Community Recs Post!

[snickfic]

Every Thursday, we have a community recs post, like this one, where you can drop a rec or five in the comments. This works great if you only have one rec and don't want to make a whole post for it, if you don't have a DW account to make posts of your own, or if you're just shy. :)

(But don't forget, you're also welcome to post recs directly to the comm seven days a week. :D)

So, what cool fic/art/vid have we discovered this week? Drop it in the comments below! Anon comments are enabled.

Dual Rebirth by floof
Word Count: 37,818 words
Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: E
Warnings: Graphic violence, Major Character Death (referenced death is Dean's canonical death in season 3)
Relationships: Sam/Cas
Summary: Castiel Novak has always been haunted by dreams of things he can’t explain. Still, he has a good life, and isn’t too lonely - he’s got his twin Jimmy and his dog Gracie, if no one else. All that changes when a drunken drifter, Sam, interrupts his quiet little life. It remains to be seen if Sam makes things be better or worse.
A season 3.5 AU.
Reccer's Note: An alternative season 4, in which Castiel chooses to fall from heaven like Anna, and be raised as human, and he meets Sam in the months after Dean's death in season 3 when he was a mess. It was an interesting concept, the author does a great job conveying what Castiel's angel memories would be like, and how he never feels quite right as a human. The love story between Sam and Cas is lovely, but also bittersweet. When Cas learns that he is angel, and thinks that he must leave Sam, it is emotional. Also, the author does a great job writing Balthazar, she gets his voice and personality right, which many writers in the fandom seem to struggle with.
