General Fic search
Hi! First of all, sorry to the mods. I'm pretty sure my first attempt to post broke just about every rule - and the subsequent attempts havn't been that great!
Can't remember what I was after last time so we're going to go with what I like now - I'm fickle that way!
I would really appreciate links for any of the following (i've gone through the tags on here so if you know of any that might not have been recced all that much that's be awesome too!):
1- boys raised apart - Love love anything to do with this trope! Especially if one of them gets the worse end of the stick (not too fussed who is the one in the bad situation- or what kind of abused). I absolutely loved In Shadow so anything along those lines would be wonderful.
2- feral boys - again, anything at all in this line would be love!
3- Dean post purgatory - Just starting season 8 and I want anything showing dean as a BAMF post purgatory. Or at all really. Dean or Sam being completely bad ass. Yes please!
4- Your personal favourite fic. The one you go back to time and again. I prefer long and plotty and I'm not that keen on wincest but to be honest I'll read anything that's well written.
I'm new to the fandom so any recs you have would be lovely.. Thank you wonderful people!!
(Mods - i've got no idea what i'm doing with tags so hopefully this is tagged ok)

No 2: Savage Land (https://archiveofourown.org/works/237530) - "When Samuel and Sam return, the Campbells see Dean as a threat and kidnap him, keeping him locked up like an animal without human interaction except to feed him or hurt him. By the time Sam regains his soul and finds him, Dean's mostly feral. Sam just wants his brother back."
No. 4: The Bright Lights of Disturbia (http://archiveofourown.org/works/181007/chapters/266202) (Wincest) - Not all of our scars are worn on the outside ...

Ghost Dance (http://archiveofourown.org/works/129418/chapters/183881) (Destiel) - In post-apocalyptic isolation, Castiel nurses Dean back to something like his former self, but will a time come when Dean's recovered --and rediscovered-- too much?
The Dog That Belonged to Himself (http://archiveofourown.org/works/338959/chapters/548446) (gen, for both no. 1 and no. 4) - Shortly after John Winchester lost his wife to demons, he lost his oldest son to a Skinwalker. Now, twelve years later, he's hunted down every single Skinwalker he could find and killed them, unaware that his oldest is still alive. That the monster that took his child hadn't taken his life, just his humanity. That she'd turned his child on the command of a human slave ring that traded in Skinwalker children. Dean ended up saved and raised by the Hunter Bobby Singer, but what's a young pup to do when his foster father goes missing and the only one who can help him find him, is a Hunter who despises his kind and would kill him on the spot?

Sorry I have a lot of favorites. :)

- The morning after Sam rescues Dean from the djinn, Sam and Dean go back to the warehouse to take care of the bodies of both the victims and of the djinn.

How (thanks to Gabriel) Dean and Castiel (accidentally) raised each other (and Sam)
Summary: In which, Gabriel meddles with the time line and Castiel becomes Dean's angel rather sooner than intended. http://archiveofourown.org/works/540915
Sympathy for the Devil (and Dean Winchester)
Summary: "I'm Lucifer. I always have been. I just didn’t know it for like, the last five thousand fucking years, not until you broke the seal and I got my Grace back and realised exactly how much I was screwed over. Okay, so maybe there’s a few assholes I’d really like to explode, but really, I mostly just want to stay under the radar and get my head sorted.”
After the final Seal is broken, Dean discovers that he's actually Lucifer. He's not really sure how he feels about that. The forces of Heaven and Hell aren't exactly making things easier.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/556708/chapters/992996
So an Archer and a Hunter Walk Into a Bar (One of the best crossover fics I've ever read)
Summary: It's the beginning of a bad joke or a friendship that could turn into something more. Clint and Dean's paths cross when they're unknowingly tracking down the same person, and they keep in contact and keep each other sane after the op. They joke and they fight and eventually they save the world together.
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8338092/1/So-an-Archer-and-a-Hunter-Walk-Into-a-Bar
How to Fall
Summary: '“I’ve been falling for some time, through darkness, and pain, and fire. And then I saw you, shining through the shadows, and I knew you would catch me one day. But you didn’t, I fell right past you, further than I ever imagined I could, and now I wonder if I’ve finally hit the ground.”'
When a spell goes wrong Sam ends up stranded in the north Canadian wilderness with nothing to do but bunker down and wait for rescue, which wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the broken angel he's accidentally brought along for the ride. http://archiveofourown.org/works/747501/chapters/1394242
It's All in the Details
Summary: When Dean goes to sell his soul at the crossroads to bring Sam back, someone else steps in to negotiate the deal. Cas did get a sign and it sent him off into the past to change things. AU from The Man Who Would be King and All Hell Breaks Loose. https://www.fanfiction.net/s/7002492/1/It-s-All-in-the-Details
Needed
Summary: Dean is the eldest, Adam is the beloved little brother, and Sam is left to pick up the pieces of himself every time his family shatters him.

my faves... too many to name, you're welcome to look on my delicious (https://delicious.com/bubblewrapstargirl/fandom%3ASupernatural) (I got pretty lazy with tags/summaries)
here are some really great ones tho i did mini-summaries for - means I was super enthusiastic:
Destiel
Honesty Is What You Need (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1387327)
Dean and Cas are cursed into only speaking in song lyrics, and if they're not honest with one another, they'll die. It goes about as well as you'd expect
Bring Me to Life (http://archiveofourown.org/works/834723)
HOW SEASON 8 SHOULD HAVE GONE, HOLY SHIT
Scheherazade of the Super Eight (http://archiveofourown.org/works/305603)
Dean doesn't know why angels keep recruiting him for impossible tasks. But they do, and now he's apparently the last chance heaven has--not only against Raphael, but against a dangerously unhinged Castiel.
Castiel, Genie of the Ring (http://archiveofourown.org/works/346587)
AU; Dean buys a kickass ring and gets Cas, angel-turned-genie as a result. They fall in love, of course :)
Firestarter (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1163184?view_full_work=true)
superhero au holy shit
Lost in Translation (http://balder12.livejournal.com/2485.html?style=mine)
Castiel teaches Dean Enochian. Dean teaches Castiel about American culture. Neither goes smoothly. So funny and cute!
Damned (http://archiveofourown.org/works/368695)
AU from Season 3!! so good-- introduces Cas before Dean's deal is due, so Sam has that to cling to whilst Dean tries to give up hope and Cas denies there's any salvation for him- because after all, Dean exercised his God-given gift of free will and he has no one to blame but himself for the consequences...
Trust In Your Unfailing Love (http://archiveofourown.org/works/696641)
Godstiel/Dean, AU of S7. Bizarre but fantastic.
Face to Face with the Skies (http://quidquoprose.livejournal.com/19782.html?style=mine)
This is one of the best stories I have ever read, and definitely the best destiel characterisation I have ever read. This is so much more believable and canon than the direction they chose to go on the show post S5. I am so glad I stumbled across this wonderful fix-it and I am literally crying my heart out because I was so afraid they were never going to get their happy ending. Just read it, it is perfection.
A Gift For The Fallen (http://deancas-xmas.livejournal.com/41538.html)
truly fantastic fic which showcases Cas' otherworldliness. Cas as seen through his interactions with his siblings, his duties and loyalties, and of course, how those bring him into conflict with the man that he loves.
Wincest
Pray Unto The Splinters (http://archiveofourown.org/works/545765)
don't read it, it will ruin your life, rip out your heart and eat it while you watch
I Can't Give You Anything (But Love) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/699201)
Future fic. Head canon. It's so damn beautiful, just read it
When You Put Your Arms Around Me (http://kroki-refur.livejournal.com/118581.html)
Sam gets very sick as a result of Dean setting fire to a witch's altar. And it may not be something that they can cope with. Written with a very good Dean-voice; cleverly bordering the lines of snarky-funny, and serious worry.
no subject
Dean/Misha, Dean/Cas: Imitating Life (http://littlehollyleaf.livejournal.com/436642.html#cutid1) French Mistake season 6 au!
Dean/Benny: Lonely Too Long (http://archiveofourown.org/works/922708) I thought I'd saved this and was horrified to find I hadn't. It took me ages to find it again but it's so worth it. Romantic, gentle slow burn, domestic with hunting happily ever after. It's glorious.
Sam/Dean/Cas: Try This Trick and Spin It (http://cautionzombies.livejournal.com/14707.html?style=mine) this is basically like the angrier, pornier, angstier version of 'Apologies and other disasters' where there is less snuggling and more angry kissing and its awesome
Gen
And No One Sings Me Lullabies (http://dollarformyname.livejournal.com/44498.html?style=mine)
soulless sam and a six year old dean, omg
When Angels Fall (http://archiveofourown.org/works/846891?view_full_work=true)
BEST FIX IT FOR S8 OMFG.
Apologies and Other Disasters (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1033814)
the most canon almost-wincestiel I have ever read. Dean and Sam get Cas back, and the three of them spend a lot of time snuggling in the bunker. Kevin, Garth and Linda all move in too and its freaking adorable, the only thing missing is Charlie
You’re Not Just Whistlin’ Pixie (http://zannes.livejournal.com/24205.html)
Dean gets turned into a pixie and Sam has to deal with the consequences.
The Wellspring (http://scourgeofeurope.livejournal.com/38445.html) (Master List)
The best 'Sam&Dean as parents'/crossover with Dark Angel ever!
Everything a Ninja Knows, He Learned from Dean Winchester (http://jukeboxhound.livejournal.com/227814.html)
Operation: Geek Liberation. Dean frees Sam from his boring pastimes. Very silly.
Made in Taiwan/Welcome to Oregon (http://gretazreta.livejournal.com/5765.html)
Throughout Sam's time at Stanford he learns to decode the messages in the gifts that Dean sends.
no subject
It fits your #1
Summary: When Sam was four years old he went missing and despite months of searching there was never any clue as to what took him, until 8 years later when Bobby sees him walking down the street. Only when he calls out to him, he doesn’t answer; However, when a redheaded women calls out for Seamus to hurry along he answers.
