flipmontigirl hasn't been recced before. I think she has a very unique voice in the Supernatural fandom and, like the other authors I have recced, has a talent for cutting to the heart of emotion and letting it all bleed out. Beautifully.
Where many authors embroider their fiction, sometimes to the point of gaudiness,
flipmontigirl writes like haiku; spare, beautiful, insightful prose with no words wasted, each one a weapon straight to the brain--and the gut. So this is less a story (or stories) rec than an author rec. If you read and enjoy these pieces, I highly recommend you read everything she's written. She's fantastic in a fandom full of really excellent writers.
The two fics I'm reccing here are companion pieces (and at just over 1000 words each, they're quick, delightful reads) written at the end of the first season. The two pieces are from the alternating brother's POV and cover the space of a year; the year their relationship changes from love to love, the year they
fall in love. But, as with all her stories, it's a very real kind of love, one that hurts and wounds as much as it elevates and heals.
