Masterpost of my favourite Destiel fanfics.
♕ = ridiculously good, read immediately
.
| AU | NC-17 | ~76,500 |
Dean’s life at twenty-four makes him feel like he’s forty—he works two jobs to help pay bills for his house and put his genius little brother through private school, and has spent six years (on and off, let’s be honest) working on his mechanical engineering degree at KU. With so much of his life devoted to his family, Dean has little time in his schedule for class and no time for social interaction. Then, while getting his classes together for the fall, he finds himself in a do-or-die situation: He must take his last literature class now, his spring already filled with those left for his major…except that none of the English classes will fit his schedule.
Much schmoop and cuteness and the ending is adorable.

A French Holiday by camui_zuuki and dream_0f_flight
| AU | NC-17 | 59,919 |
When D. Smith aka Dean Winchester, successful author and heavy smoker, had booked his recreational holiday to Le Havre, France, he hadn’t expected to meet the love of his life in a small café at the ocean.

I’m a sucker for anything French and this is awesome. The language barrier is very sweet.

Angelhawke by almaasi ♕
| AU | E | 407,057 |
A Dean/Cas Fantasy-Drama AU, set in a medieval world where two men are separated by a curse: every sunrise and sunset, both are eternally bound to transform into animals. Every night when darkness falls, Dean Winchester becomes a wolf, and his human mind is lost until the dawn. As the sun rises, his lover Castiel becomes a hawk. Their story has been the same for five years - until the day that a young thief named Sam stumbles into their twisted lives. Without even realising it, he becomes a part of their destiny, their paths entwined in prophecy and fate. Together with a few old friends, they set off on a journey to break the curse, but it won’t be easy. To pass the time, Dean and Castiel take turns to recount their past to Sam, narrating the tale of how they met, how they formed their profound bond, and how they found themselves wanting what no man should ever want: the touch of another man.
‘Angelhawke’ is a saga of forbidden love, friendship, and magic - but above all, family. Partially based on the 1985 movie ‘Ladyhawke’.
Wow this fic is long. I avoided it for a good while and I am still working my way through it - but it is just so so good. Really great story and I love all the interweaving relationships. But remember to leave and get nourishment and social contact every now and then because 400,000 words is… well… a lot… dear God, it’s a lot…

Dark Shadows - Metaphysical Gravity by zoemathemata ♕
| AU | NC-17 | ~79,000 |
This is a retelling of the gothic soap opera Dark Shadows.
This is not a comedy like the Tim Burton-Johnny Depp betrayal remake.
Vampire Castiel Collins is awakened from his tomb by down-on-his-luck author Chuck Shurley. With Chuck’s help [and blood] Castiel sets out to make a life for himself in Collinsport, restoring his old home and hopefully being reunited with the reincarnation of his former lover, Dean Winchester.
I am a huge huge huge Dark Shadows fan so I almost died when I found this. You don’t have to know the show to get this fic, but I guess it helps so I adore it. Based on the TV show Dark Shadows - which is infinitely better than the Burton movie. If you’ve seen the movie, please try and keep it out of your mind when reading this. But don’t let it stop you reading it. Because. Wow. I love it so much. So damn much.

Destiel, Actually by Cuboid ♕

.
| HS AU | E | 52,249 |
Dean is fine with sailing through high school as nobody exceptional or worth noting - he can even deal with Castiel, typical hotshot football player, always staring at him over lunch. What he doesn’t expect is for Castiel to pick up the pieces of him and worm his way into his life, carving a place there for himself - and he certainly never imagined that he’d be finding out that there’s more to Cas than money and popularity.

Point Pleasant by chainedtoacomet

Punch Drunk Love by HigherMagic

Redemption Road by redempt_admin
| Post S6 Alternate Reality | NC-17 overall | Word count varies by episode |
With Castiel having set himself up as the new God, drunk on power and volatile as a nuclear reactor, Dean, Sam, and Bobby find themselves on the run from the jealous, capricious monster wearing the face of their friend. Desperate for protection and wary of his brother’s mental state since Castiel unlocked Sam’s memories of Hell, Dean knows Castiel must be defused before he can wreak further havoc in Heaven or on Earth. Although Bobby advocates for destroying Castiel by whatever means necessary, Dean is convinced the Cas he once knew still remains, buried somewhere beneath the mass of poisonous souls and calling out for help. Determined to save the angel who once rescued him from Hell and redefined his purpose in life, Dean himself must resist the allure of the false deity vying for his obedience, and come to terms with the knowledge, long-suppressed, that his feelings for Castiel run much deeper than brotherhood. It is this bond, and the dubious distinction of the Righteous Man, that will ultimately grant Dean access to where Castiel’s grace languishes in Purgatory. However, what Dean brings back with him is broken, angry, and only half-angel, certainly not the Castiel he remembers—and nor is it the only thing that returns to Earth with them…
I haven’t actually read this yet… but I don’t think a Destiel fic rec would be complete without this…

Right Place, Right Time by the_new_thing
| HS AU | NC-17 | 18,873 |
When Sam brings his new boyfriend, Castiel, home to meet Dean, Dean is expecting the usual: to hate Castiel and to have to give him the “older brother” speech. What he discovers when he meets Cas is a hell of a lot different. Meanwhile, Sam struggles with maintaining a passing grade in chemistry, a relationship with his closest friend, and his confusing feelings regarding Cas’ older brother, Gabriel.
.
See No Evil by zeppx and Susangel ♕
| AU | T | 37,368
Dean’s life is about as normal as can be, he has his job and his brother and is perfectly happy. Then Cas, a blind pianist, enters his life and everything gets turned upside down.
This may be my favourite characterisation of Cas - sassy but with some deep emotions to boot. Great story too although I can’t say I’m overly fond of the Lucifery bits at the end.
.
Shootin’ You Straight by rockstarpeach
| AU | R | ~40,400 |

.
| AU | E | 43,196 |
Castiel Novak is a low level reporter for the New York Post, up until he gets his big break: ASL star Dean Winchester has broken a goal scoring record and Castiel has been assigned to his personal story, meaning two weeks of close proximities. Except, the thing is; they’ve kind of got history.
.
Thursday’s Child by strangenessandcharm ♕
| End!verse | NC-17 | 114,000 |
Spoilers for 5.04, ‘The End’. So I got to wondering: what would have happened if past!Dean hadn’t turned up in 2014, and future!Dean had actually succeeded in killing Lucifer with the Colt? Apparently, it involves lots of angsting. Who knew?
This one is very long but very worth it. The 2014 world is very well-written and Castiel is developed in a very believable way. Go forth and read.
.
To Reign in Hell by whreflections ♕
| NC-17 | 70,138 |
When Castiel abandoned Heaven to be with Dean, he damned himself to hell. Now, centuries later, Dean is sent on orders from Heaven to stop a demonic Castiel from leading the armies of hell in another war.
Dark!Castiel fics are just so damn good. But I really struggled to imagine him in a non-Novak vessel, especially when his personality is so different as well… But that didn’t distract from the amazing that is this. Devour with thine eyes.
.
Twist and Shout by gabriel and standbyme ♕
| AU | E | 97,556 |
What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.
Yes, yes, everyone always goes on about this fic but it is seriously amazing. I mean, I literally never cry at anything and it had me sobbing into about five boxes of tissues. I can no longer even listen to Elvis Presley without my eyes watering a little. Beware, it may destroy your soul.
.
Vita Nuova by worldaccordingtofangirls
| AU | M | 61,804 |
Dean Winchester takes a job as a teaching assistant to get his little brother into a prestigious academy. He doesn’t quite expect such long nights and snobby kids, but the real surprise is professor Castiel Novak: or falling in love with him, that is.

Waves by wormstaches
| College AU | M | 54,132 |

And then everything is shades of gray and Dean is drowning.
.
Well What Do We Have Here? (Baby Please Don’t Go) by shilohslaughter ♕
| AU | NC-17 | 32,154 |
Castiel is the black-eyed Angel of the Crossroads with whom Dean barters himself to save Mary from dying. Ripping him from his life on earth, Castiel takes Dean to Heaven to serve as a makeshift pet. The more time he spends with the angel, Dean starts to see that something bigger is happening to him and he’s powerless to stop it. When Dean finds out that Castiel has been lying to him the entire time, he realizes just how powerless he truly is.
This is super dark. Especially the ending, whoah. Really love the story and characters, screwed up though they may be. Also this contains my favourite line in any fic ever.
