Less than 50k vol ??
It’s starting to be a pattern that I can’t keep up with my own lists anymore. Anyway, I think some of us might have some commitment issues currently due to the trauma caused to us by this 15 years that ended terribly so here’s fics with less than 50k words. No need to commit for too long. All are good, all have Destiel, and they probably have nothing else in common.

Admin J’s notes: They’re first hunting, and then they ended up… Well, read it. This is awesome and funny, and in some parts, very sad so maybe not the best choice for this particular moment.
Summary: Sam could’ve kissed them both when he got to the bunker one day to find a string of clothing (his heart nearly burst with hope when he saw the abandoned flannel and trench coat) leading to a very naked pile of limbs tangled on the couch. Just kidding. Of course it wasn’t the couch. Sam always imagined it as the couch because the fact that he actually found them on the dining room table had tainted the happiness of the memory.

Admin J’s notes: Memory loss fics are one of my favourites, even if having a memory loss is one of my biggest fears. I’m not making very much sense even to myself. Also, why did I put so many slightly sad fics here? Am I a masochist?
Summary: After a serious car accident, Dean suffers temporary memory loss. Eventually, though, he gets his memories back - he remembers everything. Everything except his husband and anything that’s got something to do with him. Dean has no idea why that is, but with time, he finds his way back to Castiel – only to find out that maybe, there is a reason his mind kept blocking him out.

Admin J’s notes: Good old mystery / case fic, shitty John and a clever, different plot. It feels like something between an AU fic and non-AU fic, so whichever you like, try this one. Also, I’m quite sure this wasn’t sad. If you read it and it was, don’t kill me, please.
Summary: In 1991, after the most frightening day of his short life, Dean’s family was split down the middle. His mother left. His brother, too. For the remainder of his youth, he had nothing but his increasingly distant father, a life constantly uprooted, and the book Sam left behind. A book that spoke of a light on the ocean and the terror that longed to breach it. Now, seventeen years later in the small fishing town of Jackpine Harbor, Maine, the appearance of a strange light on the horizon and a rash of storms set off memories of the day he’d rather forget, and the town’s newest resident, a veterinarian named Castiel Shurley whose apparent hatred of Dean is neither founded nor avoidable, is just one more thorn in his side.

Admin J’s notes: Okay so hear me out. You know I would never suggest you anything that has anything shady to do with kids, so you can read this. I didn’t read it for years because I got terrible pedo vibes but that’s not the case. (I have suggested you catboy!Cas fics so I understand you don’t maybe trust me on this.)
Summary: During a storm in September of 1987, Dean and Sam hear something hit their roof. When they brave the backyard to investigate, they find a fledgling angel. A story about best friendship, spoiled plans, and love, in four parts.

Admin’s assessment: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Admin J’s notes: Those names, though. I love long distance relationship fics (amongst many other fics, as it has turned out). If you’re in one, then this is your pick. If you’re not in one, well, read this anyway.
Summary: “Nerdytr3nchcoat” and “Impala67” weren’t looking for romance on the dating website called ‘dateangels.com’. Castiel was looking for friends and Dean was just looking to get his nagging brother off his back. What they didn’t expect to find was each other. [a long distance, online relationship fic]
