The absolute last thing Dean would ever admit, after saving Cas' life, is that it was all thanks to the unhealthy amount of time he spent reading about drowning on Wikipedia. Not that he's not grateful, but what he really needs is an instruction manual for everything that comes after.
Something I’ll never shut up about is how eclectic this fandom can be. Considering we have access to over 100k fics on ao3 alone, you can find a fic for pretty much any flavor of fic you’re looking for. And that can include a range of fics that go from crack!fic to fluff, the the worst kind of angst you can imagine, and everything in between.
On Drowning is one of those in between fics that is able to provide a healthy dose of angst along side some of the best in character Dean writing you could ask for in a story. Dean’s internal struggle with what his feelings for Cas mean, and what he thinks they could never be brought me to tears, and the soft ending left me satisfied for all of them and what their future could hold.
I strongly suggest taking caution with the topic since it is graphically depicted in the story, but if that’s not an issue, you’re in for a wonderful read.
