do you have any recs for fic that isn't deancas?

ooh yes! idk what pairings you're looking for exactly, but i've listed several! sorry i don't have more sam- or cas-centric fics...i'm a deangirl through and through lol. if anyone has good ones, please drop them in the replies!

here is a whole reclist of femslash fics. there will also be a lot of good non-destiel stuff in the fic tags for spnpocweek and spnwomenweek (currently happening, so keep checking back on that one)

my all-time favorite spn fic is this could be a city by cherryice (76k, deanbenny). that author also wrote the fantastic fluffy wayfinding series (25k total, just posted part 3 today!) and a silly little raunchy deancasbenny oneshot put color in your cheeks (12k) that could be a coda to either one. here are some more deanbenny fics

the persephone agreement (21k, incomplete) is a fun goofy drowley fic where dean agrees to be crowley's queen of hell as protection from the mark of cain. weightless (6k) is a post-canon fix-it fic i LOVED that does end with deancascrowley but it's far more focused on drowley

superstition: the series (13k total, ongoing) is a series i really enjoyed about what would happen if dean had gone to cassie at the end of s5 instead of lisa. starts off deancassie and has hints of destiel but really is just cassie-centric. lacuna (13k) is a good pre-series deancassie fic

call off your ghost (11k) and so goes the song (22k) are both deanlee fics that i thought explored pre-series dean well

and of COURSE the legendary edharry manifesto veil by evol_love (8k) (yes it takes place at the destiel wedding, but that's mostly background PLEASE read it)

on your tags on the deancas vs beandenny why not both post, do you mean you read a good deancasbenny or destinny or whatever the 3way ship is called fic that you really liked? would you be willing to share a link? 👀

hi! so this is a two part series I read recently that I found to be compelling but PLEASE mind the tags because there may be some triggers etc (I mean this is always the case for any fic I rec but I like to reinforce that bc I Overthink Things). I really enjoyed the story; I thought it was just such a LOVELY take on these three!

I WANT to like deanbenny but it makes me so gut wrenchingly miserable for Cas

How can I find a way to enjoy deanbenny!!!

expand your mind 🧠📡🌀🌀🌀

no but i mean i certainly can’t MAKE you care about deanbenny, and if you’re that focused on how it affects cas then it sounds like it might just not be the ship for you and that’s fine haha! i personally enjoy deanbenny as its own thing entirely separate from destiel (NOT as a stepping stone to endgame destiel, NOT as a way for dean to realize his feelings for cas, and NOT as a comparison or consolation prize) but i feel like that’s not how a lot of people see it since people in this fandom are very weird about multishipping sometimes and bc of like, deangirlism vs. casgirlism

that being said, i recced several deanbenny fics on this post. my favorites are all endgame deanbenny so i’m not sure how you’d like them, but. this could be a city is my all-time favorite and is so well-written that it’s converted a few friends of mine that have never read anything but destiel before, so maybe check that out? put color in your cheeks is a oneshot from the same author that could be read as a coda to it that ends in deancasbenny so that might make you feel less bad about him hahaha (both are linked in that post)

but like, if you don’t like it you don’t like it! just because it’s fandom’s topic of the day doesn’t mean everyone has to be on board!
