, tarotgal, who always helps me figure out where I'm going in this 'verse. It wouldn't be what it is without you.
(This 'verse is still a work in progress.)

Bookmarker's Notes
This series feels like a warm hug. It’s the ups and downs of recovery, and how hard it can be on both the abused and the caretaker. Sam and Dean are both just trying their best in the wake of Lucifer’s Cage relentlessly tearing through Sam’s psyche, and their love for each other is very much present.
Read this when you just want to curl up one evening and enjoy some hurt/comfort.

Good lord, what a twist. Had my jaw on the floor. It makes me ache and think about all the “what ifs” of this timeline.
I love the “darker” Dean featured here, and the highlight on Sam’s powers. I can always use more Sam powers. Not only that, but we’re not entirely sure who’s crazy and who we can rely on. Is it Sam, or Dean?
The atmosphere was built up so well. I read and write a lot of dark things, but this has managed to make me feel spooked in a way I haven’t felt in a long time.

Sweet, and fluffy in a way? This writer is amazing, and Dean just wanting to protect Sam, his little brother, from his own mind makes me so sick. It’s evil. I love it.

Bookmarker's Notes
Loved this so much. Breaks your heart then slowly stitches it back together. Dean insisting that Sam isn’t a monster for having an addiction and accepting this part of Sam. Accepting his powers finally.
This, THIS—grabs the Supernatural writers by the throat—is how you handle writing an addiction! You don’t insinuate that the person who has it is a monster, and you don’t tell them they need to hide a part of themselves in order to be loved.
Out of all the problems I have with how Sam was treated in the show, his demon blood addiction is number one. Reading this was so healing to me. Dean actually being a good brother here was amazing. Not only that, but Sam keeps his powers! Yay, bodily autonomy for Sam Winchester!

Summary
"Everyone knew the number one unspoken—and sometimes not-so-unspoken—rule of siblinghood: You could do and say anything you wanted to your own brother or sister without restraint, and all would be well. However, if anyone else so much as breathed wrong in the direction of that same sibling, there would be blood.
Everyone knew this rule except, apparently, angels."
Dean doesn't like the way Sam is treated when he finally meets his angelic heroes. Making Sam feel like an outcast for trying to do the right thing is cruel to begin with, but if Dean wants Sam to be honest about his cravings, he needs to protect Sam from being beat over the head with his failure. Thankfully, Dean has never had a problem opening his big mouth. S04E07 Mid-Episode Alteration.

Dean actually being a good brother for once during season four and sticking up for Sam. Love this person’s writing style. Sam’s self-deprecative passivity and Dean’s spark for familial justice is perfected here.

Summary
It’s been a really long time since Sam could know a thing about himself, such as ‘Dean runs headfirst into the fires I light,’ and not have it be stripped out from his brain, fed into a hallucination.

In which there’s no magical cure for centuries of trauma.

Bookmarker's Notes
The prose this author is capable of whipping together is actually incredible. Sam’s mental state is so warbled yet so vividly descriptive with the series of images presented. It’s such a perfect, almost stream-of-conscious-like rhythm of how depression is. Sam thinks he’s not worth saving, but Dean believes otherwise, and continues to believe it for the both of them.

Fucking adorable. So sweet. These brothers and everything they stand for after what they’ve endured means so much to me AND themselves.
Dean is Sam’s lifeboat. Sam is Dean’s lighthouse.
Nothing will ever change that.

Summary
"Hey. Hey, look at me, Sam." Nate said softly, "You did everything you could. It was enough."
On a freezing night when Sam was eighteen, he crouched in an alleyway a block away from the orphanage, smoking. The air was biting cold, fog clawing its way up his sleeves. His fingers were numb and stiff, but he chain-smoked three cigarettes in a row, staring blankly at the ashes dusting his shoes. His thirteen-year-old brother was asleep in one of the windows behind him, a fresh scar still marking his lip

Bookmarker's Notes
Roller coaster of emotions all bundled up in a sweet, brotherly package. The voice and descriptive language is well placed. Sam’s character is thoroughly examined here and fills in some of the holes that Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy left out due to them not being in his perspective. Nathan and Sam are such wonderful characters and this translation does them justice.

"Shhh," Sam hushes his soft cries whilst combing a hand through his soft brown strands repeatedly. "You're alright now."

Summary
When you turn, your Operator is there, kneeling in front of the Komi board-- you hadn't noticed them come in. Ordis did not welcome them back from a mission either. Perhaps you were lost in thought. Nimble fingers pluck at the stones and set them to the side, readying the playing board. Your Operator smiles, and gestures to you with an open hand.

Just in love with this. No words.
A haunting way of TMITW just casually toying around in the Operator’s life is so good.

“He didn’t even notice that it was happening at first, and as soon as he did, it just stopped. The strange humming sensation left as abruptly as it had come.
Miles uneasily chalked it up to being over-tired, because what he had just felt from his chest had most certainly not been normal.”

Summary
To Peter’s surprise, when Miles finally dragged his gaze back to his, he found his eyes were brimming. He was taken aback by just how unlike Miles it seemed.
Warm kitchen light bounced off his cheeks. In this light, he looked younger. “I…I thought I was gonna lose you, Pete. I almost wasn’t strong enough to stop the symbiote.”

Slight hurt/comfort with the ending being pure fluff. How the symbiote affected not just Peter, but everyone he loves as well.

Summary
The ache in his chest pulls at him, in a way that feels suffocating as Peter closes his eyes and tries hard not to think of how Harry had looked at him in the seconds before he–
Not died– he’s alive, Miles brought him back but it’s different now, worse than it had been when he was in “Europe” for a treatment plan that neither he nor MJ knew about.
Now, Peter knows exactly where Harry is and what his days look like, knows the full extent of his injuries and the lack of brain activity that if Norman Obsorn were a gentler man, might have let Harry go.
Peter exhales, hating himself for thinking that way. There was a chance, small as it was, that Harry could wake up again– Peter refused to let go of that small hope. If Norman Osborn could hold on to it, Peter could too.
Or:
Peter takes a break.
