Castiel’s POV Fics: Alternate Universe
We here at DestielFanFic love Castiel, Angel of Thursday, both in canon fic and in the diverse array of AU stories. Our angel is pretty amazing! Here are a few of our favorite incarnations of Castiel in alternate universe (AU) fics told from Cas’ point of view (POV). This list is not meant to be exhaustive. Instead we are highlighting fics that we personally enjoyed and we hope you enjoy them, too! Be sure to check out our Castiel’s POV Fics: Canon Verse as well!
