Summary
Castiel sees his a coworker on a dating app and swipes left to avoid humiliation. Months later, a stray comment outs him to the same coworker, Dean Winchester.
As misunderstandings pile up and avoidance becomes its own kind of harm, Castiel is left asking: how much of the life he’s built is peace and how much of it is just practice at staying unseen?

Summary
Dean Winchester is on the run from the cops after a series of petty crimes. While looking for a place to hide, he catches the eye of his former junior college classmate, the socially awkward Castiel Shurley, and asks to crash at the Shurleys’ house.
Unbeknownst to Cas, Dean is the face behind John Q. Public—the anonymous frontman of a local punk band—with whom he has been sending suggestive photographs and love poems for the last few years under a pseudonym.
But secret identities are the least of their worries when the police are closing in, the band’s next show is drawing near, and the Shurleys refuse to let Cas fly the coop. They grow close as they rail against the expectations that stifle them both, teaching each other what it means to be a real punk rocker.
A Dinner in America inspired AU.

Helluva good fic; really dig the emotion, that familiarity in the writing of dean’s internal self & despair & exploration, the reality of the messiness & joy of relationships. Also so happy with how present and well-characterized Sam is (and everyone, tbh, but I always love seeing Sam having a solid place in a destiel fic).

Summary
The thing that is not a man looks at the odds before him with a resigned sort of calm; the thing that is not an angel looks at nothing but Dean, and oh, Dean thinks, how wild you once were, how untamed, your gaze a lightning condensed, your voice enough to make me weak in my knees. Oh, look at you now.

Castiel's stolen grace is burning out.

Summary
The ads in every corner of your vision, the ultra-processed food that doesn’t satiate, the attention spans fried by algorithms, the normalised violence—it’s called brain pollution. And to it, you are helpless.
Luckily, there’s a cure. And it comes in the form of a handy little pill.

CHUCK WON: An Analysis & Explanation Of Supernatural’s Tragic Finale by chuckwon (alwaysanoriginal)
Fandom: Supernatural (TV 2005), The Winchesters (TV 2022)
20 Dec 2025
Summary
This project is a love letter to all who made Supernatural what it is today–its creative team AND its fans.
You do not need any prior knowledge of “Chuck won” as an angle of analysis–or even any prior familiarity with Supernatural meta–
to read this. Knowledge of season 15 is encouraged, but hopefully my descriptions are enough to clue you in or refresh your memory when needed.For a lot of people, chunks of this won't be new to you. That's cool. But I do think there is value in seeing all of the pieces together in one place to create the full picture. Regardless, while the sections and chapters are written to build upon each other in an order, they also stand on their own merit if you want to skim or skip around.
My goal was to make this concept as accessible as possible to anyone who may be interested in it.
Thank you in advance for reading, and I hope you enjoy it :)

Summary
They stay that way for a long time, Catra’s face tucked into Adora’s shoulder, Adora gently cradling Catra’s head. Adora is careful not to hug Catra too hard or make her feel restrained, anticipating the moment that Catra will start to pull away — but Catra doesn’t. She hangs on so tightly it hurts, her claws digging through Adora’s jacket and into her back, latching into her like she did when she was a kitten and didn’t know how much her claws could hurt. Adora tries not to wince, tries not to move a single muscle, worried that if she does the spell will break and Catra will struggle away, appalled at having shown weakness.
But Catra doesn’t let go. And so neither does Adora.

Summary
The broken parts of his personality stain across polished wooden floors, slipping through his fingers like sand, like blood, when he tries to force the jagged edges of himself into something that looks like a person.
The most he ever manages is the roughened, snarling shape of a maddened dog.
And some days, it’s even less than that.
He survives.
It’s enough.
