boneI haven't read any big bang fics. I keep reading the descriptions and thinking, "Huh" and then just scrolling on past, which is weird, since the Kindle has geared me to appreciate long, meaty fics -- the longer the better, frankly. So this should be making me jump up and down and screech with joy. But...no.
Maybe I need recs? The only story I even bothered to download is![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fleshflutter's Bulletproof one, since I saw it mentioned a couple different places.
What big bang stories turned your crank?

I just read it this morning, and it was good. I've kind of had the same reaction as you to most of the summaries, and there's one story in particular (that I've got all kinds of bizarre RL connections to) that I've seen recced high and lo that I really didn't like that much. But this one, I think, is worth the read.

Date: 2008-07-02 06:34 pm (UTC)The Seahorse, because the dialog was snappy, the characters were dead on and it was hot hot hot. Don't let the mpreg scare you, this story is dynamite.
After the Tone. Watch the trailer for the film at the beginning of the story. it will make you believe. And it's a wonderfully paced, well developed story. Satisfying, totally.

I'm 7 eps into S1, and the show is adorable, but man, far more cheesy than I expected. *g* Not that I mind, seeing as how I love Starsky & Hutch. But, hee.
So far, Dief is my favorite part, and I like Ray V far more than I expected to, and his sister far less than I expected to. Hmm.

Date: 2008-07-02 06:36 pm (UTC)of the ones i have read, there were a lot of ok stories, but the one that really grabbed me was [Bad username or site: mickeym / @ livejournal.com]'s sam/dean WWII AU, we know each other as we always were (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/34722.html).
[Bad username or site: casspeach / @ livejournal.com]'s story, an RPS AU with jensen as a u.s. marshall protecting jared, a witness to a killing in a russian teahouse, dosvedanya, mr. darcy (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/31568.html), was smart and interesting, and not at all the cliché fic you might think from the description - it has a cool murder mystery thing going on - although not quite as cleanly written as [Bad username or site: mickeym / @ livejournal.com]'s story. [Bad username or site: topaz119 / @ livejournal.com]'s when push comes to shove (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/33565.html) was very good sam/dean (with assorted other pairings), although i'll pretty much read whatever she's written, and late night double feature (http://community.livejournal.com/spn_j2_bigbang/28369.html), by [Bad username or site: vorpalblades / @ livejournal.com], an RPS AU with jared and jensen working a summer in a movie theater, is pure fluff, but very charming and enjoyable fluff.
i don't know your taste exactly, but there were a few others i enjoyed, if you want more suggestions.
ETA: and i really wanted to like the bullriders AU [Bad username or site: chickenfried_jo / @ livejournal.com] mentions, but it was too stylistic for me. if that doesn't bother you, though, it was very well done.

But most I still skipped over the sex scenes. I'm tending to find both J2 and Sam/Dean sex kinda . . . been there, done that, way too much. Of course I'm jonesing for some Chris/Vin love right now, too. lol.

Date: 2008-07-02 06:48 pm (UTC)Now I want to know where the longass Jared-and-Jensen-Are Navy-SEALS story is. *drums fingers*
I may have to settle for Jensen as a US Marshal. :)

Sam did not end up in the Mirador but ended up apprenticed to a bloodwitch.

Date: 2008-07-02 11:27 pm (UTC)I had the same feeling when I dismissed a few out of hand, then thought about how hard the writers must have worked on them! But if I see "dub-con" and "drug use" I'm pretty much outta there, no matter how good it is!

Date: 2008-07-03 08:32 am (UTC)See, I'm not really into the fic part of Supernatural because to me Sam and Dean are brother who don't sex each other up. But instead I can read RPF AUs since to me if they turn the boys into ... clothesdesigners from Project Runway - they're not the actors anymore. And I get to read a long story w/o bashing anyone of their rl girlfriends
On the other hand I'm guilty of writing Marsters/Kartheiser RPS for Kita so I shouldn't say a thing lmao

"It took less than an hour in Hell to send Dean mad. Sam doesn't remember what he did to bring his brother back, and in Oklahoma six months later people are burning alive."
Excellent, excellent story.
