Next Wave of Dean/Cas Recs

mf_luder_xfHello to all my new friends! *waves* Even if I knew some of you already. ;) It always seems these friending memes come right before I leave for awhile and then it's like, new friends fade into obscurity because I'm silent. *sadface* Especially since I don't often talk about myself on a personal level. I'm 24, female, a graduate student, and I go by (online) Lucy; that's about all you'll get out of me most days. So, instead, I leave my whole flist with some AWESOME recs to get through until I'm back. \O/

eggblue (Dean/Cas)
This series of short stories is very powerful and very porny. It sort of reminds me all the asexual!John Sheppard fics in that Castiel gives sex for Dean, not because he thinks he needs it. But Dean isn't willing to give up so easily on giving Castiel his own pleasure. Sure, they're PWPs basically, but so beautifully written and it gives a unique richness to Dean and Castiel's sexual relationship that isn't found in most of the porny fics out there. Also, it's a lot of wing!porn and I am really ok with that. The third story is my personal favorite.

More wing!porn, but God, the visuals this fic creates are stunning. There's a second part linked at the bottom.
Anointed byeggblue (Dean/Cas, Sam/Dean)
This fic could revive my love for Wincest. It's so natural, the connection Sam and Dean have. But at the same time Dean and Castiel are so ridiculously in love it wrenches your heart. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. It's just a little sad, too.
Lazarus Coming byolympia_m (Dean/Cas)
At first glance, it seems like it's going to be total crack. Dean and Cas as porn stars, what? But, the emotions are so richly tantalizing and the backstory comes to light so slowly that it really pulls you in deep. It's a 5x4 kind of Cas who's broken and beat and addicted, but God, for all that brokenness, he and Dean and their fumbling relationship with each other and their families is lovely. And then there's Chuck. Who needs a vacation and remains hilarious while doling out pretty good advice and being a good friend.
Asunder byrageprufrock (Dean/Cas, Sam/Ruby)
Another AU, this one tells the story of social worker!Dean and pediatrician!Castiel. The roles work surprisingly well (though, this is not at all surprising when you consider the author). Dean invites Castiel to his brother's wedding because he's had a crush on the man for years but mainly because he needs some sort of shield considering he he despises Ruby and the stuff she did to Sam. It's a story of forgiveness and realization and it's so beautiful. It's romantic and sweet and sad and delivers some truly amazing lines. The scene where Castiel talks about his wife...wow. I was blown away by the emotions.
Pomegranate Seeds byelaeazeph (Dean/Cas)
This is a beautiful, terrfying tale of post-apocalypse Earth where Castiel searches out Dean and reminds him every day of who he is until the demons tear them apart. Seriously, words cannot describe the beautiful hurt of this story.
Older, Too byevalens (Dean/Cas/Sam)
I've read quite a few OT3 fics now, but this one...this one sells me on the trio. It's different. The sparse style is lovely and truly adds to the ambiance of the fic; the lost feeling, the sadness, the hope and love. The interaction between Dean and Cas is wonderful and in character. And the emotions...gorgeous. I don't want to say that Sam doesn't matter in this fic, because that's not true. Dean makes it very clear he does when he asks Cas if he can come to love Sam, too. But the raw love and tenderness, the desire between Dean and Cas breaks me every time.
And the Angels Sang a Chorus of "Going Down, Going Down, Going Down Now" byignipes (gen)
This gem of a fic is hilarious and God, just what I want after the finale, written long before. It's all about Dean and Castiel's friendship. But also, Cas cheats at Scrabble. PRESH. Plus, it has my new favorite saying. See if you can guess.
This Story Was Brought To You By Our Sponsors by Annie D (Dean/Cas, others)
This fic is the closest I will ever get to mpreg. That is, it's one of those awesome fics where magically (and not involving anatomy beyond the sex) the two male characters have a kid together. Only, while this is a happy story, it certainly doesn't start out that way. Dean never even knew he had a son until Anna kidnaps him so Dean can meet him. Daniel is an abomination so Castiel has been hiding from Heaven and everyone else. But a lot happens in five years and both angel and man have grown up and grown apart. God, I love this story so much. It's sad, it's realistic, it's happy and wonderful. It makes me heart ache because I'm all about the Dean/Cas OTP, but really, Sam will always come first for Dean and in this story their son will always come first for Cas. But it's right. And it doesn't mean Dean and Cas aren't meant to be.
(I hope Misha doesn't do anything too exciting while I'm gone! I like to be around for the squee.)
