Do you have any good Sam and Cas Fanfic recommendations?

oh hello anon, and thank you for your inquiry! i’m kind of embarrassingly unfamiliar with the sam&cas fic terrain, but i can rec a few stories that i enjoyed, from what i have read!

All Hail the Boy King (T, 3312, tagged Cas & Sam) is a short post-s3 au series that diverges from canon in how dean gets out of hell and why castiel ends up getting to know the winchesters. the atmosphere of this is wonderfully bleak and gothic...cas’s perspective especially i really like here, as he reads as very inhuman in his comparison of sam and dean in reality to what he expected of them

Flutter ‘Round His Eyes (T, 1432 words, tagged Cas/Sam) is a oneshot by the same author as All Hail the Boy King. bit softer, featuring sam’s s5 troubled sleep and castiel being strange and fond and protective

God’s Creation (T, 1784 words, tagged Cas/Sam) is a tour of cas’s views on sam s4-s7(ish? canon plot gets hazy for me after s5 eep), with a focus on sam’s mistakes and cas’s increasing appreciation for moral ambiguity. most of the fic i read is pretty dark so my tastes might be skewed, but i think this is a very sweet fic <3

Supplication (M for blood and sexual content, 3024 words, Cas/Sam) — s5e14 demon blood detox & the purifying effects of grace. cool vibes here, a little professional, a little growing fondness, a little reverent, a little uncertain, a little sexy...plus i’m a slut for blood drinking, what can i say ✌️

The Need of Endurance (M for violence and apocalyptic unpleasantness, 2896 words, Cas & Sam) — dark (no major character death or anything though), solitary boyking & bloodfreak sam, protective and helpful but distant cas

Consequentiality (T, 327 words, Cas & Sam) — charming short angsty little thing, dean-said-yes au, s5-style lucifer also featured

again, i really haven’t read too much in this corner of fandom, but i hope there’s something here you might like, anon!
