ghosts that we knew by @dothwrites Castiel Novak is one of the best hunters Dean Winchester has ever worked with. He's witty, whip-smart, and has enough knowledge about the supernatural to rival an encyclopedia. He's got humor dry enough to put the Sahara to shame and he's pretty easy on the eyes as well. All in all, he's the best partner Dean could have hoped for. Too bad he's dead.
seek to know you better by ahurston Dean and Cas, a long stretch of highway, and 36 questions empirically designed to make two people fall in love. As if they weren't already.
tell me about the dream by @castumes or, 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? put up your dukes by saltyfeathers Dean can't sleep. Cas offers to tire him out. fenario by @sodomitecastiel “We did good, Dean,” Sam says. “We got him back.”Dean huffs a hollow laugh, because yeah, that’s always what it’s about, isn’t it? Cas or Sam or Dean getting themselves lost or dead, and then taking turns dragging each other back from the brink. He shrugs, shoving his hands into his pockets.“We got him back, yeah,” he says. Sam nods, watching him. “So now what?” named by RC_McLachlan Jesus Christ is dead. Somehow, that isn't the worst part of Dean's week. so says the sword by komodobits Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected. strandlines by @gravelghosts It’s September 18, 2008. Castiel is being deployed to rescue Dean Winchester from Hell. He lands in Dean Winchester’s motel room in 2003. Things go from there.

"How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses. The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard. The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.  “I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”

Destiel Fic Recs!
Congratulations or sorry, but here are some more Destiel fic recs to take over your life.
Penny & Pound by thalius @seasontwelvedean (Explicit, 67k WIP)
OK, I know some of you don't read works in progress, but this one is worth breaking that rule for, because it caused me approximately 25 internal breakdowns. Go read it yesterday. 
Dean's in love with Cas. That's a given. And lately he's been thinking about doing something about it. Especially now that Eileen is becoming a fixture in their lives and Dean finds himself more achingly alone with Cas right beside him. All he has to do is work up the nerve to ask his best friend out. What's the worst that could happen? He says no? Leaves and never returns? They start dating and Cas realizes Dean is the worst and they break up and everything is terrible forever? He's fine. This is fine.
This canon/canon adjacent fic is a master class in the disaster4disaater, Dean and Cas are the last to know it's requited dynamic. It's amazing and sweet and I found myself unable to sleep until I read one more chapter. If that's not enough, there's also some incredible stuff about Dean and Mary trying to work on their relationship and Cas trying to figure out where he fits into Claire's life. This fic is everything.
Strandlines by aeli_kindara (Explicit, 40k) @gravelghosts
Speaking of fics that make me feral, Strandlines is one of those stories where you have to stop reading and think "holy shit this is so incredible" and then stare at the wall for a good 10 minutes.
Cas finds himself back in the year 2003 with his memory scrambled. All he knows for certain is that he has one directive: save Dean Winchester. It's Stanford Era Dean with all of his brash, charming bravado and his aching loneliness. And Cas at his BAMF angeliest but free from the interference of Heaven.
The fic will make you ache. It's gorgeous. It absolutely dismantled me. The way Cas sees the man who wants so desperately to know he can be loved. The way Dean wants Cas to stay and how he wants to share everything with him. It's breathtaking.
 Plus there is a healthy dose of Fuck John Winchester as a treat. 
the home we make together by vaudelin (Explicit, 48k) @vaudelin
A post-canon fix-it that is so soft and sweet. After losing Cas, Dean has exhausted almost all his options to try and bring him home. One more shot. And if it doesn't work, he'll have to stop. He needs to focus on Jack, now a toddler. Dean has built a life for them. A good one. But he has to try it one more time.
What follows is a sweet, consensual possession domestic Dad!Dean and Dadstiel fic that will heal your soul. Toddler Jack is adorable and Dean and Cas finally have time without the world ending to try and figure out what they want their life to look like. It's the soft epilogue they deserve.
Falling Inn Love by MalMuses (Explicit, 58k) @malmuses
Sometimes you need some hilarious, tropey rom-com goodness in your life, and this fic goes above and beyond. It had me laughing so hard I had tears rolling down my face as I tried not to wake my family (because I wouldn't put it down and go to bed). It also has a lot of heart. 
Cas' comfortable if unsatisfying life gets turned upside down when he breaks up with his suffocatingly controlling boyfriend and then finds that the company he's devoted years to has gone belly up the next day . 
Single and with no real plan, Cas is wallowing with his bestie (Meg, my beloved) when he gets an unexpected opportunity. His co-worker is willing to sell him a quaint little Inn in Kansas at a bargain price. Cas can finally pursue a dream he's had since college. 
So off Cas goes, sight unseen, to start a new life. But he manages to make a complete fool of himself in front of the town's most eligible bachelor within minutes of arriving and the dream home he purchased turns out to be a bit of a nightmare. Cas may be a bit Inn (sorry, but you know I'm not) over his head.
More below the cut
The Closest Thing We Have To Magic by EllenOfOz and TrenchcoatBaby (Explicit, 221k) @ellen-of-oz
As I have said, I'm very picky about AU fics because I need Dean and Cas to feel like them. This one manages to hit all the Destiel feels for me and it is so so good.
Set in a world where magic exists but is regulated by elite learning institutions, Dean is a graduate student working on his thesis. This is made more difficult when he's assigned Dr. Novak, a drop dead gorgeous new professor as his advisor. An advisor he can’t stop thinking about. 
Dean and Cas are absolutely messy disasters in the best way in this fic. Seriously, they are amazing. I'm a sucker for smart, competent Dean. And Cas is trying so hard to do the right thing. 
But I can't rec this without also mentioning the absolutely stellar world building. The authors have created such great mythology. From the way magic works to the use of the profound bond to the societal inequities created by the regulation of magic. Seriously, you won't want it to end.
The Angels of Freetown by Friend of Carlotta (Explicit, 50k) @friendofcarlotta
A Briidgewater style AU with Professor Cas and small town police officer Dean as a married couple trying to navigate small town life. When a fog settles over the town and people begin disappearing, they have to work together to try and solve the mystery before there are catastrophic consequences. You don’t have to have listened to Bridgewater to enjoy this (though listeners will appreciate some of the little nods). This story has great horror elements and I won't spoil the monster, but you will probably understand why I was screaming at the reveal.
This one is a great read. I particularly loved the casting of the side characters (Ambriel, my beloved). This one builds the suspense so well. It's definitely creepy in all the right ways. 
Under the Nothing Sky by MalMuses @malmuses (Explicit, 78k)
This one's a bit dark, so mind the tags. I'm a sci fi fan at heart and I love a good dystopia. The world MalMuses has built here is so great and I could get lost in it. 
Cas is a well-respected, honorable citizen of Glass City. Does he sometimes had doubts about his arranged marriage with Hannah? Of course, but then again love in a marriage is pretty rare.  He’s confident that they can at least be friends. Besides, he's on the cusp of everything he's been working for his entire life. Command of his own ship.
 But a happenstance meeting with a green-eyed stranger throws his world into disarray. He thought the unassigned (people living outside of the constraints of society) were a myth. But suddenly Cas finds himself confronted by a new world that calls into question everything he knows about his own.
MalMuses has created an entire world with its own mythology and I am HERE for it. There’s a great, suffocating, panopticon style society that will make you itch. There are objectively horrible values that will make you want to rebel. It's fantastic. But the heart of the story is a cocky, flirty Dean and a buttoned up and somewhat wide-eyed Cas. They're impossible not to love. And the side characters. The amount of time I spent yelling about Charlie and Gabriel and Eileen. It's fantastic.
In case you missed it, prior fic lists

“to be merry & bi” by @pointyearedelvishprincling
“You’re staring,” Cas pointed out, without a trace of bemusement on his face. “What are you thinking?”
Dean broke into a grin. “You ever made a snow angel, angel?”
A small “v” knit between Cas’ brows, and god, it was beautiful. “I don’t understand.”

It’s not like he could ever move on, not really, but this waiting-not-waiting is impossible. It’s unbearable except all he can do is bear it, because there’s no alternative. So he drives, and he writes shit like “you’d hate reno” on the backs of 99-cent postcards, and he keeps driving and waits and knows nothing’s ever gonna change.

Destiel fic rec list: Things I've bookmarked in the last 6 weeks
There is zero theme to this. Just fics that I've read recently and enjoyed.
The Trapdoor by hal_incandenza: This one is a WIP and it's only getting started. But it's already incredibly interesting. An alternate s13 that deals with the aftermath of Dean letting Cas posses him, it's difficult to describe the story because I'm not sure where it's going yet. But it's already very tense, very mysterious, and feels deeply in-character. And I haven't even mentioned the way that the author plays with format, promising to break the narrative frame. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this one goes.
our lights in ashes by teen_dean: A post-15x19 fic that transports you to its world. As Dean is grieving, he goes on a road trip with Jack through the American South, solving cases and chasing the apparition of Cas. Meanwhile, Cas is trapped in an alternate plane of existence, searching for a way to get back to his family. This fic mixes Southern Gothic with cosmic philosophy to great effect. There's a reunion scene in chapter seven that does something different from what we normally see, that I went back and reread mulitple times. A fantastic combination of case fic and overarching narrative, where each individual case captures your attention, even as you're wondering, when are Dean and Cas going to get back together?
Don't Stop, Make It Pop by dumbassnatural: Cas gets TikTok famous posting videos about being gay. Sounds like crackfic, but it's a very well-balanced and sensitive exploration of Cas' feelings about his sexuality and identity; Dean coming to terms with retirement, parenthood, and his own sexuality; and Jack's need for positive reinforcement. And the slow-burn between Dean and Cas is excruciating. This is a WIP so go read it, and give the author some love and encouragement.
The Way You Did Once Upon A Dream by @icefire149: This fic goes in quite a different direction with its exploration of grief, and I love it. It doesn't shy away from the way grief hurts relationships, and the way that sometimes, you don't recover from it. The way it alternates between Dean's fantasy and the harsh reality is very effective. But my favourite thing about it is actually the way it treats Dean and Jack's relationship, how the author lets Jack be angry.
The Eightiesnatural series by spiderglass: There's two fics in this series: One Flash of Light (But No Smoking Pistol), and put on your red shoes (and dance the blues). They're roadtrip fics that have that relaxed road-trip-fic vibe that I love. But I'm rec'ing them mainly because they redefine the genre of songfic. It's a love letter to eighties music, and I've never read a fic that incorporates music so damn well in every scene, where every song sets the mood perfectly, and where the music is described so effectively.

goshen’s remains by redeyedwrath
At the core of its being, Castiel feels a tug.
It snaps back into itself as the tug grows strongers, as part of its grace calls out for the rest. Dean Winchester’s soul is vibrant enough that Castiel feels Dean ask even if he is not aware.
A flash. It lands in front of a restaurant. The road is abandoned: a lone street light flickers, then dies out.
This is a cover for one of my own fics, goshen’s remains, for @dadstiel and @hellodean‘s fic writer celebration! I knew I wanted to make something for goshen’s remains because it’s my best Supernatural fic and I just... really like the vibes. If s4/inhuman Cas, diners, pining, and Vibes -tm- are something you’re into, then maybe you’d like this fic. Thank you and congrats to hellodean and dadstiel for hosting this thing!

stay by @thisisapaige (15k, E)
Standing on the bridge beside his brother, Dean looks around. Something’s wrong. Because this Heaven, this place Dean supposedly deserves, just seems so... empty.
I know I've said this before but this is really my comfort fic. I love this fic so much. Is a fix-it where TFW gets to ACTUALLY be free, Cas and Dean also work things out but when you think they are finally able to be together... well... there's a part that's a bit angsty but it makes the last part infinitely better. And Sparky is everything to me. The timestamp is fluff incarnated, so good. I love it so much, so this is a small thing to celebrate that this fic exists.
for @hellodean and @dadstiel milestone celebration (this has been one of my favorite milestone celebrations, thank you for doing something to appreciate fic writers <3 huge congrats)

del’s favorite fic writers!
hi all! happy spn fic writer celebration, and congrats on your milestones @dadstiel @hellodean :) here’s a short list of some of (not all, because boy would that be a lot) my favorite supernatural fic writers!
a_good_soldier aka @s11e17
frank writes such lovingly crafted fics. there’s no shying away from some of the more difficult parts of supernatural characters and their lives, but the affection and kindness shown to them anyway is palpable to read—frank’s fics feel so cleansing. great deancas content and one of the number one sam understanders. 
my personal favorites: Here, bullet, here and if you are hungry then take note
--
kathscradle @caskarass
not to get too writer-y, but i really look up to kath’s style. it’s simple without being bare, intricate without feeling over the top, and ALWAYS a delight to read. kath writes cas especially so well—he always has that perfect mix of otherworldly disconnectedness, deep kindness, and absolute bitchiness. 
my personal favorites: The Lawrence Library Lecture Series and Blackwater Lakes
--
LoversAntiquities @tragidean
this fic writer is one of my go-tos. if i can’t find something i want to read, i look through their fics because holy shit they are always so good. they do deancas tenderness like no other, and their style is so evocative. PLUS they have a wide variety of fics. seriously, they have something for everyone.
my personal favorites: love, now and forever and through the stars
--
tiamatv
i can be quite picky about aus, for a variety of reasons. HOWEVER, i have to say that i’ve really enjoyed everything i’ve read from this writer. their aus are inventive and fun and always a delight to read—plus they have some canonverse stuff that is also really great! their fics are the kind you can settle in with 
my personal favorites: Psittaciformes and Hourglass
--
misslucyjane
this author hasn’t posted supernatural fic since 2012, but the stuff that is posted is SO GOOD. in terms of classic destiel, she is one of the authors i recommend to everyone—despite most of the fics being ten or more years old, they hold up really well. she captures the vibes of kripke era destiel without feeling out of character at all.
my personal favorites: Unperfect and My Sweetest Downfall Series
--
orange_crushed
another author who hasn’t posted spn fic in a while, but boy the stuff they have up is great. you’ve probably read some of their more popular stories. i have to say, though, even the less well-known fics are great. their prose is offbeat and snappy and SO fun to read, and their aus are just as good as their canonverse stuff.
my personal favorites: The face of heaven. and La cucina.
--
ellispark
oh i love ellispark fics. they’re so reliable—no matter what kind of mood i’m in or what i’m feeling, i know if i read one of their fics i’m about to really enjoy myself. you can really settle into them, if that makes sense. simple but beautiful writing, with a great understanding of the deancas dynamic.
my personal favorites: Someone Who’s Feeling For Me or Fight or Flight

a compilation of things I've made in the wake of the cheapest room in the house
watercolor painting
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is an original painting, please do not repost. reblogs are welcome and appreciated
inspired by the entire fic? but most prominently the last chapter. a beat up copy of slaughterhouse-five and an empty pack of cigarettes are in the footwell. the rings are a callback to when cas was compared to rings in a tree. the impala window is speckled with stars and a big warm yellow hand reaches down into the scene. in the top there's two figures in a light pink bed. in the middle they are facing with hands entwined into a heart, on the right one is facing away and the other's hand is on their back (it's dean and cas). the top left corner, in red ink, says "the cheapest room in the house"
a playlist - with some of skrog's top boystie picks, but mostly songs I thought were vibes
thank you @skepticalfrog and @witchycastiel (because even though fic betas are often underappreciated, we know that fics would often not exist without your support) for creating and presenting such a beautiful story for all of us to experience and have our dna lovingly rearranged by
below the cut are poems that are more on the personal side, but heavily inspired by our weird boy besties
1.
The sunlight is no weight
Holding your body above the ground
Soles of feet to sodden earth
You are a pattern
A drawing with no line breaks
Undulating
Wriggling between blades of grass and the buzzing of an Asclepius blossom
This humid afternoon on the edge of the meadow never ends
Blood red analgesic
The sweet drip of honey
Look down and yellow stars mark a path
Without a doubt mycelial fingers are preparing to tangle with your footprints
The inner rings of the hawthorns, set neatly by the careful hand of the elphen queen and kissed by fairies
Are singing to the halos in the beeches and the bands of the great white pines
Where the ravens croak in syncopation
This in and out of the breath
Of the beat between steps
Does it make us?
Or are we just a part of each moon
Leaving perfectly misshapen, crescent paintings on the table?
2.
I wonder who's hand mine will fit into
Like bird bones in the sacred leather of a great paw
I know I'm not that brittle
But I do dream of a warmth enveloping
Huffed, puffed gently
Like the breathing of the cat at my hip
Sleeping
Socked feet, with the blankets pulled up snug
A square hand between my shoulders or
Over the coarse, cotton swept hairs on my stomach
And the humming of a fan muddled
What will it take
For me to be the child, and not just the caretaker
And how long?
Someone's hand ought to be that big
And shouldn't I reach out?
Shouldn't I want to sink deeper into this bed without fear of repercussions from someone who doesn't exist?
Yes. And I'd bet it on the stars
3.
Love! And faith that there will be love! And the stars are like a warm hand curling against my spine and the trees are a solid standing point to see down into the valley of unknown but still it glows with sunlight and that *is* know so it doesn't matter
And the dark outside the window is frightening but there's trash and cd cases and joint butts in the footwell and a blanket in the trunk next to a brick and an ice scraper and I'm safe from the world in there!
Someone will hug me again and our hearts will line up and I'll be kissed
I wasnt raised to sleep all cuddly, too many issues, but I swear one day I'll get what I deserve
And that's more than some people might ever wish for me
