Supernatural and Torchwood Recs

Supernatural

Mister Sparkles by ignipes

Dean/Unicorn Sam

I'm sure virtually everyone in the Supernatural fandom has read this by now but this is absolutely hilarious! Sam falls into a patch of enchanted hay and gets turned into a unicorn. Sheer cracktastic brilliance.

Little Green Apples by sevenfists

Dean/Sam

Adorably sweet and schmoopy story with Dean and Sam tentatively finding each other.

Torchwood

Angels in the Architecture by ignipes

Gen

Short sharp Tosh character study following the events of the episode Greeks Bearing Gifts. Lovely look at an oft overlooked character.

Between the Shores by misslucyjane

Jack/Ianto

Ianto cares for a gravely injured Jack. Set after Jack's return following the events of End of Days this is a bittersweet tale with Ianto gradually letting Jack back into his heart. I love how Jack is literally the broken man in this fic with his shattered bones but Ianto is the one who is truly broken.

All Things in Time by poisontaster

Slight Jack/Tosh implied Jack/Ianto

Haunting tale centred around the events of Captain Jack Harkness only in this tale Jack and Tosh were never rescued from 1941. Beautifully written, strongly characterised piece and the cyclical nature of the ending is chilling.

Jack/Ianto

Lengthy angsty story centered around the events of Cyberwoman. I can't see cannon Jack ever being as hopelessly in love with Ianto as he is depicted in this story but that minor quibble aside this is a strong piece which shifts back and forwards in time from the various Torchwood team members joining Torchwood 3 to the aftermath of Lisa's rampage. I especially like the depiction of Suzie in this story - she's normally portrayed as a pantomime villain but in this piece she's a fun vital woman who has a real loving friendship with Jack.
