Hey DSD!

Nonny here, do have a list of any writers you would recommend and maybe even one or two of their fics?

Would love some more reading material and thank you so much if you do end up sharing with me.

Hi Nonny! Absolutely, I do! There are a ton of amazing writers, both here and on AO3, especially for Star Trek since it's such a long-standing fandom. I will absolutely list some of my favorites, but please do not be afraid to explore the tags both on AO3 and here on tumblr, because there are a ton of amazing writers that I haven't encountered yet, and I'm probably leaving some out unintentionally. (I'm so sorry! My memory is like that of a gnat at times!)

Also, on my pinned welcome post under the "Keep Reading" there's a link you can click that will (hopefully) take you to all the posts I've tagged on here as fic recs! So feel free to take a look at that too!

I highly recommend any/all stories by the following authors, and beneath their names I'll list 2-3 of my favorite stories from each:

[avanatural]

I am SO excited for this series! 😍 I'm so happy that you decided to share your talent with us! 💖

Spoilers under the cut! 😊

It was at the Winchester’s home that Y/N met Sam’s older brother, Dean. He was dreamy. His perfect face could be on the cover of a magazine. He was three years older than her, and had a bad boy attitude, but he was always nice to Y/N, making her feel welcome at his home. She found it very funny the way he liked to make fun of his little brother, calling him a nerd, even though he clearly was very proud of how much effort Sam put in his school work.

This is such a perfect introduction for Dean! 💗 Handsome, a bad boy attitude, kind, proud of Sam. Right off the bat, you capture his essence so well 😍🙌

What she didn’t know was that Dean liked her too. She was funny and really smart. They had the same taste in music and movies, and that was Sam’s favorite reason to make fun of them, especially when they would gather at the Winchester’s for a movie night, and Dean and Y/N always wanted to pick a gooey, trash horror movie. They would sit on the couch, in front of the TV, eating popcorn and the delicious cookies Y/N baked, and they would yell at the stupid characters who could never escape the monsters.

Aww! Their chemistry sounds wonderful! 💕 Watching trash horror movies and sharing snacks with Dean? Yes, please! 😁😊

The day after the boys got the news, when Y/N came by for her tutoring session with Sam, she noticed he seemed sad. He didn’t have that excited spark in his eyes, eager to learn like he always was. When she questioned what was wrong, he told her about his family moving away. She felt her stomach drop and her eyes burn with unshed tears.

Noo 😔 That had to be so painful for her after moving around so much herself 🙈 Feeling so comfortable with the boys and then finding out they're leaving. My poor heart! 💔

Then, Dean hugged her too and gave her a kiss on the cheek, thanking her for being so nice to his little brother and such a good friend to him.

So sweet! I love the way you write Dean *chef’s kiss* 💗 I can 100% picture him being grateful for Y/N tutoring Sam and being nice to him 😊

Dean noticed the boy and girl’s hands linked between them, and he couldn’t help but smile at the sight. He remembered when he was younger, taking girls he was dating to diners, bars and even restaurants, when he could help his dad and uncle Bobby at the shop and earn a couple more bucks.

I absolutely LOVE that you’re adding details like this 😍 It makes Dean seem so real and relatable. It’s lovely to get little insights like these while reading, it filles the story with life and makes the scenes SO enjoyable to imagine 😊💖

Dean approached the counter with his eyes glued to her. She was cleaning the counter’s glass surface. The woman irradiated a happy, carefree vibe. It felt like she was enjoying the simple activity of cleaning the counter. He almost felt jealous of her; there’s been a while since he felt this happy.

Ohhh, he’s smitten again 😉 I love that he doesn’t only notice her appearance, but also her vibe and demeanor 💞

“Y/N?” Dean was dumbfounded. She looked very different and yet, better.

“Well, I know I’m a bit different”, she stated, almost like she was reading his thoughts. “You, on the other hand, look almost the same.”

“Oh, yeah, except now I have wrinkles around my eyes that weren’t there when I was 19”.

I adore how lighthearted their first conversation feels after all those years! 😍 I almost squealed when he recognized her, so exciting!!! 😊

“He’s great. He’s a lawyer now, and the manager of our business. I’m the one who gets his hands dirty”, Dean chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. What the fuck, why did I say that?, he thought.

Awww, love me some shy Dean! He’s so cute 😍🙈

Y/N looked unbelievably beautiful. She had that cool vibe, with the tattoos and killer smile. Dean felt immediately drawn to her, just like he did all those years ago.

Ohhh, the flame is ignited again! 😏💘 And I love that Y/N has tattoos 😊

His hairstyle was practically the same, but now he had a stubble, more like a very short beard covering his strong jaw. It gave him a more manly appearance. It was sexy as hell, she had to admit.

That stubble is my weakness 🔥🔥🔥 I agree with our girl, truly sexy as hell! 😍

“Are you eating PB&J again, Dean? What about your diet?”, the woman on the other side of the phone call asked, not even bothering to say hi.

This is her first sentence and I’m already done with her 😂 Diet?? 😳

“I don’t need to lose weight. I don’t wanna lose weight. I’m perfectly fine with how I look. We’ve talked about it, honey. Dieting is your thing”. Dean was trying his best to remain calm, but it was very difficult, since he discussed the matter with Angelica, his fiancee, many, many times before.

Yes, go, Dean!! 💪 I love that he said he’s perfectly fine with how he looks. He should be 💗 I hope he doesn’t let her words get to him too much. I’m worried about him because apart from his looks, he already has a low sense of self-worth 🙈

“Yeah, of course I do! You had a huge crush on her, how could I not remember?”, Sam teased, making Dean’s eyes widen at his younger brother’s banter.

“A huge- She was your crush, not mine!”, Dean shot back, saying what he thought was the truth.

Ahh, I adore the brotherly banter! 😊 Sure, Dean, she wasn’t your crush 😉

“C’mon, Dean. You say it like fixing cars is an easy thing to do. You’re so good at it you own a chain of stores! That’s huge! If you were bad at what you do, you’d still be working at home, fixing the neighbors’ cars as you used to do when we were teens”. Y/N reassured, noticing Dean still had the habit of self-deprecating.

Yes, tell him, Y/N! 🙌😍 I love her! This is the kind of partner Dean deserves. I’m rooting for them so hard! 💖💖💖

“Really? I’m sorry she can’t see how much you accomplished. I mean, her daughter is a beautiful woman who has her own business, which is doing just fine, thank you very much. What else can she need?”. Dean flirted, again giving in to the urge of complimenting her.

Aww, it’s wonderful how supportive they are with each other! 💞 Flirty Dean is such a weakness of mine, too! Swoon! 😍 You capture his personality so well, I absolutely admire your way of writing him 😊

“And you, Dean Winchester, got even more handsome as you got older. How are you still single?”, she smiled shyly, looking at him from under her lashes.

It was Dean’s turn to blush. He looked like a kid getting caught doing something they shouldn’t. “I, uh… I’m actually not”, Dean raised his hand, showing his engagement ring.

Y/N felt the blood leaving her face.

Okay, I think you just made my blood leave my face, and I demand to know how you do that! Are you a witch or something? 😉 You’re making me feel what the characters are feeling with your writing, and I love that! ❤

He left, pissed at himself for having feelings for Y/N. Strong ones, that he was struggling to keep in check. He knew his flirtation gave her the wrong idea. Well, actually, it gave her the idea he wanted her to have. He was willingly trying to seduce her, which made him even more mad. He was with Angelica, and he should respect that.

Oh, Dean and his good heart 💗 I just want him to dump Angelica and be with Y/N. But I have a feeling you’re not gonna go that easy on us, my friend 😉

While he undressed, getting ready to shower, Dean stole a glance at the body length mirror, something he didn’t usually do, only to check his clothes before leaving the house. Naked, he stared at his body. I’m not fat, but I’m definitely not ripped like Sammy, he thought. He never had a problem with his appearance. In fact, he never gave it much attention. He knew he was considered handsome, and the women he’d gotten with before Angelica never complained about his looks. His body was working just fine. He had the energy to do his job every day without feeling overly tired, and in bed he could keep going for a long time, which he knew for a fact it wasn’t easy for many 40 year-olds.

But what if Angelica was right? What if he had to work out to prove to his fiancee how much he cared about her? Was it right, though? Was it OK for her to say how he should look? He was healthy. His last check up showed nothing wrong. Wasn’t she attracted to him anymore then?

The way you describe Dean’s doubts is soo good! 👏🏼 I love that he acknowledges that she is the first woman to complain about his appearance, while also noticing that he looks into the mirror with different intentions than before. The ambivalence is so well-described! 😊 I truly hope that Dean will see along the way that there’s no need to be self-conscious 🙈

After showering, Dean dressed in a Henley and sweatpants, watched a game on TV and went to sleep, pretty much convinced he was the problem in his failing relationship.

Nooo! This hurts 💔 He is definitely not the problem. You’re breaking my heart! 🙈

Whew! What a first chapter! 😊 I’m a little late to the party, but this is incredible and I’m looking forward to reading more about these two! 😍😍😍 Bravo, my friend! 👏🏼

Sweet Love - An AU!Dean x Reader fanfiction

Parings: AU!Dean x female!Reader; AU!Dean x Y/N; AU!Dean x Angelica (OFC); Sam x Jess

A/N: This is the first part of a multi-chapter series I’m currently working on. It will probably have around 5 chapters (maybe more). It’s also an Alternative Universe story, so there’s no hunting involved. I tried to keep the characters as canon as possible, though.
