Destiel: June Fic Recs

JUNE FIC RECS

FINALLY! Working my way through shit writing to find these gems feels worth it.

★Don’t (14/14)

NC-17 | s.14 | first time | by tricia_16

After nine days of radio silence from both Jack and Cas, Cas returns to the bunker without Jack—with black fur, four paws, a tail, and an obvious preference for Dean's company. With no idea how to turn Cas back or how he got turned into a cat in the first place, Dean has to learn to live with Cas quite literally underfoot all the damn time. Nobody could have guessed that having his best friend in cat form would end up being the catalyst for a huge shift in their relationship, but looking back, he's pretty sure it all started with an annoyingly stubborn ball of fur…

I don't usually read WIPs, but I've been with this fic since Chapter One, waiting days for bi-weekly updates I couldn't wait to get my hands on. Fabulous writing, perfect characterization...best fic I've read in a long time!

Maybe Someday (5/5)

NC-17 | s.13 | first time | by tricia_16

Dean's doing a really shitty job of dealing with Castiel's death. He can't eat, he can't sleep, and he can't stop drinking. But worst of all, he can't stop kicking himself for thinking he had more time. He should've known better. Every day's a gamble living the way they do, and Cas had lost in the worst possible way. Now Dean's stuck drowning in the aftermath, telling himself over and over that he'd do things differently if he just had one more chance.

The Winchesters wouldn't have any luck if it weren't for bad luck, though, so he really shouldn't be surprised when the angel he's been pining for shows up with a familiar face but absolutely no memories. How's he supposed to make things right and keep his promise to himself when Cas doesn't even know who he is? And how's he supposed to keep his distance when Cas keeps looking at him like that?

Supply Run (14/14)

NC-17 | 11.23 | first time | by TheTwistedWillow

It was supposed to be a quick hardware store run to replenish supplies. What Dean didn't count on was for Cas to run into a potential love interest in the form of another man. Through the course of Cas' dating, and a few hunts, Dean comes to many realizations.

Stay

NC-17 | 14.18 | first time | by WickedNerdAngel

It's eight o'clock Sunday morning. The human 'Day of Worship' for those who believe. As an angel on earth, it used to be the day to seek Revelation. Not today. no, today is none of those things. Today... is the third day after Mary Winchester's death.

Giant, Anguish, Danger (13/13)

NC-17 | s.9 | first time | by MalMuses

Dean is drowning in guilt and nightmares. From kicking Castiel out of the bunker to letting an angel possess his brother, he has recently made some poor choices in tight corners.

A road trip up to snowy northern Minnesota for what they think will be an open-and-shut Wendigo case offers the tense, battered team a chance to refocus and bond. However, almost as soon as they get there, something is not right; the very forest itself seems to conspire against them.

Who’s On First

NC-17 | 13.12 | established | by edgarallanrose

Cas had effectively moved into the bunker. And by ‘moved into’ that meant Sam had kindly taken the time to set up a spare room for him, and Cas spent every night sneaking into Dean’s instead. Neither of them discussed why they were or were not going to tell Sam. In fact, there was little to no discussion happening at any time between them. There was a merely shared goal, and they had only made it as far as second base.

Not For Sam’s Eyes

NC-17 | established | by mansikka

Sam is a good brother. A kind, considerate one. But even kind, considerate brothers have their limits, and Sam's found his: walking in to find Dean and Cas naked on the table oblivious to him being there is where the buck stops.

But Dean is also a good brother, a kind, considerate one. Which is why he's taking Cas on a road trip of sorts, where they can christen new (old) surfaces, safe away from Sam's delicate eyes.

“I don’t have long,” Dean whispers in the muted motel room, a burnt out lightbulb still fizzing under a stained lampshade. “Sam found us a case.”

Cas nods and he doesn’t have to ask any further than that. He’s made an art at using what little time they have and making the most of it.
