I've been making my own fiction and book lists for as long as I can remember and I've really started to enjoy it again now that I'm back in school and studying cataloguing. That said, I doubt this list will ever be as comprehensive as I would like. Nevertheless, if you love this pairing like I do, it should still provide you with a nice starting point.
This pairing can get dark, and that's fine, but there are certain things I won't read.
To be eligible for this list (as this is more my reading list than an attempt at a master list), fics must conform to the following:
- Contain Sam/Lucifer as the focus or one of the main pairings.
- Contain no Sam/Lucifer/others - these two only, please.
- Contain no straight-out physical noncon, BDSM, humiliation, and the like.
Because different authors and archives all seem to use a different rating system and personal opinion can differ enormously, I'm going to spell out what the ratings - for this list, anyway - really mean. It's still subjective, but at least this way you can find the sort of fic you're looking for a little more easily.
Ratings:
G - suitable for your four year-old cousin. The bare bones of a story with the often dark motivations stripped away. "Rated E for Everyone" kind of thing.
PG - mild language, violence.
PG-13 - dark themes, strong violence/language, and/or light romance (sexual allusions permitted).
R - sexual situations, graphic violence, and/or disturbing subject matter.
NC-17 - explicit sexual situations.
Of course, any higher rating can, and often does, include elements of the ratings below it.
Genres:
For the most part, I've replaced this section with any warnings, other pairings, or other notable things about the fic instead of true genres.
Also, PWP has gotten a bad reputation. I don't mean it disparagingly at all, just as an indicator that the primary subject of the fic is, well, the porn part. Many of these have excellent characterisations.
By all means, please rec me some new or missed fanfiction.
