I've been patiently hoping all you readers of the Dean/Castiel big bang would come in raving about a fic so I'd know it was safe to dive in, but I've only seen a few luke warm thumbs up float by. I really hope the Hunger Games crossover delivers.
Danger's my birthright.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You missed stuff. Thumbs up went to, IIRC:
- Contrapasso: >[link]
- The Definition of Perpetual Motion: >[link]
- Can't Smite My Love: >[link]
- Reaching For The Ground: >[link]
- The Day The World Went Away: >[link]
- Burning The Days: >[link]
- 12 Steps: >[link]
- The Bird That Feeds The Light: >[link]
- Come Down Off Your Throne: >[link]
List might not be correct--Julie and I didn't always agree, so I might have misspoken for her. But I'd say that 1/3-1/2 of the fic (RPF not counted) that's been produced so far is worth a read, which is a higher percentage than I thought decent of the main bang.

Oh man I definitely did. I caught & saved the last two only to read. Thanks for the recap!
ETA: & the links. That's awesome.

Enjoy, ehab. I hope I included the CM one in there. I meant to.
Laga, I read the first chapter and a half of that fic, and I can't get past my grammar and punctuation issues. And the prose style just doesn't work for me.

- A Love Story Told In Reverse art rec: [link] The story is...in need of a good beta. And I don't like the characterisations of Mary or John and Dean doesn't come off too well himself (eta: okay, I'm going have to say I have even more issues with the prologue characterisations than even that). But the overall idea is an interesting one, and I like how the plot plays out in the end, and am interested in the sequel.

I'm so overwhelmed by all the Giant Fic that I can't speak honestly as to the yayness or even remember what some of them were about. They weren't all awful, but...
Contrapasso I think is a giant Yay and worth a reread or three and an add to my memories. The others . . . I blame ita for making me expect three dozen Thursday's Child out of the DCBB. That perfect blend of a continually forward-moving plot, angst, whump, issues, whump, sexytimes, whump, epic awesomeness, and whump.

You blame me??? No fair! Some of the recs I listed for ehab were ones you liked, not me. Like Perpetual Motion--that's on you lady lady.
I made it as far thru the Star Wars one to get to the sex scene and it was all holistic Jedi mind force sex with sharing and caring and I just...ick. And strongly italicised. Also Sam is very pouty and jealous of Dean. Skippity skip.

heh.
I blame you for introducing me to Awesome and ruining me for all other fic.
