Crossing Boundaries

Crossing Boundaries by Nariko_d Rating: Explicit Word count: 86k

Three years after serving time for a crime he didn’t commit, Castiel is finally living a quiet and normal life with his husband, Balthazar. His life, though, is thrown for a loop when he opens the door one day to find his ex-cellmate, Dean Winchester, standing on his doorstep. As he becomes closer again to the man who sheltered him from the horrors of prison, his marriage starts to suffer, and Castiel finds himself struggling to keep Dean in his life without risking his husband. But in the process, Castiel starts to learn a few things about what he really wants in life, and realizes the choices he has to make to truly be happy.

When Castiel goes to prison for something he didn’t do, he finds solace and protection in Dean’s arms. The two grow closer and with time, even without realizing, Castiel falls for Dean.

That all changes when Castiel gets out and his boyfriend Balthazar is right there waiting for him and helping him settle into a world that feels alien to Castiel after prison.

With time, he convinces himself that what he had with Dean was nothing but two people forced to rely on each other to survive in prison, nothing more than that.

That’s when Dean shows up at his doorstep, ready to fight for Castiel. Seems easy enough, if only Castiel would just admit he missed Dean and that his heart has never stopped being his. Of course, with Dean and Cas, things are never that easy, and it will take some angst, several relationships with others, and a few tears until our boys can have their happily ever after.

love the work you do here🫡 do you know of fics where cas is like, upfront about his attraction to dean/dean thinks cas can’t be into him sexually but cas is very nonchalant about saying otherwise ? Thank you!!

Ahhhh, the old 'of course I find you sexually attractive Dean' vs 'angels don't feel that way especially about me' gambit. It is obviously easier to find fic where Cas is 100% done with Dean thinking this but still cool.

Supernaturally Enchanted

Supernaturally Enchanted by Annehiggins Rating: Mature Word count: 33k

Dean falls into the land of Angelasia. There he meets a handsome prince who may be his True Love – not that he believes in that crap. An AR set toward the end of a very different second season.

Do you enjoy canon verse fic as well as AU with a side of fairy tale? Then you’re in for a treat because this fic has the best of both worlds.

When the fic begins, Angelasia is in danger – if no one from the line of succession is able to find their happy ending, all the magic in the kingom will fade and everyone will be doomed to a gloomy destiny.

Castiel should have found his happiness already as the next in line to the throne. But at almost 30, he hasn’t found his true love yet and has long ago lost any hope of ever finding the one.

That’s when the Dean we know from canon, thanks to an encounter with witches gone wrong, finds himself transported from the world of Supernatural we know to this fairy tale land.

From then on, it’s such a delight to see all these fairy tale tropes and fables we know from childhood come to life as Dean tries to navigate this knew world while trying to find his way back to his reality.

Dean and Cas meet after a brave rescue where swords come to play, and even the Impala turned into a horse has a role, and from then on, like a good ol’ fairy tale, they instantly fall for each other.

It’s so enjoyable to see them being so soft and caring together. This story is adorable and it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face by the end of it.

The Ghosts of Blackthorn Hall

The Ghosts of Blackthorn Hall by linoresearch Rating: Explicit Word count: 94k

In 1843 Castiel Milton leaves his life of quiet faith and duty to take up employment as tutor to the young ward of one Mr Dean Winchester, at Blackthorn Hall. Set deep among the Yorkshire moors, Blackthorn is a place of mysteries – a wild place, where pale faces appear at the windows, and mad women laugh in the night. Castiel is drawn to the enigmatic Master of Blackthorn and they form an attachment neither of them expected. But there are secrets hidden behind Blackthorn's stone walls, truths that threaten to destroy their fragile happiness, as they are forced to confront the ghosts of their past. This is a Jane Eyre/SPN fusion AU, written for the Dean/Castiel Big Bang 2012.

Fans of gothic horror look no further because I have the perfect fic for you! The author took inspiration from Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë and has managed to create the perfect amalgamation of historical gothic romance and Supernatural canon. This story combines creepy vibes with the desperate, unstoppable love between our two protagonists.

Castiel arrives at Blackthorn Hall to be young Ben's tutor and quickly starts hearing stories of the owner and master of the old house. Dean Winchester is a constant, alluring presence even though physically he is away on a business trip with his brother, Sam. But not for long. And from the moment he steps back into the house, Castiel can't help but feel drawn to him and all the mysteries locked inside Blackthorne Hall. With Ghosts of past and present haunting them, Castiel and Dean will have to overcome many challenges to be together, and maybe even death.

Originally belly dancers were not supposed to be stick thin they needed to have pudge and rolls and just body because thats what makes the dancing all the movement and vibrations and rolling are supposed to be there to enhance the softness of the feminine figure.

i watch black and white (arabic) movies with belly dancers and they all look closer to this, hell if i ever find myself in a belly dancing show the serious ones will always have beautiful rolls and soft bodies, because belly dancing was never about the movements its self but about how the movements serve the body thats why mindless vigorous sexual shaking never actually looks apealing. Seriously it was an art a Performance art but then outsiders came in and saw it as purely sexual because of thier "exotic" kinks, sad.

which is why i hate it when i see foreigners dancing it without minding that its an art, cause they almost always turn it into aerobics just sharp overly done movements no thought or rhythm behind it no fun just extreme muscle control like its a sport only.

but the lovely person in the tiktok is one of the first ones i see dancing correctly just fun performance and movements that are meant to show how beautiful she and her body is (this is all in a non sexual way its like how the Statue of Aphrodite is supposed to show how beautiful the feminine body of 1000000's of women celebrating it instead of showing and overly sexualized ver. of it)

this belly dancer is honestly the perfect belly dancer in my eyes like someone in the tagsaid s tier dancer! i want to watch her for 50 hours straight cause she is doing it right the most right i've ever seen actually. (I hope this makes any kind of sense lol ) also i FUCKING love the design of the suit the colors are so pretty!!!

Destiel fic recs

Another round of brainrot. I hope they never fix what's wrong with me.

Beggars Would Ride by Tiamatv (Explicit, 118k)

You had me at Aladdin AU. When Dean Winchester is caught stealing, he's given one chance for freedom. Go into the Cave of Wonders, grab the amulet, and get out. Things don't go as planned. Now he's got a moody ancient genie to contend with. But maybe he can use up two of his wishes and then grant the genie his wish: to be free. What could go wrong?

This fic is an absolutely delight. I laughed so hard, especially at the fun ways Tiamatv played with the SPN canon and the Disney movies. But beyond the humor is some really fantastic world building and a beautiful story about finding your way when you feel trapped by life.

Genie Cas is very cute and grumpy and sassy, and it's fun to watch him start to care. And Dean has so much heart it will make you ache. Sam and Jess are disgustingly cute but both are also whip smart and fun. And Jo (Jess’ sister in this) is the knife girl of my dreams.

This one is hard to put down.

Tourbillon Dreams by kayliemalinza @kayliemalinza (Mature, 40k)

Dean uses Bobby's life insurance proceeds to buy a hoarders house stuffed to the brim with cursed and haunted objects. But when he finds a clock that also happens to be an angel, things take an unexpected turn.

It sounds cracky and there is some delightful humor, but this fic packs a beautiful emotional punch. Dean is in his peak caretaking, competency mode and Clockstiel is adorable and entranced with Dean in a way that is just immensely readable.

There is something starkly gorgeous about the way Dean and Cas are physically so different and yet they find each other in meaningful and beautiful ways.

Love Is a Meat Loaf Song by followyourenergy @followyourenergy (Explicit, 68k)

A reimagining of canon where Dean is never saved and becomes a demon. He's bored waiting for the apocalypse when he happens upon a certain blue eyed seraph and they decide to work together.

This fic has all the delightful sassiness you expect of Demon!Dean and especially when he spends time with his frenemy, Meg. It also has just absolutely amazing angel lore and a deep dive into Cas and his trauma. All of this is wrapped up in a soft love story about two beings finding each other and seeing each other and breaking down each other's walls.

It's the entire package of funny, sincere and romantic.

Where there is Darkness by quiettewandering @wanderingcas (Explicit, 91k)

I may have popped this on at some point when it was a WIP but I have to renew my recommendation if so. Dean and Sam are lighthouse keepers, but Dean keeps driving off the third member of their team until Cas shows up. But will they be able to overcome their past to carve out happiness?

This Dean and Cas are so delicious. I am deeply fond of them both. They are fighting against so much baggage and yet they find in each other something so special. Sammy is also perfectly oblivious in the best way. It's hard to explain what makes this fic special except that it is so engrossing, you will be slamming next chapter

Valley of God by ValleyDean @valleydean (Mature, 145k)

I know. I KNOW. The MCD tag is daunting in a fic like this but I promise that while it is accurate, then ending is softer than you think and it's really the way it should end.

So there are a few things about this fic that make it absolutely delicious. First, it really delves into Cas’ trauma in a really gorgeous way. We don’t have enough fics that look at his angel trauma (we can't for me tbh) and this one uses a religious cult situation to delve into it. Second, Dean and Cas in this fic are just so messy and delightful. Dean wants to believe that Cas is good so badly. Cas wants to protect Dean the same way. It's crunchy. Finally, the atmosphere is amazing. It's creepy. It gets under your skin.

Is it dark? Absolutely. But it's also amazing.

The Darkest Sunshine by StarlightOfFandoms @starlightoffandoms (Explicit, 35k)

If murder husbands is your thing, this one is a delight of a fic. Dean Winchester is the Righteous Man serial killer, a notorious murderer who goes after monsters (in human form). People who are guilty of abhorrent crimes. But when he goes after Cas, a professor believed to have murdered several students, he discovers an innocent man being framed. Together with Cas and his team, Dean decides to find the real killer. He just has to pretend to be Cas’ boyfriend until they succeed.

The fake dating trope in a murder husbands fic was a total delight. So was the fact that Dean doesn't work alone and has a full support system to go after the worst of the worst. It's an intriguing concept done really well. Dean in this fic is an interesting blend of sociopathic tendencies, a strong sense of justice, and a willingness to do anything for those he is loyal to. Cas is intrigued by Dean and accepts him as he is. It's a really great combination.

A Weed In Any Other Place by VioletHaze @scones-and-texting-and-murder (Explicit, 63k)

On the other end of the spectrum is this fluffy rom com. There is some angst, but most of it is soft, sweet falling in love along with supportive friends and family.

Cas is a writer. Well, Cas had a book published and now he's desperately trying to write his second while convincing himself the first was probably just a fluke. Writers block is a bitch. That is until his car breaks down and he ends up at a little shop called Winchester and Son. By some weird trick of fate, it's exactly what he needs. He has the most productive day in years sitting in their waiting room. So he comes back, and keeps coming back. The extremely cute mechanic with green eyes doesn't hurt.

Cas is a disaster at social situations in a relatable way. Dean is struggling to put away some bad lessons from his dad so that he can find what he wants instead of what his father pushed on him. Both have a lovely support system. Charlie, in particular, makes me deeply fond in this fic.

i like your shoelaces (thanks! i stole them from the president) by you-cant-spell-subtext-without (ayreisha) @you-cant-spell-subtext-without (Explicit, WIP, 33k so far)

My lovely Tumblr wife is back at it, writing the most delightfully chaotic fic based on Misha's prompt awhile back for President Cas and Fast Food Janitorial Staff Dean Winchester. It's a Cinderella story and in equal parts hilarious and adorable. Also it is a Dean-saster/Cas-tastrophe pairing which is always fun plus there's a 2 person love triangle situation.

Dean's stuck in a miserable job with his only escape being his love of How I Met Your Mother and the Tumblr blog he devotes to the fandom. But when a handsome man walks in one night after hours, things heat up. Too bad the man in question is actually the President.

It's a romp and a love letter to fandom.

@thehellersseals

*the cops who are convinced the man before them is Jimmy Novak who went missing a decade ago*:

Jimmy Novak went missing because he got gay married to the famous serial killer Dean Winchester??

butterflyslinky

Actually, I have to reblog this again because Cas used the name "Jimmy Novak" at least twice in the show.

Once to try and take his daughter out of a group home, where he was denied and six hours later, she broke out and wasn't heard from until two years later when she's suddenly living in South Dakota with the sheriff.

And once to rent a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a pregnant presidential aide who went missing shortly after the Winchesters tried to kill the president. Said aide was never heard from again and her baby was never found.

So really, Jimmy Novak disappeared to join a kidnapping ring. And get gay married to the famous dead serial killer Dean Winchester.

eddiemunsonsmiddlefingers

Y'all are forgetting the time he decided he was God and laid waste to politicians and church gatherings alike. Some of that shit was on television, so "Jimmy" is a famous mass murder as well!

The Stars Will Remember

fic by @casblackfeathers & art by @diminuel

Being a hunter was all Dean knew ever since his mother had been killed by a demon when he was four. Hunting, offing monsters, and then jumping to the next case was his life. Then he met the most alluring and breathtaking omega he had ever seen and spent the next five years loving the hell out of Cas, their life together filled with the domestic lovey-dovey stuff Dean had never thought he would dig so much. When a simple salt-and-burn goes sideways, it ends up with Cas’ memories stolen from him. Dean is left to pick up the pieces of the life they built together, his ‘make it up as he goes’ strategy to prove to his mate that Dean’s still worth a damn, his only chance at getting Cas back. He’s done a shitty-ass job at keeping Cas safe before, but he will pull out all the stops now to woo his mate again and stir the memories Dean knows are still there buried deep inside Cas’ mind.
