The Anagram Series by Jen (NC-17)

I'm Nan (formerly known as [livejournal.com profile] nantahala) and I'll be driving the Supernatural van for the "cruelest month." I'll be reccing Sam/Dean slash [consensual fraternal wincest] and general fiction with an emphasis on originality and experimentalism in stories.

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: Sam/Dean
Length: ± 22,000 for all four stories
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] rejeneration
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] rejeneration's master fic list @ [livejournal.com profile] bemycasualty

Why this must be read: These are the stories that not only entertain but they inspire – to write or to create art – to do anything so that you are surrounded by intensity and pure need that Sam and Dean represent in the Anagram Series. Jen manages a combination of raw emotion tangled with some of the best prose I've encountered in any fandom. Further, she writes difficult subject matter [violence, assault, drug use, self-harm] but she never romanticizes it nor does she use as filler, but it's veristic and often difficult to read. Sam and Dean pull and tug at each other through each turn of events, upping the ante until one of them folds, until it feels like a freight training headed off a cliff, no way to turn back, and yet it feels right on track. It's frenetic and frantic yet earnest. While canon does not hint at these specific events, it feels perfectly instep with what the fan knows of Sam and Dean, specifically their desperation for each other. And Jen masters this desperation. She shapes it so that Sam and Dean are slowly undone and each story centers on another layer to their delicious claustrophobic need.
