 Supernatural has inspired a huge number of fanworks, and Destiel is the most popular romantic pairing within the show’s works on archiveofourown.org. MalMuses and EllenofOz discuss a broad variety of fan fiction featuring Dean and Castiel including their picks for certain tropes, delve into behind-the-scenes writing topics and character discussions, and even bring you special guests from within the Destiel fandom. Supernatural may be ending, but the world and the characters live on…and the story ends when we say it does.The content of this podcast is copyright EllenofOz and MalMuses. The characters Dean Winchester and Castiel, as well as the Supernatural universe, are owned by Warner Bros and we mention these creations in the context of transformative works of fiction. Art

Check out our ko-fi page for more information: ko-fi.com/mixtapebookclub Featured fics (timestamps in brackets) Flight (sequel to Forgotten) by NorthernSparrow (08:30)Published in 2014-15, 319k words, M Sequel to Forgotten. A/U from mid season 9. Castiel is human and wounded, and Dean and Sam need to get his grace back – and his wings. Things do not go as intended and Cas faces a difficult road. Long case fic with strong emphasis on Team Free Will friendship/family bonds. Will get serious and angsty and lonely. ALERT: There will be two versions of this fic, Destiel and platonic. This version (Flight) is the Destiel version. Slow build and mostly pre-Destiel. The platonic version will be called Broken and will be posted later. Broken (platonic version of Flight) (170k words but incomplete, T) What’s a Little Dying Between Friends? by carnationqueen (00:39:10)Published in April 2023, 27k words, T Castiel – stabbed by Ramiel with Michael’s lance, is dying. Slowly.It will take days, maybe weeks, but die he will. It is, apparently, inevitable. Neither Dean, Sam, or Rowena can find a way to save him. They’ve tried everything. Crowley hopes a slow motion, inevitable death may make Dean and Castiel remove their heads from their collective asses because really. Everyone is over it. He’s a bit smug after all, having Lucifer as his prisoner, and is feeling a bit magnanimous in his hubris.Will impending death make Dean examine how he feels a bit more honestly?Bring tissues. On Drowning by domesticadventures (00:52:50) Published in 2015, 29k words, T The absolute last thing Dean would ever admit, after saving Cas’ life, is that it was all thanks to the unhealthy amount of time he spent reading about drowning on Wikipedia. Not that he’s not grateful, but what he really needs is an instruction manual for everything that comes after. Lights by LoversAntiquities (01:05:37)Published in 2018, 2671 words, M Dean can’t breathe. Try as he might, he hasn’t been able to suck in a deep breath in the past hour, not with bruised ribs and the associated pain. Blood continues to drip from his nose and eardrum, probably busted. With shaking hands, he struggles to wipe it away, his attempts all in vain; the motel will probably hate him after he leaves, whenever that is. The least his father could’ve done was leave a note, a map—something telling him where he was, not just dumping him in a nondescript location with a collection of gashes and bruises he can’t even treat, not by himself.

They’re behind on bills and can’t climb out of the hole of debt they’ve found themselves in. The night of their ten-year high school reunion, they find the water and heat shut off in their apartment. What’s worse, is that at their ten-year reunion, they’re reminded of how far they could have gone and how little they’ve done with their lives. But, a chance encounter with a pornstar gets Dean’s brain working. What if the answer to all their financial issues is making their porno? Together, Dean and Cas, along with their friends Ash and Charlie, set off to make a porno. However, as Dean and Cas know all too well, luck is never on their side. With cast and crew, a great script, and support and encouragement, everything seems to goes smoothly. Until Dean and Cas realize they’ve caught feels for each other.

Fallout: Supernatural by insominia and MaggieMaybe160 [00:32:00]Published for SPN Media Big Bang 2021, 50k words, EArt by GioBased on the Fallout video game series Castiel has one job, and that is to deliver a package to The Strip. Unfortunately, after finding Dean Winchester in the mouth of a dinosaur, what should have taken a few days has taken months. What started as a partnership of circumstance becomes fueled with untold feelings. But to find any kind of happily ever after, Cas and Dean have to push the NCR, demons, and angels from the Mojave Wasteland. Revelation 13 by fullvoid [00:45:07]Published in 2022,44k words, E (read the tags)Art by Hitori AlouetteBased on Silent Hill 4 It’s Dean’s day off, and he’d like to spend it how he always does—by kicking his feet up with a cold one and watching soap operas—not by discovering an enormous, creepy hole in his bathroom wall that definitely wasn’t there when he went to bed last night. But it’s no big deal. He can just patch it up and still devote plenty of time to Dr. Sexy afterward. There is only one problem. He can’t leave his apartment, and there’s a message on his front door written in…is that blood? And why is it signed by someone named “Cas”? Things can only get better from here, right?

When a fresh face moves into town, Dean takes it upon himself to introduce the awkward, but devastatingly handsome Castiel to their small community. Castiel seems a little naive, and Dean knows he’s just the person to steer Castiel in the right direction.What he doesn’t expect is for Castiel’s arrival to shake up his monotonous days, and to open his heart back up to long-lost passions and the possibility of something more.

The corner of his mouth is tilted in a smug smile. “Something very good.” “Oh yeah?” Dean’s fingers are tingling. Are his fingers supposed to be tingling? “Yes,” Cas says again. His smile turns endearingly shy as he adds: “It seems I can’t stop thinking about kissing you, even when I’m asleep.” every light he cannot see by intothesilentland (01:07:50)Published in 2021, 8500 words, Not ratedArt by keylimedean Here in Purgatory, Castiel cannot keep his true form tethered to his vessel. He’s a beacon of light for monsters to flock toward, he’s a danger to those around him—especially Dean—and with each passing day, he has less and less hope of making it through a gateway back to earth, a gateway designed for humans. But if he can take Dean safely there, he will—all the while hiding his true form from a human he knows will be disgusted by it. After all, Castiel has always been willing to bleed for Dean. And he bleeds, and he bleeds, and he bleeds. A Constellation of Wishes by Destina (01:02:00)Published in 2022, 8500 words, E Dean builds a little house in Heaven, because it’s easier than saying what he feels. And then he invites Cas to come home. So Says The Sword by komodobits (00:40:40)Published for DBCC 2017, 85k words, EArt by kayanem: https://kayanem.tumblr.com/post/167025583569/art-for-the-wonderful-cuddlebabies-aka The briefing was simple: ‘Stand guard over the Michael Sword until the battle is ready to commence. Await further instructions.’ Castiel doesn’t mind working security duty; he was briefed shortly after the initial salvation of the Sword from the pit, and again before taking up his position. He knows what to do. However, it’s easy to forget that the green room isn’t real. Time moves differently there, the space ever-changing to make a prison of mountains, cathedrals, salt flats, orchards, and whatever Castiel was led to believe about Heaven’s greatest weapon—Dean Winchester is something entirely unexpected.
