Gen: The Grocery Store Conveyer Belt Thing by scioscribe
They're out of rock salt, lighter fluid, and Twizzlers; Sam really hates going shopping with Dean.
Super hilarious fic that gives an insight to the brothers :)
J2: Terms of Engagement by cleflink
This wedding was pretty much guaranteed to be a clusterfuck of monumental proportions even before Jared decided that it would be a good idea to convince a ridiculously good-looking spy to pretend to be his fiancé. Especially when Mr. Hot Spy has his own reasons for being at the resort. That might just get Jared killed. Sometimes, Jared makes really bad life choices.
I loved this fic! Adorable fake!boyfriend trop mixed with DRAMA :D Make sure you check out the art!
J2: I Kind of Liked it Your Way by Chash
Chad gets Jared a hooker for his birthday, assuming (probably rightly) that Jared will never manage to get laid on his own.
And Chash does it again! Chad, oh Chad haha. A fun little fic!
J2: Sometime, Anytime, Sugar me Sweet by stir_of_echoes
At Jared's first time in a strip club, Jensen gives him a lap dance that makes Jared come in his pants.
The descriptions in this? UNF.
J2: You Light the Spark in my Bonfire Heart by jojothecr
"I forget. Sometimes. That you're a star. That you aren't just Jensen, but... the Jensen. That you aren't only mine."
OH. This was glorious in so many ways!

ZOMBIES :D I’m usually not the biggest fan of zombies, but this was adorable haha

- Memories of You and I by akintay
post 3-16. Sam finds old photos of him and Dean in Dean's duffel bag.
I LOVE SPN because of the brothers being brothers and this totally depicts that perfectly!

Jared/Jensen:
~ to the letter by bertee
Despite strict instructions not to have sex on the eve of battle, warrior!Jared and priest!Jensen explore a loophole.
Oh dear lord, bertee always pushes the right buttons!
~ Matchmaker Matchmaker by spiders_stars
The last fifteen years have been leading up to this moment, the Matching ceremony. Jared knew he shouldn’t fantasize about his future spouse but there was always that one boy who caught his eye. What harm were his thoughts anyway? When there was no way they would ever come true?
J2 fic of The Giver?! HELL YES.
~ Chaos Theory by zubeneschamali
Jared might be hiding a secret identity as a superhero, but he's not the only one. Of all of the people who could turn out to be his sworn enemy, what are the odds that it's someone he not only knows, but knows intimately?
J2 superhero fix is always a fave :D And this one was so well written!

Derek/Stiles:
= Open the Door by Renay
Derek gives Stiles his jacket.
That summary doesn’t even BEGIN to describe the depth of this fic. Brilliant.
= Strange Attractor by Captain_Loki
Stiles and Derek's domestic bliss through the years
Fluffy fic ftw.
= Velvet Mask by Captain_Loki
It's at the beginning of this relationship, the one that has been years in the making, that Stiles finds the violin. Derek thinks Stiles has a manilla folder stored somewhere of all the things he's learned about Derek Hale, treats him like a detective in an old film noir, like a case to be cracked, Stiles does love a good mystery.
Oh, this was so lovingly written!
= (Sacred) In the Ordinary by idyll
The Pack, after college, graduate school and the starting of careers, comes back to Beacon Hills. Nothing's gotten less complicated after all this time.
Based on a kink meme prompt that grew legs and got serious.
Note: This is a whole lot of pack!fic with a very slow build Derek/Stiles.
Dude, this is 75k+ of slow build but SO WELL DONE.
= Scent Marking for Dummies by Hatteress
Stiles is almost used to being chased around the school by werewolves at this point. Having to share a bed with Derek freaking Hale, on the other hand, is just needlessly complicating his life.
I love the idea of scent-marking, seriously. Ngh, new kink.
= And Dwell Beneath My Shadow by lielabell
Derek is not stupid. He gets why Stiles puts up with him. It's clear every time Stiles looks at him, the spicy scent of lust and arousal Stiles's body can't help but put off. It doesn’t surprise him. Not at all. Derek knows what he looks like, knows that his face and his body are more than enough to compensate for his shitty personality. Stiles wants him more than he is annoyed by him. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not anything to be amazed over, nothing to write home about. Stiles isn't the first-- and most likely won't be the last-- hormone soaked teen who has panted over Derek.
Oh idiot boys are some of my faves. And mating is always my fave, ALWAYS.
= Bones Straining Under the Weight by weathervaanes
One of Stiles' favorite things about life is Derek Hale's food blog. He never expects to meet the man in person.
Oh man, this was wonderful!

All my teen wolf a03 bookmarks will be here from now on! There’s TOO MANY haha.

♠ we get along like, 99% of our lives by nola_rue
As much as people like to paint them as the bestest BFFs who ever BFFed, people were wrong. Really fucking wrong. Because of course they have off days where every little thing the other does bugs the shit out of them.
This is the epitome of Jared and Jensen friendship fic. Their off days, their inside jokes, the way they just KNOW each other. Perfection, absolute perfection.
♠ Change is the Only Constant by raeschae
Jensen's life, with his one friend and slew of Quiz Bowl trophies, is not what most would call exciting but it's very organized. Then Jared moves to town, Danneel finally notices him and everything he thinks he knows starts to change. Jensen's never been good with change.
jared/jensen/danneel hs!au which should make you want to read it right there. Some more enticements? goth!jared, jock!danneel, nerd!Jensen. It's achy, sexy, and awesome.
♠ On A Night Like This, I Could Fall In Love. by taintedlove
Danneel has a stormy night to reflect on what she has.
danneel/sandy with background jared/jensen; schmoopy and adorable. I want to just smish them together, seriously.

gen:
♡ Put Back by standing_fic
5x22 coda (I KNOW RIGHT?! WHAT?!) -- sam's on a residential street, and he doesn't know how he got there, or where he's been, but he's strangely okay with it. then he finds out why he's there, and it all comes back in a rush.
How I wish show would happen. God, these boys kill me. And standing_fic has this relationship with words that's perfect. She never fails to make me fall at her feet in awe. Seriously.

jared/jensen:
♥ What Isn't Being Said by rogue_pixie88
Jensen wants to live with Jared, Jared wants to live with Jensen—that’s not the problem. The problem is communicating that fact to each other. (AU)
Idiot boys being complete idiots haha. This was an adorable little story of oblivious!Jensen and sneaky-but-not-really!Jared :D
♥ Jensen Ackles and the Magical Porn Button by beckaandzac
Jared has a remote control he can use to broadcast gay porn into other people's brains. Guess who he uses it on.
GUH. First of all. Also, it goes from almost crack to homg HOT. But still has a hint of...romance haha. Read!
♥ "Just one of those stories...“ Part 1 One time at camp by the_milky_way
Jensen has had a bad day so far and it's not getting better. He really didn't need to get plowed down and end up covered in slushies, especially not during the one day at camp that is supposed to be awesome. It doesn't really help that the guy being responsible for it all is seriously hot.
This is almost pre-slash and SO cute. It features grumpy!Jensen, you know we all love grumpy!Jensen :D
♥ I know what a prince and lover ought to be by zuben_eschamali
Jared and Jensen are princes re-negotiating the treaty between their kingdoms. But they're also discovering each other along the way.
This is adorable! It's schmoopy, yet sexy and dude, PRINCES! haha
♥ Let's Discuss Something More Productive by standing_fic
jared's angry, but mike and katie can see right through him, and they know what to do to help.
This is waiter!Au and involves jealousy and is sweet and written in a different way, which I LOVE. Features boys in denial and being complete idiots haha.
♥ What You Really, Really Want by kelleigh
College doesn't change Jensen and Jared. It only changes what they are to each other. A continuation of That's Not Our Song and reading that first is suggested.
DUDE. This has goth!Jensen with pop-prince!Jared and continues on Kelleigh's other fic. I can't really describe the awesomeness that is this fic in enough words. It's sexy, college!au, has these adorable boys who are artists and complicated and in love, but suck at communicating. Just. *hands* (plus some KILLER art which is in the Art section of this post haha)
♥ some sweet talking boy by cirramin
jensen and jared aren't talking, perhaps because jensen was a dickhead of epic proportions.
This has a different feel to it and you go through it wondering what Jensen DID, but it's revealed perfectly. It has the right amount of angst and OMGHOTNESS and is wonderful!
♥ Together by peppervl
Falling in love
This is about the dogs and the boys and them in love. Schmoop galore pretty much!
♥ Five Ways the Football Jerk and Chemistry Geek Never Met by standing_fic
a series of au snippets regarding how jared and jensen never met, but could have, if it hadn't gone the way it did. companion to and when we kiss verse
That 'verse is one of my favorites EVER and I did a complete re-read of it before reading this, even if you don't have to. This has the bickering and annoyances and nuances of the boys from the 'verse but is a bit different in how they turn out. It's scorching, sexy, and still utterly them somehow.
♥ Mini icon-ficlets by atimi
I real all the gen and J2 ones and LOVE LOVE LOVE. I'll admit my favorite was the one for me (Valentine's Day) but the one with Jared as a kindergarten teacher and Jensen as his baker boyfriend made me flail a bit too. They were both schmoopy and AWESOME.
♥ it's never as good (if you do what you should) by earthquakedream
AU. Jensen doesn't believe in tact. He goes after what he wants.
Hot DAMN this was hot. Meg seriously writes some of the best porn haha. I don't want to reveal anything, but this begs for more in a sequel *nudge nudge wink wink*
♥ Untitled by poor_choices
Danneel setting up Jensen and Jared from Coming Right Up
College!AU and Danneel plays matchmaker. Jared is Danneel's brother and Jensen is her best friend. So adorable!!!
♥ A Loft With A View by zuben_eschamali
At first the hot guy in the condo across the street doing pull-ups was just distracting to Jensen. Then he became a turn-on. Jensen just hopes they never meet, because he’ll never be able to look the guy in the eye…
Ngh the description of them in this is ridiculously hot. Voyeruism and abs and working out and sexy as hell.
♥ This Better Be Good by raeschae
Jensen is a big fan of sleep so Jared better have a really good reason for waking him up in the middle of the night.
More grumpy!Jensen!!! AU with camp counselors and there are blowjobs. unf-inducing.
♥ Nothing Rhymes With Texas by deirdre_c
Jensen is a newly-minted cop and there’s this one particular hooker on his beat.
Such an intense fic packed with so much EMOTION and still so freaking hot. Let's hope she continues this! (hear that, Dei?)
♥ the quickening breath by __tiana__
AU. Jared knows better than to take a ride home from a stranger. But then again, strangers are not usually this hot.
NGH. If only strangers around here were as hot as Jensen. The dirty talk in this is bone meltingly hot.
♥ Every Me and Every You by nyoka
comfort.
This is the boys re-learning each other after those pesky death scenes. I just want to curl up with them forever in this. There's comfort in there from them just knowing each other - inside and out. And this was ridiculously hot, too.
♥ Your Step on the Stair by embroiderama
Jared and Jensen have the roles they play in the night as well as the day. Jared goes off-script.
There was so much tension, yet relaxation in this that you couldn't help but feel so relieved and loose after reading this. The last line was perfect.
♥ No Pressure by krystalicekitsu
He was dying and his last thought was- Oh, god. I'll never see Jared aga-
not a death!fic, let me just get that out. This is a h/c fic that screams the boys. Sweet and wonderful. Jensen's headspace was perfect.

Gen:
♥ Take A Long Line
Numb3rs and SPN crossover. Lengthy, detailed, amazing. The way she's characterized Sam and Dean as well as the Numb3rs crew is SPOT ON.

Ten Inch Hero:
♠ Everybody Loves A Happy Ending by backinblack
Sometimes the good guy doesn't get the girl. Sometimes the girl is a cheap slut who breaks the good guy's heart. In the end, though, fairies live happily ever after.
Dean Forrester/Priestly. Yup, you read that right. The characterization was spot on, the images she painted were brilliant, and the way she wrote their story was amazing.
♠ Collide: a Tish/Priestly Fanvid by deanbean08
LOVE Tish/Priestly (aka Jensen/Danneel!) and the song is WIN.

Kris/Adam:
♦ Vintage If You Make It by arabella_hope
Kris convinces Adam he should keep his ugly furniture. Pretty much PWP.
NGH. That is all :D
