Dean/Cas Recs: Part Three

You were just a dream in the back of my head by devilyouwere

The author calls this a happy ending. If so, I hide in fear of their unhappy fics, because man, this one's a doozy. It's everything you want for Dean: a family, normal, a world saved. But there's Castiel, too, and he can't forget. It's so beautiful in its execution and angst. I cried.

When All Is Said And Done by spacemonkey_699

Crack to make up for all that angst in the last rec. This is a hilarious, romantic, awkward take on God being displeased with his children and the way they handled the apocalypse. Big brothers have some making up to do which concerns Castiel. This is one of those hilarious fics in which angels discover the internet and porn. In other words: awesome.

Right of Conquest by luchia13

This fic is brilliant. It features a convincing and seemingly sympathetic Lucifer who manages to lead Castiel astray with promises (and ponies) only to be truly confounded by the power of love. The style and prose give it this hazy, lazy, powerful feeling. It's a love story and it's romantic as heck as well as having an actual, amazing plot. Plus, there's Tessa. Seriously, I can't recommend this one enough.

Up From Perdition by vain_chan

A fascinating look at Castiel pulling Dean from the pit as well as Dean's devotion to Sam.

Journey's Course by tracy_loo_who

This is...beautiful. Inspired by some lovely art (check it out in the author's header), the fic really speaks to the original art and what will be my canon. Because we know, unless Castiel becomes human, he can't just hang around the Winchesters for the next 50 years. Castiel belongs in Heaven, but he'll wait for Dean no matter what.

But Just Ourselves by waldorph

This is a lovely fic from a 3rd person POV. Stunning, beautiful in its half glimpses at the action. Dean is many things to many people. But Death is on his side.

The Game by zooeyrye

This one tears you to shreds. Oh, boys.

(voiceless) by kaiyote

A unique style, a unique POV, and disturbing (sexually) with a whopper at the end. Wow. Loved the flow of this.
