Why this must be read: Usually, this author is associated with dark themed fic or a pendulum swing to humourous. Instead, I suggest one of the softer gems she has on offer. She displays a great use of words to convey more that the obvious story. This one is my personal favorite.

Assigned to mind their boss,on Burn's Night, no less, it's not what they expected, whatsoever.

Why this must be read:

This story gorgeously shows us Brad trying to fit himself back into the world. It has this dead-on staccato rhythm as Brad catalogues things, associates them with here and not there. At the same time it's also quite lyrical, with wonderfully tangible description that's packed full of emotion. Brad and Nate don't talk a lot, because they don't say things that don't need saying, but when they do it's simply perfect. [livejournal.com profile] tevere shows Brad's disconnect, but even more she makes you feel the reality of it. And just like in the mini, Nate gets him, instinctively, without needing words. A tremendous, compact piece.

He investigates the supermarket at the end of Nate's street. Whole Foods, what else. Inside, it's like every yuppie in the States is waging war to get their hands on the last bunch of fucking arugula. Despite the hordes, he feels strangely invisible. No kids yelling 'Hey mister!' and trying to sell him porn DVDs, no guys casually watching him through binoculars. The only attack comes from a woman who thrusts a weenie on a stick in his face. Later he finds himself paralysed in the cereal aisle. He doesn't know the difference between low sodium and reduced sodium, or why the fuck he should care.

Why this must be read:

Author's Summary: Sam screamed, turning to fold Adam into his own body, offering what little protection he could as the thrust of pain speared his back.

I know I can't be the only one to just have their jaw drop at Adam Milligan's ultimate fate in the SPN canon; I just couldn't believe that The Powers That Be would let such a wonderful character suffer that kind of an end when there was so much story in him (though knowing the tendencies of Supernatural characters coming back from the dead, who knows really...).

Well, CeCe gives us a very satisfying AU that rescues Adam from Season 5 canon; all the while, diving into what makes him and Sam tick as they're trapped in the Devil's Cage with Lucifer and Michael. She kept me enthralled seeing these two brothers draw closer and closer and start to develop the type of relationship that Dean and Sam has with all its brotherly love and protectiveness. The ending just made me smile and know that a better future was in store for our brotherly trio.
