Hey do you know any good dark fics?
Hey there - depends on what you consider a darkfic. I’m assuming you mean destiel since that’s all I read, so that’s all I can really rec.
I don’t read anything that has MCD or unhappy endings (where Dean and Cas end up apart) so I can’t rec anything like that. But below you can find some of my dark(ish) faves. Mind the tags!
In a Mirror, Darkly(slave AU, dom/sub)We know good people go to Heaven and bad people go to Hell, but where do the medium people go? Welcome to Limbo, a fourth plane of existence, ruled by angels and built upon the servitude of the humans enslaved to them. While on a routine salt n’ burn, the Winchester boys encounter a garrison of angels. Sam ends up being taken to Limbo; leaving it up to his brother, Dean, and the angel, Castiel to infiltrate the plane in order to rescue him.
Gravitation(serial killer AU)It’s been months since FBI Agent Castiel Novak found out his lover, Dean Winchester, was a serial killer using Castiel for access to the FBI investigation into his crimes. At their last meeting, Dean thought he had killed Castiel, but Castiel survived and has been hunting Dean ever since.
When Your True Destiny Is To Lead (deancasjimmy)(endverse AU)In 2017, Henry’s grandsons; Sam and Dean, struggle to survive in a world where Lucifer walks the Earth, demons and victims of the Croatoan virus destroy everything in their path, and angels are selfish and frightened.It’s been eight years since the Winchesters formed Camp Salvage. Eight years of hunting, fighting and protecting those around them. Dean is tired. He’s tired of being responsible for so much. But there isn’t an end in sight. The Devil toys with the world, and it won’t be long until the Croats kill them all. Dean is done. He’s had enough of fighting losing odds. Then—they hear word of an angel. Dean puts his game face on once more, leading a team in search of answers, help, or simply retribution. What they find instead, sends them into a tailspin that can only end two ways; wholesale destruction, the final, true end of all things, or the longest of shots; they win. With some unexpected tactical advantages, maybe Dean finally stands a chance: not just to survive, but to find a reason to want to.
The Face Behind A Mirror(ABO)Castiel, a lone alpha wolf, would like nothing more than to be left alone in his house to die. He wants nothing to do with the outside world and doesn’t have anything to offer to anyone. Then, one early morning, a black car crashes into a tree right beside his house. The driver is rendered unconscious and doesn’t remember a thing after he wakes up. He is also an omega, but there’s something very wrong with him.
Poisk Istiny (Finding Truth)(mafia/gangster AU)A rival family is stealing the Patricolo Family’s Boston shipments and collecting a neat payday five hours away on the streets of Brooklyn and Manhattan. Their Don, Dean Winchester, is wary about reaching out to a long-time New York ally. The Russian Bratvas do things differently. The young Pakhan, Castiel Krushnic, is hard-nosed and violent and while violence is mainstay in any underworld family, this boss has a special flair for it. It leaves an uncomfortable taste in Don Winchester’s mouth. Encouraged by his Consigliere, Bobby Singer, he finally relents. The Pakhan is quite different from what he was expecting. Dean learns the man’s secret by accident and decides to keep it to himself. They have bigger fish to fry as they discover traitors in both of their organizations while their enemy ups the stakes for each of them. After members of each family are kidnapped, the stakes get even higher.Betrayed from within leads to exposing long held secrets and when long denied desires are unleashed it puts each of them on a path that will change their lives forever.
Red Right Hand(serial killer AU)It all starts with the mysterious note left on Dean’s chair.It all ends with Dean coming to terms not only with what he’s capable of, but how much that knowledge doesn’t bother him.
It Satisfies, It Is Great(this isn’t really dark, more super angsty)All Castiel Novak ever wanted was someone to love him, really love him. When Sam Winchester comes into his life, that void is finally filled. He is beautiful and kind and Castiel falls for him quickly. But when Castiel meets Dean, Sam’s older brother, Castiel is forced to re-examine everything he thought he knew about life and love.This is a story about the struggle to make the right choices, a story about self-loathing and self-sacrifice. It’s a life long journey of soul searching and coming to terms with the life you have, and the life you’ve always wanted.
I haven’t read this one yet but it’s on my to-read list:
With Understanding(kidnapping/Stockholm/Lima syndrome AU - kinda)Winchester takes a deep breath. “I’m your soulmate.”Castiel should be saying something reassuring, something to convince the psychopath in front of him that he can be molded and should be kept alive. He is a trained FBI agent that has been in the Behavioral Analysis Unit for nearly a year. He knows what to do when kidnapped. Instead, “What the fuck is wrong with you?” comes out.(Supposed serial killer Dean Winchester kidnaps his soulmate, FBI Agent Castiel Novak. What ensues is a battle of wills – one determined to be loved, and one determined to be free.)
If anyone else has more dark fics, please reblog and add your favs ^^
some shameless self promotion,
Seven Heavenly Virtues
The Mark of Cain turns Dean into a demon once more. Dean is adamant that this time he's found a way to keep the mark under control but it's clear to Castiel that Dean needs help if he's going to fight the mark's influence until they can find a way to get rid of it. More than anything Castiel wants to save him, but if anyone needs to be saved it's Castiel as he tries to navigate where Dean ends and the Mark of Cain begins.
It’s canon verse au with demon!Dean and fallen/human!Cas. It is absolutely dark but without major character death which actually makes it so much worse. I use the dead dove tag for a reason.
