SPN Fic rec - In Reverse by sodakey

In Reverse by Sodakey

Set in S1 between Faith and Route 666, Dean and Sam are investigating a case in Lander Wyoming. Things get complicated when a bunch of Sam's college friends turn up and recognise him. Suddenly they're trying to protect Sam's clueless friends, as well as solve the case - which, just to make it harder, seems to be related to a case from their childhood.

The author juggles so many original characters perfectly, giving them each a personality and spark of their own, while writing a darn good John, Dean and Sam. Lots of well written hurt/comfort, brotherly interaction, outsider pov's, and a case that has you guessing from the get-go.

It's gen, it's epic (31 chapters, probably about the length of you're average novel), it's fantastic! Go Read!

yep! They seemed a bit too clingy, but there was all a reason for it in the end. Thanks for the rec. :)

oh man that fic is incredible....just totally sucks you in (which is why I screamed and ranted when I read it the first time and found out after the 28th chapter it was a WIP) :P

Still have the last chapter to read but I'm savin it for like when I have a whole afternoon to go back and remember what actually happened in the other 30 ;)

Hehe, so glad I only started when it was complete! The last chapter is a killer for my particular angst buttons... :)

Has been rec'd to me before and I've favourited it but haven't yet found the time to read properly. Maybe when I get a holiday after Easter. It does look good from my skimming.
