I think about this cake every day

[tizzymcwizzy]

sorry for exposing your tags but this is hilarious

[microsuedemouse]

OP, I hope you don’t mind me making an addition:

When I turned 17, we ordered a cake at the grocery store for my party, as we’d done many times before. If you wanted something written on the cake you’d write it into a section of the order form. We requested, very simply, “Happy Birthday Courtney”. When we went to pick it up the day of the party, this is what we got.

The bakery employees had absolutely no explanation for this. The order form, attached to the box, very clearly did not contain any of those extra names. Whomever had done the writing was no longer in, so there was no one to ask how this had happened. The fact that the name ‘Juan’ is misspelled bewilders me to this day. (I’ve never seen ‘Miley’ without the E, either, but it’s believable that someone might spell it that way.) Did this cake slip in from an alternate universe where I’m one quarter of a set of Hispanic quadruplets? Dyslexic Hispanic quadruplets, maybe?

This cake became the focal point of my party. At least two of my friends regularly called me ‘Courtney Mily Jaun Pablo’ for years to come. My siblings and I still reference it sometimes, eleven years later. It is probably the funniest thing ever to occur at any birthday celebration of my life, and may well remain so for the rest of my days.

I love a botched cake.

[helenarth]

one time me and some pals spotted one of those big cookie cakes in a store. it was done up with red icing and little X's for kisses and in the middle it said

No One Like You

now, it took us a while to realise it meant "(there is) no one like you". at first, we all parsed it as a botched "no one like(s) you"

for ages after when we'd wind each other up we'd declare "NO ONE LIKE YOU ☹️👎"

I just feel like it's important to post the Sacred Texts

[ao3commentoftheday]

I don't know if it's just me being in small fandoms, but fandom as a whole feels...really lonely as of late. People have split themselves up so much that they don't discuss things the way they did before, they just kind of post their stuff and leave and half their audience "consumes" it like "content". There's no comments, barely kudos, the only places fans talk with each other anymore are on private discord servers that no one ever finds out about...I don't know, I'm a bit of an old and I feel like I'm screaming out into the void for no reason at this point. Sure, "somebody" will like my stuff, but will I ever get to know about it?

I think about this kind of thing a lot, anon, and I think my generation (Gen X/xillennial) kind of did folks dirty a bit.

In our defense, we didn't know we were.

I'm an educator by profession, as well as on this hobby blog, and so I spend a lot of time thinking about how people learn things. A lot of learning is social, and a lot of it happens when parents teach their children.

When I was growing up, pre-internet, my parents taught me how to talk to other adults in our community, how to play with other children, how to order food in a restaurant, how to call a business and ask a question. They literally walked me through how to do all of that stuff and more because those were daily skills in the world at that time.

We've spent the last 20+ years talking about how kids today are "digital natives" - but have we spent enough time teaching kids how to keep a conversation going when you're not in the same room as the other person? How to leave a comment on a post by a person you don't know? How to show your appreciation to a content creator? What a content creator even is and how that differs from a fan creator?

I know there are a lot of jokes out there about different things that would kill a Victorian child, but I think what would actually be difficult for them would be the lack of rules and instructions that kids today receive from the adults in their lives.

I don't have kids myself, so maybe this is all just bullshit and I'm talking directly out of my ass. But a LOT of the time when I notice someone doing something 'wrong' it's because no one ever told them how to do it right.

I kind of suspect that might be part of what's happening in fandom these days. Combine the above with the fact that fandom got inundated with new members in 2020 during quarantine and lock downs, and it's not surprising to me that a large percentage of the people in fandom today don't approach things the way that we used to before.

i don't fault them for it. When fandom was smaller and the internet was new, we used to take the time to bring people in. But now, it feels like 'everyone knows XYZ' so why does it need to be taught? And with how fast things move, it's more rare for newcomers to lurk for a while before they dive into everything.

This is a very long answer to a problem that probably just needed a listening ear, but I hope what you take away from this is an understanding that you're not the only one who feels the difference. I see this same experience shared in the notes on my posts all the time.

There is no easy fix for the situation and it certainly won't be fast to change, but maybe if we mentor a bit more when we have the spoons to, we can shift the culture a bit? One fan at a time?

If you managed to get all the way to the end of this, do yourself a favour and leave a comment on a fic or reblog a post with some chatty tags. DM somemeone or tag them or send them an ask just to let them know you see them and you think they're cool.

Even if nothing happens as a result, you tried. And maybe you just made someone's day. 💗

[curator-on-ao3]

Demographically, I have a fair amount in common with @ao3commentoftheday with the exception that I am a parent.

And my oldest child has entered online fandom.

Thankfully, my child and I don’t share fandoms (we both prefer it that way), but we did sit down to discuss how to maintain privacy and safety while also being friendly in online interactions. I taught my child about fandom red flags and green flags, from my experiences, and my child has since asked for my advice in terms of my child’s own fandom experiences and how to handle issues and concerns.

All that being said, I was surprised and confused when my child informed me that my child had not been leaving kudos or comments on AO3. Keep in mind, this child would read longfics for days, tell me how great the author’s writing captured the characters, etc.

“Why didn’t you kudos or comment if the fic was so good?” I asked.

While my child explained lack of ability to comment due to fic restrictions (my child has expressed not yet feeling ready to have an AO3 account even though my child is old enough and my husband and I would be fine with it), my child said kudos didn’t matter: “Who cares about one kudos?”

“The author cares. And, if the author for some reason doesn’t care, I know you care about doing the right thing. I think expressing appreciation for other people’s fanwork is the right thing to do. What do you think?”

My child went back and kudosed all stories read to that point.

But I’m just one parent. And it’s absolutely not the job of fandom to parent children. There’s an idea that the way we behave in real life is divorced from the way we behave online. There’s some merit to that in the form of maintaining privacy and boundaries online that might be different in person. When we’re talking about basic manners, though? Golden rule stuff? That’s what’s become lacking, and I hope it improves.

[queenofattolia]

i do think that a lot of this is just the result of a lack of lurk moar attitude in fandom/the internet in general.

when i was a tween who first found fandom in the late 90s/early 2000s, people didn't explicitly teach me how to interact with fandom. i lurked for a solid year before i signed up for my own account on the forum i'd found. (i can still remember how the adrenaline coursed through me as i signed up for my own account--i felt tingy and more than a little ill!)

by that time, i had a very good sense of social norms there. i still made a few mistakes, and the more established members smacked me down in a matter-of-fact but not unkind way. but i'd learned by watching. hell, by the time i started actively participating, i knew all the inside jokes!

as op mentioned, i don't think that people lurk anymore, and my theory is that the rise of social media/web 2.0 created a different approach to web communities.

today, every site is presumed to be for every person. the entire point of the really big social media sites is that everyone is on them. (this is one of the things i hate about them btw because it results in context collapse. i do not want to talk to my third-grade teacher, my favorite cousin, complete strangers, and my fandom friends in the same voice, but that's another issue).

whereas in web 1.0, the internet was riddled with niche sites/communities. you had to go out and find your place (and sometimes it took a while!). once you found it, you were invested in becoming a part of that specific community, so you did the research (lurking) to find out how people interacted, what all the unspoken norms were. by the time you picked your handle and made your account, you just knew stuff.

i'm sure this was not true of everyone, but it was true of far more people at the time. people looked before they leapt.

there are many, many reasons that i think that fandom has suffered from the web 2.0 environment. the fact that creators/writers/actors and fans are all on the same sites using the same tags for general publicity and for fannish nonsense is a huge problem. the way that sites are so big that people feel that their contributions (as with kudos above) don't matter is a direct result of the way social media undermines community and makes everything a performance of whatever your late-capitalist brand is. the fast pace of those sites makes people think that interacting with older posts is a bad idea. the lack of filters of the kind that we had on livejournal where you could determine who saw what or even just the way that forums often made you join before you could see content created walls within which communities could grow (think frost and walls making good neighbors).

i know we can't go back to the assumptions that operated before social media. we have to explore other options. i love when people make psas here telling people about fandom norms and history! i think it's the best thing! and maybe at this point that is the only way to handle it.

tumblr and ao3 are very weird sites in that they straddle the web 1.0 and web 2.0 kinds of internet.

from web 1.0 they get the lack of algorithms, the way you have to make choices about what you see, chronological arrangements, and (on ao3) lack of ads, etc. tumblr has a slightly slower pace than most social media; ao3 has a much slower one.

from web 2.0, though, you get scale, centralization (which is both ao3's greatest strength and greatest weakness), and the fact that it takes little effort to locate these sites--anyone, no matter their level of investment in fandom, can just stumble on them.

so you end up having a lot of people who are not actually fannishly inclined (aren't invested in a gift economy, don't really understand that fandom is supposed to be fun, don't really get the creative urge etc.) interacting with people who are fannishly inclined, and it causes some really problems. especially with younger people whose experience of the internet is as a venue to signify and perform certain kinds of morality/coolness/trendiness that are at odds with what fandom has always been about. basically: you have a bunch of normies clashing with a bunch of nerds. (obviously the normie/nerd divide is a spectrum and not a binary, so i'm overstating, but still.)

when you have people who are coming to fandom from different angles--some people who are coming to it as a provider of content just like all other media in their lives, especially elsewhere online; some people who are coming to it as a participatory hobby wherein we build community around shared affection for [thing]--there's going to be lots of clashes and weirdness.

i kind of think that fans need to go back to create set-apart spaces for fandom to happen. note that i am NOT talking about gatekeeping. everyone who treats others with respect would be welcome. but just having fenced-off areas that are explicitly for certain kinds of fandom interactions. where we can basically have our party away from the normies, but other nerds who are younger or just getting in touch with their nerdiness can find us.

i'm not sure how we'd go about doing it. but i think smaller, more intimate internet spaces are really necessary for fandom to be enjoyable. for fandom to be fandom tbh.

Summary: Dean Winchester was 23 when he got his belly button pierced. It was during a time in his life when everything felt like it was in turmoil (long before he even really knew what his life being in turmoil truly meant). He never intended to go out and get any piercings—his father would have never allowed it. For 20-something years it had been his best-kept secret… that was until one fateful night when a hunt went wrong and his best friend had to swoop in and help patch him up, catching an eyeful of his elusive secret. Castiel’s infatuation with his best friend took a dangerous turn that night (not that he wasn’t already treading treacherous waters with his feelings towards the man). He had already known that Dean had a piercing, but he had no idea it was still functional, and equally had no idea that a piece of jewellery, Dean’s own slice of quiet rebellion, would have such a profound effect on him. Now Castiel can’t help but want him and his fading grace is doing very little in hiding his… indiscretions. The idea of it slowly drove him insane. And what makes it worse… Castiel was certain Dean was doing it on purpose.

A stupid deal Dean once made with his best friend. If neither of them is married ten years later to the day, they're going to tie the knot — with each other. As Dean is slowly getting used to the thought of marrying Jo Harvelle, a letter arrives on his doorstep and his entire world turns upside down. The wedding invitation leaves no room for doubt: Someone else is going to marry Jo. Still in shock, Dean agrees to be her Maid of Honor. It’s his only chance to sabotage the wedding and prevent it from happening. Yet, he doesn’t anticipate Jo’s fiancé. Castiel Novak is everything Dean isn’t. He steals Dean’s breath from the very first moment. Dean can’t compete. Worse, Dean comes to the sudden realization that he probably isn’t as straight as he has always made himself believe.

They met in freshman year, been roommates and teammates and everything in between since then, and Dean’s thinking it’s just that — the not living together anymore thing — but it’s been a little weird between them since they made the move off campus and back home to Sioux Falls. Cas must be feeling it too because it’s not three days later that he’s signing them both up for the local rugby team, which, given how messy their last season turned out, is probably a bad idea. Cas needs it, though, and Dean needs Cas, and so even though it is a really bad idea, he’s gonna do it anyway. Game on.

One thing he does know is that it would have to be a world where people were free to choose their own happiness. He can finally make that happen, for all of the people he's called family. Oh, and there are some definite drawbacks to omniscience...

Housewarming Gift | @peanutbutterjelly-pie Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 25,911 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon Compliant, Post Canon, Fix It, Angst with a Happy Ending, Grief/Mourning, Friends to Lovers, First Kiss, Selectively Mute Dean Summary: Does it count as a midlife crisis when you buy a house and renovate it in secret, not telling your brother a single thing about it? Well, Dean most certainly doesn't handle Cas' death very well and so somehow he ends up grieving in his own special way: by building a home and praying that one day he will share it with someone very particular. Deep down Dean knows it's a futile hope and probably not really healthy to cling onto it so desperately, but at the end of the day dreams occasionally come true, even for a Winchester. Right?

Desideratum and Other Mishaps | @thefandomsinhalor Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 28,076 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon Divergent, S14E13 Lebanon, Accidental Baby Acquisition, Baby Jack, Fluff and Angst, Protective Dean Winchester Summary: In an unexpected turn of events, Castiel and the Winchesters find themselves with a toddler on their hands, when Jack, intending to regain his grace, makes a wish with the Baozhu—the wish-granting pearl—instead of Dean and gets transformed into a young child. Unsure how to fix the situation, and with Mary and Sam aiding the hunters from the other world on a hunt, Dean and Castiel are left alone at the bunker to care for baby Jack, where more than one revelation will unfold.

Sunflower | @maxine_1703 Rating: Mature Word Count: 28,842 Main Tags/Warnings: Body horror, hurt!Cas, post 15.18, hurt/comfort, grief/mourning, mutual pining, idiots in love Summary: With Cas in the Empty, Dean is forced to take another look at his feelings for him. Cas was someone he’d always considered a friend, and Dean never even thought of him in that way. However, when Cas returns with no wings, and no memory of his confession, Dean thinks it’s prudent to backburner that conversation. Everything is relatively all right (or so Dean thinks), until Sam’s caught up in a bad reaction to a spell, and Dean and Cas are forced to confront their feelings for each other while they rush to rescue a certain Samsel in distress. There’s also the fact that everything Jack touches seems to die, but hey, Dean can only handle one problem at a time, and that is not his fault.

Half empty | @sinnabonka Rating: Mature Word Count: 37,680 Main Tags/Warnings: Case Fic, Angst with a Happy Ending, Mystery, Unreliable Narrator, POV Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester Character Study, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, Canon-Typical Violence, Happy Ending, Fix-It, Psychological Thriller Summary: Raging storm, boundless cornfield surging, churning, like an angry ocean crashing its waves over steep shores. Dean comes to in the passenger seat of his car with no memory of what could have possibly brought him to the oddly named bar on the outskirts of the small town in the middle of nowhere. Investigating what first looks like a regular, run-of-the-mill missing people case and trying to bring back memories he’s lost, Dean ends up discovering truth he’d rather remain hidden. Welcome to Half Empty, where nothing is as it seems, and even shadows have secrets of their own.

Gimme a Miracle | @blueeyesblueties Rating: Explicit Word Count: 46,700 Main Tags/Warnings: Angst and fluff and smut, hurt/comfort, alcoholism, implied suicide, self worth issues, mutual pining, swearing, sexually explicit, mutual masturbation, anal sex, top Castiel/bottom Dean, wing kink, wing grooming, angelic grace sex, sharing of angelic grace, Castiel's true form, Castiel possessing Dean, needy vulnerable Dean, loving Castiel Summary: This is a story about man’s best friend. Or... A Man’s best friend. And about how good things do happen... sometimes you just need a little Miracle.

All That's Left is Hurt | @inacatastrophicmind Rating: Explicit Word Count: 105,618 Main Tags/Warnings: Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending, Emotional Hurt, Slow Burn, Depression, Pining, Grief/Mourning, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Suicidal Thoughts, Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Canon-Typical Violence, Self-Esteem Issues, Unhealthy Coping Mechanisms, lake house, Fix-It, Post 15x19, Established Eileen Leahy/Sam Winchester, Loneliness Summary: After defeating Chuck, Dean expects that Jack, who is now the new God, will be able to bring back Cas, but unfortunately, Jack can’t. The entity of the Empty has managed to hide Cas from Jack, and all he can do, is wait for the entity of the Empty to make a mistake and release its grip on Castiel, which might take at least a century. Dean, shattered by the fact that he is going to have to live his life without Cas, mourning him for the rest of his days, drowns himself into the unforgiving and painful sea of grief. And as much as he wants to give up on life, he forces to keep going, because he doesn’t want Cas’ sacrifice to be for nothing, even if the simple act of breathing hurts. Unable to stay in the bunker anymore, haunted by the many memories he shared with Cas, Dean leaves the bunker and ends up buying a house near a lake. The house needs a lot of restoration, but Dean decides to work on it, hoping that if Cas is ever brought back from the Empty, he will have a nice home to come back to, even if Dean is no longer alive.

Destiel Trope Collection 2026 | Day 23: Case Fic

Dean Winchester Says He's in Love | @junesirius Rating: General Word Count: 3,886 Main Tags/Warnings: Hurt/Comfort, Bittersweet, Fluff at the end, Canon Divergent, Case Fic Summary: Dean grins wide, announcing, "I'm in love." Cas stares at him. "Oh," he says.

Julstaden | @mittensmorgul Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 4,190 Main Tags/Warnings: Case Fic, Fluff, Thanksgiving, Post-Canon, Christmas Fluff Summary: Sometimes a hunt cuts in to their enjoyment of a relaxing holiday. Sometimes saving a whole town has its own holiday-themed rewards. Everyone is thankful for that.

It’s all about the heart(s) | @hectatess Rating: Mature Word Count: 9,250 Main Tags/Warnings: Romantic Fluff, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, Graphic Description of Corpses, Canon-Typical Gore Summary: Dean has this thing. Anytime around Valentines Day he gets his hands on a heart, real or realistic, he goes for the same phrase. Sam just sighs and sends him a bitchface, but Sam has gotten sick, and Dean has put him in bed. So now Cas accompanies Dean on his hunt in a tiny Kansas town where people turn up dead with missing hearts. Seems open and shut, right?

sinner like me | @farenmaddox Rating: Mature Word Count: 11,697 Main Tags/Warnings: Post-Canon Fix-It, Lighthouses, Ghosts, Miscommunication, Castiel's Angelic Grace, The love is requited they're just stupid Summary: Dean has been avoiding Castiel as much as possible since the dust settled on the end of the world. When forced together to go investigate a haunted lighthouse, things start to thaw, but Cas’ confession still hangs over them, and they’re still not talking about it. Cas’ choice to trust a ghost and risk his life (again) might be the thing that pushes them over the edge.

Everything I Possess | @krexhatespushups-blog Rating: Explicit Word Count: 19,024 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon divergent, pre-seasson one Canon divergent, Angel possession, temporary character death, non-con possession, John Winchester A+ parenting, child abandonment, non-consenual flirting, implied/referenced drug addiction and use, mentions of PTSD, It's not all bad, I promise. Semi-public sex, praise kink, angelic grace as lube, established Dean/ Cas, greiving Castiel, hunters funeral, Dean and Cas get the ending they deserved. Summary: Dean had been fighting all kinds of supernatural beings from the time he could hold a gun, but he never expected angels to be real, So when he met Rhonda Hurley at nineteen in a tiny town in Colorado, the last thing he expected was that her sister had been miraculously saved by an angel. Nineteen years later, Dean and Cas are searching for God and their paths cross with a familiar angel who knows about Rhonda and reveals a secret - a pink satin-y panty shaped secret - that Dean has been hiding.

A Word in the Mists | @amaranthhiding Rating: Mature Word Count: 23,968 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon-Adjacent AU, Ship at Sea Setting, Case Fic, Monster Hunt, Pre-Relationship, Mystery, Suspense, Isolated from the Outside World, Apocalypse, Angst, Sarcasm, Fear of Drowning, Castiel and Dean Save Each Other, Canon-Level Depictions of Blood and Violence, Minor Character Deaths (not TFW), Brief Hints of Suicidal Thoughts, Dean POV, DeanCas HorrorFest 2024 Summary: Mist as far as the eye can see. A gloomy ocean that seems to swallow up the sunlight like broken dreams. An old, rusty ship that creaks with every inch of movement. And a crew that could compete in an award for grumpiest people alive. Dean really hates pretty much everything about this case, and would love nothing more than to call it quits and turn this ship around... if there wasn't the little issue of the disappearance of thousands of people across ten different ships on the open sea. Saving lives is what he does. But he has to question if he isn't doing more harm than good when the disappearances begin on his own ship—and he still hasn't even figured out what kind of monster they're dealing with.

Shifting Focus | @tea-or-die Rating: Mature Word Count: 24,774 Main Tags/Warnings: Mutual Pining, Dean Winchester Needs to Use Actual Words, Closeted Dean Winchester, Mentions of Past Sex Work, Human Castiel, Castiel is Saved from the Empty (Supernatural), Case Fic, Dean Winchester Needs to Remove Head From Ass, Castiel Loves Dean Winchester, Castiel (Supernatural) is a Taylor Swift Fan, Sharing a Bed, Dean Winchester Loves Castiel, Pretending to be a couple, Fake/Pretend Relationship, John Winchester's A+ Parenting, Love Confessions, Confusing Boner, bickering like an old married couple, Dean Winchester is Oblivious, Coming Out, Long-Suffering Sam Winchester Summary: Castiel may be back from the empty, but Dean just wants things to stay the way they were. Avoiding Castiel isn't the way to do that, though. When a case forces them to not only work together, but fake a relationship, Dean starts to wonder if maybe things need to change, after all.

Glimpses Amid Tears | @junesirius Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 35,513 Main Tags/Warnings: S8 Canon Divergent, Minor Body Horror, Mutual Pining, Angst, Castiel's True Form, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon-Typical Suicidal Thoughts, Dean Winchester Uses Actual Words, Happy Ending Summary: Cas had mentioned too damn many times they had no idea if the portal would allow an angel to pass, but they'd agreed to try, together. And they did. Their hands held tight, no one let go. But just like every other long shot in their bloody lives -- the bleak hopes, the only plans -- it didn't work. They never do. It's a human portal, after all. It only works on pure humans, so it should be no surprise that it would try to parse out any human part to throw out Purgatory, leaving the rest behind. When an angel in a vessel has both, it means tearing him apart. Literally.

The Vampire 'Verse | @maleyah Rating: Explicit Word Count: 45,946 Main Tags/Warnings: AU canon divergence, vampires, idiots in love, season 1 divergence, sharing a bed, case fic, dramatic Castiel, vampire Cas, hunter Dean, sibling shenanigans Summary: Dean has never been on his own in any permanent sense of the word. With John six feet under and Sammy at Stanford, he’s little more than a college dropout-turned hunter with endless possibilities at his fingertips and no clue what to do with them. So he hunts. Following the cold trail of a missing woman, he is headed for a nameless, Burtonesque town. On foot. (Baby broke down.) In a deluge. (Because of course.) Soaked to the bone, he knocks at the only house that has lights on. Somehow that ends with him in someone else’s clothes under a blanket in a very strange living room. Someone going by the name of Castiel, who isn’t what he appears to be. Don’t they say bad luck comes in threes?

Dark Blue | @whoipretended2b Rating: Explicit Word Count: 105,923 Main Tags/Warnings: Hunter Dean Winchester, Shapeshifter! Castiel, Protective Castiel (Supernatural), Creature Castiel (Supernatural), Angst with a Hopeful Ending, Angst, Enemies to Lovers, Case Fic, Depressed Dean Winchester, Stanford Era (Supernatural), canon adjacent, Canon Universe Summary: Castiel is a shapeshifter, haunted by his mother’s murder and terrified of becoming a monster himself. Survival means pretending, and he’s learned to be anyone but himself until the night he meets Dean Winchester. Dean is a hunter, raised to follow his father’s orders and become whatever the job demands. He doesn’t know who he is when he’s not performing, until he meets someone he calls “Blue”. What begins as a quest for revenge turns into something else: the collision of two men hiding from the world, each desperate and terrified to be seen beneath their disguises.

Shaded Verbena | @follows-the-bees Rating: Explicit Word Count: 175,384 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternative Universe-Noir, murder mystery, private paranormal investigator Dean Winchester, missing persons, post-war, PTSD, fluff and angst, angst with a happy ending Summary: “Winchester, you’ll be working with Novak on this.” Dean reels, stunned. “What?” he says loudly. He can’t have heard him correctly. Brooklyn, New York. 1948. When a string of mysterious deaths hit the city, Private Paranormal Detective Dean Winchester is forced to team up with by-the-book police officer Corporal Castiel Novak on the case. With each new lead, their investigation takes them down a path that brings them closer to cracking a case that has haunted Dean personally for years — and closer to piecing together the puzzle buried at the heart of Castiel.

Destiel Trope Collection 2026 | Day 16: Roommates

Helping Hand | @ampbwrites Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5,595 Main Tags/Warnings: roommates, alternate universe - college/university, masturbation interruptus, masturbation assistance, Dean Winchester Has a Bisexual Awakening, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss Summary: Dean's having a little trouble, well, getting there. Lucky for him, his roommate Castiel offers a friendly, helping hand.

My Roommate Is A Vampire (WIP) | @xev3n Rating: Explicit Word Count: 10,835 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - College/University, Vampire Castiel (Supernatural), Human Dean Winchester, Roommates, Dean Winchester in Denial About Sexuality, Strangers to Friends to Lovers, Hurt/Comfort, Sharing a Bed, Feeding Kink, Blood Drinking, Possessive Castiel (Supernatural), Explicit Sexual Content, Top Castiel/Bottom Dean Winchester, Top Castiel (Supernatural), Bottom Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester's Five Star Michelin-Rated Hole, BAMF Castiel, Dean 'Mattress Fucker' Winchester Summary: Dean Winchester never expected to end up living with someone like Castiel - quiet, hard to read, handsome in a way Dean can't look at for too long, and oh yeah, a vampire. Dean knows he's the awkward one; the nerd with too many textbooks and not enough (or any) friends. While Cas seems to move though the world like it yields for him. Their living arrangement is simple: Cas provides the room; Dean provides the blood. Everything else between them is far less simple, especially the way Dean pretends he doesn't wait for Cas' lips on him, or the way Cas is always watching him from across the room. Living with a vampire isn't the weird part. Wanting him is.

Home Is Where Your Heart Is | @adromelke Rating: Explicit Word Count: 20,116 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe Modern Setting, Policeman Castiel, Homeless Dean Winchester, Mutual Pining, Domestic Fluff, The Impala, Humor, Smut, Tickling, Masturbation, Blow Jobs, Top Castiel, Bottom Dean Winchester Summary: After a bad break up, Dean is forced to live in his beloved Impala while working his ass off to get back to the respectable life of home owners. After getting an unexpected offer he moves in with police officer Castiel, unleashing a totally shocking amount of pining and domestic fluff on the authors’s(hey, that’s me)mind.

All In | @tea-or-die Rating: Explicit Word Count: 23,690 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Roommates/Housemates, Roommates, oh my god they were roommates, Dean Winchester Tells Bad Jokes, Dad Jokes, Dean Winchester Uses Pet Names, Weed User Castiel (Supernatural), Recreational Drug Use, Dean Winchester's Love Language is Cooking, Pining, Mutual Pining, College | University Student Castiel (Supernatural), College | University Student Dean Winchester, Headaches & Migraines, Shotgunning, Autistic Castiel (Supernatural), Demisexual Castiel (Supernatural), Demiromantic Castiel (Supernatural), Gift Giving, Idiots in Love, They're In Love and Don't Know It, shameless flirting, Jealous Castiel (Supernatural), Insufferable Fondness, Masturbation, First Kiss, Getting Together, Love Confessions, First Time, Anal Fingering, Anal Sex, Unsafe Sex, Top Castiel/Bottom Dean Winchester Summary: Castiel is straight. Sure, he likes to count Dean's freckles, and his favourite books are queer, but Cas himself? Straight as a board...right?

Books, Pies, and Roommates | @seidenapfel Rating: Explicit Word Count: 27,731 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Two Person Love Triangle, Idiots in Love, Professor Castiel (Supernatural), Professor Dean Winchester, Mechanic Dean Winchester, Bakery Shop Owner Gabriel (Supernatural), Friends to Lovers, blink and you miss a minor mention of Rowena MacLoad/Sam Winchester, Fluff and Humor, Fluff and Smut, Misunderstandings, Mutual Pining Summary: Everything seemed easy when Castiel landed a job in Lawrence as a literature professor at KU. He even found a place to stay with his cousin in Topeka. But the daily commute quickly gets on his nerves and he begins looking for a room in town. When he finally lucks out on a house, it comes with a catch. His mysterious landlord/housemate works and lives in Topeka during the week, and will only be at home for the weekend while Castiel is back at his cousin’s to honor a promise he made. When Dean walks into his favorite pie shop, the new sales assistant takes his breath away. Steve is gorgeous, and part of the owner’s family. Dean doesn’t even mind that he picks up Gabriel’s stupid moniker for him. After all, Deano has one syllable more, and Dean will do anything to hear Steve’s voice just a little bit longer. Though, as breathtaking Steve might be, he isn't Angel. If only Dean's book-loving best friend weren't a mystery in himself — a guy who Dean has only met online, but who has slowly taken his heart away. And it seems that Dean isn't alone in his feelings. When the lines blur and fantasies merge three guys into one, disappointment and heartbreak seem to be inevitable.

The Winchester Breakfast Special | @thefandomsinhalor Rating: Explicit Word Count: 33,603 Main Tags/Warnings: Roommates AU, Pining, Injured Dean, Misunderstandings, Dean and Castiel needs to use their words, Summary: Watching Dean cook breakfast after a long night of steamy passion is something Castiel gets to witness on nearly every Sunday morning. The only problem is that the meal in question is never cooked for him: He’s just the roommate.

You Held It In Your Hands | @mittensmorgul Rating: Mature Word Count: 73,255 Main Tags/Warnings: POV Dean Winchester, Eventual Smut, Fluff, Demisexual Castiel (Supernatural), Mention of Past Dean/Others, i worked in hospitals and nothing about this is remotely realistic, think of this as the dr sexy au, that's the level of realism i was shooting for you brilliant coward, Castiel and Dean Winchester Use Their Words, Light Angst, More like melodrama, Comfortably Bisexual Dean Winchester Summary: Working in Emergency Medicine was a grueling specialty, but the new residents in Grace Memorial's ER were in for a special kind of torment. Dean had grabbed a seat at random at the new residents' orientation and felt his luck change for the better. His charming seatmate was remarkably also his new roommate and department partner for the next four years. He'd never expected to find everything he'd never known he needed when he'd arrived in Miami. Two weeks into their new lives, Dean couldn't help but wonder if Cas might feel the same way, but at the rate they were going they might never have a chance to find out. A maliciously orchestrated series of scheduling snafus seemed surgically crafted to keep Dean and Cas from ever seeing each other again. With a shot at happiness now just out of reach, and a seemingly impossible assignment to unmask the scandal at the heart of their troubles, Dean starts leaving long personal letters for his new friend to find every night, pouring out secrets he'd never shared with another soul. To his surprise, Cas writes back.
