John/Dean:

Colarado, what now? by egipci - 3000 words, Mature, tw: incest, non-con

I will never stop thinking about this fic, because it killed me, and I am writing this having resurrected myself from the dead. This is an ugly story (affectionate), with one of the most powerful explorations of Dean's devotion to John, and John's instability, that I've ever read. Can't recommend this one enough if you can manage the subject matter.

The Witching Hour by tenyearsgone - 5805 words, Explicit, tw: incest

I admire this writer greatly for being able to tell such a juicy story set over four years in so few words. The prose is also generally delicious. Explores what happens between John and Dean after Sam leaves. I'm sure you can use your imagination about what that is, but it's done so compellingly.

Won't You Tell 'Em I'm Mad by deandatsgay - 6775 words, Explicit, tw: underage, dub con, John being a creep

This is from Ellen's viewpoint re a teenage hooker!Dean soliciting punters at the Roadhouse, John's very blase reaction to it, and Dean trying the same thing on his dad. There's so much more to it than that though, it's really unsettling and creepy and good and the tone is the good kind of nasty. Ellen is also written so well.

As if we'd never met by thatotherperv - Words: 6685, Explicit, tw: references to child abuse, incest, underage (Dean is 17)

This fic takes the accidental incest trope and makes something beautiful out of it. Two hooker! Dean fics in a row haha - he gets picked up by John and ends up staying with him for a while. The dynamic is great and I love this kind of "outsider pov" on John, which it is, because Dean doesn't know they're related. I think about this story often.

Such Patient Beauty by Polly_Phemus - Words: 3248, Explicit, tw: incest, BDSM

So this isn't explicitly johndean, but shit is so beyond inappropriate/fine line and I hate how canonical this fic feels lmao. John finds a way to make some money, Dean does all the actual work. I feel like it's harder to say much more without spoilers but this is such a fucked up and fun read.

Isolation by cestlestialbeings - 1020 words, Explicit, tw: incest, depression

This fic holds a special place in my heart as it was the first johndean fic I ever read and it hooked me on the ship so hard. This fic is heartbreaking - Dean feeling lonely and unwanted and trying to replace John with strangers. It's a lovely piece of work.

What do we call what we have but love? by vintagedean - 23895 words - Explicit tw: covert and overt incest

This appears on every johndean rec list I think, and rightly so, because it's a work of art. The insidious covert incest in the first few chapters is so well structured and unsettling, and I love how unreliable a narrator Dean feels throughout the story. Also John is crafted in such an unstable way that feels so true to me, and I love that. It's also one of the few slightly longer johndean fics out there so there's more to love. Huzzah.

tell me your heart will never change by amiwritesthings - 5618 words, mature, tw: incest, angst

A story with established samdean and Sam's vp. This is a rollercoaster. Sam finds out about John and Dean after John's death and what ensues are some of the most heartbreaking lines and dialogue that I've ever seen in any fic. Its just beautifully done and the pacing is great and I have read this over and over again.

Learned Behaviors by artbabe - 1465 words, Explicit, tw: incest

This is such a unique take on johndean. It's difficult to say much more than that without giving spoilers but I don't think I've ever seen the dynamic written quite this way before and I'm in love. Just read it, you'll see what I mean.

Sam/John:

Favored Son by astrangerfate - Words: 1337, Mature, tw: incest, dub con

Creepy ass story. Dean essentially finding out why John treats Sam better than him.

The sound of dead leaves by unhappy_ghost - 2303 words, Mature, tw: implied abuse, covert incest

This is probably the only horror story on this list. Creepy, creepy shit. The tone of this fic is really unsettling from the outset and then it just kind of gets worse from there. John is a dark and predatory character here and there's some serious covert dead dove going on. Its brilliantly done though.

John/Sam/Dean:

John/girl!Dean:

Ami's Daddy's Little Girl series - amiwritesthings - Several parts, Explicit mostly (?all), tw: incest, dub con

WHY IS EVERYTHING SO MUCH CREEPIER WHEN DEAN IS FEMALE. Anyway this is a great series of John/Deanna plus Sam as well, they are all kinds of dysfunctional and toxic and straight up terrifying sometimes and the smut is A Lot. It's addictive!

Lullaby by egipci - 1500 words, explicit, tw: incest

This one speaks for itself. Beautiful prose and characterisations and John having sad boi hours, not being an asshole, but knowing he could be. This one is a headfuck (affectionate).

littledeer by vintagedean - 3465 words, Explicit, tw: incest

This series is unfinished but still definitely worth a read, the dynamics are that perfect johndean mix of absolutely fucked up and awful and really sweet. And there's added Sam which is always a bonus (for me anyway lol).

NB: I read a gorgeous, short john/girl!Dean fic a little while ago involving Dean going out to drink after Sam leaving and then coming back and coming onto John, or the other way around, I can't quite recall... I wanted to rec it here but I can't find it... if anyone knows the fic I'm talking about please let me know, I'd love to read it again!

Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps by Hope - Explicit, 3385 words, tw: incest

Basically Sam and Dean ganging up on John. John isn't mad about it.

State of Emergency by Perpetual Cookie - Explicit, 3612 words, tw: incest, underage
