Thanks so much for the lovely review! I can't believe it's been eleven years since I wrote DSotM -- here's hoping it all holds up 😅

Dark Side of the Moon

Dark Side of the Moon by imogenbynight (@thevioletcaptain) Rating: Explicit Word Count: 55k

Five months into his six month mission, an accident leaves Flight Engineer Dean Winchester stranded on the moon. It comes down to a man he has never met to bring him home.

This fic has The Martian vibes, so if you like your shipping paired with the inherent horror of being stranded in space, I have great news.

Dean is the sole survivor after an accident kills his crew. His hope for survival rests in a stranger, Cas. Dean and Cas bond immediately and it makes for a compelling love story. The fic is also well cast with deeply likable characters.

In the end, if you are looking for tense drama with a happy ending, this is a great choice. There's a real Cas saving Dean from Hell vibe to the fic that hits so very right.

#though it physically pains me whenever someone compares DSotM to The Martian 🙃#not because The Martian is bad or because it's not a fair comparison to make #but because I'd never heard of it when I wrote the fic #and I only learned it existed when I was halfway through adapting this fic into a screenplay and happened to see a trailer for the movie #and then I went to see the movie and was absolutely distraught over how similar a lot of things were #especially considering that the first outline I wrote for the fic had it set on Mars #and in an effort to be able to keep DSotM online in the event that the script was good enough to try and sell #the screenplay was also set on Mars #if you go back far enough on my blog you'll see me having a small meltdown about it lol #but anyway I hope anyone who hasn't read DSotM before now enjoys it!#and many thanks to profoundbondfanfic for sharing older works around <3 #cass says things #cass writes fic
