Oh, is Bats having trouble sleeping because of… @distort-opia's zine contribution?? Maybe he's been interacting way too much with the multiverse— or not nearly enough.

Fic Preview Text:
The fingers burrowing into Bruce’s skin hurt so badly that he almost misses Joker’s reappearance. The dead are holding him down at his feet, having carried him there like a bed of ants, cackling all the while.
Bruce can’t move. They won’t let him. So he can only gasp when Joker gets on his knees and crawls over his body, straddling him with hands firmly planted on Bruce’s chest. Right over the Bat symbol, right where Bruce’s heart is frantically shooting agony into his veins.
Joker shines like a lantern against the visceral browns and greys of the people he’s killed. Beautiful and lethally colorful, like a carnivorous plant.
“Shhh, steady,” he shushes gently from above, and it’s so utterly wrong it frightens Bruce more than anything else. “Steady, dear.”
I am here to expose myself and share my ao3 bookmarks! this is mostly for myself so i can remember what these fics are. But i also would like to recommend them to anyone who's interested.
I've divided them into 3 categories and will be color coded:
super sad fics that are mostly just depressing
mostly smut lol
fics that are a good mix of a bit of smut but mostly plot heavy (or i dont remember)
also most of these are canon divergence or in universe for supernatural, etc. so if you're looking for AU's, im not gonna be a good source for that. not hate to AU's or anything, just not my thing for fics❤️
ok, that's it,
enjoy!

Rating: Explicit
Summary:
Scrambling to his knees Castiel hugs back, burying his face in Dean’s neck, breath coming in fast little pants against his skin. Dean closes his eyes and just breathes him in, barely able to believe that this is real. At any other time in his life, closing his eyes against a threat like Death would be an inexcusable lapse in his hunter’s judgement. Right now, he doesn’t give a single fuck. Death can reap him for all he cares, he’ll die knowing Cas is going to be ok. Alive.
“I will see you soon, Dean,” Death tells him, that deliberate voice of his soft enough not to intrude on the intimacy of the moment, “Raincheck on that grilled cheese.”
“Thank you,” Dean croaks, propping his chin up on Cas’s shoulder, unmindful of the tears trickling down his cheeks, “Thank you.”
After Death brings Cas and Eileen back, the four of them hit the road with Miracle, driving around the country opening decommissioned Men of Letters chapterhouses to be used by hunters while trying to give a human perspective on Jack's plan to restructure the afterlife system. Meanwhile, Dean copes with being a flustered lump of a man because somewhere along the way, Castiel learned how to flirt.

“Oh yeah, there might have been some small details I forgot to mention about the bond,” Gabriel teased.
“What kind of details?” Dean growled uneasily.
“Oh just the Holy Matrimony kind,” Gabriel smirked.
-
When Cas's grace is running out for the second time, the Winchester brothers enlist the help of a certain archangel to save his life. Gabriel comes up with the perfect solution: Dean and Cas bond. This seems like a great plan until Dean discovers too late what the bond really means. Gabriel informs him, much to his delight, that he is now Angel Married to Cas with no way of reversal. Little does Dean know, Gabriel is messing with him and the bond isn't a marriage at all. Cue a bunch of embarrassing misunderstandings as Dean struggles with his new "marriage" to Cas.

“As for your current predicament… there may be something I can do to help.” Cas looks hesitant even as he says it, casting his eyes sidelong at Dean.
Dean turns to him. “What d’you mean?”
Castiel’s lips press into a thin line, all of the jovial glint gone from his eyes. “PTSD and trauma can alter pathways and connections in your brain, in a very physical way. Because these changes are physical… it may be possible to… heal them, in a sense.”
“Heal my brain?” Dean shoots back incredulously.

Series: Part 1 of The Soul Burns
Summary:
Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up, but Sam’s there, and he’d start asking questions if he left the call alone. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.
“Hi, Jody,” Sam says.
“Howdy, boys.” She greets them and begins talking about a case she’s asking them to take over. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun or knife in months, not since their last hunt.
Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”
Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”
Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”
Cas is alive, and Dean is figuring out what he should do about that when they learn Cas's accidental jailbreak broke The Empty, letting out most of its occupants. Now that every villain they have ever fought is back, Team Free Will 3.0 has their work cut out for them.

Summary:
All Dean Winchester knows is repression. At no time in his life has he ever felt safe to explore his attraction to other men. He has all but convinced himself that it doesn't exist--that heterosexuality is the only option. But try to deny it as he might, Castiel's presence in the bunker is a mounting reminder that he will never be the man his father wanted him to be. He doesn't know how much longer he can keep the charade…or even if he wants to anymore.

Summary:
Castiel made dying for Dean Winchester look easy.
Dean knows how to die for someone. Dean knows how to lay down his life for those he cares about, to say yes in their place, to sacrifice himself in the moment to save the day. To save someone. To save Sam, Mary, John, Jack.
Cas.
And for all his knowledge about how to die, he has. While memories of the Pit remain locked in a distant corner of his mind, he’ll never forget the sacrifice he made for Sam, for the good of the world. Willingly. Happily. Dean remembers every death. How each one he welcomed if it made the difference, saved family, people. Dean Winchester would sacrifice himself ten times over for family, or the world, if it meant they would make it through in his stead. Dying for someone was easy to Dean.
But Dean Winchester didn’t know how to be saved. Not when Sam offered up his life, not when anyone else did. Dean didn’t know how to keep on living so that sacrifice wasn’t all for nothing. How in the hell is he supposed to do that? To accept that?
He doesn't.

Summary:
Cas was resurrected. Dean told Cas that he loves him, that he can have everything he wanted, but Cas has to stay with him. Cas promised that he would. The thing is, he didn’t realize how literal Dean was being.
Now, Cas works on rebuilding Heaven with the angels, while he builds a new life with Dean. Neither of those things are as easy as Cas would have liked.
*
“Angels have been interfering for too long,” Jack insists. “Humanity deserves some peace, and I intend to give it to them.”
“Then why did Cas go back?” Anna demands.
“That doesn’t matter,” Cas says, willing Anna to just let it go.
“Yes it does!” she argues instead.
“And Heaven deserves some peace too!” Jack continues, raising his voice. “That won’t happen if we’re getting into conflicts on Earth.”
“Then why does Cas get to go back and I don’t?”
“That’s different,” Jack says. Cas cringes.
“Why, because it’s the Winchesters?” Anna asks. “The old God is dead, why are they still the centre of the universe?”
“Because it’s Dean,” Cas says.
“And?!”
“And I love him!”
"It's still not fair. You can't set up rules and exceptions and call Heaven free."

Chuck has been defeated, and Dean and Sam are finally free. Freedom is all Dean wanted, or so he thought, but life has felt like a chore lately. Might have something to do with the fact that Cas is up in Heaven and hasn’t so much as stopped by to say hello since Jack busted him out of the Empty.
Everything changes when sinkholes begin to appear all over the globe and the air is awash with whispers of a strange, powerful entity. It turns out that in rearranging the afterlife, Jack and Cas have woken something that should never have been woken. And, according to a book of prophecy in the Men of Letters library, it’s up to Dean and Cas to sort it out… together.
Should be fine, right?

Summary:
Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.
No matter the cost.
Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.
Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.
Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

Summary:
Cas didn’t hear his prayer.
It shouldn’t be so surprising, and Dean supposes he has no right to feel so dejected. Cas’s powers have been failing - not that Dean has asked him about it - and they’ve barely spoken in weeks. The schism between them is widening, and he can’t bring himself to bridge that gap. So Dean soldiers on as he always does, keeps his head down and his gun loaded, and focuses his attention on saving Chuck.
But when the nightmares start, Dean has no choice but to confront his own demons and face the possibility of losing the one thing he’s truly wanted.

The man was dead, and it was wrong.
A lot can happen in a day. A hunt leaves Dean broken, bleeding and clinging to life. In the days that follow, he finds his typical life of mundane monster-hunting turned on its head, as he is trailed by blue lights and radio static. To make matters worse he worries he might be becoming the very thing he's spent his life hunting.
Castiel is an angel with a mission. He needs to keep Dean alive, a task which is more difficult than he had anticipated. To rub salt in the wound, he might be falling from grace. Angels aren't meant to have human emotions but he is beginning to want things.

Summary:
Dean was intimately familiar with guilt. It came along with hunting, especially when it wasn't a clean cut monster kill and innocents got involved. But this guilt was unlike anything he'd ever dealt with before.
When Cas died in the Bunker's library, an angel blade in his chest and the Mark screaming in Dean's ears, the guilt drove him into hiding. He disappeared and isolated himself like an animal secluding itself for death.
He makes a prison of nature for himself in the woods and expects to never see another soul again.
But fate has other plans, plans that include Castiel.
Dean accidentally kills Castiel, and is tormented by grief and guilt afterwards. Dean becomes convinced Cas still exists somehow, and that he will be resurrected; Sam's not so sure, but is determined to help his grief-stricken brother recover. Meanwhile the Darkness is eating away at Creation, and soon both brothers realize they may have to embark on their longest and strangest journey yet. This time they might not come back. Will they have to fight their last battle without Castiel?

Summary:
In which Amara doesn't bring back Mary, she brings back John Winchester.
Dean is uncertain what Amara's meaning is when she brings John back, and struggles with coming to terms with the new family dynamic. Sam tries harder to keep the peace than he used to, and Cas does not get along with John at all- though he tries. Testosterone is at an all-time high as these four men struggle to coexist in the hunting world with very different ideologies.
We explore just how much the brothers have changed in the ten years without their father's guidance, the trauma they still haven't resolved, and the feelings that Dean and Cas hold for one another despite the very real and new barrier that is John.

Canon-divergent from 12.08
After Sam and Dean are arrested, Castiel is left alone and scrambling to find them. He knows they’re locked away in a government facility, and he’s still able to hear their prayers, but no matter how he tries Castiel can’t seem to track them. He chases leads and even attempts to hunt on his own, but Mary is AWOL, Crowley refuses to help, and Castiel’s options are running out.
Weeks pass, Castiel’s hope dwindles, and through it all Dean prays, keeping them connected. His voice is comforting, frustrating, and occasionally annoying, but in his solitude Castiel comes to cherish it. But then one day, without warning, Dean stops praying, and Castiel is forced to confront some uncomfortable truths about his feelings.

Cas stretches out in the backseat while Dean takes up the front, and Dean’s pretty devoted to gritting his teeth until he can catch an hour or two of sleep, but sleep won’t take, and it just doesn’t take long at all for him to start shivering despite the layers.
After maybe half an hour of shivering, he hears rustling behind him, picks himself up by the elbows to peer over the back of the front bench, and sees Cas shedding clothes.
“… what are you doing?”
“I am preparing to share body heat with you,” Cas answers flatly, already out of his coat and jacket, unbuttoning his collared shirt and shrugging it off; his shoulders and arms look immense in the thin undershirt beneath.
“W-We won’t be doing that—”

Summary:
“Cas, baby. We all have things we like, and I like this. There’s nothing wrong with it, please just ask me.”
“Nothing wrong with it? It’s blasphemous, Dean. Angelkind would strike me down for even fantasizing about having a human call me their God.”
“Most of the things you do to me are blasphemous, Cas. It’s not that big of a deal, it’s just a kink. We all have weird shit we like, and I wouldn’t even qualify this as weird. It’s a little… out there, but it’s fucking hot.” Dean turned his head to drag his lips over Cas’s stubbled jaw. He nipped lightly at the skin there, soothing each bite with a swipe of his tongue. “If any angel deserves that title, it’s you."

Summary:
“Fuck, I can’t believe that, I can’t…you really wanted to fuck me.”
Cas doesn’t say anything and Dean glances through his fingers, just to be meet with the sight of an angel shifting in his seat, staring at him with these stupid blue eyes, but now they are…fuck, they are darker, the pupils blown and Dean’s throat is suddenly very dry. He sits upright like a lightning bolt has hit him.
“You…you still want to fuck me”, he whispers.
---
It's their last night on earth and finally Dean and Castiel allow themselves to give in to what has been between them for years now. It doesn't matter if that would complicate things between them. They're gonna die anyway, right?
Until they don't.

Summary:
Dean was in trouble.
After idiotically flirting with a witness to get some info on a hunt, Dean had found himself in his first real couple fight with Cas. Luckily, he had a plan—something guaranteed to prove that Cas was the only one he’d ever have eyes for.
Or, Dean buys panties with Cas’s name bedazzled on the back, and Cas tries to contain himself in the produce aisle.
Under Lock and Key (10215 words) by Trenchcoat_Paradigm
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Supernatural (TV 2005)
Rating: Explicit
Summary:
He thought he was a damn genius when the inspiration struck him, noticing the glint of metal while rearranging Babys’ weapon’s arsenal. But now, with every step he took walking from the garage, the doubt started to seep in.
The sex was a fairly new dynamic to their relationship but now Dean had gotten a taste, he was hooked. There was however just one tiny little problem, Castiel’s grace surges.
It did wonders for his ego, knowing that every time they had sex Cas’s grace would become so powerful that it would blow the bunkers' power. But after one too many “electrical mishaps,” his angelic boyfriend had taken a vow of chastity, not wanting to risk damage to the bunker's electrics or anywhere else for that matter.
It's not that Cas wasn’t offering Dean enjoyment, but it’s just so much better when there are two at play. He needed to try something, anything to get Cas out of that damn trench coat and into his bed again, and hopefully, the Enochian handcuffs that sat heavily in his back pocket might be the solution to all their problems. (That's if Cas would be on board with the idea.)

Series: Part 1 of Baby-Blue-verse
Summary:
He can’t handle losing Cas, and he especially can’t handle losing the ex-angel over something as stupid as him liking to dress up in pretty underwear because it makes him feel beautiful.
Dean will either never speak his mind or he will die of humiliation, and he far easier will take the former.
(TLDR: Dean Winchester and his macho-manly internalized shame struggles to accept the fact that he likes wearing panties. Cas shows him there's nothing wrong with it. Angst, some miscommunication, love, and smut ensue.)

After being nagged into it by his brother, Dean takes on the task of teaching Castiel how to drive; a task that turns out to be harder to accomplish than one would have thought since neither Cas nor Dean seems capable of watching the road…
Inspired by Supernatural episode 5x04 along with a presumably deleted scene that I cannot seem to find again sadly…

Summary: Every time Dean had been on his knees for Cas, someone's life was on the line. Every time he had gazed up at him, lips parted and eyes pleading, their relationship just grew more and more complicated.
This time, however, was different. Pleasure rushed through his veins instead of pain, his eyes shined with unshed tears that stemmed from euphoria rather than grief, his lips that were once swollen from unforgiving hits were now plump and red from rough and unyielding kisses. Being on his knees for Cas, like this, was deliciously uncomplicated.
Dean had never considered himself a worshipful man, but being on his knees in front of a flushed and wanting Cas might just be what changes his mind.
