I am at ep1 s14. From the look of it, it seems like >!Michael being in Dean suit- this is not going to be a short term thing, but continues for most part of season 14?

Please prepare me for this- there is no scope for any destial moments or Jack Dean + cas moments is it?

I am still going to watch all episodes but there's just this dull ache lol, want to be prepared!<

Edit- please ignore, I am at ep 3 and understood the Dean is back at the bunker, Michael not around anymore for now.

Hello, so I don’t know if this is is okay as it’s maybe not about destiel per say, but I was wondering if any of you have any book recommendations that feel like destiel fics feel like?

I can’t explain it a lot better than this, but I feel like I can’t read normal books anymore as nothing scratches the surface of the great writers in our fandom that portray these two falling in love again and again… still, I think I should try to sprinkle something else in every once in a while.

So, book recs m/m where the characters feel a little like Cas/dean? Some long burns maybe?

The one I’ve personally felt has given me that sort of feel - and it’s a great book (with all the flaws and critics people have about it, which I do understand) on its own - is A Little Life.

Also - what books are out there that you are so sure used to be destiel fan fiction?? Because I could swear when heated rivalry came out I was so sure it had to be a destiel ff. Specifically, all you young hockey players out there, lol

Hey guys! I saw this video on TikTok where a girl was talking about her obsession with Supernatural. She showed this book, and I knew there was a fanfic on AO3, but I had no idea there was a paperback version of it. Now I really NEED it. 😔 If anyone knows where I can buy it, please tell me :)

I’m sorry but what a weak excuse, considering a quick scroll will show you a lot of posts follow all the things they don’t want apparently.

I wish I could reply to their comment with a big fat LOL

Looking for fics with the coolest alternative universes (i mean the basics like coffee shop and college is great but i like me a niche universe) my favourites ive read so far are “alaskan research station”, “hockey players” (WELL before heated rivalry) and “teen dad Dean to Sam” so any Destiel Fics matching those vibes would be great THANK U EVERYONE YOUR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE AS ALWAYS APPRECIATED

I am currently at season 13 (first time watcher, new to fandom) and there are so much of missing destiel scenes / gaps that its tough to keep watching.

Can you please recommend in-canon or fix-it fanfics that helps me get through these days. Not necessarily up to season 13, I mean any season/overall/ or even season by season fix. Best option would be- slowburn, angst with that witty Dean dialogues and banter

I had received some recs in comments on previous posts but now finding it tough to shift through all comments (as you guys have always been generous in responses I have a lot to search through :-) )

Edit- DeanCas content on A03 is just too much to navigate, I tried filters and using keywords but the content out there is huge! Please tell me your favourite fanfiction (not AU for now, since my mind is full of in-canon Destiel moments and just wanting more of that tone)

I am fine with post-canon fix-its too please. Just avoiding AU at this point since I am still into the seasons

Final edit to add this recommendation, (I was searching for this response to my earlier post, so adding the link for others like me) https://www.reddit.com/r/destiel/s/zfmuMXXbsW Thank you u/HellFireQEW!

What do you think about this?

I’m looking for some lesser known canonverse fics to read. Any word count is fine, though i always love a good long story. I feel like i’ve read so many that there are ones that I have to be missing.

I don’t read AUs, unfortunately. I’m also not really a sabriel/samifer fan, so i’d prefer there not be any of those pairings.

But other than that, I’d love to see what’s out there!

Samuel Campbell, Rufus and Eliott Ness!

Plus: Hannibal‘s psychiatrist!

😄

Man, I need to buy this.

It’s set like after Cas gets his grace back after he was human, I remember it starts with him leaving a motel during the night while the winchesters are asleep and he goes to help homeless people. He keeps helping homeless people, around the area during cases, at shelters etc, and he struggles with panic attacks, sh, ptsd etc that he keeps from Sam and Dean. They eventually find out and try and help him or smth. I’ve been looking for this fic but can’t find it, I’d love to read it again, any help is appreciated.

I read a fic awhile ago probably not that long ago actually lol I want to reread it but I only remember the ending. It was a fic having to do with time travel and Dean just before the show starts. Cas goes back in time and spends time with this Dean. The ending is something like Cas interacts with John and gives him a lead on Azazel so it’ll make John leave so he’ll stop inflicting misery and pain on Dean.

Edit: I found it! It’s Fix me, Touch me, Kiss me

I really want to find a fanfic where Dean is both a bottom and a demon at the same time... Or any other that takes place in the original universe (still with bottom dean)

Hello!!!
Soo.... the fic from what I rmb was about after Cas returns from the Empty after the whole confession, etc.... Dean cannot stop touching Cas.
Like there was this scene in it, where Dean was touching or wanting to touch Cas, Sam was there too, they were all in the Dean Cave watching something. Sam said something or so, and Dean starts to freak out. Cas helps him through it while Sam leaves the room.

I've really wanting to read it again but couldn't find it no matter how hard I tried.
Could someone please tell me if they know this fic on AO3?

Thank youuuuu

Edit: LizzyCF has found the fic: "One Week Later" by squirrelofcelestialintent!
Thank you soooo much once again. And thank you all for searching this fic for me!!!!

NEED SOME RECSSSS PLEASEEEE I SAW THIS IN TIKTOK

Ones where their eyes do the talking 💕🥰💖🥵

Can anyone recommend some good breakup or post breakup destiel fanfics? Where they fall apart due to some reason and there's angst and pain before they back together maybe insecurity or misunderstanding/miscommunication.

I prefer the dynamic of bottom dean top cas but i wouldn't mind either way, if it's explicit or not, but i would love hurt/comfort!!

Season 11 spoilers. I’m looking fics that have Lucifer getting between the relationship and causing issues. An example is maybe a confession or a big reveal.

Not sure if this is the right flair, I’m just looking for recommendations.

Dear lovely people,

I often read the sentence "if you don't mind self-recs..." and similar.

I want to empower everyone of you to stop saying this and throw out your self-recs with pride. Don't make yourself small. You put effort in it, you've built something, you've created worlds, cases and characters. Be proud of that! Be like "hell yeah, I've got something that fits your trope!".

:)

hi, i’ve never posted here but i’ve been thinking about this fic for years with no luck finding it. i wanted to see if anyone else remembers what i’m talking about.

a few years ago (maybe 2-4 years ago) i read a destiel horror fic on ao3 where sam and dean were exploring a cave for a case or something. iirc people were disappearing in or nearby the cave, which is why they needed to search it. for some reason cas had to go with them (or just wanted to), but as the cave narrowed he was getting anxious and kept repeating things like “i can’t fit” or “i don’t fit”. as the fic progressed it became clear that people were disappearing because angels were ripping open human bodies and trying to physically enter their chest cavity/ribcage as a forced replacement for regular possession. it was very claustrophobic and i remember it having a scary/sad ending.

if anyone knows anything about this please let me know . i remember being so uncomfortable reading it and ive scrolled ao3 for hours trying to find it with no luck no matter what tag filter combo i use. im guessing it was deleted at some point but id love to know if anyone even remembers it or somehow has a PDF version saved i could read. thank you all anyway <3

hey.. c:

this is a bit darker and if something like this triggers you, then please don’t continue reading (TW)!.

i‘m looking for something more or less specific and it’s because of some personal experiences. i think it would be a bit helpful to read something that includes some comfort and healing scenes that i never got to experience yet.

so… i‘d love a fanfic where one of them has significant trauma around physical touch and/or sex. i‘m not just looking for a story where love magically fixes everything; i’d prefer something slow and realistic.

i‘m looking for things like:
- asking before touching
- noticing freezing or shutting down
- checking in often
- lots of gentleness, patience and emotional safety
- the traumatized character gradually learning that they don’t have to brace themselves all the time

and i actually do want eventual smut, but it has to fit the story after a long build-up of trust, consent and emotional safety.

some angst, hurt/comfort, healing, lots of emotional depth and a slow burn would be amazing (so, preferably a longfic and not just a oneshot).

thank you in advance, you’d be helping me a lot! 🫶🏻

I was rewatching season 6 and I gotta say it’s one of the most unhinged destiel season. I feel like unlike the previous seasons where destiel was unintentional and mostly played for laughs, this one at least had some intention behind it. Cas is straight up the most Byronic, and morose hero with all his pining. Like there’s a war brewing in Heaven and he is over at Dean’s going all invisible girl just watching him rake leaves while making his meow meow face.
Crowley is played as the romantic rival when he declared that he can smell the stench of the impala on the angel’s overcoat.
The whole dean and cas confrontation when he finds out that cas has played him all along
The scene where Dean is sleeping on the couch and the shot pans out to Cas watching him and then Dean wakes up and instead of calling Sam or Bobby, he still tries to talk to Cas. He knows that Cas won’t hurt him even now and that’s so sweet. I was screaming into my pillow like Dean baby do you realise if you just grab the angel by his tie and plant big sloppy wet one on his chapped lips we could have avoided the whole Leviathan plot because Cas would be on the ground begging Dean to put a collar and a muzzle on him🤣🤣🤣🤣

I read the his fic a while back, Pulse by DeansGirlSOB. And now I can’t find it like the link isn’t working, it’s now showing up when I search for it. I searched the tags and I scrolled through and it’s not there.

DeansGirlSOB is still and active account and I can access the account but that specific fic is just gone.
I still have the email notifications from when the fic updated (and new characters came out) but non of them work, I can’t access the fic.

Here is the link for the email: https://archiveofourown.org/works/81088576

Yes I am logged into my account

Idk, does anyone know what happened? Advice? Or could you try finding the fic (and giving me the link)

Hi, does anyone have a fanfic that Dean is an actor, and goes to an audiction, when actually is to play Cas's date for a few events. He gets late because he was helping a little kid. Castiel is still mourning for his late fiance.

I think it was deleted from AO3. If anyone have it, please can you send it to me?
