Live and Die This Way by goldtamera (PG)

Hello! I'll be your friendly neighborhood Supernatural crack-dealer for July. I'm a fan of both gen and Wincest, so I'm going to try and give you a good mix -- the hard part will be picking only 12 stories.

Why this must be read:
In a fandom this talented, and with so many genres and angles to choose from, it's hard to know where best to start off. So I'm going to be a bit literal and start pre-series, with the show's third star: the Metallicar.

The Impala's not just a car, she's a part of the Winchester family -- this fic not only captures Dean's very tangible connection with the car, but also provides a fleshed-out slice of the Winchester's lives in a relatively short space. The full mix of closeness and growing strain between John, Dean, and Sam, the atmosphere of a small desert town, plus the terror and adrenaline of a hunt are all skillfully wound together -- with the Impala at the center.

And how do you not love an opening line like this? Dean is seventeen, bleeding, and running for his life the first time he falls in love.
