season 8/post season 8  
what it says on the tin, preferably gen or destiel, I could go with Benny with the boys but only for really good recs absolutely no charlie/boys. post season 8 is best for charlie fics, I love the idea of her helping them put themselves back together.

I read Oh Brother Where Art Though http://quickreaver.livejournal.com/66484.html for Benny and it was wonderful. I really think Sam and Benny would have gotten along very well given the chance, bonus if they are taking care of/saving Dean. Benny fics are good either in season 8(obv. won't be cannon) and post season 8 where he makes it back from purgatory

Please I need Benny love and Charlie is my queen!

Sorry, can you please clarify what you mean with no charlie/boys? Because the rest of the post sounds like you like Charlie. (Unless you mean shipping Charlie with one of the boys, in which case ewww I totally get why you don't want that.)

Here's two epically long fics (first one is heavy Benny, both Destiel):

The Dance of Inanna (http://archiveofourown.org/works/609607/chapters/1098381) by PeppermintWind
- “Hey Sammy? You didn’t happen to start an apocalypse while I was in Purgatory, did you?”

Graceless (http://archiveofourown.org/works/823760#main) by cheesewithmy
- With the angels cast from Heaven, the big question is obviously how to get them back. The task is far from simple and the addition of old enemies claiming to be new allies only muddies the water. The fact that even their best plan promises dreadful consequences doesn't help. Castiel just wants to go home.

And then some Charlie fics (because I'm assuming you want those too?):

And Then We Wait (http://archiveofourown.org/series/35869) by anglophileprussian
- Dean is a basket case of emotion and Charlie likes a challenge (and is kind of lonely)


Little Women
(http://ficwriter1966.livejournal.com/407899.html) by Carol Davis
- Missing scene from 8.20 -- back at the Batcave, after the big bads have been defeated and our heroes have a chance to rest. Or not.

Hmm, think the rest of my Charlie recs are AUs.

oh it was defiantly about shipping. It might be a bit of a double standard but I can't ship cannonly gay characters as straight, Charlie is so important as a gay character not defined by her sexuality and the idea of her with the boys is a big time squick
thanks for the recs!

Ok, yeah, that makes perfect sense. Making Charlie straight (WTF?!) is horrible and not a double standard at all.


Forgot, here's some domestic (destiel) s8/post-s8 fics:

Apple Pie (http://archiveofourown.org/works/616594)by Anythingtoasted
- “So, uh. What now?” He asked them both, and whereas Sam’s face was blank, and the word ‘Amelia’ was clearly just behind his teeth, Castiel spoke up immediately.//“I think we should revisit your ‘Charming B&B’ idea.”
- author does a lot of s8

Almost Home
(http://archiveofourown.org/series/31784) by outpastthemoat
- When the dust settles, there’s still Dean, and there’s still Sam, and there's a tired man in a well-worn coat, all staring blankly at each other.
- author also does a lot of s8

Ignite Your Bones (http://archiveofourown.org/works/598581) by murron
- When he finds out that Naomi has put a leash on him, Cas decides to cut himself off from Heaven forever. The decision might kill him but even if it doesn't, he needs to find a reason to go on. So does Dean.

Breakdown Lanes
(http://dustlines.livejournal.com/4650.html) by dustlines
- Since his confession on the hotel bed, Castiel has been feeling a little...off. Luckily for him, Dean's there to help. Takes place immediately following 8x08.
- author also does a lot of s8

Your Nourishment (http://archiveofourown.org/works/734512#main)by MajorEnglishEsquire
- Dean cooks. Castiel is less surprised at this than Sam is.
- author also does a lot of s8

Primal Scream
(http://archiveofourown.org/works/764319/chapters/1431418#main) by ireallyhatecornnuts (CharleyFoxtrot)
- Dean kind of wished they weren’t doing this in a bathroom in a hole-in-the-wall, and he kind of hoped that they’d come into the men’s restroom and not the women’s because this was sketchy as fuck to begin with.


Ok I think the rest are AUs, other ships, and/or purg fics.
