title. Witness
author. xaara
characters. Castiel, Uriel
rating. R
words. 1,900
summary. We’ve been friends for a long time, Uriel. Fought by each other’s sides, served together away from home. For what seems like forever. Castiel and Uriel bear witness to their father's work in Egypt, c. 2184 BC.
read this. A history-rich and beautifully-written piece with amazing imagery; more than anything it offers some great backstory to Castiel and Uriel.
title. Far From His Home

characters. Castiel, Gabriel, Anna, Dean, Jimmy
rating. PG-13
words. 2,080
summary. Castiel, over time. "I am not, as you say, a hammer."
read this. An intriguing look at Castiel and his relationship to his vessels and humanity over time. I really enjoy Castiel's POV as told through the non-linear, snapshot style of the piece.
title. Elysium
author. gabby-silang
characters. Castiel, Dean, mild one-sided Dean/Castiel
rating. PG-13
words. 3,349

title. Desterrada
author. zempasuchil

rating. PG-13
words. 2,547
summary. Castiel takes the woman Yeimi, a Cuban immigrant who prays to the Saints and Orishas of Santería, as a vessel.
read this. This piece of haunting and beautiful prose is a wonderfully complex look at Castiel in a female vessel.
title. Bend Or Break
author. murron
characters. Dean/Castiel, Jo
rating. NC-17
words. ~7,500
summary. Cas discovers human fear. The End Verse.
read this. A wonderful fic set in the End!verse with a nicely-explored Cas POV, offering a believable look at Castiel's emotional headspace as he deals with the pitfalls of becoming human.
title. If The Sky Should Tumble And Fall
author. haruslex
characters. Castiel, Dean
rating. PG-13
words. ~2,000
summary. Castiel put Dean together with strands of his own grace. And now he is falling. 5x04-verse.
read this. A sharp, bleak, and heartbreaking look at Endverse!Castiel, with amazing imagery and beautiful writing.
title. Good Eats
author. eretria
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. PG-13
words. ~6,700
summary. "Cas," Sam said in his reasonable voice. "You've never cooked before. Why not start with something simple like … scrambled eggs?" "I was stationed on earth for two thousand years, Sam." Cas crossed his arms in front of his chest and threw Sam a look that should have skinned Dean's brother alive. "Cooking is not, as you're so fond of saying, rocket science." -- In which Cas zaps a lot and gets ambitious, Dean is covered in feathers, a tie is ruined, a kitchen is wrecked and Good Eats are created against all odds.
read this. Dean and Castiel cooking in the kitchen is in fact one of my secret kinks, and this charming fic definitely hits the spot. The interactions between Cas and Dean are golden -- spot-on, hilarious, and wonderfully entertaining.
title. Tokipokey?
author. mikes-grrl
characters. Dean/Castiel
rating. NC-17
words. ~4,700
summary. It may or may not be punishment for (allegedly) burning down the frat house, but either way, Dean feels it is above and beyond cruel to make him roomies with Castielofreakasuarus.
read this. Human!AUs are my guilty pleasure, and this fun college!AU will have you laughing out loud. Crackalicious and hot all at once!
title. In God's Country
author. lassiterfics
characters. Dean, Castiel, Sam, John
rating. PG-13
words. ~5,600
summary. Written for the prompt, "Castiel is Dean's imaginary friend." Set during Stanford era and pre-series, with bits of other seasons.
read this. A clever SPN AU that is a fascinating reimagining of Dean's history. Full of gorgeous, vivid imagery and powerful language.
reccer's note. A small taste of the many wonderful fanworks that came out of the first castielfest. There are more than 50+ submissions there, so definitely check out the community and leave some love for the participants. ♥
