It’s the Destiel fic @wisteria-lodge and I have been writing where Dean and Cas and Jimmy Novak, the man Cas is possessing navigate consent issues, work through trauma (Alastair gets mentioned) and talk about their feelings in various states of undress.
It diverges from canon with Dean kissing Cas after 5x04 The End but does contain some minor spoilers for later season.
Go check it out, maybe leave a comment. This and other SPN fic I’ve written can be found on y AO3 or via links in the pinned post on my blog.
If you’d like me to elaborate on any of the tags or if you have any questions just message me and I’m happy to clarify.
I was tagged by @missbrunettebarbie and @connecting-the-mothership. Thank you!

Six ships: I love ships of all kinds! Here are 6 from Supernatural, just to be fun
1. Dean/Castiel/Jimmy Novak (give me those like, complicated consent issues yess)
2. Sam/Balthazar (All the fun of Sam/Gabriel, except Balthazar is slightly less of a trash fire and wouldn’t drive Sam *so* insane that he’d just completely opt out)
3. John Winchester/Bobby Singer (basically canon. Whoever is doing the shows weaponry ships this *hard core*)
4. Crowley/Mrs. Tran (give me Mrs. Tran Queen of Hell. Also while we’re at it, let’s explore Crowley’s mommy issues!)
5. Dean/Donna (I think it’s nice. Like a healthy fling for both of them.)
6. Dean/Eliot Ness (from that one time travel episode. It wasn’t just me that saw the chemistry?)

The way to write Dean/Jimmy/Cas AUs without making Cas and Jimmy twins is to make them roommates and just give Dean prosopagnosia instead.
Or you could even just make them similar looking enough that people mistake them for each other often. Or they could look eerily similar to the point where they do some kind of DNA test to find out if they’re related and it comes back negative. It could be a one off joke or a huge plot point.
My point here is that I want more fic with this pairing and I think there are ways for people to write it in AUs while still avoiding the squick factor.
The Destiel (plus Cas’ vessel Jimmy Novak) epic that wisteria-lodge and I wrote over the past year or so is updating daily in anticipation of the finale.
It totals about 140k words of smut, angst and fluff. So if you want a long read that promises regular updates and a happy ending, check out our fic Edging over on Ao3.
Just posted chapter 9 of Edging the Dean/Cas/Jimmy canon divergence fic I’ve written with @wisteria-lodge.
(Cas and Jimmy ARE NOT twins in this. Jimmy is Cas’ vessel.)
It diverges with Dean kissing Cas at the end of 5x04 The End. Over the course of the fic Dean Cas and Jimmy work through their various traumas and hangups while figuring out their relationship. Also, Dean is comfortably bi in this, but hasn’t come out to Sam yet at the beginning.

Excerpt:
Chapter 1: The End
Dean pulled Cas into a kiss. Didn’t even have to think about it. The night was quiet, the neighborhood empty, they were somewhere on the outskirts of Kansas City. But they could have been in the middle of Times Square. Dean still would have done it.
Sure Cas had been dead before, dead and splattered over the walls of Chuck’s house like sick modern art. That had been bad, but he’d gone out fighting. This time... Dean had watched him die in that bleak, bombed out future Zachariah sent him to, that future where Lucifer was wearing Sam’s body, and where Dean had turned cruel. The sort of person who sent Cas to his death casually. For nothing. For a distraction.
So if Dean’s arms were around Cas now, trying to protect the body that could take a knife or a bullet without flinching - if he had to kiss him to let him know that he did matter, that this mattered - and say sorry to that other Cas, who a few days ago, five years from now, was throwing orgies he was too high to remember with women whose names he didn’t even know…
Well. Dean had never been the poster boy for healthy coping mechanisms.
All he knew was Cas’ kiss didn’t taste like smoke or absinthe. It didn’t taste like anything. And Dean kept it going, until he managed to convince himself that it was real. Mostly convince himself.
He broke off the kiss, and felt Cas as silent and rigid as a statue in his arms. It was probably a decent idea to back off, give him space. But the second he did, one of Cas’ arms curled around him and it was like backing into a wrought-iron fence.
Cas stared at him, head to the side like he had been asked a question.
“Cas. It’s - I’m…” Dean could do this. “Good to see you. Really, really good timing.”
He could make this right. He could call Sam, tell him he’d been an idiot for saying they should split up. Make it so that nightmare future never happened. Take better care of Cas.
If you’re excited about the finale but not all caught up with the show yet and in need of a finished Destiel fic with regular updates to read that's set earlier in the show, this fic diverges early in season 5 and doesn’t forget about the existence of Jimmy Novak. I’ll reblog this post again with a link once it’s up.
