Destiel: January - April Fic Recs

 
JANUARY - APRIL
FIC RECS

***15.20 SPOILERS BELOW***

When nothing else can fix a crapy ending, fan theories at least make it make sense. There might even be more fic recs in the future... For now, more AUs, some fix-its and throwbacks to a better time, with a very surprising RPF thrown in there.

April 26, 2021 

FIVE MONTHS. Five months post-series and I've finally accepted it...with the help of the #SPNFamily, of course.

Defeating Chuck was supposed to grant them the freedom they'd always been fighting for. But when Dean died, all of it just seemed so utterly pointless! To survive the apocalypse multiple times, only to die on a rusty rebar...it's not the ending he deserved. It wasn't the ending either of them deserved.

I blame the show, I blamed the writers, but I never one even considered Chuck was behind this because they left him powerless on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. He no longer had a say in their lives. 

But what if he did? 

BECKY 

This is just an ending. 


CHUCK 

Yeah. I don’t know how I’m gonna get there, but I know where I’m goin’. 


BECKY 

But it’s so...dark.

 

CHUCK 

But great, right? I can see it now… “Supernatural: The End”. And the cover is just a gravestone that says “Winchester”. The fans are gonna love it. Well? 


BECKY 

It’s awful! Horrible. It’s hopeless.

You can’t do this to the fans. What you did to Dean? What you did to Sam?


Chuck wrote the ending when he still had power. I don't think Jack even realized His plan, and might not have been able to do anything about it even if he did know. All he could do was prepare Heaven for Dean's arrival, re-make it with the free will they were robbed of in life.

THIS is the only way can accept Supernatural's ending. They never had free will. Dean died because Chuck wanted to hurt the fans and Jack did what he could to make it easier on us. And I'm okay with that.

Fragments (11/11)

NC-17 | AU | first time | by FieryAngel

Dean Winchester works with fragments, pieces of cut glass that he uses to create shining, translucent works of art. When he is commissioned to work on a large piece for a local church, he enlists the help of Castiel Novak, a third year art student who is eager to create and find his place in the world.  As the artists spend a summer living together and creating art out of fragments, will they come together to learn that they are two parts of a larger whole themselves?

The Lives We Leave Behind (16/16)

NC-17 | AU | first time | by DarknessBound

Being America’s Sweetheart has its challenges, the biggest one being the fact that Dean can’t trust anyone but his bodyguards that are literally paid to keep him alive. Finding love is nearly impossible because the whole world thinks he’s straight, so he settles for secret hookups that never quite fill the void. But when Dean decides he’s had enough and outs himself, he receives a series of death threats that change his entire life. Thrown from opulence to roughing it in the backseat of a ‘67 Impala with no one but his most infuriating bodyguard as company, Dean learns that sometimes... the ones best suited for us come in surprising packages.

⭐ The Skeletons in Both Our Closets Plotted Hard to Fuck This Up

NC-17 | s.15 | established | first time | by oftirnanog

He’s so desperate not to fuck this up that he’s given himself a complex. So they’ve made out on the new couch in the Dean cave while watching old westerns and they trade kisses in the morning and they’ve even slept in the same bed on more than one occasion. But all they’ve done is sleep. Anytime Dean thinks he’s ready to push things further, to roll Cas over and grind into him in a way that leaves no room for interpretation, he gets inside his head and ends up slowing things down before they get to the good part.  


In which Dean is too much inside his head about sex with Cas, consults the women in his life about it, and finally gets over himself enough that they finally get naked. They also cook Beef Wellington.

A Study in Leather

NC-17 | s.15 | first time | by Redamber79

Cas has been human for a few months, but he definitely needs to lighten up! Dean decides to pull a harmless prank and steal Cas' clothes while he's in the shower, which backfires spectacularly when Cas shows up wearing his own leather jacket and a towel.

It’s Such a Mystery (The Way You Know Me)

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

So the man crouching in front of Castiel is named Dean. He wonders if that’s supposed to mean something to him.  


“Cas must’ve got hit with something earlier. He just dropped like a sack of fucking potatoes a minute ago. By the time I was checking on him, he had already woken up again, but now he doesn’t fucking know who we are.” 


 “I’m right here you know,” Castiel says testily.  


Sam’s eyes are wide even as his eyebrows are furrowed, and he looks between Dean and Castiel again.  


“What do you remember, Cas?”  


“Firstly, that I’m not Cas. I don’t know who Cas is, but it’s not me. I don’t know who either of you are, either." 


Or, the one where Castiel is hit with a memory curse that makes him forget the Winchester brothers and is stunned to find out he has a family... also why can't he stop thinking about Dean?

Structuralism

NC-17 | first time | by PunsandPoses

There are so many components to a kiss, so many different styles and techniques that can make one's heart race. Castiel knows nothing and yet everything, and it scares him all the same.  


Or, in which Castiel learns things about himself, critiques romance novels, and learns what it is to kiss Dean Winchester.

⭐ A Kiss for Every Season (Literally)

NC-17 | s.15 | first time | established | by sobsticles

The first time Dean and Cas kiss, it's not really even a kiss at all. It is not, however, the last kiss that they share. 


Dean doesn't think about it. Not about what it means, not about what it makes them, not about how it affects him. This life—that's not how things work. It's just this, these "in the moment" moments that always slip right out of his fingers because he lets them. He doesn't try to hold onto them, and neither does Cas, and maybe they shouldn't.  


Cas kisses him like no one else does, like no one else ever has. Dean absolutely does not think about it unless it's happening to him, and then he doesn't have the ability to think at all. What does it say about him that he occasionally kisses his best friend, who's a man? Dean doesn't know, and he doesn't really want to find out, either.

BONUS:
**MIND THE TAGS**

Never in my life did I think I would not only read a fic with these pairings, but actually enjoy imagining a fictional polyamorous relationship with these incredible people...or that I kinda have a thing for Danneel. 

Disclaimer: No one really knows what they're like day to day, outside of the public eye, so I was able to read this as if they're just characters in a story based on real people. Danneel is just gorgeous and I really wouldn't mind being in the middle of an Ackles sandwich...


Skip this if it ins't your thing.
