I'm trying to find something that starts when Cas first meets them. I'm rewatching from season 4 and honestly this angst is getting to me.
This isnât quite when Cas first meets them but it is my favorite season four fic:
The Consequences of Falling by FayJay (e, ~37k)
A story in fifteen parts, in which the angel Castiel finds himself put in an untenable position, and consequentially loses his grace. In which he goes on a roadtrip with a demon, discovers the delights of tequila and french fries and pie, plays a starring role in a virgin sacrifice, is deflowered by his favorite Winchester, and then gets some very unpleasant news indeed.
**The MCD in this story is temporary, just a heads up.
Hi, Iâve been searching for ages for a fic I read and canât find it anywhere! Set in an alternate season 12 Cas lands in Italy and becomes fuck buddies with an Italian man of letters, theyâre all trying to rescue Sam and go to London, Dean is jealous and itâs pretty angsty. Ring any bells? Thanks!
I donât read CasxOther so it doesnât ring any bells, no. But you can try looking through Destiel Fanficâs Season 12 tag.Â
Good luck!
If any followers know what fic this is, drop it in my inbox.
hi, a friend sent me a fic like a few months ago and it was v good. Cas had to take care of Dean and the world was ending? Cas had to make sure the other angels could not find them and they stayed in a cabin. Dean also in the beginning has to learn how to walk and talk again. Sorry again for how specific it is, im just really in the mood to read it and cant remember its name. thanks !
First thing that came to my mind is:Â
Ghost Dance by omphalos (e, 51.2k)
In post-apocalyptic isolation, Castiel nurses Dean back to something like his former self, but will a time come when Dean's recovered --and rediscovered-- too much?
If thatâs not it, let me know.Â
(That is an ollllllld fic my friend! Iâm glad itâs still getting some love!)
Hey! So I really love this pairing but Iâm not a fan of AUs and it feels like AUs are everywhere. Any good canon-compliant or even just canon verse with a twist stuff out there?
Hey, Anon. I remember when I wasnât a fan of AUâs, too. Needless to say I was desperate for any SPN Verse I could get my hands on.Â
Moral of the story is: donât worry, boo. I gotchu.Â
Some of my personal Supernatural Universe faves would be:

Are you there Dean Winchester? Itâs me, God. by: bunnymacool
Dean Winchester has grown used to God dicking around in his life the last couple years. But this crap? This takes the CAKE ⌠or pie, rather. Now heâs been thrown a whole new curve-ball. The kind that has ended the Civil War in Heaven ⌠but resulted in Raphael taking over, and hunting for Deanâs ass on a silver platter. Not to mention dealing with Balthazar acting like a self-righteous prick, Sam having some big damn epiphany on his big brotherâs sexuality, and Cas eying him up like heâs the worldâs juiciest cheeseburger. All that mixed with the chance to fix it all and set everything to rights ⌠but only if Dean is willing to sacrifice himself. Again. Seriously, if he ever meets that bastard God heâs gonna- ⌠oh hey, Chuck! What are you doing here?
Circadia by: imogenbynight
4-01 is a monster undeserving of a name.
In a facility known only as Circadia, he serves a life sentence in punishment for terrible crimes he cannot remember, and is told to be grateful to have forgotten what those he left behind cannot.
Meanwhile, convinced that he is nothing but a poisonous presence in the lives of those he loves, Dean is attempting to track down Gadreel when Sam calls with bad news: Castiel has disappeared without a trace.
The Day The World Went Away by: pyjamagurl
After being reunited with Sam and leaving Lisa, Dean is finding that adjusting back into the hunting lifestyle is harder than he thought it would be. When a particular hunt goes badly, he gets knocked out, only to awaken five years in the future. Things are definitely different; Castiel is a hunter, Sam is married and things between Dean and Castiel have gone somewhere Dean really hadnât expected. And somewhere in all of this there is a lesson to be learned.
A Distant Mirror by: zatnikatel
Dean finds that his heart is racing, and his throat is suddenly thick. He swallows once, almost gasps it out, his need to know.âShow me.âThe words are scarcely out of him before Castielâs fingers are tapping softly on his forehead, and the air is suddenly oddly heavy with something; with age, with knowledge, with a gust of wind that buffets the curtains, with a crackle of sounds, with the scent of salt, and copper andâ
Dry Clean Only by: PersephoneSmeeÂ
There were only two hunter-friendly drycleaner-laundromats in the US, and My Little Warsh House in Okeana, Ohio, belonged to Harry Mencher. In the aftermath of Casâs Leviathan possession and disappearance, life and laundry must go on.Â
Feel by: zatnakitel
You feel meâŚyou always will.
The Fourth Wall by: entanglednowÂ
What happens when a few certain hunters, and a one angel of the Lord become just this side of obsessed with *gulp* Supernatural fanfic? Nothing short of greatness⌠depending on which of the three youâre asking.Â
Head full of Doubt, Road Full of Promise by: nurfherder
When a witchâs spell goes awry, Dean transforms. However, even after the dust settles, we canât change the things weâve done or revealed about ourselves. Itâs time to look inside and figure out who we really are, and who we really love. Completed Work. (Original story as seen on my tumblr, nurfherder.)DeanCas, multiple characters, semi-AU after Season Five. Only first part gender-bend. Christmas time.Â
How Still My Heart by: cadignan
Charlie hadnât been waiting for the call, but itâs not exactly a surprise to hear from Dean.
âCas? You want me to find Cas?â
*this fic is available to registered AO3 users only
How To Romance a Human by: cloudyjenn
Castiel consults Cosmopolitan magazine in order to win Deanâs heart.
Keeping Faith by: zoemathemataÂ
After the apocalypse is over, Dean and Cas become a family when they take in a little girl.
A Night at the Museum by: swordofmymouth Â
AU. For anyone whoâs seen 5.04 all the way through, and wondered what happened afterward, in the Year of Apocalypse, 2014 â this is that story.
*this says AU, but I think canon divergent is a more accurate description as itâs written in the SPN universe.Â
Not Usually A Good Thing by: cloudyjennÂ
Five ways Castiel made Dean feel.Â
The Pillow Verse by: anythingtoasted, clockworkrobots, inplayruns, outpastthemoat Â
This is a story of the things that happen after the fall.
A canon-based domestic!fic shared universe set in the Men of Letterâs bunker, The Pillow âVerse follows Dean, Castiel, Sam, and their small cohort of rabble-rousers through stories of love, nest building, family, and healing following the 8x23 Supernatural finale Sacrifice.
With Castiel having set himself up as the new God, drunk on power and volatile as a nuclear reactor, Dean, Sam, and Bobby find themselves on the run from the jealous, capricious monster wearing the face of their friend. Desperate for protection and wary of his brotherâs mental state since Castiel unlocked Samâs memories of Hell, Dean knows Castiel must be defused before he can wreak further havoc in Heaven or on Earth. Although Bobby advocates for destroying Castiel by whatever means necessary, Dean is convinced the Cas he once knew still remains, buried somewhere beneath the mass of poisonous souls and calling out for help. Determined to save the angel who once rescued him from Hell and redefined his purpose in life, Dean himself must resist the allure of the false deity vying for his obedience, and come to terms with the knowledge, long-suppressed, that his feelings for Castiel run much deeper than brotherhood. It is this bond, and the dubious distinction of the Righteous Man, that will ultimately grant Dean access to where Castielâs grace languishes in Purgatory. However, what Dean brings back with him is broken, angry, and only half-angel, certainly not the Castiel he remembersâand nor is it the only thing that returns to Earth with themâŚ
The Shattered One by: MissAnnThropicÂ
When it struck Castiel, he was in mid-flight. It dropped him out of the sky like a sparrow buffeted by gale-force winds. Castiel set down the first place he could find. He ended up standing in a field in Switzerland, swaying on his feet and staring down at his body, dazed by what it had just done.Â
*There is a sequel to this, but I stopped reading about half way through so I canât recommend it officially as I havenât finished it. Itâs called The Unbroken Ones if youâre interested.
The Story Of You And Me by: the_diggler
Dean wakes up in bed next to a very human Castiel, and a journal in his own handwriting that tells him itâs two years in the future. The house looks a lot like Bobbyâs, and Sam lives there too⌠He just canât remember how they got from angels falling in the sky â to comfortable domesticity.
While there is much in the journal Dean doesnât remember, there is much of their story heâs always known. And as he settles into the routine of his new life and relationship with Castiel, it quickly becomes something he doesnât know how to live without.
Thursdayâs Child by: strangeandcharm
Thursdayâs child has far to go.
Tripping by: Hatteress
That time the universe decided Dean belonged with Cas and wasnât afraid to pull out the big guns to make it so. Big guns in this case being obsessive fangirls, archangels turned tricksters and overly enthusiastic cupids. Welcome to Deanâs life.
the world is ours to take by: casfallsinlove (tumblr link)
Dean was right about the heater; itâs one of the only things that works properly in this room, thirty years old as it is, and his skin prickles with the welcome heat as he strips off his jacket and t-shirt, shimmies out of his jeans. Down to only his underwear he stifles a yawn and crawls back into the nest of blankets Cas has created. His spot is long since cold but Casâs body is a furnace and he nestles his way in until he can rub his frozen nose on the back of Casâs neck.
