rec search #5: original character and/or outsider POV recs?

Rec Search:
Original character and/or outsider POV recs?

The 411 on Rec Searches:

For fun, a mod will occasionally put together one of these rec searches. (You can still make your own rec post at any time, fyi.) Rec search info and a rec search masterlist can be found HERE, and you can leave any suggestions for types of rec searches you would like to see there.

Thanks to dreamer_613 and vie_dangerouse for suggesting the topic for this latest rec search. That topic being OCs (e.g., Original characters) and/or outsider POVs (e.g, Stories told from an outsider's point of view. So, not necessarily an OC, but not one of the main characters, either.) Recced fanworks should also include some amount of Dean-centric h/c, of course!

So, if you'd like to contribute, please comment to this post with your fave fanworks involving just that. And after I have enough recs or after a couple of weeks have gone by, whichever comes first, I’ll make a master post of them for everyone's perusal.

You can use the comment form below, or not, but please do leave a link to each fanwork and a few words about why you liked it. Thanks, guys! ;)

The comment-form looks like this:

Title: Small Potatoes
Author/artist: roque_clasique
Possible tags: respiratory illness
Reccer's comments: In which Sam and Dean are broke and go to a homeless shelter for turkey dinner. And Dean is sick. The premise sounds like it could end up being incredibly sad or floofy (Is that a word? Well, it is now.), but this is neither. A fun little fic, with an equally fun OC.

Title: Stubborn
Author/artist: sams1ra
Possible tags: learning disability
Reccer's comments: I love how Dean's teacher doesn't give up on him. She sees right through his crap and manages to get through to him despite Dean's best efforts to not graduate.

yayyyyyy!

Title: "You Say Pumpkin, We Say Pie"
Author/artist: postfallen
Possible tags: fever, respiratory illness, cough
Reccer's comments: Generally, I dislike OCs. They remind me of Mischa Barton. But the OC in this fic, Fiona, has such a voice and personality that permeates every aspect of this fic that I kind of fell in love. I read this fic for the first time a long time ago at the autumn meme, but it's stayed with me since then. I don't even know what else to say about it- it's just fantastic.

Title: hope won't hide the loss
Author/artist: katriel1987
Possible tags: pre-series, injury
Reccer's comments: The OC *and* outsider POV in this ghost story fic is quite interesting in and of herself, but then there's smokin' hot teen Dean (the Sheepdog) and fabulous writing to keep me glued to my screen.

Title: Strangers in Gilead
Author/artist:corvus_imbrifer
Possible tags: [setting: season 2], [genre: gen], amnesia/memory loss
Reccer's comments: There are strangers in Gilead. A tall, well-kept man named Ben Cartwright, very probably a Pinkerton-Man, though he never confirmed it, and a green-eyed, sweet-talking, scruffy traveller named William Carlyle. What they want, how they came here - why they came? Nobody know, least of all Miss Rose and her girls from the saloon.

This is the PERFECT western-story for Dean and Sam. Intriguing, mysterious, action-packed and full of evil and strangeness, not forgetting a loveable, believable heroine and lovely OCs. This is more than worth the read! (Also, I have it tagged as hurtDean, but I can't remember what happens. So there could be a gunshot-wound or something...)

Title: Dean's Bob
Author/artist: K Hanna Korossy
Possible tags: amnesia
Reccer's comments: I like that the reader doesn't know at first who of the Winchester is hurt and that we get a great Outsider POV of both brothers and some wonderful protective!Sam.

I'm not sure that this one fits the criteria but maybe it does because in my book: If you whump Sam you automatically whump Dean too...

Title: Not a regular
Author/artist: K Hanna Korossy
Possible tags: exhaustion, worrying about Sam
Reccer's comments: A wonderful little fic in which we see Dean on coffee/food runs while caring for an injured Sam through the POV of a waitress.

And about this one too. There is some great Dean whump but the focus is a bit on Sam...

Title: Rest Your Weary Head
Author/artist: K Hanna Korossy
Possible tags: head injury, concussion, gunshot wound
Reccer's comments: Wonderful Outsider POV from a Doctor who shot Dean and now has to deal with a very protective (and also hurt) Sam.

I'm not sure this fic belongs in the OC/outsider POV rec list, but it does involve a bit of outsiders (of the Supernatural fandom) POV. Feel free to disregard this rec if you feel it doesn't fit here.

Title: Land's End
Author/artist: janissa11
Possible tags: motion sickness, pre-series, daddy issues
Reccer's comments: Dean is very green in this fic as well as being his normal swaggering, heroic self. I have not watched "Deadliest Catch," so this is a fic that can be enjoyed with no knowledge of the show it is crossed with. The rough environment of this fic is part of its success. It was easy for me to pluck Dean from hunting the supernatural to hauling the natural (crabs), and the crab fisherman seemed similarly rough around the edges like hunters. If you didn't get enough of crab fisher!Dean janissa11 has two sequels: Man's Allotted Span (complete; http://janissa11.livejournal.com/321453.html#cutid1) and That Fine Simplicity (WIP; http://janissa11.livejournal.com/618255.html#cutid1).

Great rec! ;D

I'm not sure either, knowing nothing about DC, so I added it as a bonus to the rec post.
