Juliana, I may possibly have read all of those maybe kind of sort of because, err, if it came out in the last two months and is Steve/Bucky or Steve/Sam, and is on AO3, I have read it or at least tried to read it before clicking the back button with extreme prejudice.

Also, if it's tagged pre-serum, I have read it or attempted to do so.

Basically, remember that time I was sick and went through all the appalling tags for Supernatural fic until I ran out? (Back when delicious was a thing.)

It's like that, only I'm not violently ill, and am therefore being somewhat picky.

I know those feels. I don't know if you can see my bookmarks (on AO3), but I've got quite a few S/B bookmarked that are pre-WS (so probably Jossed, but still good).

Communal kitchens and movie nights!

THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANT OUT OF THIS FANDOM! ::weeps::

But it's what I want out of the fandom! Which is probably why I love scifigrrl47's fic so much.

I read what Jilli reads. Love my schmoopy Avengers in a Kitchen fic.

I'm generally anti-fluff, but Avengers kinds if gets a pass because it's humanizing for these epic figures. It makes sense in a way fluffy SPN doesn't. Sherlock has the room, but for me needs the framework of a mystery to work well. I hate kid fic, yet it works in Avengers fandom for me. Maybe because the world is bigger and not based on a limited premise?

I fail at fluff. I'm sorry?

Hey! Anyone know the best way to circulate research links so that people can, err, learn not to put fucking rescue inhalers in pre-serum stories? [link]

Because, wow, I read a story today that would have fucking ROCKED if it weren't for the rescue inhaler.

I've read a couple of pre-serum pieces that had the "asthma is psychosomatic" bit, so some people are doing the research.

Some always do. And you'll always have the ones who don't. My big concern, though, is for the ones who do not know that there is research to be done.

Which, I suppose, is a sign of aging. So much shit that was still fairly new and shiny when we were kids is now old hat.

I am reading a (somewhat tedious, very fluffy, but longfic which I crave something awful as go-to-sleep reading) that described in great detail the beauty of the sun coming up over the horizon and then spent three pages repeatedly calling it a sunset.

I was just thinking there needs to be a pre-series SPN FAQ that people use . But tumblr as that platform? Abominababble.

Juliebird, if you like Sherlock, especially with case fics, you might want to scrounge through swissmiss's bookmarks. She categorizes them all into various collections and at least two or three of them are listed as being case fic driven. It's not all inclusive of every Sherlock fic out there, just her favorites, but it's still pretty extensive.
