Wings of Black, Brown and Grey by portraitofafool (NC-17)

It's been a hell of a month, so I'm just getting started, but I'll try to get a few good Supernatural recs in before my time is up.

Fandom: SUPERNATURAL
Pairing: Sam/Castiel
Length: ~40k
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] portraitofafool
Author Website: LJ fic masterpost
Why this must be read:

This is one of those wonderful but relatively rare jewels: Sassy that is serious and also makes sense.

The story itself is an AU, with what I imagine began as a simple premise: Castiel is human and Sam is an angel. The author's world-building to make this premise work is where the story shines. Cas has a painful but human past, and Sam is an enigma both in terms of his origins and his intentions. Dean and Bobby both feature significantly in the emotional arc of the story, and there are always hints of things that may or may not be going on that Cas isn't privy to.
