Can I just say that this post is full of epic levels of awesome.

I'm slowly working my way through all of your recs and I love every single one of them. And OMG, earlier this week I ran across candle_beck's Gone Again and I completely agree with you. It has to be one of the best things I've read out of the SPN fandom. And The Apocrypha of Chuck has a nice warm spot in my heart.

Actually, all of these amazing recs have got me wondering if you've read any of these:
coyotesuspect's Odysseus, American: http://coyotesuspect.livejournal.com/39586.html (This is a Wincest story set during the Stanford years and mostly one sided on Dean's part. It's hard and painful and hopeful in a way that will break your heart and put it back together again)
aenissesthai's A Thousand Small Cruelties: http://aenissesthai.livejournal.com/8149.html (Gen, pre Dean/Cas. A four part very Winchester Christmas, with all of the makings of greatness.)
hollycomb's Bad Things With You: http://hollycomb.livejournal.com/42123.html (Castiel/Dean and sweet mother of God, EPIC! I can't even sum up how much I love this fic. It's jossed by now since hollycomb wrote it before the end of S4 but I love this take on Cas and his vessel.)
felisblanco's Night & Day: http://felisblanco.livejournal.com/856417.html (AU, eventually Sam/Dean and probably one of the best stories I have ever read on the internet.)
or aggybird's Apocalypse Maybe: http://aggybird.livejournal.com/93779.html
(Aggybird is a fantastic writer who always finds magic in the ordinary. All of her stories will make you feel like you've stepped into Fantasia and you won't want to go home.)

Lol, I thought someone should return the favor. Thanks again!
