Well, I know who I'm calling if the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, Future or otherwise show up at my house!

A few notes:
1. Some of the links lead to off LJ sites.
2. Each reader is responsible for double checking warnings on the story itself. It is not my job, nor the job of anyone else, to make sure you’re aware of the contents of the story.
3. I encourage you all to leave feedback for the authors! Feed the authors and they will continue to feed us.
4. This would not have happened if it were not for the generous help of many, many people. In particular, I would like to thank
musesinspire for making the lovely banner above and for coding the recs list. You are a star! Also, I understand that
dhark_charlotte came to the coding rescue. Many, many thanks to you as well!
5. If you encounter any mistakes, please drop me a note in the comments and I’ll do my best to fix it quickly.
6. Lastly, feel free to squee in the comments if you’re so inclined.
On a personal note, today is the last day of the Recathon! Thanks to everyone who participated. Congrats to the authors who were recced. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves as much as I did. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
And now for the recs!

Exact Change - (Adult) (Sam/Dean).

Falling recklessly, abruptly in love with your brother in the middle of a motel room with onions on your breath and the smell of iodine still hanging in the air isn't something you can recover from."
A Warning For A Promise - (Adult) (Sam/Dean). "Sam scowls and lopes up the stairs behind Dean. It's something Dean has never taken for granted, the way that Sam always follows a half-step behind him. When they were kids, it was about stride - Sam's legs couldn't keep up with Dean's. Now, that excuse doesn't fly anymore, but Sam's still always just over his shoulder. Following Dean, maybe, or protecting him."

Comment: In the summer between S3 and S4 Sam needs someone to help him miss Dean less. That someone turns out to be Ruby. This is snarky, witty and so IC it never fails to make me giggle upon each reread!
Quote: "Ruby, when people lose their brothers, you give them time."
"Fuck that," says Ruby. "I've got Chunky Monkey and Sleepless in Seattle."
Sam snorts. "My brother is dead and you brought me chick flicks and ice cream. You know I'm not a girl, right?"

The characters are incredibly true to life in this fic, her Dean in particular is spot on and fantastic in dealing with this late-night crisis. Quote: Dean lets out the breath he didn’t know he was holding, and turns back to face yet another Winchester truism: Solving one problem usually just clears the path to the next one.
