#destiel au series

[bitchassangels]

destiel college au where sam is actually the first one to meet cas in like a gender studies class or something at stanford and they become bffs before sam eventually introduces cas to dean who is—at first—very unnerved by this new guy who doesn’t seem to blink often enough and also can’t maintain a normal amount of eye contact with anyone to save his life. but sam is like ‘oh c’mon dean, cas is cool i swear. just give him some time to open up’ and so dean agrees to be patient with him and eventually wouldn’t you know it they’re all three thick as thieves. and then months later sam’s afternoon poli sci class or whatever is cancelled so he gets home earlier than usual which dean and cas did not account for and has the great misfortune of witnessing his big brother in the throes of passion with his BFFL castiel and he wants to vomit immediately profusely everywhere because ew gross how could they. and then he thinks ‘wait. how long have they been fucking behind my back?’ so once dean and cas shuffle out of dean’s room fully clothed but bright pink and embarrassed beyond measure he pokes and prods until he gets all the details of how they got together and he holds it over their heads forever. and of course he’s happy for them because how could he not be but also who is he to pass up on the free ammunition like that. he’s still the youngest sibling it’s only natural. so anytime either of them get annoyed with sam he’s just like ‘sure yeah but who do you have to thank for your eternal love? me. so what if i forgot to get pop tarts at the grocery store, dean. try eating a breakfast with actual nutrients for once’ and nobody really has anything to say to that bc sam is right

If you haven't read it already:

Here's the first chapter of my Destiel AU fic! And here's the photo that goes with it (there'll be one for each chapter because I'm that insane and it's a great way for people who don't have the chance to do so to travel):

Also just to let you know, I'll post the next chapter tomorrow.

Dean has always been the good guy. He made the hard decisions and rose to the occasion whenever his family needed him. He became a parent way too soon after the deaths of John and Mary Winchester along with Sam’s big oops moment. Resettling his entire life to Beaufort, NC for the sake of those he loves the most.

Now at 25 an opportunity to finally be good to himself has been delivered in the form of one gorgeous Castiel Novak. The new arrival to town is the worst driver Dean has ever seen. As the eldest Winchester strives to overcome several bumps along the road of life can he also help Cas to steer towards a happily ever after with him or will Novak’s turbulent past cause them to crash and burn?

In other words a BDSM love story.

Title:  Stairwell Drums

Series: Supernatural B-Sides

Author:  BJ

Fandom:  Supernatural

Warnings: Major Character Death

Rating:  Gen

Pairing:  Castiel/Dean Winchester, Eileen Leahy/Sam Winchester

Synopsis: Dean in the dark, denying himself the luxury of grief.

Tags:  Dean Winchester, Castiel, Sam Winchester, Eileen Leahy, Angst, Songfic, Not Destiel, Post-Series, AU

AN:  Song is "When The Levee Breaks," written by Kansas Joe McCoy and Memphis Minnie, covered by Led Zeppelin on 'Led Zeppelin IV.' This is a scene from an AU fic that's unfortunately dead in the water due to plot malformation, but by God I'm proud of this and I want to show it off (so there, myah). In this AU, Eileen survived and Miracle the dog was renamed Pouteen for poutín, Irish unaged spirit. All recognizable intellectual properties are owned by their respective creators and holders of any copyrights or trademarks. This is a not-for-profit work of fan art and protected by Fair Use.

---

“Because the one thing I want . . . it's something I know I can't have.”

Dean sat at the kitchen table, in the dark, whiskey to hand but not drinking it.

“But I think I know . . . I think I know now.”

The words again. The soundtrack of his life now, beating like the stairwell drums in “When The Levee Breaks,” pounding and relentless.

“Happiness isn't in the having, it's in just being."

Weird that in that moment, just before the Empty took him away forever, he’d looked both the most and the least human Dean could ever remember. He’d looked at peace. True peace, not just the relief of someone who’d accepted that everything would be over soon.

“It’s in just saying it.”

Don’t say it, he wanted to beg, as the nightmare that was really a memory unfolded. ‘If it keeps on raining, the levee’s gonna break . . .’ Unspooled, like a film he’d give anything not to watch. Please don’t say it, please don’t--

“I know how you see yourself.”

“You don’t,” Dean muttered to himself, there in the dark. ‘If it keeps on raining, the levee’s gonna break . . .’

The kitchen light snapped on. “What’s going on?” Eileen yawned, crossing to the breadbox and pulling out the bag of chips. Pregnancy had turned her into a Cool Ranch Doritos fiend. Pouteen paced at her feet, either hoping for stray chips or in his capacity as official tummy guardian. He couldn’t seem to get enough of resting his head on Eileen’s still-flat stomach.

Dean didn’t answer. Part of him was waiting for the dream to play out. Part of him was always waiting for the dream to play out. Part of him always would. Like if he just . . . remembered it hard enough he’d somehow change the ending.

“The very touch of you corrupts.”

Another memory, that angel wearing the enraged blonde woman out to snatch Kevin -- another one of his great sins, there should be a Dean tablet, a Break Dean In Case He Fucks Up And Kills Us All Again. ‘When the levee breaks, have no place to stay . . .’

Eileen sat across from him with a bowl of chips. She reached down and scratched Pouteen between the ears. “Are you all right Dean?” she asked.

“Yeah, fine. Just couldn’t sleep,” he tried from the impossible distance. He’d told Sam about the Empty consuming Billie and Cas, but not . . . that. Not what Cas had done to summon the Empty’s awareness.

Eileen just stared at him, crunching on a chip. Then she reached out and took the whiskey bottle away from him. Her fingers went into the empty space in Dean’s hand. “You don’t have to lie to me,” she said.

Dean opened his mouth to repeat himself, the way he’d done every sleepless night since he was six and Dad had armed him against the nightmares. Instead a choked sound coughed out of his throat.

“Everything you have ever done -- the good and the bad -- you have done for love.”

Don’t, Cas please, don’t say it, don’t leave me, please. So he’d wanted to scream. So he should have screamed. ‘Crying won’t help you, prayer won’t do you no good . . .’

Eileen got up and crossed to Dean’s side. She put her hand on his shoulder and something inside him cracked. Dean seized her and buried his face against her belly, right where his future niece or nephew grew. Getting his filth on the poor thing before it was even born and he still couldn’t stop.

“You changed me, Dean.”

“It’s Castiel isn’t it? Sam says he hears you say his name in your sleep.”

Dean nodded, trying to at least snivel quietly. He felt Eileen holding him close, like he wasn’t dirty. Like he hadn’t gotten everyone he’d ever loved killed sooner or later. Defilement like ink he’d left marking their skins.

“Chaos and tragedy will follow you every day of your life.”

‘Crying won’t help you, prayer won’t do you no good . . .’

“He said he loved me,” Dean confessed.

Eileen pushed at his shoulder. Her hand tipped his chin up. Her big brown eyes locked onto his lips, and Dean heard himself say it for the record. “He said that he loved me.”

“Of course he did,” Eileen said, like it was plain obvious and not the worst crime he could possibly commit. Her eyes held no edge of anger or judgement. She kept holding him, comforting him even though he didn’t deserve it, wasn’t entitled to it, and she shouldn’t even be breathing his same fucking air.

“When Castiel laid his hand on you in Hell he was lost!”

Dean had no right to grieve, not after everything. Not after this. The best person he’d ever known, the one who’d always loved him the most selflessly, and all he could do as the Empty took that one away was stand there like a fucking asshole.

“The Empty won’t let him go without a fight, and a fight like that, nothing would survive. Castiel wouldn’t want that, and you know it. Better than anyone, you know it.”

“I’ve tried darling but the Empty won’t negotiate. I’m sorry.”

All he could do is watch it happen, over and over. Listen to his own silence. ‘When the levee breaks, mama you got to move . . .’

"I am the one who gripped you tight and raised you from Perdition.”

“You should have left me there.” ---

AN2: That Castiel was in love with Dean is so obvious I'm amazed it's a point of contention. Dean's feelings, in my opinion, are more complicated.

Supernatural Fanfiction

Balance And New Beginnings by Hekate1308

Dean turns his back on his family and the legacy of the Men of Letters when he learns Sam and Mary have been working with their British counterparts behind his back. Joining Cas on good-old-fashioned hunting trips, occasionally aided by Crowley, he soon learns there are more good monsters out there than he ever thought possible. And they need a protector.

Meanwhile, Sam is growing more and more lonely until one day, he looks in the mirror and doesn’t recognize the man staring back at him. Is it too late to return to the brother he’s let down so many times before?

My Season 12 AU series as one long fic, edited for coherency and a few added scenes.

what's the backstory on the destiel gifsets you made, what happened between them 👀 🎤

i'm so glad you asked! because i will be making a flashback gifset (or 2? not sure yet) of when they last saw each other, as well as a few gifsets following the fancy party. so you will definitely learn what went down between them and where their relationship and the plot is heading moving forward. 

i'd like to thank gotham knights and spnwin for giving us such awesome visuals to work into these fandom edits. we the shippers owe you so much! 😚💋

“If you could see your soul…” Cas says as his fingers trace the contours of Dean’s face feather-light, his eyes roving over his features. The awe in his voice sends a shiver racing down Dean's spine, his toes clenching beneath the sheets.

“My soul?” he asks, breathless.

“Yes,” Cas says earnestly, locking eyes with him again. “It is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.”

Dean can feel his body flush hot in embarrassment. He squirms.

“Cas—”

“I mean it, Dean,” Cas says, cupping Dean’s face in his palm, catching his gaze. “Even after all you went through in hell, your soul still shines so brightly, still radiates with love.”

"I can't hear you anymore, though," he whispers. "Can't see you either."

Admin Michelle here with another SPNFanFicPond Fic Highlight!! Belated Happy Birthday to SPNisthewayoflife!!

Dean and Cas in this epic series are the fluffiest damn murder husbands EVER! Like, they're fantastic dads, who gross out their kids by being smoochy all the time, and yet they are the fiercest heads of a Russian mob that takes no prisoners. This world is well-built, including all our favorites from SPN, and Dean and Cas are just HAWT together, too!!! Everything is great until an old enemy resurfaces to try and take it all away from them. Naturally, they won't stand for that.

I have a sweet spot for Cas being Russian and speaking Russian, even though I don't understand a word of it, and this fic hit that button for me, thoroughly! Ugh. He's so hot when he's mad in Russian! *SWOON*

In short, if you want to see the fluffy kitties get hot and heavy while covered in the blood of their enemies, this is the fic for you!!!

Tem Semya by Mydestielbabies_67

Part one of The Winchester-Novak Chronicals!

On the outside, Cas and Dean are the picture perfect couple; nice house in the suburbs, white picket fence, 3 kids and a dog. They love hosting Sunday family dinners, teasing Sammy about the length of his hair, living life to the fullest

But they are also the Heads of Chicago's biggest criminal family, Tem Semya, who runs the city with a heavy hand and a no fucks given approach. Until an old enemy tries to take it all away, they'll have to call on old acquaintances to keep their city, and their family, safe.

I have seen you creep around with your shovel and your gun and I have seen you trying to desecrate the graves, my graves, so do not talk to me about a misunderstanding—” Dean holds his hands up and shakes his head. “Shit, man, I swear I’m not trying to—” Castiel has had enough, though, so he flicks his wrist and pushes Dean over one of the tombstones and down to the ground. Dean falls with a grunt and tries to stand up quickly, but Castiel keeps him pinned to the ground with a raise of his eyebrow. “I am the guardian of this cemetery,” he states when he stops and looks down on the struggling man. “I will not be made a fool of, especially not by someone like you.”

THREE YEARS SINCE NOV 5TH, 2020 as summed up by Supernatural (sequel to this and this)

image ID & context below:

[image ID: screenshots of Supernatural paired with screenshots of various tweets, news headlines and Tumblr posts.

A screenshot of Ed and Harry in SPN 3x13 Ghostfacers saying "You gotta be gay for that poor dead intern" with a screenshot of Misha Collins at the SPNNJ 2023 convention saying "I got a call from Warner Bros and they were like hey uh...is there any world you just let it go?" This is in reference to an incident in 2022 where Misha accidentally made headlines after a comment that seemed to be referring to his sexuality. His comments at this year's panel imply that the studio in fact did not want him to retract the comment and make the apology that he posted, but to instead just roll with it.

A screenshot of Bobby saying "Time travel?" and Dean saying "Yeah" in SPN 6x18 with a headline that says "Jensen Ackles' Explains The Winchester's Multiverse Twist & Supernatural Connection." This is about the series finale of Jensen's Supernatural spinoff "The Winchesters", in which it is revealed Dean and the Impala somehow traveled the multiverse to the alternate timeline the show takes place in.

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 15x08 saying "He's back, and he's out of control" with a screenshot of Misha Collin's first Tumblr post in seven years, a video with him and his brother being a public nuisance on public transportation. Also included are screenshots of various Tumblr users reacting with tags from various tumblr users. becauseofthebowties: "mishacollinsofficial tumblr account back from the dead???" myboobsarentsentientbeings: "this is the first thing he posts? after nearly 7 years???" casismybestfriend: "RED FUCKING ALERT MISHA IS BACK ON TUMBLR" cannabiscasgate: "who the fuck gave you back your password"

A screenshot of two news anchors in SPN 14x20, with one (named Jack) telling his co-host "I love you" and her replying "Jack?" with screenshots of the Destiel/Supernatural Confession meme trending multiple times this year with other current events topics like Russia, Titanic, etc. There is also a screenshot of a post by saintedcastiel that says "I cannot believe that since we started using the destiel meme as a breaking news alert that there hasn't been ONE destiel news anchor AU fic where they're co-anchors on the morning news. cas confessed on accident while they're on air and dean doesn't know how to respond so he just reads the next thing on the teleprompter."

A screenshot of Dean in SPN 5x14 as Cupid says "I-I was just following orders" with a screenshot of an anonymous Tumblr ask to user luxshine. The ask says "Hey! I was wondering if you have any updates on the LATAM dub situation and if you were/will able to contact the dub director". luxshine says "Hi! Well I could get the translator (you know, our dear rogue translator) and he told me that while he doesn't remember it completely (because he translates a lot of series) if Dean said "And I you" it's because the script he got said "And" I you" and the video he saw said "And I you" because he doesn't add stuff." This is in reference to a change in Spanish LATAM dub of Castiel's confession SPN 15x18, which added a line where Dean reciprocates, which was previously suspected to be a change added by the LATAM dubbing director or translator

A screenshot of a detective from SPN 8x08 saying, "[Chuckles] Whatever you say Scully" with a screenshot of the tumble blr blog ao3topshipsbracket's poll "AO3 Top Relationships Bracket - Round 2 Side 1" with Fox Mulder/Dana Scully (The X-Files) vs. Castiel/Dean Winchester (Supernatural.) In the final results from 51,514 votes, Mulder/Scully won by 53% and Castiel/Dean won by 47%. In early 2023, Tumblr added a polls feature which has led to numerous content, debates, and bracket polls similar to this.

A screenshot from SPN 11x15 where Dean says "No money, no glory" with a headline that says "Supernatural creator Eric Kripke gets 'zero' residuals from Netflix"

A screenshot of Dean rising from his grave in SPN 4x01 with a screenshot of a post from the official CW Supernatural Instagram with a clip from the pilot episode and the caption "And the story continues..." and a comment from a user that says "THE STORY CONTINUES?? WTF ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL US?? I HAVE ANXIETY YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME." For context, no one is sure if the post was supposed to reference new content from Supernatural or not but it has led to speculation.

A screenshot of SPN 8x01, with the onscreen lyric "Another year has passed me by."

Not for Castiel though. Oh he's settled down for sure, married to a hot twenty-seven-year-old that certainly keeps him young at heart, financially stable and well-respected amongst his peers. However, his husband led a turbulent life before Castiel rescued him, the scars of it showing through in private moments and snowy days. When it comes to Dean Winchester there is nothing Castiel won't do, no thought of flight when it's Dean he's being called to fight for. Not that violence is on the cards today, no. Today Dean doesn't need Castiel to be his knight in shining armour, he needs him to be his lover, his attentive, affectionate, softly dommy husband that enjoys nothing better than having Dean curled up in his lap. Castiel would argue this is how anyone should hope to spend their life, regardless of age.

The Liminal Moment | @blessyourhondahurley Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 2,552 Main Tags/Warnings: alternate universe, massage, meet-cute Summary: After he throws out his back, Dean gets sent to a mysterious location...

THEN CASTIEL REVEALED A NEW ONE. In French, "an angel is passing by" is the literal translation of a saying used as silence sets in after a conversation. The kind of awkward seconds hanging in the air whenever someone speaks to Dean and the words won’t come out of his throat despite how much he wants to be heard. Meeting the angel Castiel doesn’t give him much more faith nor resolve the curse of his mutism either. But for an entire night, locked in a church and on the edge of death, Castiel’s tender eyes make Dean feel like he is listened to. Between them, the world goes quiet in a way Dean never experienced.

The First Language We Speak | @blessyourhondahurley Rating: General Word Count: 4,955 Main Tags/Warnings: alternate universe, autistic castiel, massage, touch-starved castiel, fluff, cheeseburgers Summary: A news article about the importance of touch leads Castiel to realize some uncomfortable things about himself and his life.

He's plagued by insomnia, and the only way he seems to get any sleep at all is when Castiel puts him out with a single touch. When this still doesn't prove enough to bring Dean any real relief from his grief and sleeplessness, Castiel wonders if what Dean really needs is another type of comfort altogether.

Or: Cas drives his truck for a case and Dean is exceptionally horny about it. “Once on a hunt when he was a teenager, Dean had been caught too close to an explosive when it had gone off. There had been the moment when the projectile hit, and the moment when it had detonated. And just before it had, there had also been a moment when he had believed that maybe it wouldn’t. He had thought about that moment for years, over and over again, until something else had taken its place. And the way that that moment was quiet, the way it was still- that is how this feels. To lie beside Cas in the bed of his truck, their shoulders barely touching.”
