First? YAY NEW FRIEND. *snuggles* I'm a total AIM/MSN whore lately, so if you ever want to chat, about fic, or SPN, or the ham sandwich you had for lunch, drop me a line. AIM = euphiechan; MSN = mizzpeaches@gmail.com. YAAAY!!! \o/ :)
Second: yes, yes, yes to everything you say about first time Wincest fics in general. Not to say I haven't read my share of the 'take a left at the second kiss, and straight on to cocks-in-asses' kind of fic, but I tend to feel....unsatisfied by them. If I just want to read porn, just 'tab A, slot B' porn, then I can find that anywhere. If I'm reading Sam/Dean, then I am a lot less interested in the hardcore sex, and a lot more interested in the build to get there. I like first time fics that give me a reason to believe that, even as much as they're in each other's back pockets, as much as they're *part* of one another, that they would let it go that far.
And hey, mini!rec, as an example of a pretty much perfect first time fic for me: Bad Blood, by astolat (http://astolat.livejournal.com/142940.html). Because it's so full of cliches, and it's pretty much just sex, but it's...they're Sam and Dean through the whole thing. They're bitching, and griping, and teasing each other, and the way San gets Dean to go through with it is by asking him if he'd rather watch *Sam* die, not if he'd rather die himself. I have plenty of other recs (and GOD I need to do a rec post), but this is the second fic I read in the fandom, and the one that got me watching the show, because I wanted to know the boys in this story. I'm pretty sure most of fandom has already read this, but I wanted to put it as an example of the kind of fic that always gets me. Funny, and hot, and taking into consideration the fact that it wouldn't be all falling into bed with them.
Also, another little rec: ANY of setissma's fics. She's just started writing for SPN, though I've known her since SGA, and I think you'd particularly like 'Mile Zero', the second or third fic she wrote. :)
And yes, I completely agree with what you said about Henrickson. I think part of the reason I like his character so much is that he's believable. I can put myself in his shoes, and think, 'HELL YEAH I'm gonna catch those bastards, and they're gonna PAY' because Sam and Dean have the kinds of records that make good guys have nightmares, that would let Henrickson believe that every second he can't catch them they're out there hurting someone innocent, and that if he caught them, well. Promotion. BIG promotion. ;)
And yeah, I was a little blown away by the thermometer thing, but the fact that they shared the toothbrush was so...intimate. So comfortable. And that too was wonderful. :)
