Destiel Mutual Pining Fic Recs

Hello everyone!! Here are some lovely fics where Dean and Cas pine for each other... because them getting together in the first chapter is just too easy ;)

twelve omens by vaudelin (6.5k)

Dean can’t afford to be thinking of this, like—like he lost something more than his best friend. They don’t have time for him to work through some world-shattering self-revelations, not at this point in the fight.

And Dean isn’t, he’s not—it’s not like he would have ever thought he might—

But he could have been.

For Cas, he could have been.

preaching to the choir by piesexuality (7.9k)

“So, tell us—are you a religious man?”

Steve grimaces. "It's, um. Complicated. Very complicated."

OR There's no way Castiel lived that close to BYU-Idaho without running into some Mormon missionaries.

In the House of the Rising Bun by starryiedd (9k)

Dean Winchester only has three rules concerning the cafe he and his brother Sam own, "House of the Rising Bun".

1. Any and all opportunities to make a pun will be taken. 2. Free regular coffee with your student ID (If you want some of that fancy nonsense you gotta pay, sorry kids). 3. Anyone and everyone is always welcome.

Between Dean running the shop full-time and Sam helping out whenever he isn't in class, there really isn't a whole lot of time for romance for either of them. But that all changes when they gain a new regular - some writer from London - who may or may not have the bluest eyes Dean's ever seen.

Won't You Stay? by allmystars (18k)

A week before Christmas, a weekend with his brother, and a hike into the mountains shouldn’t change a single thing about Dean Winchester’s life. It’s just a trip, just to distract Sam from everything he’s lost.

But, when a blizzard blows in, stranding the Winchesters, Sam finds a crack in the rock-face, and everything changes.

A pit, and pain, and every broken thing inside Dean, discovered by angels.

Well, one angel. One powerless, exiled angel.

Dream House by breathingdestiel (26k)

Castiel Shurley and his best friend Dorothy Baum have decided to move in together. After his aunt assumes they are dating, she offers them money for the house, but only if they apply for a famous reality show ‘Dream House’. Since they could use the money and he doesn’t want to come out to his aunt, Castiel and Dorothy agree to fake date for the show. But things go wrong when Dorothy falls in love with the show’s producer and Castiel starts to develop feelings for one of the hosts.

Dean Winchester is a co-host of ‘Dream House’, along with his brother. Sam, being a realtor, finds a fixer-upper and Dean turns it into a perfect house for their clients. Even though he has what most people only dream about, Dean is incredibly lonely. He had bad experiences with relationships in the past and he doesn’t think he will ever meet anyone who can earn his trust. Until he meets Castiel.

First Gentleman Wanted by youaresunlight (31k)

President of the United States Castiel Novak is popular, charismatic, and knee-deep in campaigning for a second term. He’d be the ideal candidate if it weren’t for the fact that he hasn’t dated once while in political office. With his opponent’s relentless PR team calling him incapable of emotional commitment, Castiel’s staff decides to remedy the situation by finding their boss a fake, picture-perfect boyfriend. And when Dean Winchester enters the scene, he and Cas become America’s new favorite couple, except they’ve got a whole lot of history between them and complicated feelings to resolve.

Stand By Me by whelvenwings (31k)

Dean Winchester has been alone for a long, long time.

When he and Castiel happen to find each other - a couple of survivors in a world that’s been all but wiped clean - Dean’s looking for his brother; Castiel is looking for something to look for. They stick together, because neither of them much wants to be alone. They hate each other at first, of course. Dean hates Castiel for being weird and quiet and ironic and antagonistic and proud. Castiel hates Dean for being blunt and reckless and coarse, for drinking, for refusing to talk about how he feels and just pretending everything is fine. Most of all, they hate themselves and each other just for being alive. What right do they have to be alive? No one else seems to be.

But against his own will, Dean starts to notice things about Castiel that he likes. Starts to hope that Castiel might like him, too. And together, they start to fight for a world where they're both alive - and that's a good thing.

Happily Ever After by Castielslostwings (31k)

Police Officer Dean Winchester’s younger brother Sam and his best friend Charlie Bradbury have had enough of watching him pine over his best friend, roommate, and partner on the force, Castiel. Especially when it’s so obvious to everyone but the two of them that the feeling is mutual. Subtle hints and encouragement just aren’t cutting it anymore. Now, it’s time to get drastic. It’s time… for Disney.

From Sea to Shining Sea by MsCaptainWinchester (43k)

Dean and Castiel are only a few short months of college from reuniting after five long years on opposite coasts. It doesn’t seem like long, but then a virus breaks out close to Dean, and suddenly all their plans are ruined.

Now there are new plans. Dean is going to do everything he can to cross the country, picking up strays and a reputation for violence along the way. Cas is building a new colony of survivors, determined to stay still long enough for Dean to find him.

But without contact, neither knows if they will ever see the other again. Can Dean survive his cross-country road trip through zombie nation? And if he does, will Castiel still be there to meet him?

psalm 40:2 by unicornpoe (44k)

“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.”

OR Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

Forget-Me-Not Blues by noangelsinthegarrison (68k)

Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn’t be any happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t even mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organisational duties. The more the merrier, right?

Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

Cuffed to an Angel by mattzerella_sticks (72k)

Dean Winchester has a lot going for him: he's beloved by his students, he's finished writing his first book, and he's living comfortably in New York City. The only problem is... he's single. That wouldn't bother him much if his family wouldn't be visiting for the holidays. With cuffing season over, Dean has to face his family alone... or will he?

Castiel DiAngelo is a simple detective who hasn't really celebrated Christmas in over 9 years, holidays and family being a sore spot for him. But after taking Dean up on an offer, he finds that you can't really avoid the holidays.

Will these two be able to pull off a seminal holiday trope? Or will certain developments get in the way...

the cost of a thing by quiettewandering (74k)

16 months ago, Cas became human.

12 months ago, Cas left the bunker and a broken-hearted Dean behind.

Now they must work a case together, where married couples are dying mysterious deaths and the only way to earn the neighbors' trust is by pretending to be married. Slowly, Dean finds that he loves being in a relationship with Cas, fake or not, and Cas finds his loneliness retreating, despite the harsh reality looming right around the corner. As Dean and Cas navigate this fake, but all too real, relationship, can they find the monster that is on a mysteriously motivated killing spree before it’s too late?

a turn of the earth by microcomets (95k)

Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

Frigging fantastic.

(Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)

Lock and Key by tricia_16 (144k)

In a world where people get songs stuck in their heads whenever their soulmate is singing out loud, Castiel discovers that being soulmates with an aspiring singer/songwriter can be taxing, to say the least. Finding said soulmate, learning that he's the most attractive human being on the face of the earth, and then not being able to tell him he’s meant for you? It turns out that's even worse.

Not having a soulmate is just the icing on the cake on an already crappy life, if you ask Dean. He wants to sell his songs, but he's terrified of singing them himself. He wants to be a mechanic, but he's stuck selling parts, instead. He wants to kiss the ever loving fuck out of Sam's girlfriend's boss, too, but the guy's holding out for his soulmate, which of course means Dean doesn't even have a shot.

...right?

Patient Love by chaoticdean (164k)

Castiel Novak is 27 when he suddenly loses his twin brother Jimmy, and his whole world turns to ashes. How do you deal with losing half of yourself when your whole life always revolved around the two of you, like yin and yang and black and white? How do you deal with a broken soul and old demons looming over you with no one to hold you back anymore?

After 10 years as a Navy Special Warfare Operator and more than a dozen deployments in both Afghanistan and Iraq, a battlefield injury forces 28-year-old Chief Petty Officer Dean Winchester to choose between being stuck behind a desk for the rest of his career or going back to civil life. When he learns about his friend Jimmy’s death, Dean makes his way back to Kansas with his heart in his throat and broken pieces at his feet.

Things are already complicated and painful enough as it is, but when former lovers Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak meet again after 10 years of radio silence and a galaxy of wounds and scars solidly standing between them, it feels like both a curse and a blessing has been placed on them both. Is there any hope in putting back their broken pieces together after a decade, and how do you deal with grief and broken dreams?

To Build a Home by intothesilentland (383k)

Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.

Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.

God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.

On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

Happy reading!! Thank you to the brilliant authors who shared their fics with us (especially when a lot of these are so long!!) and I hope you enjoy reading them! If you have any other mutual pining fics that you love (or you wrote yourself!) please share them with me!

tag list under the cut! please ask to be added or removed :D

The London Séance Society by Sarah Penner

I finished the book today and I give it four stars. Lenna’s ongoing struggle with believing in the supernatural but pushing through it to get justice for her sister was an interesting read and as odd as Mr. Morley was, the book wouldn’t be the same without him. I found the book to be predictable in some parts but still found myself shocked at the plot twist at the end when the truth was revealed. I wish there was more Lenna/Vaudeline rather than mutual pining and hesitation because of the mystery they were trying to solve because it would have been nice to get some flashbacks of how things were when they first met.

okay so thanks to @lemon-wedges WILD idea about a GarthDean fake dating case and @vaudelin frankly hilarious and equally wild fic I cannot get the idea of couples pottery class at the couple's resort while fake dating out of my head

after couple's massage Sam declares he feels great actually i'm gonna go for a run you two can handle the next activity right Cas and Rowena kisses both on top of their head (for show?)

this activity is like co cooking or something they are making lunch. Cas is bad, Rowena is good but needs a drink from having to keep Cas from burning everything, Garth and Dean are both proficient enough and make a surprisingly good team. this makes Cas worse. luckily he doesn't need to eat. unluckily Rowena does.

after lunch is pottery class. Dean needs a minute to prepare himself for 20 reenactments of the pottery scene from Ghost, Garth waits with him. when they get there, Cas is workning on a mug but looks MISERABLE, and there are no other couples in his vicinity except for Rowena and Sam who are exactly the Ghost movie reenactment Dean was scared of and he kind of vomits in his mouth a little (as do everyone else in the room. Maybe not Garth).

shenanigans shenanigans Rowena declares she needs to wash off the clay Sam got in her hair and also eat something because lunch was disappointing but before she goes she helps Cas make his mug ever so slightly more pretty to make up for saying bad things about his coocking but also because she likes to flirt with angels and Dean promptly ends up with clay from the spinning table yeeted ? somewhere. someone is likely mad bout it.

but then she leaves and now Sam is left to his own devices and she has instructed him to make FOUR more small witching bowls but he is SO bad at it and eventually Cas has to guide him and Dean is a huge bitch to Sam while Cas helps him make a bowl and the entire ordeal means that Dean has to restart his mug like 3 times and can't get the handle he wants to add because he refuses to ask cas for help even though he desperately wants cas to hug him from behind and teach him to make pottery. Sam makes one bowl by himself and Rowena will be disappointed-proud of him. Cas makes the fourth bowl

meanwhile Garth is happily making serving trays that he says are for Dean's pies but are really for Bess. He carves her favourite flowers into one of them and pine brances into the other which will be for the holidays

#destiel #deangarth #samwena #can't 100% tell if this is actually funny or if i'm just overtired #disclaimer my knowledge of pottery starts and stops at 5th grade A&C in school #destiel prompt

Hi Kat! my new favorite destiel fic is "beyond this illusion" by tiaevans87. Do you know any similar fics? Thank you :)

So, there is a lot going on in that fic, Sam has established a hunter hub, Cas is back and human and of course Dean is trying and failing to not be weird in the wake of Cas' confession. I'm not really sure which one you were particularly after

Dean being weird

Goodnight Kisses – ImYourHoneyBee Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU. Dean was quick to tell Cas he loved him and wanted to be with him too when they got him back, although he wasn’t comfortable being with a guy, Cas’ compromise was that he wanted a goodnight kiss every night. It doesn’t take Dean too long to realise that he’s a lot more fine with Cas being dude-shaped than he thought.

Word Count: 9k Graphic Sexual Acts

Sunflower - Maxine (WinchesterPooja) Ao3

Set S15. Before they have a chance to take down Chuck, Jack brings Cas back from the empty. But the empty hadn’t been idle in the short amount of time they had Cas torturing him horribly and taking the memory of his happiest moment when they saw it was giving him comfort. Now while Sam and Jack are focusing on what they need to do to defeat Chuck, Dean is caring for Cas and coming to terms with what he said before his death.

Word Count: 29k No Sex

Dean being weird & Cas is human

tangled limbs – youreabadliar Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU. Since Cas came back from the empty Dean has been avoiding him. Sam has had enough so when he books motel a room on the way back from a hunt he books a separate one for Dean and Cas, insisting they talk, which Cas agrees with.

Word Count: 7k No Sex

You Will Greet Yourself Arriving - an_ardent_rain Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU. Things have been awkward since Cas came back from the empty. Which is probably why Sam is forcing Dean and Cas to go undercover as a couple in a neighbourhood that is being haunted. While they are there Dean may actually address what Cas said before he died as well as his drinking problem.

Word Count: 33k Graphic Sexual Acts

take the bones, begin anew – JustStandingHere Ao3

15x20 didn’t happen AU. Jack brought Cas back from the empty and left Amara to be God, and in the aftermath Cas decides to move out of the bunker, unsure of a new reality where Dean knows about Cas’ feelings. However when he sees the house that Cas bought needs fixing up, Dean offers to live with him while working on it. Along the way he deals with this knew knowledge and discovers some feelings of his own.

Word Count: 103k Graphic Sexual Acts

Sam sets up a hunter hub

(actually the one above also has a hunter hub)

Haunt Me Through the Night – KissingTinyFlowers Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU. Grieving and knowing that if he goes hunting he likely won’t come back alive, Dean leaves the bunker and its memories (and Sam) behind, ending up in Sioux Falls, where he learns Bobby left everything he owned to him and Sam. Giving the collection of cabins to Sam so he can set up a hunter network that Dean wants nothing to do with now that he’s retired, Dean rebuilds Bobby’s house to live in, while he figures out what to do with a life with no Cas in it. But maybe he won’t have to worry about that.

Word Count: 83k Graphic Sexual Acts

the home we make together – vaudelin Ao3

Set 15x20 didn’t happen AU. In the wake of everything, Jack reverted to being a toddler and Dean moved out to raise him, not comfortable with the hunter hub Sam set up in the bunker, especially when he was raising a non-human child. But finds enough clues to maybe get Cas back and succeeds, but Cas is sharing his body. Something that is kept a secret from everyone except Jack.

Word Count: 48k Graphic Sexual Acts

DESTIEL FIC RECOMMENDATIONS pt3

1st list (here) 2nd list (here)

As my obsession continues I’m back with another Destiel fanfic recommendations list.

Per usual most of them are top!Cas (in this house we only read explicit/mature fics). Long, smutty, sometimes fluffy, angsty stories I’ve read recently.

This time I decided to add a little blurb to each one for y’all (basically what I liked the most, what to expect etc)

(random order)

1. Redux by emmbrancsxx0, valleydean (emmbrancsxx0)

This one is amazing af. It’s like Supernatural in early seasons (when the writing was still good), but sometimes ever better. Each chapter is like an episode with a twisty plot and amazing writing. Every character is portrayed so accurately I feel like I’m reading actual ep of the show. Be warned, it’s a long one (387k words), however it’s brilliant and definitely worth checking it out. Domestic fluff and goofs between Cas and Dean are hilarious. And Cas is horny mofo who likes using his grace to fuck with Dean (I mean literally hehe)

2. Pizza Cats & Rainbow Flags by FriendofCarlotta

Love story of closeted librarian Dean and confident pastor Castiel. It has everything – denial, fluff, comedic moments, but in the end – it’s happy. Overcoming your insecurities and finally standing up for oneself. Lovely gesture brings them closer to each other to fight all the homophobic assholes of this world. (35k words)

3. Vibrato by tiamatv

Probably my favourite read in a long while. Devoured it in one sitting. Vampire!Cas is such a sweetheart, but a badass too. Author did an amazing job capturing the angst and fluff between them. It has some dark themes and it made me tear up at times. I would call this a perfectly balanced fic with a lot of hearty feels. Would give a lot more details, but don’t want to spoil the joy of finding them yourselves. DEFINITELY CHECK THIS ONE OUT 10/10, would recommend. (69k words)

4. In The Flesh? by beingforcedtolivebadwriting

Unexpected, but worthwhile read (it was on my “to read” tab for quite awhile, cause I wasn’t sure if I wanted to commit or not and at that point it was unfinished). It’s very entertaining and has a lot of comedic/jokey moments. Strange soul bond unite demon!Cas and hunter!Dean, so they start a weird friendship and kill monsters together. In the end, they fall for each other. Gotta say, both Dean and Cas are written a bit different than we know them on the show. Dean is more in touch with his feeling and Cas reminds me of Balthazar (his quirks, attitude, bratty behaviour). As I said, somewhat different, but for sure entertaining read. (90k words)

5. the home we make together by vaudelin

A fix-it fic. Read a lot of those after the finale. But this one intrigued me more than usual. After Cas died, Dean went out and built a life with baby Jack. Not getting any peace Dean decides to rescue Cas from the empty. It works, but they get stuck together managing parenting, their own feelings and everyone around them. It’s actually rather touching. Felt a lot when reading and still keep thinking about it. (48k words)

6. American Rebels by ValandraWrites

Uff. Very hot. Very nice (hehe). Rebel student Cas meets professor Dean. Usually I prefer other way around (prof Cas is everything… *salivating*) but this switch up brought me a lot of joy. Cas is confident and gives no fucks, while Dean is more shy and wants to stay in the closet. Their burgeoning relationship is rocky, however they help each other to figure things out while being uncertain of their future. (78k words)

7. No place I'd rather be by zation

Innocent dad Cas is sometimes all I need in this world. And this fic has him. Dean moves next door with his son Ben and soon befriends Cas, a single dad who has difficult relationships with his ex-wife. Dean ever so helpful lends a supporting hand and develops a crush on his straight neighbour. When secret is revealed Cas is stumped. But soon realises he feels more for Dean. Both sons develop a brotherly connection, which brings their dads together even more. (68k words)

8. The Memory of Love Always Remains by Rex_Writes

It’s quite sweet. Dean loses memory and doesn’t know how he ended up dating his crush. Lost of flashbacks and trying figure out what happened. Cas, now totally in love with Dean, is struggling, but persistent in his need to help Dean remember everything. Found this fic compelling and a great read when I was feeling down. (99k words)

That’s it. Shorter list than usual, but with the new job I find less time to search and find the gems. Also most of the fics I’m reading now are still incomplete, and I know people like them finished. However, I’ll be making another list when they complete, cause boy oh boy, some of these fics are out of this world.

Stay strong and stay reading! Peace out

P.S if you have any fics to suggest, send them my way
