My 'Happy Place' SPN fic rec

[lady_bug_kay]

I've been reading a lot of Supernatural fic, lately, most of it Wincest, and there are some really good stories out there. But the other day, I found a truly gorgeous series by

mgbutterfly   known as the Dream 'verse, and I fell in love with it. (Sam/Dean)

The bare-bones basic premise of the series is the idea that Dean is aware of and a part of Sam's dreams. But that's not what makes this series the jewel it is. It's the writing. The characterizations are strong and perfect, and the writing is so wonderfully visual that you feel as if it is all unfolding in front of your eyes. The mood of the fics in this 'verse is contented and gentle, quiet and lazy, and there is a surreality to the descriptions of the dreams that is hauntingly lovely. The emphasis in these stories is not on plot but on the feeling of the developing relationship between Sam and Dean, and it's delicious. There is a sophistication to the writing and a beauty to the language that makes this series really rich and juicy, and it has become my happy place and my refuge from any and all angst.

In fact, I am going so far as to say that it is on the list (and I don't know how long that thing is, anymore) of my favourite fanfics ever, regardless of fandom. If you read SPN fic and you enjoy and/or don't mind Wincest, please take a look at these fics and leave some love for the author.

These are the existing stories, in order of their posting:

With No Provision But An Open Face (Along The Straits of Fear)
To The Very Depths
The Song Remains The Same
The Sound of Thunder, it Roared

You are too kind! This brought such a smile to my face. Thank you so much for the rec. I can't tell you how happy this makes me.

(this is honestly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.)

You're very welcome. :)

(this is honestly the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me.)

Well, it's all true. At the time I was reading these stories -- one right after the other -- I was listening to exactly the right music to enhance the experience, and it was pretty much the highlight of my week. So if I can send you some love and maybe introduce some other people to your work, I'm more than happy to do so.
