general: Destiel, good guy Dean; specific: Dean (maybe Cas) takes an ax to his head/neck  

Hi All

1. Destiel, where Dean is just a good guy. Human!AU preferable, finished story preferable, always love awkward Cas. I'm open to any recs but in my head I was mostly looking for fics where Dean doesn't do the whole "am I bi?" dance and just ends up in this (fluffy) domestic story without realizing it, and if he has a freak-out/there's misunderstandings it's easily taken care of. Him having self-esteem issues is fine but I'm not really looking for heavy angst ones.

Self recs and cis-swaps welcome. Examples:  Shut Up (Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is) kototyph or A Sketchy Sort of Love Affair by Vera (only Destiel not Debriel for this ask).

2. Ok I'm like 85% sure this was a Destiel, fallen!Cas story, but all I remember is Dean and Cas (Sam is there but in the background?) coming up from the basement and the creature (witch?) takes an ax to them and one of them steps in front of the other and gets an axe in their neck and they're basically dead except then *something* happens and then I think it turns into feelings!confessions. It's the end of a much larger fic. <- sorry that is a horrible remembering

Thank you!

Thanks for the recs.

I loved PWP (orange_crushed is a fave at this point and that's not just because we have similar names *g*) and wow I didn't realize Tramps Like Us was finished (I think I got to ch15 and then decided to do the rest when it was finished, thanks for the reminder.)

Have you try Wait and See? It´s not at all fluffy and a bit "am I bi dance" but mostly sliping in a relationship without seeing first.

Wait and See http://fanfiction.net/s/8169946 (http://fanfiction.net/s/8169946) (OH! First chapter angst!Dean)

Thanks for the rec. I have tried it, and Wait and See has one of my favorite Dean realizes he's bisexual dances and a great OFC and pretty cool look in how hard it is for Dean to just slide into domesticity and gah, I can totally gush about this fic.

(BTW if you like Boy Meets World their Milestones fic is really good too, though it's an abandoned wip.)

That would be fine. Can you give me a link?
I like wait and see much too ´cause it has a very good characterisation of Dean. I like Destiel but even more Debriel, sad there isn´t much of.
Hve you ever give the Numinour´verse a try? It´s not what you looking for yet, but very good!

Sure - it's here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6089380/1/Milestones).

And that doesn't sound familiar, but I'll check it out.

And for Debriel did you read the link in the post (the second one called A Sketchy Sort of Love Affair (http://archiveofourown.org/works/969225#main))? It's a really good Debriel human!AU. And ok I don't really read a lot of Debriel but here's a list in case you never read them: long ones: Poetic Justice (http://tiptoe39.livejournal.com/1268127.html) by tiptoe39, Next Stop Along Parnassus (http://archiveofourown.org/works/176587/chapters/259882) by Moorishflower; short ones: Harmony (http://archiveofourown.org/works/257591) by entanglednow, Finals Week (http://archiveofourown.org/works/255819) by Moorishflower; and then this one is gen but IIRC you can read into it Destiel or Debriel (I think, I really may be remembering wrong): Roadhouse Ink (http://epicycles.livejournal.com/185961.html) by epicycles

ETA: Oh yeah and then there's Swinging on a Star (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1007298/chapters/1997550) by KateThorne where you can have a mix of Debriel, Destiel, Sabriel, & Sastiel.

I think you might like Asunder. Dean is a social worker and Cas is a pediatric surgeon who agrees to go with Dean to Sam's wedding as his 'date'.

Asunder is basically what got me heavily invested in fanfic so I definitely liked it. ;) Thanks for the rec though, it's a good one for anyone whose also looking at this post.

Leap That Makes the Fall by MissAnnThropic
With no explanation for how or why, Dean and Sam find themselves with a fallen angel on their hands.
http://miss-annthropic.livejournal.com/26490.html


“The Ugly Sweater Verse” by saidtheking follows Dean and Cas as they experience various holidays. The link is to the first story in the verse.
http://saidtheking.livejournal.com/2028.html#cutid1


Past Present
Dean/Castiel AU. When a handsome stranger wanders into his bar one warm fall night, Dean Winchester is charmed by the archaeology professor. As their friendship deepens, Dean will discover that there are a few simple truths about love: it can sneak up on you when you least expect it, and it will level you without warning. But it can also save you, when you’re lost.

Ah I've read these authors but thank you so much for leaving links, very much appreciated!
[identity profile] donovanspen.livejournal.com on November 11th, 2013 04:45 pm (UTC)
I figured you had probably read but just in case....

These might fit what you're looking for in terms of domestic - I really like them. The Way Back is gen but really good!

The Way Back
AU in which Dean gets between Lucifer and Cas, preventing Castiel’s death and eventual return to full-blooded angelhood. In the following months, a mostly human Cas gets a job at Taco Bell, Dean recovers from wounds given to him by Lucifer, and a silent, shell-shocked Sam wanders in from the cold.

I have read them (uh, I have maybe read too much destiel-flavored fic at this point) but I really, really appreciate you coming back and leaving more links. Thank you!
