Recommended long gen Sam and Dean fic

[violethamster.livejournal.com]

I've mainly read Wincest so far and haven't read much gen fic. Anyone have any recommendations for really good gen fic with Sam and Dean as the main characters, preferably multi-chaptered? I'd especially love some stories with humor and I'd rather avoid darkfic at the moment. Thanks!

Do you mind cross-overs? 'cause Signs and Warnings (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/3707267/1/Signs-and-Warnings) is a great Stargate 1 x-over case fic that features that brotherly bond we all know and love. No pairings and moments of humor.

Try gaelicspirit's stories. She writes gen casefics which usually feature hurt!dean, she on both lj and ff

Here's one that'll keep you busy for a while considering it has nearly 500k words. It's completed but it's a crossover with X-men so I hope you don't mind that.
Wolverines, Wendigos and Winchesters by SciFiNutTX https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5155714/1/Wolverines-Wendigos-and-Winchesters (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5155714/1/Wolverines-Wendigos-and-Winchesters)
summary: SN pre-series / post X-Men Origins: Wolverine - Dean meets Wolverine during a solo hunt, which leads to friendship and a new job. NO SLASH Ch119 - Complete (I mean it this time!)

I'll also give you a link to one of my favorite gen writers: reading https://www.fanfiction.net/u/443241/reading (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/443241/reading)

This is another crossover forgive me. Syndicated SciFi Show, Expanded by claudiapriscus https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5980067/1/Syndicated-SciFi-Show-expanded (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5980067/1/Syndicated-SciFi-Show-expanded)
summary: Slightly AU for Changing Channels: The Trickster dumps Sam and Dean into Stargate: SG1. They dare to hope they're being allowed a breather episode. After all, it's some sort of fantasy archaeology show, sure to be nice and boring.

I've got more recs on my ffnet account if you want to have a browse. Most should be gen, lots are crossovers too. If there's a pairing, it should be stated somewhere on the summary. Here's the link, enjoy: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3726155/apokfan (https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3726155/apokfan)

My favourite writers at the moment are:

MarleeJames: She is writing an incredible story called Crossing Over - it's my favourite WIP fic at the moment: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/5130115/MarleeJames (the fic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9684937/1/Crossing-Over)

BlackIceWitch: All of her stories are gen (no slash relationships) and they are filled with amazing mythology and brilliant characterisations. She's easily one of the best writers I've ever read. Her stories are all here: https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3434281/BlackIceWitch

I particularly recommend BlackIceWitch's Ramble On series, which is just amazing. Part One of the Series is here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7715048/1/Ramble-On

She also has a series of stories covering the Winchesters' lives pre-series, including how John coped in the aftermath of Mary's death and began his journey into the world of hunting (Journey Into Darkness); then there's the Hunter's Quarterly, a collection of pre-series stories covering 1984 to 2005; and she also has a number of sh.ort stories, all gen/het, covering various pre-series years, as well as 2005 onwards.

What? No BigPink yet?

Well, defintitely read BigPink's stories. I have most of them (or even all?) here:in my delicious-list (https://delicious.com/marlowe97/author%3Abigpink)

I also have a long list of gen fics, so I'll give you the link to my delicious:
https://delicious.com/marlowe97/gen

It's sortable by season, characters, case-fic and humor or crack-fic. So it'll be much easier for you than if I would just post every fic here ;-)

You might be interested in lovesrain44's Sparta 'Verse. (http://archiveofourown.org/series/11750) It's pre-series and it's excellent. All of her SpN work is amazing. :)

There was a similar request for long gen fic made about 6 months ago, here (http://spnstoryfinders.livejournal.com/8718912.html#comments)
There were some suggestions made then that do not appear above.

There will also be lots of suggestions here (http://ficwriter1966.livejournal.com/375215.html?view=11801007#t11801007) Carol (ficwriter1966) is a fantastic gen writer herself, but wanted suggestions from others for long fic.

Specific fic that I particularly like include most of those listed above and
In Reverse (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2787883/1/In_Reverse)
"After Faith, a job has the boys looking for missing hikers in Wyoming. While Sam worries it’s connected to what happened to Dean ten years ago, Dean wonders if Sam would be better off back in the world of normal"

Never Summer (http://ignipes.livejournal.com/82858.html) A call from one of Sam's college friends brings the boys to a remote Colorado hotel in the midst of a blizzard to investigate a death and a haunting.

Ouroboros (http://gedry.livejournal.com/199089.html) After Sam gets his soul back his relationship with Dean is rockier than ever. Secrets have piled up and tension is running high between the brothers. Their inability to get along causes problems for Bobby so he orders them to get help or get gone. Working through their problems is more complicated than they thought, and their therapist isn’t who she seems.

Long gen fic with humour : Dimensions and Verticals (http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/249342.html) by bellatemple.

Also by the same author ( gen with plenty of humour ) - Gone with the wendigo (http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/661429.html). An SPN/My Little Pony crossover. But you don't need to know anything about MLP to enjoy this story. I didn't and I did, very much :)
Afternoons and coffespoons (http://bellatemple.livejournal.com/192841.html).

Absolutely hilarious : The one where Dean turns into a talking cat (http://ifyouweremine.livejournal.com/109935.html) by ifyouweremine.
Got a chip on my shoulder (http://kroki-refur.livejournal.com/239209.html) by kroki_refur.

kroki_refur and bellatemple wrote some of the best gen fics around IMO. Others are oselle, baylorsr, janissa11, essenceofmeanin, lyra_wing, art_savage, kellifer_fic, tabaqui, eighth_horizon, july_july_july, kimonkey7, pdragon76, twoskeletons, zoemathemata.

Click on any of their fics and you won't be disappointed! :)
