Bargains by marinarusalka (PG-13)

Hi, everyone! I'm Lacey McBain and I'll be your Supernatural driver for October. It's a great time to be rec'cing - the show's back on, there are lots of fic exchanges posting, and Halloween's coming. I've got chills just thinking about it.

I can offer mostly Dean/Castiel fics this month and some gen/case-fics. Happy reading!

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: gen
Length: ~ 10,000 words

Why this must be read: Although I watched "Supernatural" from the beginning, I didn't read a lot of the early fic. "Bargains" was one of the first fics I read and it's remained close to my heart. It's funny, involved, and it was written during the show's first season when the primary focus was still "saving people, hunting things."

In this story, the boys investigate a missing persons case, and as these things go, it's not that long before one of the Winchesters is also on the missing persons list. To reveal too much would spoil the story. Just know that it's a good read from beginning to end, with nice brotherly banter and a strong plot. Definitely worth taking the time to read.


"That's it," Sam hissed as soon as they were out of earshot, "we're leaving. We can sleep in the car."

"Aw, come on, Sammy." Dean attempted to muss Sam's hair, and got his arm knocked aside with slightly more force than usual. "I always knew those Bambi eyes of yours were irresistible to women. If you play your cards right, they might take you home with them. Bake you pies. Knit you little booties."

"You're an asshole, you know that? And why aren't they fussing over you? Your clothes are a bigger mess than mine."

"It's my air of manly self-sufficiency. Hey, you think you could give them my blue flannel shirt and say it's yours? The left sleeve is totally coming off."

"Manly self-sufficiency, huh?"

"Sewing isn't manly."

"But walking around with your sleeve half-off is?"

"Sure. It's rugged."

"You mean ragged."

"That, too."

"Right. So is research manly enough for you? 'Cause there's the library."
