Title:  Passing
Author:  xenoamorist 
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairings: ambivalent Dean/Castiel, mention past Dean/OMC
Genre: General
Length:  Short (Words: 5,513)

Author's Summary:
When Sam and Dean once again find themselves agreeing to save Chuck’s Supernatural convention, Dean expects it to be yet another salt-and-burn ghost case. What he doesn’t expect, however, is confronting a part of him that he never wanted to face.

Review:
This isn't your typical fandom meets canon characters.  It deals with the shortcomings of canon on issues of race and gender, and also its love/hate depiction of fans.  Mostly I like it though because its a pretty decent one-shot dealing with questioning one's sexual identity (especially having to confront it when you're not ready yet) and touches on other minority issues.

Author's Summary:
10-year-old Grace is being used as a courier to smuggle a priceless diamond necklace through airport security. When everything goes sideways, Grace has to trust an injured FBI agent and a bad guy who's not as bad as he appears.

Review:
This is a cool case fic from the perspective of a smart little girl the bad guys are using to smuggle diamonds.  I really like her personality and the outsider perspective on the Peter and Neal partnership is nice too.
