SPN FIC REC FEST #1: specific era or season

*disclaimer: assume all recs are wincest or wincest plus*

*assume all fics are rated EXPLICIT*

*and that all participants give AND receive*

(I’m aware that the above warnings out me and my one-track mind. I’m okay with that.)

https://blue-soaring.insanejournal.com/3024.html

(NOT) RIGHT IN THE HEAD by bluesoaring

ERA: PRESERIES. Teenagers. CLASSIC. It’s on insanejournal.com, for anyone who remembers that! Blindingly intense.

A FORM OF CHEMICAL MADNESS by pinkwithoutplot

ERA: PRESERIES. Teenagers. Sam enjoys one of Dean’s porn mags and is caught. By Dean. Stuff ensues. (Highly recommend this author’s entire catalog!)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/350438

ALL THEIR FAVORITE RAGS ARE WORN by orbiting_saturn

ERA: PRESERIES. Teenagers. Bonus panty kink. Sequel is linked! (Highly recommend this author’s entire catalog!)

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1017905?view_adult=true

BITCH by arby

ERA: PRESERIES. Teenagers. Locked. Requires AO3 account. This is one of the earliest Wincest fics ever written. Posted to AO3 November 5, 2005. (!!!) A pleasure to read, period, but especially when you consider just how quickly these two characters elicited some of the most elevated smut I’ve ever read. This is a fandom TREASURE.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/442557

WHAT REMAINS by annehiggins

SEASON ONE. Dean is revolted by Not!Sam. This is not Soulless Sam. This was written in 2006 and happens late season 1. Maybe a little AU-ish, but not much. It’s original and interesting!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/119994?view_full_work=true

LURK by mistyzeo

ERA: PRESERIES. Teenagers.

Her entire catalog is absolutely top shelf, all ratings, all excellent, but this one is very special. It’s multichaptered but not that long. (Also known in fandom as the Lurk Verse)

Author description: Sam comes home to an unexpected show. Dean's figured something out. They need to be on the same page.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1017905?view_adult=true

THE BALLAD OF THE INVISIBLE BOY by dollylux

ERA: PRESERIES. 58k. Teenagers. Locked. Requires AO3 account. I knew the minute I read this that it would be a fandom classic one day, and it is. It’s fucking exquisite and hot and sad and angsty and totally believable shy Sam and exhibitionistic Dean.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/8697007

THINGS MY BROTHER TAUGHT ME by hellzkitten [archived by sinfuldesire_archivist]

ERA: PRESERIES THROUGH SEASON ONE. Also: Casefic! Also: RarePairs! Bonus John/Caleb, which you can easily skip if it squicks you. This is part 1 of a series, a LONG series, but the individual parts aren’t linked together. I have bookmarks on AO3 for all 8 parts (some of which have multiple chapters each), but I think if I could figure out how to navigate to each part, anyone can. IT IS WORTH THE EFFORT. Each story of the 8 has excellent Wincest smut, great worldbuilding, sometimes multiple chapters, an interesting, ongoing case, *John knows* and helps them on the case, no daddycest. Not directly. Caleb makes an appearance as previously described. (Speaking of long fic, this one totals who knows? But it is L O N G. Like I said, 8 parts. Thank you, sinful-desire.net archivist, wherever you are! 🫡)

https://fleshflutter.livejournal.com/182538.html

FLYING WEIGHT by fleshflutter

SEASON 6. Post-Soulless Sam AU, but I’m including it here bc I love it so much. 48,000 words. Angst, consent issues. I’m thrilled that fleshflutter’s fic is still online! It’s all linked, and it’s heartbreaking and beautiful and totally worth it the time. Makes you think. What if? A bit of Dean whump actually. Sam feels so guilty for what he did while soulless, and we get it, but it wasn’t him.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/1137551

REDSHIFT by road-rhythm

SEASON 8. They finally have a home in the MoL bunker. The Trials have begun. And Dean wants to buy a pool table and have a sex marathon, because of course he does.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/2049891/chapters/4452405

THE PARTISAN by nigeltde (Big Bang 2014)

SEASON 9. After his and Dean’s big breakup post-Kevin’s death, Sam has to finally return to the Bunker and face Dean. He tries to keep it strictly professional between he and his brother. He fails. (To be fair, Dean is so lovely in this one, who could resist? He’s also patient.)

Supernaturally Enchanted

Supernaturally Enchanted by Annehiggins Rating: Mature Word count: 33k

Dean falls into the land of Angelasia. There he meets a handsome prince who may be his True Love – not that he believes in that crap. An AR set toward the end of a very different second season.

Do you enjoy canon verse fic as well as AU with a side of fairy tale? Then you're in for a treat because this fic has the best of both worlds.

When the fic begins, Angelasia is in danger -- if no one from the line of succession is able to find their happy ending, all the magic in the kingom will fade and everyone will be doomed to a gloomy destiny.

Castiel should have found his happiness already as the next in line to the throne. But at almost 30, he hasn't found his true love yet and has long ago lost any hope of ever finding the one.

That's when the Dean we know from canon, thanks to an encounter with witches gone wrong, finds himself transported from the world of Supernatural we know to this fairy tale land.

From then on, it's such a delight to see all these fairy tale tropes and fables we know from childhood come to life as Dean tries to navigate this knew world while trying to find his way back to his reality.

Dean and Cas meet after a brave rescue where swords come to play, and even the Impala turned into a horse has a role, and from then on, like a good ol' fairy tale, they instantly fall for each other.

It's so enjoyable to see them being so soft and caring together. This story is adorable and it will definitely leave you with a smile on your face by the end of it.

[findingstony]

Hello 👋

Hoping you guys can help me find a fic which i saw ages ago so hopefully it's still around. It's basically about Tony's arc reactor and change colours base on his emotions and Toby forgot to put a cover over it so the other avengers saw it. I remember that every time it turned pink it meant love and it was always change to that colour when he saw Steve.

Hope this helps xx

Sounds like this could be “Pink Is the Color of ...?“ by Annehiggins!

Don’t forget to kudos, comment, and bookmark!

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Avengers (Marvel Movies) Rating: Mature Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers Additional Tags: Bucky's back Summary:

Tony Stark never really believed Steve Rogers would actually marry him, but he'd never dreamed it would be because Bucky Barnes turned up alive on their wedding day. Takes into account all pre-Winter Soldier movies except Tony and Pepper broke up between The Avengers and Iron Man 3 for the usual reasons.

[impossibly-cold-collector]

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: The Avengers (2012), Marvel Avengers Movies Universe Rating: Explicit Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark Characters: Tony Stark, Steve Rogers, Pepper Potts, Jane Foster, Betty Ross, Darcy Lewis Summary:

Damnit, Tony Stark is Iron Man so how the hell had he gotten drafted into the Avengers' girlfriends club? As is common in most of my universes, Tony's identity as Iron Man is not well known nor does he carry highly identifiable suitcase armor. All DC characters are as fictional in this verse as in ours.

[tonystarktogo]

Hey :) I just saw your previous ask and do you have any fic where Tony's convinced the team hates him? (Pre-cw) I love them too ^^

Hi there! Let me start by congratulating you for your fantastic taste lol. I wasn’t sure if you meant whether I have written such a fic or whether I can rec any, so I’ll just go with both, hope you don’t mind!

I’ve written one fic that might meet these criteria, which you can find here. (It’s a high school AU but otherwise it absolutely fits.)

Now as for others I can recommend:

[Please check the tags of these fics before you read them if you want to avoid any triggers, as I won’t put any warnings or even specific pairings into these recs]

and you needed someone to show you the way by SailorChibi: This precious gem is basically 25k of Tony revealing how little he thinks of himself whilst kidnapped, and a very pissed off team coming to his rescue. There’s also a pretty side-dash of soulmate angst. I also recommend Tony Stark, Pokemon Trainer (nobody appreciates how much Tony does for the team) and hold the things you wanna say (in which Tony works himself into exhaustion because he doesn’t consider himself part of the team) from the same author

First Impressions and Second Chances by lilsmartass: A beautiful, heartbreaking series in which the Avengers do in fact start out bullying Tony until things come to a head- and then have to deal with the fall-out. (There’s a happy ending, I promise!)

Breathe by Avengerz: In which a villain buries Tony alive and convinced the team won’t come to save him. I almost died reading the first part (and would’ve offered the author my soul for the second one, but it was written before I got the chance.)

Not a special snowflake by Annehiggins: Tony rants to his kidnappers about all the reasons why he’s a worthless hostage- only the Avengers hear it too, and they are not impressed. I just love this concept.

Irreplaceable by orphan_account: Another kidnapping in which Tony’s convinced he isn’t needed. The team begs to differ.

Infinite Disaster by Waterfall_Creek97: Pretty much same premise as the two above, a kidnapped Tony who’s sure the team hates him.

And the Sky is Grey by Teyke: This involves a serious misunderstanding between Steve and Tony that gets out of hand. Also contains a protective JARVIS, which is in itself worth the read.

Somebody’s Hero by EternalSheWolf: I gotta be honest, this one isn’t a Tony-thinks-the-team-hates-him fic but it is a Tony-doesn’t-think-anyone-will-ever-come-for-him fic and all sorts of amazing, you should definitely give it a shot!

Alright, I’m gonna stop here, but I hope there are a couple that you either don’t know yet or are happy to re-read a second time! Enjoy :)

SteveTony Weekly - November 14

Happy Sunday!! Here’s what I’ve been reading this week. As always, leave your fic authors some love if you read and enjoy their stories! 

And for my friends on Twitter--STW is there now, with the weekly list and daily spotlights! 

**Indicates my recent favs 

~*~ 

***And in Your Head It's Worse by Sineala

Tonight is Steve and Tony's anniversary. And since they have the night off, it's the perfect time for Steve to tie Tony to the bed and drive him out of his mind, until Tony can barely remember his own name. It is definitely not the perfect time for Ghost to attack Stark Tower.

as long as you’re holding the other hand by hollyandvice (hiasobi_writes)

"I don't want to put you through this."

Steve turns Tony's head and kisses his lips. "You're not putting me through anything I'm not willing to go through to keep you safe from the people that would try to take you away from me. I'd do anything for you Tony. Understand?"

A trip to Asgard goes awry and leaves Steve and Tony to defend their relationship against those that would tear them asunder by getting married. And then having sex. Because why not?

Only to You by navaan

An alien prince wants Tony as consort. But he's already taken. Steve wants to be clear about it.

***Nobody Panic, Everything's Fine by itsallAvengers

Steve doesn't get jealous. He doesn't. Honestly.

It's just...well- Tony's been spending an awful lot of time with a new employee. Who's smarter than him. And funnier. And more interesting and generally a better match for Tony than he ever would be.

But he's not jealous. Honestly.

You can make this figure with your hips by haemodye

Tony wakes up with a screaming headache, years into the future, where almost everyone he loves is dead.

Stop him if you've heard this one before.

 ***The Importance of Dynamics by haemodye

Steve and Tony don't touch skin to skin until their first handshake at Bethesda Fountain. There, in front of Bruce and SHIELD and everyone, they discover that they're soulmates.

Neither of them quite know how to feel about this development.

Amor Has A Sense Of Humor by KandiSheek

The Avengers get hit by a rogue love spell. It's utter chaos, and of course - to top it all off - the universe decides to make Steve fall in love with Tony Stark of all people.

But the thing is, those feelings aren't exactly new. And Steve has no idea how to convince Tony that he's been in love with him for years, with or without the spell.

wanting was enough by maguna_stxrk

After overhearing a conversation he wasn't supposed to hear, Steve begins to look for all the signs he missed.

And, the thing is—

Once Steve starts looking, he can't stop seeing.

***For What It's Worth by Captain_Panda

S.H.I.E.L.D. thaws out Captain America, expecting a combat-ready soldier to greet them.

They get Steve Rogers instead, a broken artist who turns to the violin for salvation.

****The Lois Lane League by Annehiggins

Damnit, Tony Stark is Iron Man so how the hell had he gotten drafted into the Avengers' girlfriends club? As is common in most of my universes, Tony's identity as Iron Man is not well known nor does he carry highly identifiable suitcase armor. All DC characters are as fictional in this verse as in ours.

***Syzygy (a Kludged Together remix) by Mizzy

When Tony Stark cut Steve Rogers' morning jog short to join him on a reconnaissance mission off the East Coast, Tony sure wasn’t expecting to end up stuck on a life raft in the middle of the ocean, Steve's hand knuckle-deep in his chest.

***Leave Me Breathless by Scavenge4Dreams

Came out of nowhere and feels like drowning. And its not a peaceful fade-out. Lungs burn and eyes water - and Tony just... Steve's breathless, but Tony can't breathe. He goes to his knees... and Steve's world falls apart.

**Anthropos Polytropos by MemoryDragon

He doesn't remember much from before he woke up, but he does know two things. He doesn't like being called Tony Stark, and he hates Captain America.

*Update* Now with Tony's list and a list of references and quotes.

Come to Me By Night by Mireille

Tony hasn't seen Steve since Siberia, and he's happy about that. He doesn't miss Steve, obviously, or wish their relationship had ended differently. But when Steve turns up on his doorstep, injured and pleading for Tony to help him rescue his team from a Hydra cell in Lichtenbad, Tony agrees, on one condition: after this, they're done. When this is over, he never wants to see or hear from Steve again.

***Not a Breakup by Annie D (scaramouche)

Tony knew it was a bad idea to start sleeping with Steve. It could mess up team dynamics, make things even more awkward between them in the future, or just plain get in the way of their trying to save the world. Tony foresaw all of the above but not the advent of feelings, and at the most inopportune moment.

"Steve was well-endowed before he became a soldier, enough so that Bucky made jokes about it. After getting the serum, he's found that he's even grown there — and so has his libido, but he's terrified of sex, afraid he'll hurt someone, if not with his strength then with his dick.

Tony only needs to catch one glance at Steve changing before he's decided that yeah, he wants a piece of that. He just needs to convince Steve it's a good idea.

4k words, smut, ao3 users only. 

Mister Fixit and the Mechanic by Mizzy 💙

Summary: An Iron Man 3 AU, wherein Steve was defrosted too early, and after a couple of lonely decades working for SHIELD, decides to retire and run a hardware store called Mister Fixit’s in suburban Miami.

Tony Stark, presumed dead, presumed not-Iron Man, needs to make some weapons to take on the Mandarin’s mansion. A non-chain store that takes cash and doesn’t ask questions is just what Tony needs.

And Tread Once More Familiar Paths by xxan

Summary: It wasn’t like reincarnation was some great big mystical concept. By now, it was completely accepted that sometime in your current life, you were going to remember something from a past life. Tony Stark's mother was worried when Tony turned ten and still hadn’t remembered anything, but the reincarnation specialist had assured her that some people began to remember as early as toddlers, and some as late as puberty.

But now Tony was 36, and he had never remembered anything.

Mpreg Tony Stark Masterlist

All the Best Things Come in Threes (ao3) - Potrix bucky/tony, steve/sam M, 3k

Summary: “I can’t be pregnant. I’m 47 years old, it’s not possible. I haven’t had a heat in over eight months, I’m menopausal, I can’t be pregnant.”

Baby Bump (ao3) - Annehiggins steve/tony T, 5k

Summary: Tony is 7 months pregnant and alone in the Tower with too much time to think. Set in a movie-verse AU where Tony is gay (so no past-Pepper relationship because there is too much else to deal with) and the fact that he’s Iron Man is only known by a handful of people. Cap is 31 as he always is in my stories because I think it fits better with Chris Evans’ portrayal of him. NOT Thor: Dark World compliant. No spoilers for any movies beyond the general verse vibe.

Everything I've Ever Wanted (ao3) - samandbucky bucky/tony G, 1k

Summary: Tony finds out he's pregnant with Bucky's baby. If only he wasn't so scared to tell Bucky.

His Rock (ao3) - lemonsandstrawberries steve/tony N/R, 1k

Summary: Steve and Tony are waiting for their first child to be born, and Steve has more and more doubts.

Like Rocks Under Tide (ao3) - Potrix bucky/steve/tony E, 10k

Summary: Taking a shuddering breath, Tony shuts off the alarm, puts the phone away to stall for another moment or two, and then finally gets up, and reaches for what he has—very aptly, in his humble opinion—named The Stick of Destinylying on the edge of the sink. He fumbles with it, almost drops it twice before he manages to turn it right side up, and sees the two bright pink lines that mean he’s royally screwed. And not in the fun way.

“Shit,” Tony croaks.

Magic isn’t the answer to everything (only some things) (ao3) - melonbutterfly loki/tony E, 25k

Summary: In which Tony is pregnant, everybody else isn’t (except for two weeks but it doesn’t count), Fury’s chair gets abducted, there’s some panicking, a little textspeak, some overprotectiveness, a lot of tuna, and no fainting.

Not What I Expected (ao3) - Crematosis steve/tony T, 3k

Summary: Tony attempts to hide his pregnancy from Steve, worrying that Steve’s going to force him on bed rest for the entire 9 months. Maybe hiding wasn’t such a good plan.

One, Two, Three (ao3) - Shi_Toyu bucky/tony T, 5k

Summary: The doctor sent him an encouraging smile before slipping out of the room, but it didn’t make Tony feel any better. Pregnant. At nearly fifty years old, Tony Stark was pregnant. It was hard to believe that through all his years of partying and fucking his way through life his luck had held only to run out now. His face dropped into his palms, the devastation threatening to overwhelm him. Well, there certainly wouldn’t be any chance of him and Pepper getting back together now. As usual, he’d fucked it all up…and for some guy he couldn’t even remember the face of.

Partaking of the Forbidden Fruit (fanfiction.net) - Untold Story loki/tony M, 6k

Summary: A one time thing turned into a two time thing, until they didn’t care how long it lasted. Then Loki leaves and Tony is left with morning sickness, and lots of questions.

Second Chances (fanfiction.net) - NinjaCookieXD loki/tony M, 51k

Summary: Post Iron Man 3 - After the events of the Avengers Loki serves his time in the Asgardian prison (while Tony fought the Mandarin) but then is banished to Midgard without his magic. But what happens when he meets Tony again and they hit it off?

Soft Love (ao3) - lemonsandstrawberries steve/tony G, 968

Summary: Tony's far in his pregnancy and Steve is just can't stop admiring him.

The Happiest of Accidents (ao3) - switchknitter, 8k loki/tony M, 8k

Summary: Tony gets himself knocked up by accident. He’s prepared to be a single mother, but Loki steps in to help. The god becomes his friend, but could they be something more?

the slowest runner in all the world (ao3) - silkspectred steve/tony E, 1k

Summary: Tony was pregnant in Siberia. Steve didn’t know.

Tony Stark's Best Kept Secret (ao3) - HidingintheInkwell T, 5k

Summary: Tony found out he was pregnant in an Afghani cave with a car battery hooked up to his chest. Rhodey knows, Pepper knows, Happy knows. That’s it. The Avengers don’t find out for a surprisingly long time. Nobody knows. Until they do.

we don’t want your broken parts (ao3) - Kermits_Soft_Kitty (orphan_account) bucky/steve/tony T, 17k

Summary: After the sudden announcement of Steve and Bucky’s wedding, Tony realises how expendable he was to them and decides to pack up and ship out before he can further make a fool of himself. Now pregnant, heartbroken, alone and unsure of what to do now his life of relative comfort has gone, Tony can only hope the luck of the draw will allow him to birth his cub and live the demure, plain life he was ultimately destined for.

And, as the cliched trope goes, Tony was entirely wrong (as usual) and fate had another idea in store for him.

What it’s worth (ao3) - masterlokisev159 steve/tony M, 4k

Summary: Tony’s scent is off. Wanda realizes why.

Who knew? (fanfiction.net) - Easily Distracted0720, 136k loki/tony M, 136k

Summary: Tony had always been careful with who he sleeps with. Man or woman, he always makes sure that there will be no accidents. Still, who really knew how potent a frost giant sorcerer was in bed? Well, now he had some idea.

from the inbox, #2

From the inbox - asks about canon verse fics, #2

There’s a backlog of unanswered asks in our ask box and since answering them privately takes a lot of time without any guarantee that the answer will actually be delivered, I decided to answer some asks that would benefit a wider audience here. 

Hi! Thank you for this blog I love it!! I am trying to find some of the very first fanfics written when Lazarus Rising aired, or at least early season 4. Any recs?? Thank you!! 

Gosh, that was September 18, 2008. As the story goes, first destiel fics were being posted on LJ merely hours after Cas’s magnificent entrance on the show. Destiel ship manifesto Because God Commanded it: Dean/Castiel was posted in February, 2009. The first Dean/Castiel community developed on LiveJournal and that’s were theoretically you’d be looking except LJ is crumbling, accounts are being deleted. Some authors have back ups on Dreamwidth, some have transferred their fics to AO3 (backdated or not). Some fics are lost forever. ;(

Here’s how you can find older fics on our blog.

I. Start with our Tags Page. We have season tags - #season 4, #season 5, #season 6 (up to season 12). Go through the pages, the older the page, the older the fic recced on it. There’s also plenty of mini fic rec lists on specific asks. Same goes for this blog - to find older fic, browse the blog from the first page onwards.

II. Know your authors. When you find a fic you like, check out the author’s profile, they may have older fics. On June 2014 our chief mod @mbrry posted an extensive First wave destiel authors list with a treasure trove of links. Unfortunately, those links are long gone (thanks tumblr, good job) but the info is still there. You just will have to do your own digging. A thing to remember - not all authors transferred their destiel fic to AO3 even if they have an account for other fandoms; not all authors backdated their fics. It’s always worth to open the fic and see if there’s an author’s note saying something like “First posted 2010, LiveJournal”, sometimes even the same author will have both types of fic, backdated and older fic posted recently just with an a/n.

So, to help you navigate a list with 96 names, here are selected authors who have their canon verse destiel fics on AO3 and are recced on our blog. You can search their names on the blog via our search engine (desktop only) to find the reviews.

We have received suggestion from @hepalien to start with the first pages of Castiel/Dean Winchester tag which have first destiel fics posted in September 18, 2008. This is a good method if you want to stick only to AO3. However, most likely these fics are transferred from LJ and backdated, since AO3 was founded only in September 2008, and launched in open beta in November 2009. 

[beauty-grace-outer-space]

Do you have a favorite McKirk fic or maybe one or two you’d really recommend? I find myself returning to the ship after temporarily exploring different fandoms.

I do have some in my bookmarks on AO3 that I'll share here, but be forewarned, I almost always read angst so while they are McKirk the overarching plot is typically PAIN.

His Worst Nightmare - by Annehiggins

The Where You Stand, I Stand Series - by AccidentallyObsessed

Promise - by Aishahiwatari

So Goddamn Lucky - by Ditchhamlet

Some Assembly Required - by D8rkmessngr

Good for the Soul - by MaiFai (WIP)

[naferty]

any fanfics that’d you recommend of the team being protective of omega tony? ✨

Here are some! Not as many as I had thought, but hope you enjoy!  

~~~

Steve/Tony

Not This Omega by Annehiggins With Stane dead, Tony has to find a mate or lose controlling interest in his company, so it's time to throw an omega ball. Tony has a plan, but doesn't count on the drug in his drink. Now he's stuck with a mate who doesn't seem all that into him.

You Know Who I Am by BuckyAboveEverything Young Tony Stark is forced to marry Captain America. It is either the best or worst thing to happen to him.

Rockabye by BladeoftheNebula (highly recommend their entire series) Cute alphas didn’t appear out of nowhere to help ruined omegas. That was a widely accepted fact. Tony Stark had always known his life wouldn’t be easy as a genius omega in an alpha’s world. But not even he predicted getting knocked up and forced to move to a small town in the middle of nowhere.

What it’s worth by masterlokisev159 Tony's scent is off. Wanda realizes why.

Parabol/Parabola by chaoticcollectorchaos_me (recommend their series as well) When a dead body is discovered, the Avengers become murder suspects.

More than blood and bone by MountainRose, szzzt He turned his head, getting his nose right up in the scrap of cloth draped over his chin and shoulder and inhaling the scents of team. Mostly Steve; this was the handkerchief he carried in an inner pocket, reeking of his exhausted sweat but not of pain, reassuring Tony that he was basically whole and uninjured. There were traces of the rest of the team too, that the medic would have collected on their rounds before tucking the cloth into the gurney with Tony. Tony inhaled again and felt himself relaxing. Everyone was okay, battered adrenaline-sharp and weary after battle but okay. So much better than waking up in the suit smelling nothing but his own pain. 

A tough battle leaves Iron Man injured and grounded. Luckily the Avengers are a strong pack, even with half their lead pair down, and pulling them tighter will help their omega recover; it's a virtuous cycle Tony never thought he'd be lucky enough to be part of.

Bucky/Tony

Beginning and the End by Shi_Toyu Tony Stark: Genius, Billionaire, Omega, Philanthopist, Youngest Member of the AvengersJames "Bucky" Barnes: Soldier, Alpha, HYDRA Asset, Besotted Fool

Broken Wings and Such by arianapeterson19 Steve was the one who insisted they have a team bonding in the wilderness. If it had been left up to Tony they would have just bonded in the Tower, where it was not outside. But does anyone listen to Tony? No. OR The one where Tony breaks his wing and the team finds out he's an omega.

You Are My Sunshine by EchoSiriusRumme Tony is captured and deaged while on a business trip, but the team - his family - jumps right into action to take care of their tiny, shy resident genius while they figure out how to fix this. Or at least, they try to, concern growing each time he freezes at the sight of Steve.But that was something personal, whispered to Bucky between frustrated tears one night, so Bucky wouldn’t be telling that secret unless push came to shove. Too bad for Tony....it does.

[samisadeangirl]

Hi! Sorry to bother you but do you know some very strong angst fics about Sam/dean or jensen/jared (with hurt and bottom Dean/jensen)?

Hi there Anon,

My apologies for not responding in a timely fashion, but I’m trying to catch up on some backlogged asks now.

I’ve gone through my bookmarks to find angsty Sam/Dean fics with hurt! and bottom!Dean (no J2 fics because I don’t do RPS):

Between Darkness and Light by Exaggerated_Specificity, 32K, 16 chapters Sam and Dean finally found happiness, a tiny scrap of peace in the otherwise violent cacophony of their lives. They moved back to their hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, letting domestic life fold in easily around them as they built a life together away from the darkness of their past. For a while it was good, better than maybe either of them deserved. Sam finally let himself believe they had escaped the bloody, violent death he always feared was in store for them. Sadly, suddenly, the greed, violence and jealousy of mortal men swooped in and took it all away.Twisted by grief and consumed by revenge, Sam paints his face with a Glasgow smile of white and black and tracks down the men who split his soul in two, making them pay for what they did.  [AU based on The Crow, warnings for rape, major character death, graphic violence]

Gossamer by leonidaslion, 34K, 30 chapters (non-linear) Come away, o human child! To the waters and the wild with a faery hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand. [Dean is kidnapped by the fae, warnings for rape/non-con]

In the Long Run by WincestSounds (Cammerel), 34K, 6 chapters AU where Sam is the older brother and he STILL left for Stanford, leaving his brother to fend alone with John. He comes back and Dean is… different.

Metamorphosis by siennavie, 13K, 7 chapters Dean isn't the sub he was before. Sam shows him that he's still perfect. [BDSM AU]

Not Meant to Be by majesticduxk, 6.5K, 3 chapters Sam decides to keep their relationship professional, he stops seeing Dean as his lover and smothers the bond they share. Dean starts to eat less, sleep less and only focus all his effort on hunts as that is the only time he is able to get any kind of interaction time with Sam. Since an omega's mental state of mind is dependent on the emotional care they receive from their Alpha through the bond, Dean's becoming mentally and emotionally drained. Unable to bear the pain any longer, Dean decides that it would be better for Sam if he's out of the picture. [warning for attempted suicide]

Past His Prime by sdwbf, 5K, 1 chapter Sam and Dean have to do a follow-up job. Sure it's in a bdsm club, but they've played around before so what's the big deal? At least that had been Dean's thought until he found himself feeling over-the-hill and Sam surrounded by a host of drooling, gorgeous twinks.

Pretty Now by natashawitch, 42K, 10 chapters Driven to sell himself once more on the streets of Chicago, Dean finds a client who keeps him.  [warnings for non-con, underage]

Pretty Tiger by Annehiggins, 8K, 1 chapter Something is preying on young men, something that Dean has encountered before. [warning for non-con]

Rabid by i_am_therefore_i_fight, 5K, 1 chapter When Sam gets back, Dean's gone, and there's blood on his sheets. And on the wall. And on the bathroom sink. [Demon!Dean in S4]

The Heart of the Matter by genevra1676, 23K, 8 chapters Sam is furious after discovering that Dean tricked him into being possessed by Gadreel. He demanded that they keep their relationship strictly professional and ignored his mate outside of what is necessary for hunting. Unfortunately, he's forgotten that omegas need their alphas, need the physical and emotional connection to stay sane and healthy. Now he must deal with the consequences of driving his omega too far . . .  [my version of Not Meant to Be by majesticduxk, warning for attempted suicide]

The Pay-Off for Having Faith by ghostboi, 72K, 25 chapters Sam is fourteen years old when he finds out he has an older brother, whom is in a mental hospital. He hasn't seen Dean in 12 years, but now it's time. [warning for underage, though nothing sexual beyond kissing occurs]

Touch Me Like a Razor Blade by ADeedWithoutaName, 18K, 1 chapter For as long as he can remember, sins have caused Dean physical pain. Like, for example, murder. Or lust. Or incest.

What Remains by Annehiggins, 20K, 1 chapter Sam is killed, but something has moved in and reanimated his body. Dean struggles to find out what has happened while he deals with a relationship he never expected to have with his "brother." [warnings for major character death, non-con]

I don’t know if all of these count as “strong angst,” but I hope you still enjoy them.  If anyone else has any recommendations for Anon, please feel free to add them to this thread.

2020 Rec Week: First Five Friday

FANFICS | FANARTS ED

Sharing my first five in the SteveTony Fandom for the @cap-ironman rec week!

AO3 FANFICS

First five SteveTony fanfics that I read and bookmarked in AO3! And still re-read every now and then! If you haven’t read these yet, I highly recommend that you check it out, kudos and comment after!

1. I (created from fantasies) exist solely for you by Mizzy | @mizzy2k 

Six years ago, without the Avengers Initiative there to save the day, scientist Dr. Eric Selvig sacrificed himself to save the world, the almighty demi-god Thor was lost to a terrible storm, and vigilante Iron Man – spotted with a nuclear weapon trying to take advantage of the situation – was forever labelled an enemy of SHIELD.

This is a comic book office AU, where Steve is defrosted a year too late, Thor has forgotten who he is, and no one knows Tony is Iron Man.

Also includes: office pranks, inappropriate post-it notes, and superheroes who like pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

2. Never Gonna Happen by Annehiggins

Tony Stark never really believed Steve Rogers would actually marry him, but he'd never dreamed it would be because Bucky Barnes turned up alive on their wedding day. Takes into account all pre-Winter Soldier movies except Tony and Pepper broke up between The Avengers and Iron Man 3 for the usual reasons.

3. Favorable Winds by RurouniHime

Steve’s voice comes from behind, a sigh and a thump as his own pack hits the floor. “Sam. Meet Tony Stark.”

4. Mechanic AU by ironfries (machinate) ,Vespasiana

What it says on the tin. Tony is a mechanic and Steve is the guy who brings him small home appliances to fix.

5. Mr. July by jibrailis

Tony is the only one who can defend Steve's virtue. Tony hates his life.

[wizardnuke]

you’re making me cry with these arc reactor posts 😭😭 did you get any good fic recommendations? if so, could you link them?

hi!! this is SO late but I made a list of my favorites!! they're all wildly different in terms of genres and ships and stuff. they're mostly hurt/comfort but that's all I've got. these are in no particular order

One of Those Days by kerravon

The arc reactor, despite being a technical marvel, is quite invasive. There have to be side effects to its presence in Tony's chest beyond the now-resolved Palladium poisoning. The team are about to find out just how debilitating it can be. This would be easier if Tony didn't feel the compulsion to hide the fact that he's sick. Misunderstandings all around, especially given Stark's reputation.

Division of the Heart by TylerM

Tony Stark is sick.

Surely that's not going to be a problem? When he doesn't tell the team a normal cold is a little more complicated with the Arc Reactor, things get a little out of hand.

There's A Hole Where My Heart Used to Be (I Want it Gone) by nightwalker

Tony has issues and an arc reactor and he never thought he'd get rid of either.

They Don't Know Where We Come From by ladyflowdi

“Shrapnel,” Tony says, and alarms go off around his ears and he can’t breathe and the pain is going to eat him up from the head down. “In my heart. I made it. Not the shrapnel. ...Well. The shrapnel too.

Till Human Voices Wake Us, and We Drown by Blossomsinthemist

Tony still has nightmares, and it drives him crazy, because he should be done with this, it should be over, but it's not, and he can't control how they make him feel. Luckily, Steve understands a little bit about how that goes. Established relationship.

and possibly i like the thrill by queerlyobscure

Despite knowing that the arc reactor is a marvel of technology and a life-saving piece of equipment, Tony hates it sometimes. He hates that it makes him visible, and vulnerable, and a danger to his team, and he maybe even hates that Steve has to see it all the time. Steve loves it for all the reasons Tony doesn't, and he's determined to show him how much it doesn't matter to him.

It Only Hurts (When I Breathe) series by Ocean_Born_Mary

Tony could see the mass of scar tissue built up around the reactor, could see the little pieces of shrapnel in his lungs, and he wondered, even now, how he was able to Not-Breathe so well with his heart and his ribs and his lungs all squished out of place.

Arc Tremors by MountainRose

Tony's light had flickered out in the aftermath of the fight with the Chitauri, but his team was there and, hey, he'd just been to space, give a guy some slack. The next morning they accepted, but when he collapses weeks later, they're not going to let him brush it off again, and neither is JARVIS.

Kludged Together by Veldeia

When he cut his morning jog short to join Tony Stark on a reconnaissance mission off the East Coast, Steve sure wasn’t expecting to end up stuck on a life raft in the middle of the ocean, his hand knuckle-deep in Stark's chest.

Pink Is the Color of ...? By Annehiggins

The new element Tony created for his arc reactor core responds to his moods. Once the other Avengers move into the Tower they quickly figure out what all the colors mean. Except one – pink.

Deep Waters by AlchemyAlice

His power's running low, the arc reactor flickering. Cold, rancid sewer water is rushing into the fissure at his torn up shoulder, filling up the gaps, rising along his neck in frigid fingers. He's been like this before.

Proof that Tony Stark Has a Heart (and is Also an Idiot) by TunaFishChris

Tony Stark is the most egotistical, self-centered, arrogant, narcissistic, immature Avenger on the team. Right?

The Song Without Words by Lelantus

Everyone knew what happened when soulmates touched each other. Whether it was hands clasping together, fingers brushing across a jaw, or lips meeting in a kiss - it didn’t matter. Any skin-to-skin contact and chests started glowing with soft, white-blue light. Soul-light, it was called.

Tony woke up in a cave in Afghanistan with a hole in his chest and wires coming out of it and felt his blood run cold. He knew instinctively what it meant. He’d lost his ability to produce a soul-light. And so no matter how much he yearned for it in the secret, hidden corners of his heart, Tony would never find his soulmate.

The Arc Ain't All That by MountainRose

Tony doesn't know why they make such a fuss.

Night Light by WeebDa

"I don't understand, what do you want from me? I've fed you, I've changed you, I've rocked you, I've turned you on your belly, heck I've even sang for you but you're still crying. Come on, talk to me, munchkin," Tony begged rocking Peter and walking around the penthouse of the Avengers tower.

The Hiccups Are No Laughing Matter by orphan account

Excerpt: See, when you have something like the arc reactor lodged in your chest and your diaphragm suddenly tries to push your lungs into space that doesn’t exist, hiccups abruptly jump out of the 'annoyingly amusing' category and right into the 'really fucking painful' one.

(aka - That time Tony gets the hiccups and freaks everyone out)

In the Company of Friends by DarkestSight

Tony wakes up feeling like crap and finds himself longing for the time he lived alone and it was a lot easier to get a simple cup of coffee.

and you're out by Zekkass

A villain kidnaps Tony and removes his arc reactor and Steve's the one to rescue him. Tony proceeds to try and deal with this. Steve tries not to think about the gaping hole he saw in Tony's chest.

remember to leave comments and kudos!!

Kiss and Make it Better by annehiggins E | 9k

Both the forces of Heaven and Hell are after Dean and Castiel, but sometimes a kiss really does make it all better.

Sweet little loving and bonding fic.    

Retreat into Silence by annehiggins E | 16k | Fluff,  Angst,  Alt!Canon

Written for this prompt by deceptivechasm on the no longer exists LJ simon_says_dean: “Something very traumatic happens to Dean while he's with Sam (or Sam was away) which causes him to stop talking, *again*. Sam didn't know about the first time, and has to ask Bobby (or John) about what happened after his mum died.”

Sweet, adorable, and really schmoopy with added angst.    

I Know What You Like by JinxedAmbitions E | 4k | Pornstar AU, Bottom!Cas

Castiel agrees to help Gabriel out by being a production assistant at his porn company. However, when porn star Dean Winchester comes onto him on set, who is Cas to say no, especially when Dean seems to know all the things that turn Cas on most?

Hnnnghgggg.    

Consort by Valyria E | 139k [WIP] | Angst,  Medieval AU, bottom!dean

When King John of the West Saxons forms an alliance with a neighboring Christian kingdom, his eldest son Dean ends up playing a role he never expected.

Valyria's fabulous (currently WIP) Medieval AU is a must-read. Definitely a slow burn fic--includes very bad/painful sex, but with a great payoff.

What Was Lost Still Leaves Its Mark by shieldmaiden_of_celestial_intent E | 4k | Hot, Alt!Canon, Sub!Cas, Demon!Dean, Dom!Dean, Praise Kink

Demon Dean captures Castiel and tries to force him to play out a few of his fantasies. Cas soon finds himself willing because Dean still retains some of the good qualities of his human life. It starts out with dubious consent but consent is given later. There is a confrontation where Dean makes Cas strip. If you love Dean's panty kink this figures prominently. This is from Cas' POV and gets romantic and hopeful toward the end. This is canon compliant up to the season 9 finale. Castiel is powered down and has human drives like sex and sleep. Dean dominates him but does not hurt him.

I'm not usually a huge fan of subby!cas because it usually feels ooc to me, but this is. I'm. This is just... Yes. Really hot. Warning for dubious consent at the beginning.    

Words with Friends by betty days E | 22k | Human AU, Sub!Dean, Dom!Cas, BDSM |

"Dean Winchester is as straight as an arrow. He’s a lady’s man of epic proportions: the king of the one night stand, the messiah of the friends with benefits paradigm, the emperor of perpetual bachelorhood. Except, apparently, when it comes to his best friend, Castiel Novak. Wherein a longstanding acquaintanceship leads to friendship, then best friendship, then sexting, then dirty talk, then mutual masturbation, then, inevitably, fucking.

Smoking hot and full of feels.  

Little Motels by Lovely_Phrase E | 238k | Human AU

After John's death, Dean must travel to California to find his estranged brother and deliver the bad news. He takes Castiel with him, despite the newness of their relationship, and finds himself falling in love while staying in a series of little motels. What he discovers after arriving at Stanford is enough to destroy what's left of him, but Dean isn't willing to give up what they have together that easily.

Wow. This was RIDICULOUSLY long and I can't really believe I finished it. Regardless of the intimidating length (heh), it was a captivating story. Though it edged near soap opera levels of drama at times, the plot was sure, the characters grew and developed, and the writing was excellent. Very good read--highly recommended. Perhaps not for the sensitive (in regards to Drugs or abuse). Also not for john!stans.  

Dragon Healing for Pleasure and Profit by whelvenwings G | 6K | Fluff, Wizarding World AU, wizard!dean

When Cas, a zoologist and aspiring author, moves into the house next door, Dean can't help but go over and say hi. He hadn't reckoned, however, on Cas' determination to discover whatever it is that's living in the nearby woods. Dean should follow his instructions and send the guy away, and yet there's always something stopping him. After all, whoever said a muggle couldn't heal a dragon?

OMG AMAZING!! Wizarding World AUs are the best, and this muggle/magical person romance is super sweet.  

A Fine Frenzy by the_gabih E | 8k | A/b/O AU, omega!dean, alpha!cas

The rest of Dean's family have these romantic, almost fairytale stories of how they first met their mates. Dean? Not so much. But he's okay with that.

Super hot. Apparently an abandoned WIP, but it's mostly porn so that doesn't really matter.    

The Vessel by chellefic E | 7k | Alt!canon, body sharing

When his vessel goes missing, Castiel turns to Dean for help.

I love this fic! Vessel fics/sharing bodies is always a fun and sometimes sexy trope. This definitely delivers on both of those fronts.    

There's Only One Sure Thing That I Know ❤ by leah k E | 20k | Fluff,  Alt!Canon

Dean doesn't even get halfway through explaining before Bobby starts laughing. When he lets himself think about it for more than five seconds, Dean can almost see Bobby's point: he's faced down demons, witches, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, angels, and Satan himself and now he's been defeated by the God damn Midwest.

This fic was AMAZING. I want to wrap it up in a blanket and cuddle it. Maybe hump it or something. Idk, I'm flexible.    

Unusual by Yosei E | 12k | ABO AU, omega!dean

Now that Sam was in college half-way across the country, Dean needed a roommate in order to keep the spacious apartment (with his own room!) that he'd come to love and call home. With Sam's non-stop worrying, he finally convinces Dean to meet a possible roommate. Who knew that it would be the beautiful dark-winged archangel with a PhD., Castiel Novak?

Come a Little Undone by  FagurFiskur E | 3k | Fluff, Teacher AU, Bottom!Dean, Top!cas

"Well?" Cas prompted, turning his face to the side to look up at Dean. "Are you going to get started?    Something about the annoyed tone in Cas' voice, as if he were the one doing Dean a favor and not the other way around, pissed Dean off enough so that his better judgment took the backseat for just a moment. Unfortunately, that moment was long enough so that by the time it ended, Dean was already straddling Cas' thighs. Written for this prompt: Cas and Dean are teachers. It's the end of the year. Cas is stressed out with grading. How does Dean help?

Short, sweet, and hot. Pining!dean and massages yay.    

Sex 101 by betty days E | 50k | Hot, Dancer AU, Alt!Canon, Slow Burn

or: That Time Castiel Asked Dean to Teach Him How to Have Sex. "I want to have sex," Castiel announces suddenly. Dean chokes on his gulp of Baha Blast. Wherein Dean teaches Cas how to have sex, and Cas teaches Dean why to have sex. This fic is filled with music, literature, fluff, angst, smut, feels, and glitter. Lots and lots of glitter.

This AU will just suck you in. God, I love dancer!dean. It started out with some super hot vouyerism, and progressed to self discovery and more super hot things. Yay.    

Dean Winchester Is a Gay Virgin by betty days E | 79k | Hot,  Angst,  College AU, Mafia AU, Gay Panic

"Dean Winchester has a grand total of two big secrets: Secret #1 is that he’s a virgin. Secret #2 is that he’s gay. Dean Winchester is a college junior, a full-time mechanic, and a baseball superstar. He's so far in the closet, he can't find a way out. Then he meets Castiel Krushnic, the totally dreamy President of the LGBTQA Alliance at school, and finds out that Cas has some dark secrets of his own.

Wow. This is not what I thought I'd be getting into by the title. I was expecting a nice college AU and then there was unexpectedly the mafia, gritty angst, and family feels. What a ride. If this were a book, I would buy the fuck out of it.

Learning to Breathe by underneathitall E | 114k | Fluff,  Angst,  Hospital AU

Dean Winchester was just admitted to the Psychiatric Ward for minors at Lawrence Hospital after a car accident that killed his father but left him alive. When he finds out his roommate is a kid he used to go to school with, Castiel Novak, they start to make a hesitant friendship. At first, Dean's only focus is to get out as fast as he can without any attachments. Soon after that, he discovers that making friendships with other patients in the hospital and developing feelings for Cas might be what he really needed to get through this all along.

ahhsgahahhHhhh I loved this so much! It manages to be weirdly fluffy and feel-good even though it deals with majorly angsty stuff (mental ward, hello).    

Just Kisses by tiptoe39 E | 2k | Hot, PWP

Castiel's not ready for anything beyond kisses. So Dean just kisses him. Everywhere.

Hot and sweet.    

Tales from the Bunker of Domesticity by teaandjumpers M | 17k | Fluff,  Alt!Canon

Moments of domesticity between Dean and Cas (and occasionally Sam) in the Men of Letters bunker. Essentially, this is a story about the boys building a home together.

NnoOoOooOoOooo this was so domestic and lovely!    

The One With Dean's Anal Beads by triedunture E | 1k | | Hot,  PWP, bottom!dean

Complete PWP: anal beads, multiple, dry/painful orgasms, & dirty talk.

Nnnghhhh    

Landing by ladyzanra T | 3k Angst,  Canon!verse

“You think in terms of days, Castiel, but there are no days in Heaven,” Hannah tells him, before he leaves. This, Castiel understands, is the reason she does not stop him.

Fuck everything I'm in PAIN.  

Simple As That by ashwinchester4 M | 2k | Canon!verse, First Kiss, First Time

Dean Winchester is not very good at doing things in the proper order. That includes his relationship with Castiel. After Cas becomes human, things begin to change slowly, simply, easily. Until everything is different.

Gorgeous. Simple as that.  

Let Your Grace Guide You by angel_kink E | 24k | Alt!canon, wing!Kink,

After Castiel heals Dean at Stull, the hunter finds himself with unexpected abilities. He becomes determined to use his newfound powers, with Castiel’s guidance, to rescue Sam from the cage. In order to ensure that their venture to Hell is successful, they are forced to team up with Crowley, who has his own agenda regarding what’s locked up in the pits of Hell. During the course of their alliance, secrets come out, feelings bubble to the surface, and Dean finds himself once again facing an impossibly dangerous situation in an effort to save his brother.    

Napoleon in Rags by linzeestyle E | 42k | Alt!canon, fallen!castiel

“So,” Dean says eventually, breath ruffling Castiel’s hair. “You gonna tell us about this place? “I don’t have to,” Castiel says, pushing himself up on his elbows. “If I’m right, it’s nearby. Near something called Tucson.” Dean looks at him incredulously and Castiel scowls. “I was hiding an invaluable relic, not purchasing real estate. There's no such thing as a hunter retirement plan.

Amazing!! Canon compliant from 8x17 and diverges from there :D    

Kryptonite in Shades of Blue and Green by Annehiggins E | 12k | Superhero AU

Dean is the only member of the Winchester family without super-powers and has lived with the threat of being used against him all his life. When Dark Angel finally makes threat reality, Dean ends up trapping them together for two months. A lot can happen in two months. Written for this prompt on the spnkink_meme. Technically Dubcon.    

Chasing Cars ❤ by ratherbehere E | 45k | Fluff,  College AU, Stripper!dean, demisexuality, Slow Burn

After an awkward accidental encounter at a local strip club, Castiel discovers his college roommate, Dean, has a secret career as a stripper, and their relationship begins to change and a bond begins to form. They face the joys and challenges of life together and discover along the way how deeply they've come to care for each other.

THIS WAS AMAZING! So much UST, Demisexual Cas, which is my favorite, and a long, slow burn romance where they are best friends primarily. Love it.    

A Weekend Project by narrativeimperative E | 16k | Lawyer AU, a/b/o, Omega!cas, alpha!dean,

Castiel Novak is a lawyer for an important firm. He’s also, to his chagrin, an omega. With the help of heat suppressants and some serious denial, it’s not a problem ... until he meets Dean Winchester. And then it’s very definitely a problem.

Literally the best.    

Viva by crowleyo E | 38k | AU, Stripper!Dean, doctor!cas, accidental marriagE |

Dr. Castiel Novak swears he will never let his sister talk him into a surprise trip again. Now he has just woken up in Las Vegas with a hangover, an unknown ring on his finger and a beautiful man next to him. It gets even better, though, when Castiel's last memory from the night before is seeing this man up on a stage in a skimpy cowboy outfit. Now, Castiel has to learn to live a cliche.  

Hush by Braceyourself & dresden E | 105k | College AU

He'd heard all he needed to know about Dr. Novak, really. Straight-laced academic, prioritizes punctuality, favours the smartest students; it doesn't bode well for Dean.

Wow, so great! Dommy!Cas, teacher/student AU. There is rape in it, but not between Cas and Dean.    

The Seraph by Hywar E | 135k | Creature AU, Dub!con, Dom!cas, Sub!dean

Ever since the seraph were discovered, there's been one rule society has had to adapt to: stay out of open water. Powerful, determined and aggressive, the octopus-human creatures are in a league of their own and have no qualms with taking what they want and attacking what they don't. Now, children learn to swim in man-made lakes and beaches are deserted save for researches and the fool-hearted. Dean Winchester is neither of those things. But a hunt has brought him and Sam, his brother, to one of the many abandoned beaches, where Dean is left with no choice but to take refuge in the water. He should be safe, he thinks, he doesn't go too deep - just deep enough to hide himself and to deter his pursuer. He forgot just how fast the damn things could be, and how determined they were once they had their eyes on something.

AMAZING. Love love love! Dominant!Cas who just wants to take care of his willful, human mate. Also tentacle sex. Be warned for dubious consent (because Cas is very convinced he's doing what Dean wants/needs but Dean is not so sure).    

Contact by clotpoleofthelord E | 16k | Alien AU, Tentacles

When aliens land on Earth the first time, Dean ignores it. When they land a second time, he's a little curious. When the third landing happens in his back yard, his life gets very complicated, very fast.

Taking Wing by riseofthefallenone E | 44k

Dean frowns around the cave, his head spinning as he tries to make sense of what he’s seeing with his eyes and his echoes. The smell doesn’t hit him until he’s already staggered to his feet, claws clicking on the stone floor. It’s the scent of another bat; different than any kind he’s smelled before. It’s not exactly unpleasant, but it does strike home a realization that turns his stomach inside out. This place belongs to another bat and Dean has pretty much just basically invaded their home.

This is adorable. I didnt know I could get so attached to two gay anthropomorphic bat people.   

Rain by The MigratoryLane E | 2k | | Hot,  Canon!verse, PWP

The fact that Dean Winchester was a strikingly handsome man had not eluded him. But the low burn of arousal that now flowed through his veins was entirely foreign not a month ago. Where as an angel the mere sight of Dean’s neck elicited no greater response, now Castiel found that he wanted nothing more than to trace his lips across the stubbled flesh beneath his jaw—to lick and kiss and suck at it until Dean moaned with the sensation.

CASTURBATION!!    

Cheers, Angel Eyes by wannaliveindeansdimples E | 20k | AU, bartender Dean, Cop Castiel

Dean Winchester is a bartender. He's noticed a new semi-regular and even given him a nickname. Pretty soon he and "Angel Eyes" become friends. Dean wants more, but is secretive, awkward Castiel ready to give it?

As the author's tags say, no matter the universe or circumstance they always find each other and act all schmoopy.

Long Time Coming by authocracy E | 13k | Hot, genderswap au

For the prompt: Okay, so in my head, girl!Dean likes her anonymous hookups, likes her slutty biker look and her oversized flannel shirts and skinny jeans. Granted, she's getting a little old for the club scene, but she's always been more of a bar girl. And maybe Sam kind of despairs of her because he's all "RESPECT YOUR BODY AND YOUR MIND DEAN(NA?)" but Dean's never really bought any of that - she likes feeling close to people, and it's hard to with her lifestyle. Plus, there's something powerful about being hot enough to attract as many guys as she does. Thing is, she's not that easy to get off. It takes her time and effort when she's on her own, let alone when there's some guy expecting things of her. And let's be real, a lot of guys in the kind of places she goes to don't really know how to get a girl off. Maybe she's never even come during sex with a guy. Enter Cas.

I love my genderswap fics, and this one is um... really hot.
