Professional Couple Only

11. A fic a follower recommended (well, we’re just going to assume that they are a follower)

Author: Saltyfeather (ao3) Wordcount: 37153 Rating: M Summary: There's a haunted apartment building in Vermont, and the ad says "Professional couple only". Dean and Cas rise to the occasion. Review: When I started reading this fic, I was kind of scared because what if I didn't like it? Luckily, I did like it, so I don't have to worry about that :D First of all, this was hilarious. There was a lot of humour in the small things: the references, stupid little jokes in the dialogues, those kind of things. It made this fic very pleasant to read. Like the anon said, this fic is slow build but not super angsty. On the contrary, it was suuuper fluffy! I get really irritated when the slow build takes too long but somehow it was bearable here, nice, even. And it's a case fic! I think this fic is one of the most "realistic" fics I've ever read, it really felt like I was watching (reading) and episode. In short, I loved it and I'm very glad the anon recommended this!

30 Days of Cheesy Tropes for Dean and Cas

7. a work of drabbles

Rating: not rated. It kind of depends on the chapter you're reading.

Summary: 30 Days of the Cheesiest Tropes you can imagine for our beloved Dean and Cas.

Review: I'm not really sure this counts as drabbles, but who cares. One thing I like about this kind of fics is that they're so varying. Sometimes it's fluffy, sometimes smutty or other times just ridiculously funny. It's like reading a lot of ficlets but without having to look each one up separetely, they're all just conveniently in one place. I have to admit, some chapters were a little weird. For example the body swap one, that one was just a but too weird for me *shudders*. But apart from that, I really enjoyed this. It's certainly worth a read.

Sympathy For The Devil (And Dean Winchester)

14. A fic set in the future/alternate future

Summary: "I'm Lucifer. I always have been. I just didn’t know it for like, the last five thousand fucking years, not until you broke the seal and I got my Grace back and realised exactly how much I was screwed over. Okay, so maybe there’s a few assholes I’d really like to explode, but really, I mostly just want to stay under the radar and get my head sorted.” After the final Seal is broken, Dean discovers that he's actually Lucifer. He's not really sure how he feels about that. The forces of Heaven and Hell aren't exactly making things easier.

Review: I have mixed feelings about this fic. Let me explain. I really liked the idea of the fic, and as soon as I was reading I couldn't stop. I just loved the story. The writing was very good, just like the charachterization. I could picture this in the show, and I kind of minded that season five wasn't more like this fic. BUT there wasn't that much destiel. First of all there was slow build and then when they "got together", not much fluffy stuf happened. Though I've got to say, at the fluffy destiel part, I fucking melted. So overall I'd say I loved this fic, but not for the destiel, but for the rest of the story. I'd reccomend this to anyone who likes the idea, too. But don't go looking here if you want to relax with some fluffy destiel.

Summary: Very slowly, Dean turns. 'How'd you know I was here about a room?' 'Power of deduction,' says Castiel, leaning against the doorway. 'I mean, you're not after pot, and I'm pretty sure we haven't slept together.' He grins wolfishly, gaze sliding over Dean's body. 'You, I'd remember.' Dean's been hit on by guys before, but never so blatantly, let alone by a semi-naked dude in a kimono. A hot blush warms his cheeks, and he covers his shock with cockiness, tilting his head and grinning. 'Sorry to disappoint you, Cas, but I don't swing that way.' Castiel throws back his head and laughs. 'And you want to live here? What, did your friends put you up to this?' 'Actually, yeah.' Dean raises an eyebrow. 'Is that a problem for you?'

Review: My god. This is one of those fics you're hooked on from the start. I just couldn't stop reading and it was amazing. Cas is so different from how he's normally written in fan fiction. It's not like I hate hot nerd!Cas, but hot, promiscuous Cas (by lack of better euphimisms) surely is something else! It was really refreshing. Dean has a sexuality crisis, but I didn't find it very angsty. Also, the 'reason' why he thinks he's straight, is just so realistic, I think i've got a new headcanon. At some point it gets quite angsty and dramatic, but  that made the ending even better. Somehow the smut was really sweet and although I liked that, it ended too quickly. The problems were all of a sudden all solved and it was a bit abrupt. I liked the story so much, I wished they took it more slowly.

Thrash & Cadence

Summary: Castiel Novak is a musical prodigy, whose proficiency with the cello has earned him a spot at the prestigious Carver Academy, a musical college where only the best and brightest are admitted. His compartmentalized world is shaken, however, when Dean Winchester arrives, and things only get more confusing from there. But although Dean makes Castiel feel scared in a way he has never felt before, it doesn't take long before the two of them realize that despite their differences, or maybe even because of them, they make beautiful music together, in more ways than one.

Review: Though this is a college au, it really didn't feel like it. It had a totally different atmosphere, probably because it's a music al college. I really liked that different atmosphere, it was something new. I found their relationship also quite different. It was more defined by the music playing, instead of their usual talking. Which is kind of normal, seeing as Cas was really shy around Dean and could barely muster a word. You might already know but this is the new fic of my favourite author, and if I compare this to her normal work, I'd again say that it was different. It was so totally her, but the general idea just made it different. I don't know if I made this clear enough but I really liked it. Because it was different, yes, but it was also really fluffy and adorable. It's definetly worth a read.

Bottoms up

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.

Review: This fic was so different from other fics in supernatural 'verse! It was funny, had little angst. The story was a lot from Sam's POV and normally I don't like that because it makes it less cute ('cause you're not "involved" in the relationship), but that wasn't in this one. This one was still really cute, even though Sam went crazy from their quibbling. This was just some happy, fluffy domestic Destiel with plot. Ugh, I loved it.

One Does Not Simply Ship Destiel

Summary: Sam is finally starting to figure out why Dean and Cas are so intense around each other. It makes sense, really. Granted, nothing is going to come of the longing glances and secret pining unless somebody does something. Sam takes it upon himself to do that something. Buy as it turns out, getting Dean and Cas together is more difficult than he imagines.

When the case they’re working— a creature straight out of the Lord of the Rings— reminds him of a good friend, Sam decides to call in the big guns. Charlie shows up to help with operation Destiel.

Review: LORD OF THE RINGS! YEAH! I’m quite a big fan of Lord of the Rings so reading this fic was a pleasure. I really liked the way the “creature straight out of Lord of the Rings” was written, I think it gave an accurate description of how they’d be in the actual show.

For the rest I found the fic really funny. And although I had the “when are they finally getting together?!" feeling a little bit, I still really enjoyed it.

And just all the jealousy and sexual tension are just so damn cute! Ugghh qshjfkskjffd

Darkly Dreaming Dean

Summary: Dean Winchester has the perfect apple pie life with his shy-but-sweet boyfriend in the suburbs. He has a steady, well-paid job with the LAPD and he’s charming and attractive. Really, he’s living the American Dream. It’s his extra-curricular activities that some may disagree with, as he’s also an accomplished serial killer. To date, his kills amount to around 36 and he’s never been caught. He’s employed by the law, remember? He knows how these things work. * A new serial killer arrives on the scene and despite the sloppiness of their work, Dean is intrigued by them and what they're trying to achieve, because their MO is the same as his; killing bad people. He make it his mission to track the other killer down before the police do, and he’s left reeling when the 'Basin Vigilante' turns out to be someone a lot closer to home than he could have ever imagined.

Review: Okay, I just have to say that I absolutely loved this 'verse. I guess I'm just a sucker for  murder mystery kinda stories. I really should start watching Dexter, that's what this fic is mildly based on by the way. I think the summary kind of gives away the ending, right? Or maybe it doesn't? Who knows? *evil laughter* Just for the record, this is not a very fluffy fic. Only a little at the end. Cas and Dean's relationship is kind of broken, Dean doesn't really give Cas enough attention. He's also quite scared of intimacy in fear of revealing his true nature. I kind of liked that, it gave me almost the same feeling I have when reading slow build. The writing was also excellent. The author created the right atmosphere: when for example it had to be exciting, it was. The construction of the story was also great. The order of all the events really fitted in my opinion. I really couldn't stop reading. There's also a sequel, but that one's not done yet (too bad). In conclusion, I liked this very much. There's not that much fluff, but the rest of the story highly made up for that.
