Mode: Final Issue! by yahtzee63 is an amazing, wonderful ending to the show that gives me exactly what I wanted out of all the characters. It is eventually Betty/Daniel, but it builds there in a lovely, glorious way that feels very real and true. This is a fitting, wonderful story to read after watching the final episode.

The Prison and the Open Hand by musesfool is a sharp, painful story about Dean through the eyes of another character at the end of season five, but you don't really have to have seen any of season five to really enjoy it. (I haven't seen any of season five, but nor do I mind spoilers for it, and the story does have some spoilers.)

I started this recs list yesterday, and it's slow enough at work today that I'm going to keep reading as much as I can. (We probably should have been closed today--I certainly wish we had been closed today, I'm exhausted.)

First, the story written for me.

A Knight's Tale

"5 Firsts", a gorgeous, heartbreaking, wonderful story about Kate the blacksmith and her relationship with her dead husband and her relationship with Christiana. The scenes between the women are absolutely breathtaking and wonderful, I can't believe how much so. The whole story is terrific, the tone wonderful, the bits of dialogue perfect for the source material. I am filled with so much glee because of this story, and reading it has made me happy.
