OK, here are the recs for Supernatural that I have spent hours coming up with so far. I may come up with more later, but I have a lot of stories to go through.

Crossovers

X-Files
The Hunter and the Hunted
by art_of_mayhem and candygramme
Dean Winchester/Alex Krycek

Numb3rs
By TexasAries
A Waking Dream - Dean/Charlie
Dream Lover - Sam/Don

Sentinel
By briarwood
Family Values - Dean/Sam
SUMMARY: It was almost the only thing in their childhood that was normal: the shared giggles under the sheets at night; the whispered revelations. Just like all boys learning about sex for the first time. In a world filled with ghosts, monsters and demons, this much childhood innocence was left to them.

Cry Wolf - Dean/Sam, Jim/Blair
SUMMARY: In a small town in the Cascade Mountains, people are dying, bodies found mauled by some kind of beast. The Winchesters think it's a werewolf and plan to hunt it. Ex-cop Jim Ellison and his partner Blair are also hunting the creature. The four are uneasy allies, but Jim's suspicions of the brothers uncover the secrets of their past.

These can be found here.


RPS

A Goodbye Kiss
By Amber/affectingly
Jared/Jensen (with appearances by lots of others)
Summary: Jensen disappears without a trace and Jared finds himself in the middle of a conspiracy that he couldn't have imagined on his best day.

Damaged 'Verse
By cherryscott
Damaged (the original story).
Sequels

new otp 'verse
By keepaofthecheez
Smallville-era!Jensen/Gilmore Girls-era!Jared

This is kind of unusual. They are stories written in a community with two authors taking different characters and telling the story. I think these were all written by cherryscott and cruel_illusion.
Go to Freedom To Write and check out the tags for Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Christian Kane, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and James Marsters. It will make sense once you check it out. Be sure to start at the beginning.


Supernatural

Bloodlines I
By rei_c
Pairing: Sam/Dean, Sam/John, Sam/Dean/John
Summary: A routine hunt goes disastrously wrong and Sam's left scrabbling to make sense of what's happened.

Guardians of the Apocalypse
By jenshih_blue
Summary: After the death of their father, the Winchester brothers discover the beginning of the road to their destinies. Two destinies that were foretold thousands of years before they were born and entwined so tightly neither can tread the road alone.

That Phantom World So Fair
Otherside
Blue Like Heaven
Summary: Dean goes to pick Sam up from Stanford and ends up finding more than he bargained for.
By rei_c
All three stories can be found here.

Secrets amd Bonds - An AU Supernatural Series
By Pet and Foxhunt2blue
Summary: Following the events of 'Home' Sam confronts Dean about his reluctance to talk about what happened in Lawrence. His refusal to speak about Lawrence as well as other secrets he's keeping may pull the brothers apart or draw them closer as they confront feelings neither of them have a name or explanation for.

For the End of my Broken Heart
By bloodkisses
Summary: Set post Devil's Trap. Dad's disappeared and Sam's left to pick up the pieces of his broken brother.

Memories of Me
Wherever This Road May Lead Us
Touched
Author: Gillian Middleton
Summary: While investigating a routine curse in a small California town Dean loses his memory. With only his brother to lean on feelings begin to develop that aren't exactly brotherly. How's Sam going to cope with that?
All three stories in the series can be found here.


Manip

And just for the heck of it, an awesome manipulation by thalassa_ipx.

I figure I should probably post SOMETHING here, just in case anyone ever checks. So I thought I would write a little something about myself.

I am in my 40's and have lived in southern California all of my life. I was totally ignorant of the existence of fan fiction until late in 1998 or early 1999 when I became obsessed with the show Sports Night. I discovered the Sports Night group on Yahoo and joined the list. (I am still a member.) It was there that I first heard about fanfic. Then there was something called slash, but I had no clue what it was. From the first slash story I read, I was hooked! I had been watching shows for years with a slash perspective, I just didn't realize that it had a name and that a lot of other people were doing it too. I eventually got dragged into reading X-Files and Stargate SG-1 slash. I also like Numb3rs slash. Unfortunately, it hasn't taken off like Supernatural has. I am really happy to see how much Supernatural slash is out there now. Luckily, I decided to take the plunge and figure out LJ as I realized I was missing out on a lot of good stories. 

I love to read crossover stories, especially if I am familiar with all the series involved. I am hoping to someday see a Numb3rs/Bones crossover.  I really like longer stories with a plot, although smut has its time and place too. A big frustration for me is reading a WIP that I don't realize is a WIP when I start reading it.  A bigger frustration is when that WIP forever remains a WIP. 

I rarely read stories online. I copy them to Word and then load them onto my Palm Pilot. It is much easier to read them that way as it gets really uncomfortable sitting in front of a computer for hours. I can read slash in bed or in line at the post office. 

Maybe someday I will try my hand at writing. Although it has been 8 years and it still hasn't happened. It is just so intimidating as there are so many talented writers out there. Plus, who has time to write when there is so much reading to do?
