Fandom: Supernatural (Dean/Castiel)
Dream of Now by Sass_Master
Various moments in Cas and Dean's relationship.
Sooooooo this series is pretty great. Iām an absolute sucker for slice-of-life SPN, and there are NO WORDS for how much I love this authorās Dean. Dean Winchesterās issues are many, but heās working on it, okay?
In which Castiel is an operations analyst, Dean is a grease monkey, and even though it's set at NASA no one goes to space.
OFFICE ROMANCE!! And, oh my Jesus, this fic is so, so immersive. I honestlyā¦cannot believe how amazing this author is. This fic has humor, tension, oh-baby-please-give-Cas-some-cookies-and-cuddles angst. (Cas does, in fact, get both cookies and cuddles.) This story is so quintessentially Supernatural itās insane, one-in-a-thousand, and itās an AU!
And Then We Wait by anglophileprussian
Dean is a basket case of emotion and Charlie likes a challenge (and is kind of lonely).
This is adorable and real and heartbreaking. My favorite Charlie of any fic ever, and I think we can all agree that Dean needs more friends.
Remaining Grace by todisturbtheuniverse
Sam's missing his soul, Castiel has a pissy archangelic nemesis, and Dean wonders if he'll be spending the rest of his life making sure the Apocalypse doesn't go ahead as scheduled. Still, though. He's happy to see Cas. Indiana wasn't really working out.
Alternate season 6, in a universe where Castiel made a different choice, and things snowball from that point forward.
This fic is so good?? And apparently VASTLY underrated, because Iāve only just recently stumbled across it. Ā The characterizations are great, smart writing ā itās a really interesting read. Definitely a long fic that doesnāt drag like some do.

Sam watches Dean and Cas over the years and notices a few things. (Or, Dean and Cas unscripted.)
My poor abused heart. A series of canon Dean/Cas moments ā starting with 4.01, ending with 9.03 ā and everything hurts.
Apple Pie by Anythingtoasted
āSo, uh. What now?ā He asked them both, and whereas Samās face was blank, and the word āAmeliaā was clearly just behind his teeth, Castiel spoke up immediately.
āI think we should revisit your āCharming B&Bā idea.ā
IT'S SO!!!!!!!! FLUFFY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Casturbatus Interruptus by smallhorizons
post-9.01, in a slight AU wherein Cas comes to live with the Winchesters at the Bunker.
Dean walks in on Cas masturbating. Heās doing it all wrong, but when youāre a bazillion-year-old virgin, thatās to be expected. Dean decides to lend him a hand in a totally platonic, non-romantic way. Things get a little out of control.
Okay yes this is trope-y as fuck but I love it.
Favorite Fusion/Crossover:
Excerpts From Carver Edlund's Magnum Opus by twentysomething
"C'mon, Cas, it's like we're Mulder and Scully, this is totally X-Files," he says expansively, waving a hand around. It makes his tie flap and momentarily obscure the new and distracting belt buckle that just says "LUCKY" in huge, embarrassing reflective script in the early morning light. Castiel just stares blankly at him.
"I don't know what that means," Cas replies. Dean sighs and rubs the bridge of his nose under the bright yellow sunglasses.
Bones fusion fic that really stuck with me! If youāve never seen Bones then you can definitely still read (though some of the characterizations may seem weird if you havenāt.) Something about the (amazing) Dean and Cas voices and the story pacing begs for a podfic, but I donāt think one exists. (Yet!)
Every Man's Got A Right by MollyC
Cas never expected to live through Dean's last plan. Now, he's not only alive, he's in the pastābefore Dean went to Hell, before he made the deal at all. Can a fallen angel and a couple of hunters change the future by altering the past?
*warnings: (2014!Cas) drug use, (canon-typical) violence, minor character death*
2014!Cas in S2 Supernatural. Ho boys. I will admit that Iām not typically the biggest fan of End!Verse, and I was a bit wary of a 2014!Cas, but this author changed my mind in the first 5k. And please donāt let the first-person POV scare you off. Seriously, this isā¦an amazing read.

One of those special, special few where every fic is a great fic. And a currently-active writer, at that! Many many thanks Ā to you, xylodemon.
(And because Iām unrepentant fandom trash)
A Sort of Fairy Tale by misslucyjane
Misha loves Jensen. Jensen is ā¦ getting there.
Thereās something so muted and raw about this one. A very unique characterization of both Misha and Jensen that still holds true.
