@anotherspnfanfic ~ Her masterlist is filled with Dean Winchester and Supernatural goodness. If you like reading Firefighter!Dean fics, this is the blog for you!! Hit and Run is a wonderful 3-part mini-series. For 9-1-1 fans, check out the 6-part series Nobody Fights Alone. Elaina also has a prompt list – pick one, send an ask, and you may get a drabble/fic in return.
@babyboibucky ~ As their URL implies, this blog is all about Bucky. One-shots to series, fluff to NSFW, there is plenty to choose from on this masterlist. I recommend The Match, an ongoing NSFW series with CEO!Bucky x Reader.
@carryonmywaywardbucky ~ A multi-fandom blog with a long list of fics to choose from. Abby’s masterlist includes Supernatural, Marvel, Harry Potter, Star Wars, and more! A vast library to choose from - angst, smut, fluff, AUs, and gender-neutral fics. Dating Dean Winchester Would Include is hilarious with spot-on characterization. Close Quarters is a fun Lucifer Morningstar one-shot.
@downanddirtydean ~ Lydia has a long masterlist of Supernatural fics; be sure to check out the individual mini-master lists for Dean and Sam. There is a wide variety to choose from – fluff, angst, smut, even a couple of crack fics. Check out I Could Show You for some wonderfully fun smut with Dean. If you want some angst, try Dean’s Other Other Cell.
@dreaming-about-fanfictions ~ A multi-fandom masterlist that includes Bridgerton, Harry Potter, Star Trek, Supernatural, The Witcher, and even a few original works. Black and White is a wonderful, very angsty, Kirk x Reader story.
@hoboal87 ~ From drabbles to series, Alex’s masterlist is filled with Winchester and J2 stories. Choose from fluff, angst, or smut. I recommend The Fear, a Dean x Reader fic that had me on the edge of my seat. I may be a little biased, but for those that want to read an angsty Sam x Reader series, check out Elastic Heart.
@jensengirl83 ~ While her Dean master list is the most extensive, Brandy’s full masterlist includes all three Winchester men, as well as Jensen. Hurt/Comfort, fluff, angst, lots of pining. Regret and Redemption is a beautiful AU series about Dean desperately seeking redemption from the woman he wronged.
@kickingitwithkirk ~ Sam, Dean, J2, RPF, TFW, and Walker. Glen’s masterlist has a lot to choose from, including A/B/O and polyamory. If you enjoy angsty fics, you will find plenty here. Although the fuffy The Coupon Book of Love is definitely worth a read too.
@my-proof-is-you ~ Sam shares a name with one of our favorite Winchesters. Her masterlist includes several series for Dean, Sam, Jensen, and Jared, as well as one-shots and drabbles. Check out the ficlet Delicate, based on the Taylor Swift song, for some angsty Dean feels.
@peridottea91 ~ So many feels on this masterlist. One-shots and series for both Sam and Dean. I recommend Bad Days (Dean), Old Books and Whiskey (Sam), and Hunter’s Farewell to get you started.
@risingphoenix761 ~ A multi-fandom masterlist that includes The Boondock Saints, Supernatural, The Walking Dead, and even original poetry. Drabbles and one-shots with angst, smut, and even a couple of dark fics. Stripped is a beautiful poem about vulnerability. Need some smutty Negan vibes? Read Wake Up, Dollface.
@sams-sass ~ A self-proclaimed hardcore Sam girl, her masterlist is filled with drabbles, one-shots, and series about the youngest Winchester brother. There’s also a couple of Dean fics. Check out Breathe and The Way You Love Me for some sexy, loving Sam.
@samwilsons-pillowpecs ~ For all the Marvel fans out there, check out Suz’s masterlist of one-shots and series for Sam Wilson, Bucky Barnes, Thor, and so much more. Your Eyes is a richly detailed and emotional Sam Wilson x Reader story. A lot of hidden gems on this list, including several fandom crossovers.
@soaringeag1e ~ Criminal Minds, The Walking Dead, and Supernatural fics fill this masterlist. There is so much to choose from, with character and RPF drabbles, one-shots, and series. Love Line is an ongoing heartbreaking Jensen x Reader series. I also recommend Coming Home. Megan has an ongoing AU Detective!Dean Winchester x Victim!Reader series called Escape, and I’ve been told that there will be some Walker fics added in the future.
@stusbunker ~ Stu’s masterlist is lush and varied – Sam, Dean, Cas, and a myriad of other SPN characters, reader inserts, and OCs, drabbles to series, comfort to smut, A/B/O, and AUs. There’s even a Supernatural/Criminal Minds crossover series. You’re sure to find something to enjoy, like The Fear That Remains, a wonderful Endverse!Dean x Reader fic.
@themoonandotherslikeit ~ Kayla has a varied masterlist of Dean, Sam, and Castiel series, one-shots, and ficlets. Breathe is a captivating series (on-going) about discovering new possibilities and accepting that people aren’t always what they seem.
@watermelonlipstick ~ Chloe’s masterlist is full of delightful drabbles like Furniture Shopping, as well as one-shots and series for each of the brothers. Dean’s Jeans is a lovely one-shot about the boys and their families after leaving the hunting life behind and finding their happily ever after - so many feels.
May is my birthday month, so I decided to celebrate by hosting another Blog Appreciation Bounce.
The purpose of the bounce is twofold - 1) it's a way to help fans find new stories and artwork they might not have seen, and B) to help the featured blogs find more exposure. The previous bounce was a lot of fun and this one is going to be even longer!
Begins ~ 6:00 am US CT, Monday, May 10
Ends ~ 11:00 pm US CT, Sunday, May 16
That's a whole week of discovering amazing new-to-you creators, or re-discovering some old favorites! There are several fandoms represented this time around too. A little something for most everyone.
And what would a birthday be without presents? Just look at all this fandom goodness.
What?! 😂😈😂
Where would the fun be in revealing everything right off the bat?
Huge thanks to lexicolor and @mom-and-popcosmic who worked with me to supply awesome fandom merchandise to give away. 🥰🥰🥰
I also went on a not so little shopping spree at @scentsfromthebunker and some other fandom merchandise shops.
More info about the May Blog Appreciation Bounce and how you can earn entries for the prize drawings coming soon.
Tagging: (If you want to be tagged in posts about the Bounce, let me know.)
It's time to go forth to read and share fabulous stories, discover new friends, and have some fun.
Follow the RULES (there aren't that many), and you could potentially win amazing fandom swag. If you don't follow the rules, it doesn't count as an entry. Be sure to use the tag #maybab21 and mention me in the reblog.
The biggest win, though, is all the awesome creative content you will discover and consume for free! You have an entire week to read and reblog original content from the featured blogs to earn entries.
