I have a few different rec lists, so here is a handy-dandy post linking you to all of them. Be warned, I am a huge fan of smut and almost all of my recs are rated R or NC-17, so if you are looking for lower-rated fics, this is not the place for you. This is also almost exclusively slash pairings, though every once in awhile a het pairing manages to sneak its way in there.

I also dabble in fanfic writing, so if you're interested, you can find that HERE.

If you are curious about my likes/dislikes/preferences in fic because you want to make me something (or because you're just nosy), you can find those HERE.

I read in a ton of fandoms, but this is mostly geared towards Harry Potter. Most of these likes are pretty general, but they hold most true for my OTPs (in HP's case Harry/Draco and James Sirius/Teddy). I'm a lot less particular when it comes to the other pairings I enjoy.

And, of course, this is just a list of my general preferences. For just about all of my "dislikes" I can think of fabulous exceptions. If you are making something for me, I can pretty much guarantee I'm going to love it! <3

Tons of thanks to birdsofshore, from whom I stole this format/organization of ideas.

Title: When It Happens.
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing(s): Dean/Sam
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~10,000
Content/Warnings: seasons 3, 6, 7, 11, 14, & 15; alternating POV; 5+1; drunkenness; jealousy; Dean's demon deal; brief soulless Sam; cursed Dean Winchester; (kind of) fuck or die; bondage; begging; s11e17: Red Meat; grief/mourning; mentions of canonical character death; hugging; post-s14e18: Absence; post-s15e19: Inherit the Earth; kitchen sex; chair sex; frottage; mutual masturbation; two hands one dick; finger-sucking; implied switching, self-indulgence
Summary: There have been many moments over the years when Dean and Sam could have acted on their not-so-brotherly feelings for one another, but they've always held back. Until they didn't.

Or:

Five times Dean and Sam don't kiss, and one time they do.

Author's Note: I got the idea for the first scene on this fic while on vacation, and the rest of the fic unfolded from there! My first Wincest fic that includes both POVs and that spans more than one season!

Thanks, as ever, to shiftylinguini for reacting with poise and grace when I told her to expect yet another Wincest fic to beta, and to applecrumbledore for also agreeing to give this a once-over! <3

And SO much love to the incredibly talented artist, Deeranger, who claimed my fic for the Wincest Big Bang 2023 and created such gorgeous images for it! I am still in awe, and you should check out their SFW post on Tumblr and NSFW post on Twitter and give them all the love!

Genuinely almost forgot to post this today! The tragedy!

Title: Gutted
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing(s): Cain/Dean

Content/Warnings: Post-Season 10; Episode 14: The Executioner's Song, Dream Sex, Mild Blood Play, Knife Play (sort of), Bonding, Mark of Cain, Anal Sex, Mild Breathplay, Top Cain/Bottom Dean, POV Dean, Ambiguous/Open Ending

Author's Note: This takes place after episode 14 of season 10: The Executioner's Song.

Written for the annual Bring Back the Porn Challenge--if I ever miss a year, send help.

All the thanks to applecrumbledore for the beta!

hd_erised is back, baby! This is actually going to be my last year modding, which is bittersweet. But I've been drifting away from fandom in general, and HP in particular, for a long time now, and I feel ready to say goodbye. If any of y'all are Drarry-inclined, I'd love to see you join! <3

Title: Like a Dog with a Bone
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing(s): Dean/Sam
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~3,250
Content/Warnings: Season 9; Episode 5: Dog Dean Afternoon, Established Relationship, Puppy Play, Praise Kink, Cuddling, POV Dean, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Bottom Dean/Top Sam
Summary: In which the dog communication spell continues to have unexpected side-effects.
Author's Note: This takes place during episode 5 of season 9: Dog Dean Afternoon. Because basically all the puppy play fic for this pairing has completely ignored this fucking gift of an episode, for shame!

Thanks to shiftylinguini for the beta!

Title: There's Fire
Author: gracerene
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing(s): Dean/Sam
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~4,703
Content/Warnings: s13e22: Exodus, missing scene, coda, sequel, grinding, intergluteal sex, POV Sam
Summary: Dean wanted them to both forget it had ever happened, but a close call makes him reconsider.
Author's Note: This is a sequel to my fic Where There's Smoke (which takes place mid-season 13 during The Bad Place episode) and this fic occurs during and after episode 22, Exodus. I think this can be read as a standalone, but it heavily references events from that fic and they're really best read in order. :D

Pairing(s): Dean/Sam
Rating: Explicit
Word Count: ~4,750
Content/Warnings: post-s03e11: Mystery Spot, season 7, established relationship, untrained attempts at exposure therapy, hand jobs, trauma, mild erectile dysfunction, song!fic (but not in an annoying way I promise), hurt/comfort, magical healing cock, POV Dean
Summary: Dean can't do anything about the Lucifer hallucination running amok in Sam's head, but maybe he can help with this.
Author's Note: Written for the Supernatural Bro Bone Bang Round 3, for the song prompt Heat of the Moment by Asia, because Mystery Spot slaps.

Set vaguely sometime in season 7, with heavy references to the Season 3 episode: Mystery Spot.

Pretty standard WC for me these days.

This has been on my TBR for years and I finally got to them! I thought these books were great and I really hope this author writes more in this series!

Binti (Binti #1) by Nnedi Okorafor
Next read for book club!

It's been ages since I've done a rec round-up and TBH, I'm not even sure if I've posted some of these before, but ehh, double reccing is hardly a bad thing!

( Harry Potter: Drarry )

( Supernatural: Wincest )

I mean, at least I broke 1k? I wasn't surprised this was a low week, since I was editing + starting a new fic which is a bit slow. Plus, I continue to have very limited time/mental capacity for writing, which is very annoying, as is, I'm sure, my continued complaining about it. Alas.

Deconstructing the Fitness Industrial Complex: How to Resist, Disrupt, and Reclaim What It Means to Be Fit in American Culture by Justice Roe Williams, Roc Rochon, & Lawrence Koval
Recent non-fiction read and I thought it was a really great look at fit culture in America, though I did personally feel that fatness was less represented than I'd have liked.

Women Who Run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Recent audiobook listen! Interesting sample of the larger book breaking down mythology with a lens towards the wild woman.

Binged this in one sitting, and I very much enjoyed! Good balance of sciencey sci-fi and relationship/character stuff.
