Fic Recs! A pair of, well. Not doves. But a pair nonetheless!

Summer's end is fast approaching, but the party's only just begun! hoodie_time's summer comment!meme is still going on, and we have some fun new things lined up for the coming months as well. To whet your palate, I bring a few choice recs!

1. when in doubt, don't throw it out by de_nugis
Genre: gen, angst, curtain!fic
Characters: Sam, Dean
Tags: substance abuse, alcoholism, depression/PTSD, comfort!food (chili)
Rating: R
Word Count: ~430
Warnings: references to alcohol issues, some dark imagery
Summary: Sam puts out the recycling.

Reccer's Notes: There are fics that are just these bright kernels of words that are Made For Each Other. This is one of them: Part of him still wants to shout at her. Ask her if she knows what a goddamn miracle it is that Dean climbs back, every time. (Every time so far.) If she knows what it takes. How maybe Dean needs those hideyholes he’s got bottles stashed in, needs them for handholds, just to climb back.

2. Untitled by sparrow_lately
Genre: gen, angst
Characters: Dean, Sam
Tags: fever, depression, headache, stress, cold, cough, self-esteem issues, exhaustion
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~4300
Warnings: None.
Summary: He’s cold and his throat itches and God, is he tired. He’s running out of fuel. You make a terrible soldier, he thinks to himself.

Reccer's Notes: This one is from our very own meme; it rocks the hurt/comfort across the board, in all the most excellent ways, but its expression of both Dean and Sam, Dean's various perceptions of Sam, and Dean's perceptions of himself is really what makes this unforgettable for me.

3. The entire Meme Masterlist, because this whole shindig has been so much fun. If you've missed a few art pieces and fics in the 1400+ comments the meme has amassed, take a peek and see if any of the prompts sound like your kind of deal! (And if not, there's always more to write and draw, ;D.)

♥ Happy August! ♥

Lovely recs. <333

I'm so glad you advertised the meme again too; I feel like we've had a resurgence of fills lately (not that things ever cooled off entirely) and I want everyone to see themmmm, for they are awesome.
