Hii!! Do you have any non-au spn fic recs?? If you answer this ask could you tag it as fic recs please? I’m avoiding last week’s episode’s spoilers so I’m basically avoiding tumblr, so I’ll just be checking the fic recs tag, if you don’t mind! Thanks in advance <3

Okay anon first let me tell you that this is all @treatlouwithkindness and she’s an angel (I’ve got angels watching over me!) Because I normally read AUs, but here’s a list we came up with. Also, whenever you’re ready, @starrynightdeancas does WONDERFUL canon codas and one shots, which are ALL worth reading!

So we got:

This post with a collection of fluffy canon fics which each diverge at a different point in canon

The Destiel Fan Survey Favs Collection from ao3 is moderated and has GREAT fics, both canon and otherwise

Tunnel of Love by xylodemon, 21k words, MOTW fic from 2015, so canon compliant up to that point! Sam Dean and Cas have to investigate a haunted carnival ride. Featuring an exasperated Sam and two very awkward idiots who refuse to communicate

Redemption Road is a crowd sourced MONSTER of a fic written in 2011 and finished in 2012 which logs just over 600k words (and yes I do mean six HUNDRED THOUSAND). It’s about mistakes and family and finding your way after you thought for sure it was over and all the people you thought you would be and the person you are instead and all the people that love you. Gorgeous!

Dean (and Cas’) Top 13 Zep Traxxxx by pantheon_of_discord - 82k words, written in 2017 so canon compliant up until that point. ROAD TRIP FIC!!! You know one thing I ADORE?? That’s RIGHT! Road trip fics!! Two emotionally constipated (read: scared) idiots, one 1967 Chevrolet Impala, and a whole lotta classic rock. Who wouldn’t love it???

My Roots Take Flight by KismetJeska - 126k words of sweet sweet reverse ‘verse! Canon compliant up to season 3 - Dean does indeed go to hell, but he’s been given the chance to become a guardian angel to win his freedom. The bad news? He’s stuck with some dude named Castiel in the nuthouse. But soon enough, Cas proves to be more than he seems. Featuring hunter!Cas, Ruby the demon (who I ADORE), and a wonderful Sastiel brOTP

This one is mine: for a while (it was love, wasn’t it) which is a rewrite of 15x20!
