MASTER POST
1. All-time Favourite Wincest Fics
Once I was well and truly entrenched in the world of wincest, I realised I wanted to honour the works written by some of the amazing fanfic writers in the wincest fandom. Because there are just so many wonderful fics, I decided to post a link to My Bookmarks list on AO3; it's just the tip of the wincest iceberg and for most of the writers with fics on my list, I'd highly recommend their other works too. Many of these fics triggered tears and a literal ache in my heart but there is a mix of angst, pwp, light-hearted, AU's, death fics, omegaverse, early seasons, late seasons, first times etc. etc. Both boys bottom and I've tried to indicate this in my bookmark if it wasn't already in the original tags. I occasionally read fics from LiveJournal or Fanfiction (I am trying to change this but just find the sites so clunky to use) and one of the very first wincest fics I ever read on LiveJournal still happens to be one of my favourites so I've linked that below too. I'm so incredibly grateful to the very talented writers who share their works with us. This is my way of saying thank you so enjoy!

2. SPN Episode-related/inspired Wincest Fic Recs
From October 2024 to August 2025, I rewatched all 15 seasons of SPN. Following each episode I then searched AO3 using a variety of search terms looking for Sam/Dean fics related to/inspired by that episode. I read most of them (although for the first several seasons I did limit fics to certain word counts and tried to limit the number of fic recs to 3-5 but you'll see that I eventually stopped limiting myself because why deprive the world of more wincest?!), selected my favourites of the bunch and posted them on tumblr along with my thoughts on the episode at the time. I wouldn't put too much weight on my ramblings as they're not meant to be too serious or profound. I find on each successive rewatch my thoughts about episodes can vary quite a bit. I'm in awe of the discourse that occurs between fellow wincesties and the depth of their interpretations and psychoanalyses of plots, actions, behaviours, words etc. but that is not me unfortunately. Anyway, as I come across fics that had not been written at the time of my rewatch, I will try to add ones that standout. Enjoy!

Additionally, I'd also recommend the following, from writers that gifted us a fic or ficlet after each episode:

Deleted Scenes by Paperstorm (up to penultimate episode of s5)
Fumbling in the Dark by leondiaslion (almost to the end of s5; I have NOT read this yet but you can't go wrong with LeonidasLion!)
