destiel fic recs - all completed
bound to you by chipper99 - 'faced with death, dean makes one last ditch effort: praying to an angel he knows won't hear him. dean's prayers are answered when a vessel-less castiel forces himself out from the empty, taking possession of dean's body in order to heal him.
the 5 senses of longing by deancaskiss - 'cas has been without his powers for moths, and while they're stuck in a lull on fighting abaddon and finding metatron, dean decides that maybe it's time to take cas on a little road trip, just the two of them.'
apres by imogenbynight - 'when the angels stop falling and castiel makes his way out of the trees, he finds himself alone and oceans away from the winchesters. for once, dean flies to him.'
until the end and after by philyra912 - 'a year ago, the world didn't end. now, it's summer and the cicadas are buzzing, and something is changing. something is going to give.'
tell me about the dream by playedwright - 'in which after lucifer hitches a ride to hell on sam's back, dean makes good on his promise to settle down. so what if it's with cas instead of lisa?'
between the essence/and the descent by tothewillofthepeople - 'cas comes back on thursday. and then he keeps coming back on thursdays. he doesn't seem to have much choice in the matter, actually. for the rest of the week, he's stuck in the empty, and dean is left trying to figure out how to save him, how to talk to him, and how to get him out for good.'
when all is said and done by bextra - 'after chuck is defeated and cas is saved, dean still struggles to put what he feels into words. so instead, he does everything he can to show cas what he means to him. and that includes buying them a house.'
let me sleep (in your arms) by bextra - 'cas is back and that is great. except that it worries dean how much cas struggles to adjust to humanity, haunted by nightmares and memories every night. so it's just a gesture of their friendship, despite castiel's feelings for him, when dean offers cas to stay with him at night.'
ashes and embers by capricous__capricorn - 'dean grieves, grows a beard, becomes a dad without realising it, and gets his happy ending.'
for the first time (again) by stressed_depressed_lemonzest - 'dean and cas come together in fits and starts, over a thousand firsts.'
