forestsofpineI've been fighting a nasty case of writer's block most of the year and the reading slump I've been in the last few months has made it even worse, so I was absolutely determined to read more fic this month than last month, because if I'm not writing AND I'm not reading, what am I even doing with my life? I asked some friends to throw links at me from their fandoms du jour to help out and in consequence I have read more Supernatural fic this month than I have since probably about 2008. 😄
Here are some of the fics I enjoyed in October:
Supernatural Fic Recs
A s3-era fic where the sibling banter can't quite cover up the sense of impending doom. I forgot how much I enjoy this classic genre of SPN fic.
Tricks are for kids, gen, 4k, teen
An intriguing canon divergence AU scenario; I would have read much more of this.
Flowers in the Impala, Dean Winchester/Sam Winchester, 2k, mature
Supernatural/Leverage Fic Recs
Very cute crossover!
Role Model, Dean Winchester/Lisa Braeden, 1k, general audiences
Bad Buddy Fic Recs
Some lovely snippets of Pat and Pran's relationship across the years:
Stuff and Things series, Pat/Pran, 11k, teen
I love how palpable the affection is in Pat's POV here:
Little Treasures, Pat/Pran, 7k, teen
The Eighth Sense Fic Recs
Short, lovely porn with feelings, Jihyun topping.
by the light of the moon, Seo Jaewon/Kim Jihyun, <1k, explicit
K-Pop RPF Fic Recs

recthething. Just a cute, funny omegaverse professors AU.
Flirt. Date. Mate!, RM/Jin, 15k, explicit
Happy reading!

What is it: Gen. A series of road games. An epic goof-off opportunity. A lexicon.
Tagline: "There's only so many ways to make it funny falling off a cliff."
Takes place shortly after the end of season 2.

Substitute teachers can seriously interrupt the flow of learning
Bad Buddy Fic Recs
Some lovely snippets of Pat and Pran's relationship across the years:
Stuff and Things series, Pat/Pran, 11k, teen
Pat was careless with his things. New pencil cases, new backpacks, new notebooks. Meanwhile, Pran kept his backpack from the beginning of elementary school until lower secondary, and he had decorated it himself. The important thing, he had decided when he was twelve, was that Pat was spoiled and careless, and he, Pran, was not. It was a basic Pat/Pran divide, as sure as the pink line between their garbage cans and Pat’s interest in drums (and girls.)
About the belongings Pat and Pran have kept, abandoned and shared across the years.

Little Treasures, Pat/Pran, 7k, teen
Before he has a chance to reply, one of Pran’s hands comes up, his index finger hooking into the collar of Pat’s t-shirt, pulling it down until another inch of his chest is visible. Pran’s eyes track the movement, and his tongue comes out to lick his lips before he looks back up at Pat, eyes big and pleading.
“Can I sleep with you?”

"Go back to sleep." Jaewon gives him a soft peck.
Jihyun doesn't say anything, looks almost like he's fallen back to sleep, then — "You're so mean, hyung."

Emotional disaster Professor Kim Seokjin and human disaster Professor Kim Namjoon meet on a dating app. Together, they fail to hook up and don't quite fall in love. But they could.
Happy reading!
