Destiel Rec Lists

Well, I have lots of High School/College AUs on my rec list. You can check them out if you want more. 

No, He Can’t Read My Poker Face  Summary: It’s a Masquerade Ball. Normally something Castiel would want to avoid – too many people getting drunk while taking part in the total lack of inhibitions that a mask can give them. The last part, well, Castiel intends to take full advantage of.

Now For A Night, Here For A Song Summary: Dean and Cas get locked in a library during a snowstorm. 

Being Good Isn’t Always Easy Summary:  Pastor’s son, Castiel Novak, works in Harvelle University’s library; Dean Winchester is the new trainee. Neither party wants to enjoy being paired together… but they just might.

Creeping Through The Window Summary: Dean Winchester lucks out and gets into the college of his choice. He’s not as lucky when it comes to his roommate. 

Chemistry Summary: Dean and Sam Winchester have just moved into town. Castiel finds the new kid interesting, but not as much as Dean feels about Castiel. 

It’s Always the End of the World Somewhere Summary: The status quo is this: Dean is the popular captain of the football team, and Castiel is the off-kilter nobody who doesn’t so much as breathe the same air as Dean. Then senior year happens and the status quo is shot to smithereens.

Wrong in All The Right Ways Summary: Castiel had always liked Dean’s ideas. Liked them, gone along with them; encouraged them, even. After one taste of that special adrenaline kick only Dean’s ideas could produce, he’d been hooked. It took him years to figure out why he felt funny when Dean smiled at him, though. 

Punch Drunk Love Summary: In which Castiel asks his best friend to teach him how to kiss. Well, he didn’t actually ask – Dean offered. Which is weird ‘cause Castiel is pretty sure he’s very definitely straight.

I Might Kinda Like You Summary: Castiel had always liked Dean, but after Dean hurt his feelings, he never talked to him again. Until they literary bump into each other at a party, and Dean has a few confessions to make himself…

In This Secluded Spot I Respond Summary: It’s 1995, and Castiel’s high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year when he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay. Then new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel’s classes. Castiel has seen his type before – handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.

Oh Yes You do Mr Novak Summary: Student!Dean and Teacher!Cas… Smut ensues. I think that says it all.

Phys Ed: The Practical Side Summary: Dean Winchester remembers a lot of the students he now teaches after moving to the high school in his small home town of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. But no other student sticks out like Castiel Novak.

Celebrity coming out

Falling Through the Ice by althaclena (sub rec) [NC-17, 22,600 word count]

Dean’s finally retired from the Dallas Stars, and he’s back at his original home ice-rink for a publicity stunt for his autobiography. Problem is, he has to do something that terrifies him. Second problem is, he has to do it in front of the man he was best friends with as a kid, until the ice cracked under him and he was left on the wrong side of an increasingly large chasm. A story about smashing expectations (and some pumpkins), what it means to be brave, and how to follow your heart. Also, smut.

Whisper Its Name by delicious-irony (deliciousirony), supernatural9917 [M, 5,000 word count] * 

English actor Castiel Novak is determined to make Balthazar Roché’s masterpiece novel into a film.

Asexual!cas

La Vie A Plus by K_K_TiBal [T, 6,300 word count] *

Dean Winchester is hopelessly, head-over-heels in love with his best friend and roommate, Castiel. Castiel - with his blue hair, and his tattoos, and his artwork, and his perfect everything. Dean never stood a chance, really. It only sucks because, as far as Dean can tell, Castiel is definitely not interested. But love, much like art, has a way of being unpredictable. Even if you think you know where you’re going with it.

Grey ace!cas

Should’ve Just Asked by scaramouche [NC-17, 77,900 word count]

Despite their age gap and differing social circles, Castiel has struck up a warm friendship with Mary Winchester, a wealthy widowed socialite. When Castiel needs a place to stay, Mary invites him into her house, where there’s loads of spare room. Castiel’s aware that they make an odd pair, but he doesn’t fully realize how things look to outsiders, especially to Mary’s eldest son. All Dean Winchester sees is that his mom has apparently hooked up with a hot young guy (who is totally Dean’s type) and that makes things… weird. [dcbb 2016]

Just Your Heart, In Exchange For Mine by noxsoulmate [M, 46,800 word count]

Dean owns a bakery and Castiel loves his pie. This could be such a cute little bakery love story – if it weren’t for the fact that one was a retired hunter and the other one a powerful witch. There’s also the matter of the black little cat Dean finds in front of his bakery one cold and rainy night. Not to forget the crazy witch on the loose, ripping out other witches’ hearts. [2016 SPN Reverse Bang]

Wherein Castiel defied God for Dean before Dean even knew his name.

Lipstick by soupernabturel (sub rec) [NC-117, 184,000 word count]

It’s the typical story of Boy-meets Boy-next door. Except Boy 1 isn’t exactly all that he seems, and boy 2 is less of a boy than she’d have others believe.

Closeted bisexual and falling for a dude? That’s a recipe for disaster

Everyone’s a Critic by Englandwouldfall [T, 109,00 word count] *

The one where uninspired chef Dean Winchester has a one night stand with the male (!) food critic who described the flavour of his garlic bread as ‘closeted’ and accidentally ends up dating him to try and prove that he’s a kick ass chef, thank you very much. (He may have a point about the ‘closeted’ thing).

Cas is straight. OR IS HE?

Get Your Motor Runnin’ by supernatural9917 [NC-17, 11,000 word count] *

Dean Winchester knows nothing about cars, so now that he’s inherited his dad’s 1967 Chevy Impala, he’ll need all the help he can get from the only mechanic his dad ever trusted: Cas Novak, proprietor of Novak Automotive Repair & Restoration.
