Fly be rec...

[ash48]

I have to rec this (and not just because it was written for me ;D).

My spn_j2_xmas fic (A History of Violence, written by lyryk) is perfect.

I imagine it would be really hard to write the brothers at this point in their story. They are in such a complicated, messed up place. The author does an amazing job of capturing both of them in this fic. It's bleak and sad but it holds an undeniable truth that's both hopeful and heartbreaking. It's also beautifully layered. Go read! (It's very mild Sam/Dean).

Oh, I did read it. And yes, bleak and sad . . . yet wonderful at the same time. You got a fantastic present, bb!

I did, didn't I? :DD

Thank you so much for the rec! I may have angsted a bit over writing something that you would like, so I'm really, really glad it worked for you. :-)

It really, really did! As much as I want everything to be great between them I love that we can acknowledge that it's not and because it's always been like this so there's a sort of comfort in that.

It's also made me feel less...um...worried for the future. ;)

Thanks again. <3

Absolutely! <3 (Also, I think I probably got matched with you because we both like top!Dean, and then I wrote you something that wasn't even remotely porn. So much fail, haha.)

(P.S.: I'll confess that I wrote 15k for your slave!Jared prompt, and made my poor beta suffer through it, before realising that I didn't have enough time to work it out right now. I'll probably go back to it once I can distance myself a little from it.)

Oh wow! 15K of slave!Jared!!! \o/ I will do all the cheerleading I can if it help you to finish it! *\cheers/*

(And I know what you mean about distance. It can certainly help).

I really (reeeeaaaallllly) hope you are able to work it out because I would love to read it! :DD

Hee, thanks! *g* I did 'finish' it but I think one of my weaknesses with RPF is that it needs a lot more exposition/establishing contexts than fictional canon does, and the story needs a lot of revising/tweaking. I'll send it to you after I work on it a little more. :-)
