recs: comment meme fills

[biketest.livejournal.com]

My s9 Dean-centric comment meme is still going on, so here are the two awesome fills that have been posted so far!

Title: Untitled
Author: misterdeanvimes
Tags: psychological trauma, self-esteem issues, mark of cain
Characters: Dean
Genre/pairing: gen
Rating: PG
Word-count: 400
Spoilers: 9x17
Warnings: stabbing imagery
Summary: for the prompt:"Dean trying to fix the impala after Abaddon's demons scratched her up so badly in Blade Runners"
Reccer’s comments: Wonderfully written fic exploring Dean's headspace at this point in the season.

Title: Wake Up
Author: anonymous
Tags: insomnia, alcoholism, sleep deprivation, mark of cain
Characters: Dean, Sam
Genre/pairing: gen
Rating: PG
Word-count: 1000
Spoilers: 9x18
Summary: for the prompt: "Turns out the Mark of Cain has some physical effects. It makes him stronger and makes him feel less pain. But it pumps him full of adrenaline so that he is always feeling wired and anxious and can never sleep. The only way he can really calm himself down and get some rest is with alcohol. He tries to hide these effects from Sam."
Reccer’s comments: This fic is really beautifully understated and characterized for both brothers, and made my heart break for Dean. I love the Sam POV in this fic as he's realizing that something is wrong.
