Why this must be read: We love to see our favorite characters fall down six times and get up seven, and in Supernatural fan fiction hurt!Dean is our favorite flavor. However, because it's been done time and again for five years, the cliché has been worn to the nub and it's difficult to find something that sings and sends a vibration down the spine. Roque is well-known for her hurt/comfort stories because they are different than the run of the mill gorn. She doesn't hurt just to hurt – it's all part of character-driven plot that weaves together an atmosphere that is layered experiences parsed together with her beautiful prose. "Restless" is a shining example of Dean-centric hurt/comfort with a common theme that she brands her own by taking the reader through stages of Dean's life with focus on his mouth - how it has served and harmed him. A beautiful story that is deceptively complex and not to be missed.

Why this must be read: This is ridiculously adorable and sweet, Jack and Nathan at their cutest. They're so comfortable with each other in the privacy of their own space you just want to snuggle up with them. And there's a cute scene of Zoe as a little kid that's just puppies and sunshine.

A great little fic to curl up with on a lazy weekend.
