a trio of BAMF!Cas fic recs (Dean/Castiel and gen)
These are all new to new-ish, and feature BAMF!Cas. Because he is maybe my favourite flavour of Cas. If you have any other similarly themed recs, (or self-recs), please leave them in the comments to this post so that others can check them out.
Title: Out of the Sun
Author: evitably
Tags: Undisclosed. See warnings for more info/story spoilers.
Characters: Dean, Castiel, John
Genre/pairing: Gen, angst
Rating: PG-13
Word-count: 2,800
Spoilers: All of season 5, vaguely.
Warnings: here
Summary: Castiel changes everything to save Dean. Dean would much rather he hadn't.
Reccer’s comments: I found this to be written in a refreshing way - the format is non linear, which is one of my favourite stylistic writing choices when done well like this. Add to that an intriguing premise and the air of a fairytale, and you have a really cool fic on your hands.
Title: Fifty-move Rule
Author: fossarian
Tags: captivity, slavery, stress
Characters: Dean, Castiel
Genre/pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: R
Word-count: 3,300
Spoilers: 6.22
Warnings: Implied slavery.
Summary: Death isn't the only way to lose someone.
Reccer’s comments: This is the first post 6x22 fic I’ve read, and I’m so impressed the author wrote it so quickly. It’s stunningly good. In a REALLY CREEPY way. And like the last rec, this one also has the air of a fairytale.
Fyi, in the vein of many fairytales, this is more of a horror fic than a h/c fic. In any case, I love it!
Title: Who If I Cried Out Who Would Hear Me
Author: misachan
Tags: dream-walking, kidnapping, pain, supernatural injury/trauma, torture
Characters: Dean, Castiel, Bobby, mentions of Sam
Genre/pairing: Dean/Castiel
Rating: PG-13
Word-count: 6,596
Spoilers: Vague Season 6
Warnings: here
Summary: Dean goes missing on a hunt; Castiel can hear him but can't find him, and longer the situation drags on the unhappier Cas gets. An angry angel of the Lord is not someone to be messed with.
Reccer’s comments: I love how this explores both sides of Castiel - the totally scary, other-worldly side, and the tender side.
