supernatural fic rec list

(mostly for me to keep all my favorites together. all on ao3) (be nice, i’ve never made one of these and the format is new to me)

Try asking by @applecrumbledore

Wincest, 7k words, rated T. Outside POV.

“Jerry says he saw them going at it in the back of that car of theirs outside Atlanta last year, I swear to God.” “Listen, man, I don’t like them either, but that’s a low blow. Jerry’s a fucking pervert.”

The sound of dead leaves by clavicular and unhappy_ghost

John/Sam + wincest, 6k words, rated M. Sam POV.

John looks at Sam in a way no father should. Sam aches when Dean smiles. The shadows that loom over Sam Winchester are not just those of the monsters lurking in the night.

Echoes of Hell by The_Nightbreaker

Gen, 35k words, rated M. Sam POV.

It wasn't real. He wasn't in Hell anymore. That's what he tried to tell himself over and over. But two centuries of torture don't disappear in a day. Sam struggles with visions of Hell, fighting to maintain his grip on reality. Dean hates that he can't protect his brother from what isn't real—but curse him if he doesn't try. When the boys stumble on a case with ties to the Devil himself, will they be able to pull themselves together in time to stop the sacrifices? Or will the echoes of Hell finally overtake them? Aka, season 7, but the plot is Hell trauma, not leviathans.

Evening Shadows by withthekeyisking

Gen, 2k words, rated T. Outside POV.

Sam is hallucinating the monster who tortured him for nearly two centuries, Dean feels like he's failing his brother, and a diner waitress bears witness.

Lesser Evils by Dyed_Red

Wincest, 9k words, rated E. Dean POV.

“So you’re just gonna, what – torture us for an hour while your guys hightail it to Buffalo? That’s your master plan here?” “Oh I can do a lot in an hour or two, Sammy. Like having your surrogate daddy here carve Dean a new face. Like backsliding you off your pretty bandwagon. Like…Seeing how far big brother will go for his sweet baby Sam.”

Prophecy of an Abomination by ashitanoyuki

Gen, 88k words, rated M. Sam POV.

Sam wants to be normal. Sometimes, it's harder than he'd like to keep faith in God. Or: a story of religious!Sam plus powers!Sam culminating in horrifying Sam whump (with eventual comfort to go with the hurt). A character study of the first two seasons that sharply diverges in season two.

he’ll follow me down every street, no matter what my crime by according2thelore

Wincest + Meg/Dean, 17k words, rated M. Dean POV.

“What do you want, Sam?” Sam stands up, so Dean is forced to look up into his face. Sam turns them slowly, so the small of Dean’s back bumps into the polished wood of the counter. “I want…” Sam says, eyes flicking down to Dean’s lips and Dean knows when something is too good to be true, knows that this can’t possibly be real, knows— “Christo.” Dean rasps, just before Sam’s lips land on his, eyes open wide. Sam’s eyes flash black. “Whoops,” Sam says casually. A thread of tension stretches between them, almost interminable, and then they both move at once. The demon in Sam’s body slams Dean back, and Dean crashes against the bar. ~~~ A rework of S2E14 "Born Under a Bad Sign" with Meg!Sam and Dean instead of Jo for WincestWednesday on tumblr's July Event, prompt "Favorite Episode" (with a cameo from the second prompt "Blood")

You’d Have Loved Her (But You Won’t) by punkrock101

Gen, 5k words, rated G. Sam POV. (compiler’s note: this is my personal favorite fic of all time)

Sam never got to tell him. Sam never got to tell anybody.

Flowers in the Impala by Evendar

Wincest, 2k words, rated M. Outside POV.

Kate wants them to be a family - really, she does - but there's something wrong with John's boys.

—-—-—

that’s long enough for now, i think. feel free to reblog with your favorite fics as well

I do not know what you feel, but I never cease to be grateful to these disciples. I am grateful for the record of every mistake they ever made, and for every blunder they ever committed, because I see myself in them. How grateful we should be to God that we have these Scriptures, how grateful to Him that He has not merely given us the gospel and left it at that. How wonderful it is that we can read accounts like this and see ourselves depicted in them, and how grateful we should be to God that it is a divinely inspired Word which speaks the truth, and shows and pictures every human frailty.

Actually, three parts of the Bible that I can think of were composed by women, and those women were Miriam, Mary, and King Lemuel's mom.

It’s hard to not hate those who wish us harm, or have already done physical harm not only to us or others we know. Yet, we are told in Scripture to love not just our declared enemies but also those who persecute us. It is crucial we do not let hatred dwell within our hearts. We must “not give the devil an opportunity” (Ephesians 4:27) to enter our lives. By loving others, we are ultimately loving God and we are at peace with the world; hence, the devil won’t have an open invitation into our lives. Love for others, ultimate, is love for God.

August 14_July 31

The Feast to theAll-Merciful Savior and the Most-Holy Mother of God

In the Munich Cathedral of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia, a small piece of the True Cross of the Lord is kept, though it is very small. It hails from the Holy City of Jerusalem, from the reliquary that contains the Cross. This reliquary was seized when Jerusalem fell to the Persians in 614. In 624, the Byzantine Emperor Heraclius defeated the Persians and returned this holy item to Jerusalem, where it has remained to this day. In 2002, Archbishop Mark of Berlin and Germany received this small portion of the Cross from the Jerusalem Patriarchate which broke off during cleaning. It is immersed in wax, under glass in the middle of a carved cross.

August 1 (August 14 new style), is the beginning of the strict Dormition fast. On the first day of Dormition fast, the Church celebrates the Procession of the Precious Wood of the Life-Giving Cross of the Lord. The Russian name for the holiday is proiskhozhdenije, or procession, which indicates a ceremony of bringing out, a procession of the cross, or simply iznesenije, which in Russian more accurately translates the original Greek. Since the time that the Son of God sanctified the Cross with His sufferings, the Cross has been given unusual miracle-working powers. The history of this feast day bears witness to this.

A portion of the Cross would be brought out in Constantinople during bouts of the plague, and then, annually on August 1, the Cross would be brought from the Imperial Residence to the Church of Hagia Sophia. There, water would be blessed, and then, for two weeks (coinciding with the Dormition fast), the Cross would be taken around the city. On August 14 (August 27 new style), the Cross would be returned to the Imperial Residence.

This celebration was echoed in Russia along the lines of the Constantinople Church. Here it is joined with the memory of the Baptism of Rus in 988. In accordance with the rite accepted in the Russian Church today, during matins on the eve of this day, after the great doxology, the procession of the holy cross is made to the middle of the church for veneration, and prostrations are made as they are during Veneration of the Cross Sunday of Great Lent, and after Liturgy the next day, the lesser blessing of the waters. At the same time, newly-harvested honey is also collected (see August Menology ch. 1, pp. 21-2). The people of Russia traditionally called it the Honey Savior, and the Transfiguration was the Apple Savior.There is no theological significance to the blessing of honey or fruit, but these are the centuries-old traditions of Russia, and the Church has given its assent to them. It is good to bless the first honey and the first fruits of the year, as long as it doesnt overshadow the main spiritual essence of the holidays and the fast repentance and mercy. From the beginning of Christianity in Russia, the Russian people have known the power of fervent prayer, of genuine repentance and works of piety, and the rule of charity, which believers tried to make law in their daily lives. Let us follow their bright path, and may our Heavenly Father grant us victory over our passions as well as eternal bliss, by the prayers of the Most-Holy Mother of God, the All-Merciful Savior and the power of the Venerable Life-Giving Cross.

Gregorian calendar: Beginning of the Dormition/ Fast.

In our tradition: The procession of the cross coincides with the beginning of the Dormition.

On a mystical plan it links the Passion/Resurrection and the Dormition or departure of the Mother of God.

The color red indicates martyrdom, the blue is the color of the Mother of God.

THE SEVEN HOLY MACCABEAN MARTYRS: HABIM, ANTONIN, GURIAH, ELEAZAR, EUSEBON, HADIM (HALIM) AND MARCELLUS, THEIR MOTHER SOLOMONIA AND THEIR TEACHER ELEAZAR ((166 B.C.)

The seven holy Maccabee martyrs Abim, Antonius, Gurias, Eleazar, Eusebonus, Alimus and Marcellus, their mother Solomonia and their teacher Eleazar suffered in the year 166 before Christ under the impious Syrian king Antiochus IV Epiphanes. This foolish ruler loved pagan and Hellenistic customs, and held Jewish customs in contempt. He did everything possible to turn people from the Law of Moses and from their covenant with God. He desecrated the Temple of the Lord, placed a statue of the pagan god Zeus there, and forced the Jews to worship it. Many people abandoned the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but there were also those who continued to believe that the Savior would come.

A ninety-year-old elder, the scribe and teacher Eleazar, was brought to trial for his faithfulness to the Mosaic Law. He suffered tortures and died at Jerusalem.

The disciples of Saint Eleazar, the seven Maccabee brothers and their mother Solomonia, also displayed great courage. They were brought to trial in Antioch by King Antiochus Epiphanes. They fearlessly acknowledged themselves as followers of the True God, and refused to eat pig’s flesh, which was forbidden by the Law.

The eldest brother acted as spokesmen for the rest, saying that they preferred to die rather than break the Law. He was subjected to fierce tortures in sight of his brothers and their mother. His tongue was cut out, he was scalped, and his hands and feet were cut off. Then a cauldron and a large frying pan were heated, and the first brother was thrown into the frying pan, and he died.

The next five brothers were tortured one after the other. The seventh and youngest brother was the last one left alive. Antiochus suggested to Saint Solomonia to persuade the boy to obey him, so that her last son at least would be spared. Instead, the brave mother told him to imitate the courage of his brothers.

The child upbraided the king and was tortured even more cruelly than his brothers had been. After all her seven children had died, Saint Solomonia, stood over their bodies, raised up her hands in prayer to God and died.

The martyric death of the Maccabee brothers inspired Judas Maccabeus, and he led a revolt against Antiochus Epiphanes. With God’s help, he gained the victory, and then purified the Temple at Jerusalem. He also threw down the altars which the pagans had set up in the streets. All these events are related in the Second Book of Maccabees (Ch. 8-10).

Various Fathers of the Church preached sermons on the seven Maccabees, including Saint Cyprian of Carthage, Saint Ambrose of Milan, Saint Gregory Nazianzus and Saint John Chrysostom.

JOHN 5:1-4

1After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.

HEBREWS 2:11-18 11

For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,12saying: "I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will sing praise to You."13And again:"I will put My trust in Him." And again:"Here am I and the children whom God has given Me."14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham.17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
