2024 Recommended Fics - Incomplete List

Here's my start at an end of year round up. If you're looking for a specific kind of fic or trope, let me know, and I'll try to find something for you! I have many, many more I could add, and what I've included is in no particular order.

I didn't list the rating or warnings with this because it just got too long, and honestly, I'm lazy. Read at your own risk.

A. fragilis by eachainn @eachainn

This is quite simply the best fic I've ever read. Do not continue until you read this one!

150 million years ago, an Allosaurus finds a stranger had wandered into his territory and he wants the intruder out.

1878, the middle of what will become known as the Bone Wars between O.C. Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope. Castiel Novak is transporting fossils from the latest dig in South Dakota back to Yale. He has to be careful, because there are people who work for Professor Cope who would gladly take the fossils off of his hands.

Those Who Get in the Way of Peace by ladyofthelake17 @ladyofthe-lake

“Don’t make me an optimist. You will ruin my life.”

Dean Winchester finally has his shit together: business is booming at his auto repair shop, he's eating healthy (okay, he's eating salad with bacon bits), he's exercising (in a cemetery). He's single, but he's claiming it as a good thing. And so what if Sam's not talking to him? So what if his dad is marrying an insane artist? And so what if the priest marrying them is hot as hell with a name that sounds like a sin just to say it — Castiel?

AKA: another Fleabag fic, but maybe it'll have a happy ending. Maybe.

Illicit Ink by allmystars @allmystars-i

Dean Winchester has a secret. He does this thing maybe two or three times a week, and he loves it, don’t get him wrong, but… He’s a camboy, and that’s not exactly something he wants shared around the breakfast table. When Dean decides he needs a change, it’s nothing too drastic, just a tattoo. But the hot-as-sin tattoo artist he gets to do the job might just change everything.

Ground Control to Major Tom by MrsShinigamiDaiko @mrs-shinigami-daiko

Dean Winchester dreamed of being a mechanic all his life, but he never thought he would end up working as a mechanic for NASA and going into space. He is thrust into his first ever space mission after a strange lunar body, dubbed Luna-b I, mysteriously appears in Earth’s sky. Teams of astronauts scramble up to the permanent lunar base and begin analysis to determine if the blue orb is any threat to mankind. Most of the first team is sent home after a few months, nearly all of them having fallen ill with devastating cases of space sickness. As time goes on, it becomes clear that something altogether unnatural is going on here. Dean feels like he’s losing his mind as he and his crewmates also begin to succumb to sickness. He races to figure out what could possibly be the root cause. Is Luna-b I really just some weird, deep space rock that got caught in the Moon’s orbit by chance? Or is it something much more sinister, watching and waiting for the opportune moment?

Pinfall by crowleyo @crowleyo

Cas runs the family diner with his adopted son, Jack. His old high school flame rolls into town and he thinks he can just step back into Castiel's life. Well... He's kind of right.

This Impossible Happiness by FriendofCarlotta @friendofcarlotta

In one universe, Dean Winchester is pushing thirty. He’s just danced at his little brother’s wedding, he likes his job at the garage, and he goes on the occasional hunt with friends and family. He’s also desperately lonely for someone to share his life with. One day, he finds a mysterious package outside his door. It contains a news clipping about an urban legend that just might be real, and a book by Professor Castiel Novak, who happens to specialize in that same urban legend.

In another universe, Castiel Novak’s roadside motel is slowly dying, its business hollowed out by the interstate system. Dean Winchester, the man who asked him to run away together years ago, is only a painful regret these days. Until the day a mysterious letter Castiel doesn’t remember writing brings Dean back to his doorstep.

Out there in the multiverse, a man and an angel look for each other in all the wrong places. In the meantime, they might as well help a few other versions of themselves figure things out.

Then Comes the Rain by someonetoanyone @someonetoanyone-blog - a three part series

“I’m not looking forward to it,” Rowena tells him, as though that will absolve her of anything, “he may have a better solution for this, but the spell requires a smidge of spilled Grace. He’ll need to be hurt for this to work, and — Dean, all joking aside, you may be the only person fit to do this.”

“Oh, this’ll be great — go ahead, tell me why I’m the only one that can get butt-fucked to save the world.”

Mind Your Own Business by BunnyHunter

While the ability to overhear the secret thoughts of the people around him was distracting at best and anxiety-inducing at worst, Castiel had found ways to cope that included a pair of noise-canceling headphones and burying himself in his PhD research. After hearing inner thoughts for his entire life, there were very few things he overheard that surprised him anymore. So imagine his shock when his roommate Sam's brother, Dean, came to stay with them. While Dean may have been able to keep a straight face on the outside, his inner thoughts told a much different story.

Survivalism by bleuzombie @bleuzombie

Genetic engineers Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester are on the verge of a breakthrough in cancer treatment and possibly even a cure, using genetic manipulation and incredibly, shark DNA.

Following a devastating diagnosis of brain cancer, and amid growing pressure from his boss, Dick Roman, for results, Castiel is pushed to an act of desperation. He tests the cure on himself with disastrous and violent results.

He has never been so hungry.

Dean Winchester’s half-way house for orphaned half-monsters (and humans) by foolondahill17 @foolondahill17

What if Dean just kept every kid he’s ever interacted with?

A re-write of season 6 onwards in which Dean slowly collects every conceivable stray that crosses his path.

The eyes of a lamb by naughtystiel @naughtystiel for Shedar

The year is '98 and Spring is approaching fast. For most, the season is a symbol of new beginnings with Mother Nature’s chaste kiss that breathes life into everything once more. It's inspiring, peaceful and beautiful. So, the fact that this is exactly when a certain serial killer loves to strike makes Detective Winchester's blood boil. Two years in a row now, the guy has slipped through his fingers, not leaving a single trace behind. No clues, no leads, just murdered women in the most picturesque places imaginable. And the worst thing of all? Sometimes Dean catches himself admiring the killer's work.

where there is darkness by quiettewandering @quiettewandering @wanderingcas 

When Castiel Milton takes a job to be the new assistant keeper at Whaleback Lighthouse in Kittery, Maine, he expects to live out his new life in quiet isolation. What he gets instead is Dean Winchester: bitter, brash, and, like Castiel, harboring a dark secret. As the spark of attraction between them grows into a flame, the lighthouse walls start closing in—as do the ghosts of Dean and Castiel's checkered pasts.

Ohhhhh, this is great already!!! The setup of David being an astronaut and the longing from both Emma and Killian is just sooooo powerful and fascinating!!!! Cannot wait for more!!!

The Astronaut's Daughter

Throwing this one out here for the world to see and hopefully, it will spur my muse to actually get some more words down for this.

Thanks to @jrob64 for beta reading this some time ago.

And another thanks go out to @motherkatereloyshipper who helped make the manip of David Nolan in a space suit. I could never make it look as awesome as her.

Read on FF.NET and AO3

This is a sim for #elliescc @mylittlesimcorner 31-day Simblreen CAS challenge, an alien sim in the Scientist career who decides to switch to the Astronaut Career! She had a lot of achievements as a scientist but hit a roadblock when she went in search of the rare UFO plant. Being a scientist can only take you so far; so she hopped in a rocket ship and reached for the stars!

Day 29 theme:

🚀🌌Alien🥽🧪

So far, she's found a way to get to the planet of Sixam! She was born there but her family left when she was still a baby, a galactic war that broke up many families and forced them to migrate to Earth. Now that she's able to come back as an adult, Sixam definitely feels like a home she's never been to. Perhaps plant samples weren't the only thing she was missing in her life.

Astronaut Dean and the alien creature that found him floating around, trying to fix his broken down space ship~

@codenamefinlandia suggested astronaut Dean and Cas floating in space.

"Uhh guys? It's a bit hard to eat ice cream when you're squishing me."

Aye aye Captain! We ended up settling on Ice Cream and Cuddles, the cuddles were "Mandatory" according to the moon duo as 'emotional compensation'. Poor MK couldn't fit on the couch, but he got the bigger half of the Popsicle to make up for it. Chang'e and Macaque are still pouty and MK is still a bit out of it but I'm sure they'll be back to normal and ready to have fun with everyone again soon! ^w^

I woke up to the plagiarism drama over at @lovelylittlelevity ... In the realm of levity behind the scenes the moon duo aren't happy lol. Macaque is pacing and ranting about how his line makes no sense out of the trailer/game's context. MK was staying over with me to help with his sprite work and is now going through it. I'm in awe of the fact that the game has spread enough that this happened while also laughing because this is insane. Chang'e is upset that her line was stolen for an OC and wasn't even used for her. All in all, a silly doodle of various behind the scenes reactions to if the characters found out they were being copied.

Text reads: "What is my life??? X,D" "hehehe" "Pft-HA!" "I JUST WOKE UP"

HOW A CATHOLIC PRIEST GOT CLOSER TO HEAVEN

Recently, I was told by Bill Kraus that his father a SR 71 navigator and RSO and a SR-71 Pilot, Tony Bevacqua and four or five other crewmembers would go to the chapel and pray every day they were blessed and protected by God because no Air Force officer was killed in the line of duty flying the SR 71

The actual unofficial top speed of the SR 71 is 3.52. This happened because of the urgings of a Catholic priest!

SR-71 pilot Tom Alison said, “My God, Padre, what more do you want?

I came within 5degrees of burning up this entire airplane! “What more do you want? The Father wanted to make sure that he broke the official record of the fastest speed in the SR 71 that’s what he wanted. Father Hesburgh was used to asking for a lot and getting it. Father Theodore Hesburgh, President of Notre Dame, was an aviation buff. He was hooked after a flight in a barnstormer’s stunt plane at the age of 10 that his Dad paid five dollars for. In his autobiography, he wrote that He has logged nearly three million miles in the air, flying in exotic aircraft such as an F14-Tomcat, a Torpedo Bomber, a Weather Plane, and many more. He also broke the sound barrier several times, flew into a volcanic crater, and piloted a naval bomber over the Pacific despite having no formal flight training. But he wanted more. The ultimate prize would be to fly in the world's fastest airplane and break the current record. That record was set in 1976 at 2193 mph.

President Carter was thanking the Roman Catholic priest for his Goodwill accomplishments; he asked Hesburgh is there anything I could do for you? President Carter recalled the moment Hesburgh asked for the favor: “I said, ‘Fr. Hesburgh, it’s not customary for civilians to ride on a top-secret airplane.’

He said, ‘That’s all right. I thought you were Commander-in-Chief.’”

Two days later, Hesburgh got a call from the Air Force’s chief of staff. He was to report to the Beale Air Force Base, CA, to undergo a training regimen and series of rigorous tests. After passing the physical and psychological examinations administered to astronauts, Hesburgh had to learn how to operate every instrument in the back seat: navigational equipment, radios, and dozens of gauges and meters. He was then put through situational training for various emergency scenarios, including ejection and equipment failure. Father Hesburgh was possibly the oldest VIP to get a ride in the SR 71. He was 61. A close rival for this title would be Senator Barry Goldwater. He was 60 when he got his VIP ride in 1969.

On February 28, 1979, Hesburgh and the pilot, Major Tom Alison, prepared for their attempt to break the Blackbird’s speed record. The priest wanted to push it to the limit..

After cruising at 30,000 feet just under the speed of sound, Allison and Hesburgh dove 5,000 feet and broke the sound barrier. They then turned their nose upwards and rocketed past 80,000 feet, accelerating through Mach 3. As Hesburgh watched the speedometer, the Blackbird pushed past 2,200 miles per hour, breaking the plane’s speed record.

In his autobiography, Hesburgh said that when he’d landed, he “asked Tom if he had pushed the plane as fast as it would go.” Allison responded, “My God, Padre, I went within five degrees of burning us up. What more do you want?”

Hesburgh fulfilled a lifelong dream — he set an unofficial airspeed record in the world’s fastest airplane, an SR-71 Blackbird. This became the Father's proudest accomplishment, a story that he told over and over again to his friends. This is a truly remarkable story about a man who asked for an almost impossible task and received it!

More space boys (in love)

[ltleflrt]

I mentioned to my coworker that I've been a guest on a couple podcasts, and even though he knows nothing about the subject, of destiel, or fanfiction, and definitely not both, he decided he wanted to listen to one. I ended up giving him the link to the mixtape book club episode I was on. He asked me what a "prompt" is, and is now obsessed with coming up with something that I've never heard of before so I'll write it. And a destiel themed one, at that.

It's very cute, but I don't take prompts lol... I think I might start compiling a list of all his ideas and putting them online for other people to write instead.

Today's prompt: Dean and Cas are the astronauts currently stuck in space because of Boeing's bullshit, and they both think they're straight, but it turns out they're not as straight as they thought.

[thevioletcaptain]

Really want to give you 69 for the song prompt thing but I will take it seriously and go with my actual numbers: 5 and 29

(you don't have to do both, I'm just giving options. Or maybe they fit together well! Who knows)

Thank you! And guess what?

Far Above The World #5 - Space Oddity by Ramin Djawadi (Bowie cover)

It's almost 1am when Dean's cell rings, and Jack says "Don't be mad" the second he answers. Seeing as he thought Jack was sleeping until five seconds ago, Dean's not making any promises.

"What's going on?"

"Um… y'know my friend Elliot?"

"Uhuh."

"And… you know what the ISS is?"

Dean squints.

"What'd you do?"

"I kinda… flew him here for his birthday? But the astronauts saw, and they're freaking out, and Elliot is—"

Dean pulls the phone away from his ear. Stares at it a moment before holding it out toward a barely-conscious Cas.

"Hey, babe? This one's all you."

Let's try and move on from the Virgil-focused sims posts, shall we xD Haha, here's what's happening with the rest of the fam; :D

I got Alan aged up :D They went on vacation to celebrate, as you do-! Haha.

After they got home, I got bored and downloaded a height slider mod. So, after I booted up the game again-... Their icons had me giggling for five minutes after I got out of CAS, oml- x'D I'm giggling again after documenting this haha! (I've edited them the slightest since I got these images, just to make their heights a little bit more accurate >w<)

I forgot when you age-up teens to adults, they graduate! Alan was apparently the highest achieving student in class so, he got to give a Valedictorian Speech c: Lookit his proud older brothers!! (dunno where Virgil wandered off to x'D)

(I haven't played through High School Years enough - the entire graduation ceremony is actually so cute, oml ;w;)

The young'uns went to the beach one day while Scott and John were at work and-.... oh no... welp, guess Gordon's a mermaid now. (with a cc orca tail, heehee >w<)

They got a doggo!! Meet Buster; the goodest boi! (don't worry; there usually is always at least one of them home to take care of him c:)

Some career stuff~: -*Scott did finally get promoted enough that he is actually a pilot now. No more of that 'airline employee' or 'travel assistant' stuff x'D He can go nyoom in planes :3 -*John has a work rival. Things are going, great for him... >w< (I made him socially awkward and clumsy so, you can imagine how that's going- lol) -*While working in the Aquarist career, Gordon has a developed a hatred against seafood so... anything the others make with fish in it, he gets icky after eating it >w< -*Alan's not yet reached astronaut level. He's two-weeks out of aging up so, he has to suffer through being a Food Service Cashier first x'D -*Virgil's still living life being a stay-at-home painter in his studio. He's started selling some of the wood sculptures he makes too c:

And... that's actually about it x'D Not much else has happened. Maybe I need to make them go do something spontaneous haha
