S1 Dean and S4 Cas are a relationship dynamic that hasn't been explored to the fullest by this fandom. I'm so disappointed. Imagine the flirting, the fighting, the absolute adorable chaos that would come from these two. You thought there was sexual tension before? You're in for a whole new eye fucking drama here.

Dean being downright playful with Castiel and not so reserved because he hasn't been to hell or lost people yet. He isn't jaded or as paranoid so when he sees this literal angel who squints his eyes and tilts his head a lot, Dean is completely enamoured. He can't believe his mom was right about angels; he can't believe angels were so goddamn hot. He's always using cheesy one liners on Cas that completely go over the angel's head.

"Are you from Tennessee? Cuz you're the only ten I see."

"Dean, you know I'm a celestial being from heaven and not the U.S. state of tennessee."

Castiel's confusion with Dean immediately turning into fondness into complete adoration. Dean immediately breaks Cas out of his robotic solider persona because he's too damn playful that Cas simply couldn't keep up.

Castiel always just being in awe of Dean because he hasn't lifted this soul from hell yet and therefore doesn't know it so intimately. This soul is a complete mystery to him and he's so freaking intrigued. He's always staring at Dean - even more so than in canon - because his soul is so bright and warm and lovely. He wants to know what it feels like to hold it close, to touch it, protect it. Dean calls him out on the staring with a smug smirk and a wink. Cas tries to wink back but ends up blinking both eyes and Dean is a mess of laughter. Castiel is confused but he loves Dean's laugh. Dean always mentions "personal space" but gets closer to Cas as he says it. A wide smile on his face.

Whenever Dean has nightmares and wakes up to find Castiel watching over him, he just grabs his hand and pulls him into the bed with him. None of this repression shit. Not with a literal angel of the lord. Dean doesn't have faith in many things but he does in this one awkward cosmic entity who once told him he counted Dean's freckles and he had 234 approximately. Dean thinks it's ok to be vulnerable around this one.

Dean would immediately jump into teaching Castiel pop culture and taking him out to movies and sharing his casettes. He'd show Cas all his favorite things, like an excited child because he's been alone for so long with Sam at college and no one has ever shown an interest in the things he likes. His dad was always busy and Sam was always so different from him. Dean loves the happy surprised look on Cas' face everytime he shows him something so mundane but new all at once to the angel. Like pie or leather jackets or cats. Castiel would watch new Dr Sexy episodes with Dean and have long conversations with him about it and Dean would be so freaking happy.

Cas would want to share every small human experience with Dean. Like opening a jar for the first time, or firing a gun, or driving. Yes, S1 Dean would let Cas drive the impala. You can't convince me otherwise. Cas is practically buzzing the first time they go to a grocery store together to pick some carrots up for Sam. Dean thinks he's adorable. Cas would bring Dean small rocks he thinks are cool and Dean would line each and every one of them up on baby's dashboard.

They're always smiling around each other. Dean's playful flirting and Cas' dry humor has everyone rolling their eyes at how sickeningly cute they are. These two would fall head over heels with each other in .3 seconds and be fucking in the back of the impala in .4 seconds. It would not be a slowburn at all. They'd be so goddamn in love that they immediately start fighting heaven and hell to be together. They'd have the world saved by the end of season 1 and their wedding would be in season 2. Someone please start writing for this dynamic. I'm begging you.

Must-read Destiel fics - my superduper Nov. 5th rec list

Three years ago, on the blessed day of November 5th, 2020, I had:

never seen an episode of SPN,

only had a vague inkling of what the two pale coconuts were on about,

and I hee-heed and ha-had with the rest of Tumblr about the love confession scene and the Internet errupting in an unparalleled craze

At first I thought, that's it.

Then ... I got curious. I watched some YouTube Destiel supercuts. I read some fic (I think @andhumanslovedstories beautiful Cas/OC fic was my entry point?). I read meta. I watched some more YouTube scene packs. I read even more fic. I watched some of S4, some of S1, some random fan fav episodes. And then Destiel lodged itself so deeply, thouroughly into my brain that it took over and hasn't relinquished control in the last two years. The most tenacious, pervasive brain worm to date.

This ship got it all, and this fandom got it all, and there's such delightful, powerful, batshit crazy, romantic, expertedly crafted fanfic out there, it's like being a starving child in the world's biggest candystore.

So without further ado, here's some of my very favorite fics from this infinite trove, with all my thanks to the wonderful writers who keep delighting and awing me with their dedication and craft. There'll of course be some recency bias at play but you can browse my bookmarks over here to chose from over 100 excellent and well-curated SPN stories.

💕CATEGORY: SWOONWORTHY💕

Wildly romantic fics that warm you up from the inside.

It Won't Be Perfect by someonetoanyone (10K words) Summary: Dean daydreams about what it'd be like to let himself love Cas freely.

Why I love it: the humor, the spot-on characterizations, and the quintessential late season Destiel-ness of being so deeply love with your best friend that it's too big to actually do anything about. Just. So warm.

Rock Lobster by Ginger Fail (13K) Summary: Cas decides that the lobsters Dean planned to cook need to get back home. Impromptu beach vacation ensues!

Why I love it: This road trip story is fresh and invigorating like a sea breeze! Fun, entertaining and full of deep, deep fondness.

Seek to Know You Better by ahurston (32K)

Summary: On a road trip, Dean and Cas play the 36 Questions That Lead To Love.

Why I love it: They’re so deliberatedly, carefully starting a relationship here. They try so hard to bridge the gaps and meet each other halfway. A very mature take on love that feels nourishing.

☢️CATEGORY: BRAINWORMS GALORE☢️

Fics that make you go BARK BARK BARK.

samson went back to bed by piesexuality (9k, @twoheadedcas) Summary: Cas strikes a deal with Chuck - keeping his family together comes at the price of their free will.

Why I love it: What if Cas got his revenge for the Mala'ak box? What if love came at the price of everything you've been fighting for? What if a story twisted the knife oh so sweetly? Each word of this one lands a punch. Made me insane in the best of ways (cue pinned fanart).

In sickness by @saintedcastiel (41K) Summary: S4 redux but Castiel has a fetish: giving Dean the sniffles.

Why I love it: This one is soooo. Can barely find words for it. It taps into Cas' early season alienness and psychosexual obsession with Dean, brilliantly demonstrates Casdean vs Samruby parallels, and each word is just. Perfect. ARGH!

so much smoke in a hall full of mirrors by AreYouReady (6K, @autisticandroids ) Summary: Godstiel is losing his heavenly war. Crowley provides a compliant Dean-doll for him to release his frustrations upon.

Why I love it: Urgh, this one is sooo dark. Taps into the scary, intimidating and alien aspects of Godstiel so well. Gore, consent and psychosexual issues galore. Delicious.

Special mention: In a Parked Car, Exhuming Ophelia by @an-android-in-a-tutu (17K). Still need to comment properly ;)

💣CATEGORY: EMOTIONAL WRECKING BALLS💣

Angsty fics that tear you to pieces to remake you better.

What Used To Be Mine by someonetoanyone (48K words) Summary: Dean never makes his apology prayer in Purgatory - Cas dies, Dean mourns.

Why I love it: Oh god, this is a heavy hitter. Just, straight up insurmontable grief, packaged in poetic, raw language to make you shed tears and tears. Loved it so much.

Ignite your bones By ilovehowyouletmefall (67K, @angelinthefire) Summary: Dean accepts Chuck's deal: killing Sam to save the world.

Why I love it: Cruuuuel cruel premise for a story that doesn’t pull its punches. It gets dark in Dean’s head and everyone around him suffers. Wonderfully written. The ending set my brain on fire.

Right Where you Left Me by outdean (93K, @armandgender)

Summary: Cas comes back from the Empty after 10 years to find Dean married to another man.

Why I love it: This one is a riiiide. When grief has become a part of you but your love comes back… When you return from the dead and have to carve a new space into the world for yourself... nothing is easy here, but the emotions are INTENSE. Also, autistic!Cas for the win.

Special mention: Who Ya Gonna Call? by saintedcastiel (50K) and Clear skies in spring by enochianprayer (WIP)

💥CATEGORY: EPIC RIDES💥

Expansive, wild adventures with lots of ups and downs

Spirit of the West by teen_dean (140K, @urne-buriall)

Summary: An 18y old Dean grew up on a horse farm – cue veterinarian Castiel. The summer of a lifetime ensues.

Why I love it: So this is one of my very favorite stories, ever ever, and I cannot recommand enough to immediatedly suscribe to the author’s Substack to be able to follow it in „real time“ next summer. It’s cinematic, rich, full of darkness and light, it’s everything a story can aspire to, I’m just. I just really love it.

Second Verse, Same as The First by LaLaCat1 (135K)

Summary: Endverse!Cas is sent back to the start of S1 and is determined to make things right this time round.

Why I love it: a desperate and badass Cas, unfridging everyone, a thrilling plot, moments of awesome for the entire cast, gripping action scenes, a romance for the ages… this is a genuinely amazing story.

back road, black road by eden22 (167K)

Summary: 18y old Sam gets kidnapped by Hell on his way to Stanford. Dean tries to deal.

Why I love it: So this one’s not Destiel-centric but does have wonderful Destiel moments. It’s also very heavy on the gore and the angst (NOT for the faint of stomach), but expertly crafted, fascinating and frankly it deserves more love. Held my breath for half the read and never knew where it’d take me.

Special mention: It's The End Of The World (As We Know It) by tiamatv (140K)

🤪CATEGORY: DESTIEL INSANITY🤪

Uproariously funny stories about the intricate rituals these two weirdos get up too.

Life Skills by ilovehowyouletmefall (26K)

Summary: Dean teaches a newly human Cas how to be „a real man“.

Why I love it: Dean coming to Big Self-Realizations while trying to have platonic threesomes with Cas is so perfect. Very endearing, tender and funny. Also, smoking hot sex.

the cheapest room in the house by biggaybenny (89K)

Summary: Dean downloads Grindr for Cas

Why I love it: Just. Late season Dean being deranged about Cas’ sexuality while everyone watches on in utter confusion. Equally hilarious and deeply moving

according to all known laws of life by @sobsicles (29k)

Summary: Cas comes back from the Empty to a Dean who won’t stop playing gay chicken.

Why I love it: They are both such petty, insane weirdos in this one. They said „can every situation be turned into a squabble“ and didn’t wait for an answer. So funny, so tender

Special mention: Wedding Vows and Negotiations by GingerFail (6K)

That's it, enjoy and leave your writers some much-deserved love!

“Why is supernatural trending?!” Because this is the destiel website deal

[unabasheddreamfrienddonkey]

one of my fave cherik warrior james mcavoy moments (right before him saying magneto and prof x should have had sex and got married) is when conan obrien tried to make a joke about cherik, james gave him this look, and then launched into a very serious analysis about their relationship dynamic and how they r very much so in love
