invisible string || outdean

chapters: 3

tags: au, fluff, cas works at a frozen yogurt shop, dean works at a grocery store, they’re both trying to claw their way out of minimum wage hell, pov castiel, pov dean, they go roller skaing, and do a “does he like me” quiz together, mutual pining, comfortably bisexual dean winchester

summary: dean hates frozen yogurt. It’s like the inferior version of ice cream. it tastes worse, and you can’t even buy it by the pint or save it in the freezer for very long. you have to stoop to the level of letting a tired employee watch you from their perch behind the counter while you fill up a container with whatever weird fruit flavor you choose that day. but damn if he doesn't like the guy selling it to him.

outdean my soul is yours! please come out of hiatus my love the kids miss you. i do plan on reading your entire collection (this is how i realized there is no word like discography for books) i am on my knees praying to you. this fic was so different from right where you left me yet you’ve managed to bewitched me body and soul.

invisible string is about finding love through the most unexpected way- your hellscape minimum wage job. in this story dean and cas are two twenty year olds lost-in-life losers (they’re so me coded). and it’s neat. :3 the story is only three chapters long but i really enjoyed every bit! they feel so realistic and make me feel more comfortable about also being a twenty-something year old just trying to figure it out and catch up with everyone else. i need more honestly i need more of them in chicago and visiting charlie and roadtripping to visit sam. i need this verison of dean and cas more than the canonical one.

any recs for fics like sobsicles’s? i’ve read all their stuff but i miss them

hi anon- I suggest works by fleeceframe, unicornpoe, lagaudiere, sleepyvan, and cenotaphy who are all currently putting out incredible stuff for the fandom right now (mostly post-canon!) I always keep an eye on their profiles looking for new releases! Here are some favs from those authors, though you cannot go wrong with anything written by them:

fleeceframe:

closer (isn't close enough) and the entire accompanying series, dean saves the world and now he gets to be happy

handlebars for tender touch

it's such a mystery (the way you know me)

in this louisiana bar

unicornpoe:

hold onto your voice, hold onto your breath

psalm 40:2

and you can use my skin

lagaudiere:

my heart a compass

fools and pilgrims

cenotaphy:

anamnesis

their entire series of season 15 fix-its (bring home is one of my all-time favs!)

sleepyvan

we'll find a new home (the costco fic!!!!!)

good times are calling

happy reading- and be sure to leave these authors some love! I absolutely adore all of them and they deserve the hype <3

playing with fire || anyrei, querewerewolf

rating: m

chapters: 13

tags: au — no spn, romcom, friends to lovers, friends with benefits, openly bisexual dean wincester, openly pansexual castiel, doctor!cas, firefighter!dean, porn with plot, bdsm, porn with feelings, sub!dean, dom!cas, aftercare, dean winchester has a panty kink.

summary: dean has known cas for close to 20 years and despite that dean knows close to nothing about his best friend’s sex life. other than his one rule- cas doesnt do relationships. so when dean discovers cas’ secret bdsm account dean’s curious demands he dives into the deep end- going as far as to stalk and message castiel. what starts off as what is supposed to be a no-strings-attached sexual relationship turns into a blurry mess between emotions and not being able to keep things purely in the bedroom.

*sigh of satisfaction and content* finally a fic thats the perfect length and satisfying 100% though. okay maybe 99%- I WANTED ANGST SUE ME!! but thats okay i’ve learned form the comments that anyrei & queerwerewolf’s other collab works tend to have a bit more angst. i really enjoyed their writing style. i just sped through it. i havent stayed up late to read fanfic in a long time so it felt really special to do so. okay so to talk about the topic of the fic lol! this is my first time reading fics with bdsm (im a big slut for smut tho) so i was a little nervous but . . . it felt tame LMAOOO okay okay yeah actually it did but i think im a bit desensitized. it was still super hot and smutty dont get me wrong. i was eating up the smut and it awoken something in me personally. (i wish we would have gotten the sex in the park scene) i love the mention of after care as well. i have no experience with bdsm so i didnt even know subdowns were a thing! i only knew of aftercare as a basic thing done after sex not the necessary aspect of it in bdsm. i also loved doctor!cas and firefighter!dean! i think i found this fic though the garth tag and let me say not enough garth. :( guys! we! need! more! garth! anyways my only note is that im not a big fan of the whole “and then they got married” aspects in fics (unless it relates to plot) i just think it feeds too much into the fantasy which i know is what fanfic is about but tbh i dont even like it in romcoms. i’ll definitely check out the prequel and sequel soo buuut think i might need some angst first!

tags: two deans one cas, multiple pov, time travel, timeline shenanigans, mutual pining, cas would fall in love with any and every verison of dean btw, dean has self esteem issues

it would’ve been nice to have had the angel’s healing mojo in the past to help with saving everyone else—all of the people they hadn’t been able to save. in particular, he can’t stop thinking about layla. the woman who should’ve been chosen instead of him. angels can do more than just heal people-they can travel back in time too.

cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things: supernatural creatures exist and he has to stop them from hurting innocent people, he has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; he keeps running into another hunter named dean winchester, who must be as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is.

last night on earth || tiptoeingwayfinder

words: 3,853

tags: smut, bottom!castiel, top!dean, 05x03

summary: after discovering tonight might be castiel’s last night on earth, dean is determined to get cas laid.

this fic gives such an early 2000’s fic vibe! i cant believe it’s only a year old lmaoo it kinda makes me nostalgic. i was curious about bottom!cas fics so i wanted to check this out . . . yeaaaaah cas is definitely a top. dean is just too much of a needy brat anyways tbh nothing special kinda skimmed most of it oops

stand by me || whelvenwings

chapters: 15

tags: zombie apocalypse, enemies to friends to lovers, slow burn, mutual pining, hurt/comfort, sharing a bed, touch starved dean,

summary: after spending so much time alone during the zombie apocalypse, dean is left miserable and touch starved. dean is quick to want to spread his misery when he bumps into the first human he’s seen in a long time- castiel. despite their dislike for one another, dean and castiel decide to stick together for the sole purpose of not being alone. slowly their companionship grows to be a bit more personal than just someone to keep you from going insane.

i started this fic a while ago and honestly got consumed by life and responsibilities so this fic took a step back in my priorities. i did enjoy it. from what i remember? tbh i only had a chapter left post break. i remember reading it before bed and thinking the chapters were bite size enough that i wouldnt be too tired by the end. there arent a lot of zombie apocalypse fics tbh (big surprise!) so i took my chances with this one and it didn’t disappoint.

any pacifier will do || questiel (quefish)

words: 790

tags: cockwarming, demon!dean, castiel’s angelic grace, 10x03, dom!castiel

summary: after capturing demon dean, castiel convinces sam to take a quick break before preforming a demon cleansing ritual while castiel restrains dean.

this was a lot shorter than i anticipated! i felt like it wasnt long enough for anything to really happen. but i do wish there was more demon!dean fics. demon!dean and castiel is such a hot and underrated concept like the shortage is really and i wont be convinced otherwise. anyways not as crazy as i’d imagine a demon!dean fic to be tbh LOL still enjoyed it?

the man who drank too much (and proposed to an angel) || black_cat_autumn

words: 2,766

tags: marriage proposal, drunk!dean, sam is so done, sam pov, crack

summary: after a hunt gone wrong, dean decides the best way to cope is to storm off. despite his annoyance, sam goes after dean- only to find him drunk at a bar convinced his best next course of action would be to propose to castiel.

i really enjoyed this fic! it’s silly and short tbh! but i think thats the main charm! i love that it’s from sam’s pov! i feel like it really fed into the teasing-annoyed-brother aspect we really missed out on since destiel didnt become canon in earlier seasons. i’m currently reading a heafty fic so this short one was really refreshing! i think i might need to jump back into one-shots! (also there are a few fics i haven’t gotten around to reviewing yet!) anyways i’d definitely recommend this one if youre searching for something simple that isnt serious and you just want to feel good!

dean winchester beat sheet || saltyfeathers

rating: explicit

chapters: 12

tags: college au, big gay crisis, a lot of sex, smut, gay dean, internalized homophobia, comphet, alcohol used as a coping mechanism.

summary: in his final year of college, dean’s got a lot of decisions to make. most importantly, which girl he’s going to do... right now. and later tonight. And the next night. when new transfer student castiel novak snakes his way into dean’s friend group, sean can’t help but see it as an infiltration. somethings is up with castirl, and he’s going to find out what. more accurately, he’s going to enlist his best and longest suffering hacker friend, charlie bradbury, to do it for him. not a single one of dean’s suspicions has anything to do with the fact that upon their first meeting, castiel insults his shoes, his general existence, and his masculinity by— looking at him like that.

“fine. i’ll do it. i’ll be your experimental college phase.”

for the whole thing being nothing but a subplot- I LOVED DWBS (wait but quick question- why is it called dean winchester beat sheet? did i miss when the beat sheet bit was mentioned?) i really did enjoy it. there is so much good that i can’t talk about without spoiling. look if you want spoilers-

i enjoyed comphet!dean which is crazy lmaooo but i enjoyed seeing this aspect of a fic. i’m realizing it’s a regular occuring trope. i like how everyone knew yet just remained quiet. seeing through dean’s fun house illusions. i felt for dean. not to flex but i was comfortable with my sexuality at a very young age so stories like this always seem to make my heart ache a little more. he was so scared when there was no reason to be. i loved cas. he had so much patience for dean despite being annoyed with him every once and a while. although always well earned and needed as it helped dean work through his sexuality more. also for you horny ppl, for a friends-with-benefits fic was a lot of sex and it was all really well written. thank you, salty feathers. (i will be checking out more fics)

also the college aspect, i graduated almost a year ago and tbh i miss college. i graduate a year earlier than i expected (damn another flex sorry guys) so i just love reading college aus right now.

also the way every bitch and there mama was in this fic was crazyyy. like . . . jo, charlie, aaron, pamela, benny, victor, cain, crowley. (i feel like we dont see enough crowley in au i need more crowley) okay maybe not every character but there was bitches i didn’t know expect but i definitely loved seeing!

also loved the thanksgiving chapter- might be my favorite- when we go visit bobby and ellen. it’s so sweet seeing cas in that environment. it reminded me of abandon all hope- the good half when they drink with cas and take a family photo.

satin and sawdust || ltleflrt

rating: explicit

chapters: 30

ship: dean/cas

tags: neighbors au, carpenter!dean, veterinarian!cas, bi!dean, cas thinks he straight, aromatic!meg, cas/meg besties with benefits, hetero sex, castiel & jimmy are twins, panty kink, cas has a panty kink, dean in panties, slow burn, friends to lovers, pining, cataloger!dean, multiple pov, switch!cas, switch!dean

summary: After moving out of Jimmy's house and investing into a fixer-upper cas finds himself struggling to maintain his home. lucky for cas, his new neighbor dean is a handyman who is more than willing to help. cas knows dean has a bit of a crush on him, but he's not really taking advantage of the poor guy. dean's a great guys and quickly becomes an even better friend. however things get a little complicated for cas when he gets a flash of satin under dean's tool belt.

satin and sawdust was a lengthy fucker. fully enjoyable. i ate this fic up like a little dessert at the end of the day. it’s definitely an au in the sense that dean and cas could be replace by any lil gays and it’ll still work the same but i dont think that took away from the story. i enjoy au fics because it’s the same two ppl falling in love over and over again. the writing was very well done. the only buzzkill was sam being married to jody?! but it was written in 2016 and that kinda makes it excusable. i love meg’s aromantic representation! i felt like we got enough of everyone and everything- fluff, smut, angst, build up, panty kink, cat appreciation. i wasnt a panty kink uhh appreciator(?) when i started but i started to see the appeal after awhile. especially since it’s a canon kink of deans LOL! omfg *spoilerr* i gotta spoil because of how uncomfortable it was but cas . . . he sniffs dean’s panties which felt invasive and a bit pervy but- >.< i liked it okay i found it to be acceptable and not too disturbing. i also love seeing fics where dean is confident in his sexuality- dean’s bi in this fic- and i love how it’s just a part of who he is.

ps- we need more catlover!dean fics everytime ford and hamill were mentioned i just thought of my own cat which was pretty neat. :D

and this, your living kiss || opal_bullets

rating: explicit

audio length: 7 hr. 5 min.

ship: dean/cas

tags: poetry, writer!dean, professor!castiel, college au, john winchester's a+ parenting, mentions of past prostitution, mentions of cancer, angst with a happy ending

summary: after years of no longer writing poetry under the name jack allen, dean begand to crave a sense of being alive again. he suddenly decides to move in with sam and elienne, along with their son jack. searching for answers dean reaches out to his old mentor, missouri moseley, who recommended dean to audit an advanced college course in poetry taught by professor castiel novak. who happens to not only be devastatingly handsome and see something in dean, but happens to also be academic’s expert on jack allen.

um does anyone have any poetry recommendations? i’m searching for the similar highs i get from hearing jack allen’s poems. read this fic. read this fic. read this fic. actually- listen to it instead! atylk is known as a classic deancas fic- AND ITS FOR A REASON! i loved it found myself shrieking and talking to myself out of pure excitement as i listened. (god bless podfics!) i’ll definitely listen to it again in the future. xx

a couple of first || faithlesshunter

rating: explicit

words: 6,179

ship: dean/cas

tags: workplace au, dean smith, dom!cas, sub!dean, praise kink, panty kink, begging, bdsm, butt-plug.

summary: when cas decided to give this whole 'sex with a stuck-up colleague' thing a try he didn't even dare to think it'd be this great.

it’s alright. like the smut isnt giving what you imagined it’d give (unless ive become a bit desensitized— but i doubt) it’s a cool premise. super uptight dean smith loves being smacked around by the low-level it hire who gives major stoner vibes. i love the concept. i love fics with dean in high position jobs— i appreciate the firefighter aus, and the mechanic aus, and the carpenter aus (shout out satin and sawdust- im on chapter 23) but my man would kill it in a position where he is in control of others and has to manage projects and run his fucking company like the marines. also dean winchester would love high quality and expensive suits. anyways~ yeah the fics cool. i wont read again though but i’ve probably never reread any fic so is it really saying much?

[virtu4l-archieve]

the dummies guide to hand-holding for buddies || minxyone93

audio length: 59 minutes

tags: 09x06, heaven can’t wait, canon divergence, fix-it, human!cas, platonic cuddling, hurt/comfort, resolved angst, no beta we die like sams wig

summary: while still dealing with the rejection of being kicked out of the bunker, cas is faced with an unbearable ache of loneliness. dean sees right through cas and he struggles with his own guilt of leading cas down this road. dean attempts to help cas to asylum through platonic physical affection.

i loved the angst in this fic. i think a lot about how dean kicked cas out when he was human. and as a first-tike human that must have been overwhelming and soul crushing for cas. it’s literally the only time he’s human in all ten seasons he’s in. dean’s guilt felt sincere. i can’t remember if dean ever apologized or admitted to feeling bad but i wouldn’t be shocked if he said nothing. the angst was perfect which built the best lead up for the fluff. they both just wanted to comfort the other after so long of hurting.

note: i’ve know about podfics for a long time already i just always found them super inconvenient since they’re kind of hard to find and listen to. that was until my smart little brain decided to check on spotify since audibooks are a thing on there now and idk maybe someone’s smart enough to upload there. and someone is- nerdynerdenstein has created a podcast making it up as we go they’ve got over 100 podfics so honestly i owe them my life and my first born.

ps~ the tag no beta we die like sams wig is underrated and needs to become mainstream.

never praying away || sillynegan

rating: explicit

words: 1,347

ship: dean/cas

tags: priest!cas, demon!dean, male lactation, castiel has big tits, porn without plot, uhh crack?

summary: castiel is a priest doing a last check of the church when he finds a demon named dean praying for his sins. he then seduces castiel.

woah… finally fell victim to the not checking all the tags trope. wasnt expecting male lactation and castiel having tits but hey that’s on me tbh. i mainly fell into this fic because of priest!cas. um well yeah . . . this is a fic that exist. very short and sorry to say- i wouldn’t recommend it. should have taken the red flag of “preist” being misspelt more seriously.

[virtu4l-archieve]

taking one for the team Il artichokeflower

rating: explicit

ship: dean/cas

tags: (emotional) hurt/comfort, sex worker dean winchester, kink exploration, john winchester’s a+ parenting, established relationship, cas pov, porn with feelings.

summary: a case comes up that dean seems to have a connection with that he doesn’t remember. all he recalls is waking up besides a dumpster wearing a silk, green robe. with the aid of cas, dean slowly brings to surfaces memories that have been wiped away. bring along with it complicated feelings and hidden truths.

this fic was really good. very well written and honestly its smut but it didn’t feel sexual because of the topic. i find it sweet and realistic how cas doesn’t care about dean’s past work or relations- only caring when it bothers dean. i always imagined cas to not be the jealous type. i think the way dean can be blunt and harsh with cas is also soo realistic- i always felt like dean might still behave a bit toxic if they got together. but more because of how he was raised to be hothead and defensive.

i love artichokeflower’s work- i’ve read all three of their fics and keep wanting more.
