477: The Farther I Fall: A Dean/Castiel Mix
title. Poison & Wine
vidder. ToruFinalFantasy @ youtube
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. PG [reccer's rating]
length. 3:41
summary. "Poison & Wine is about the dichotomy of love - that while it can be the thing that destroys you, it can also be the very same thing that beckons and builds you. The longer you know someone - and the longer you allow someone to know you - the more the light and shadows inside each person become more vivid. This song was an attempt at being as brutally honest about the dangerous and beautiful process of knowing and being known."-Joy Williams, The Civil Wars
watch this. A perfect combination of clips, song, pacing, and editing. This fanvid is a moving, gorgeous look back at Dean and Castiel's story.
title. Notes from Dean and Cas
author. weatheredlaw
characters. Dean/Castiel, Sam
rating. from G to PG-13 [reccer's rating]
words. n/a
summary. Armed with a blog and a whole lot of paper and greasy diner napkins, Dean, Cas, and many times Sam, answer questions about Dean and Castiel’s budding relationship, sex, and Sam’s affinity for purple pens. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, or you’ll do whatever - Dean doesn’t care, Cas is usually confused, and Sam just wants to sleep in peace.
read this. I adore epistolary storytelling, and this tumblr uses notes passed between Dean, Sam, and Cas to answer follower's questions. Delightful, heartfelt, and at times hilarious, this will definitely put a smile on your D/C and Team Free Will-loving faces.
title. The Shape of Flight

author. glassyskies
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. PG
words. 945
summary. "Last night I dreamed about you. What happened in detail I can hardly remember, all I know is that we kept merging into one another. I was you, you were me. Finally you somehow caught fire." - Franz Kafka
read this. Everything this author writes is pure poetry and this fic is a stunning piece of D/C lyricism that will make your heart sing.

author. murron
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17
words. 25,682
summary. Raphael traps Dean and Cas in 1943.
read this. A Dean/Castiel adventure that is as sweeping and enthralling as the time period it is set in. This story has wonderful descriptions and details, and well-crafted OCs. Lovely.
title. Clearing the Air
author. misachan
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17
words. 4,251
summary. Dean hasn't even started dealing with interrogating Alastair and everything that came after when Castiel contacts him with what he says is important information. He winds up learning much more than Castiel had intended.
read this. A fab 4.16 coda! The conversations between Dean and Castiel are so believable and necessary, and the way they come together is smoldering hot. A great read!
title. What You Carry
author. dotfic
characters. Sam, Dean, Castiel; slight Dean/Castiel UST
rating. PG
words. 6,000
summary. Sam and Dean are on their way to investigate a haunting when they get a distress call.
read this. A character-driven Team Free Will S5-era h/c fic that shows just how much of a family unit they were becoming over the course of the seasons. I really enjoyed getting a look at how Sam, Dean, and Cas view each other -- their quiet observations of each other as well as how they interact at different levels.
title. A Gift for the Fallen
author. electricskeptic
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. R
words. 7,353
summary. In which Castiel is stuck between a rock and a hard place, Dean is his Achilles’ heel, and both attempt to repair their relationship with cheeseburgers, alcohol, and other earthly pleasures.
read this. Everything I wanted in S6-era Dean and Castiel and never got in canon. Gorgeous Castiel characterization and insight into the civil war, and a wonderful and believable D/C dynamic.
title. Ruffled - A Tale of Saving Graces
author. seraphwings
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. PG-13
words. 24,800
summary. Once upon a time, there were angels.
read this. A D/C AU of Tangled! This is a delightful fic that so perfectly captures Dean and Cas's canon traits and weaves them into this charming fairy tale. Also check out the amazing artwork by daggomus_prime that accompanies the fic!
title. Untitled
artist. made_of_tin
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. G
type. painting
summary. Drawn to the prompt: "Centaurs, mermaids, whatever...just give me non-human, non-angel boys in love!"
see this. Sweet interspecies loving at its best! The artist's choice of bold, vibrant colors makes this piece pop out brilliantly.
title. A Marlboro Red For Me, and a Bourbon For My Baby
author. whitenarcolepsy
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. R
words. 997
summary. In which Dean is a smoker, but not really, and Castiel and Dean have a talk (only, they don't).
read this. Dean smokes in my headcanon, and this fic is a short but smoldering S4-era ficlet taking on that theme. Vivid, descriptive, poetic, and gloriously hot.
title. A For Effort!
artist. daggomus-prime
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17 [reccer's rating] / NSFW
type. painting
summary. Cas is all "D: Dean?" Sometimes Dean is just not up to handling all that crazy angel sexins.
see this. I love what this artist does with body shape and structure -- Dean's belly area and Cas's hipbones are two of my favorite things. This piece just makes me excessively happy, especially with Dean's worn-out slump and Cas's nonplussed look.
reccer's note. A big mix of D/C for all your Thursday needs! Enjoy! ♥
