So, what's the thing with Dean/Castiel?

[katikat]

I'm first and foremost a Wincester. I know that it's not everybody's cup of tea but I love it. But these days, a lot of Dean/Castiel stories are popping up. I haven't read any yet because I'm not sure what the "mainstream" in this part of the fandom is. I mean, Wincest? I love stories where Sam and Dean either "switch positions" or Dean's the bottom. There are lotsa stories like that. But I'm not sure about Dean/Castiel...

Does anybody on my flist read Dean/Castiel? What's the main trend in those stories? Dean on top? Castiel on top? Switching? What do you prefer? Do you have favorite stories? I love bottom!Dean fics but I'm not sure if that would fit this pairing...

It was never a question of if, only when.

This takes place as a missing scene post Heaven or Hell. Short. Most of the revelations in the story have since been proven different in canon, but I like the way it was handled here.

The war is over and Jimmy is finally free to go back to his family. Everything should be perfect – then why isn’t it?

Good example of how a post Dean/Castiel relationship Dean/Jimmy could work, and I like that the author didn't make Amelia a bitch in the process.

pandarus has also recorded a number of podfics and those would probably be good places to start as well. I liked Pied Beauty (http://pandarus.livejournal.com/278456.html) where angels can't see in colors, but Dean slowly makes Castiel see them, as he falls.

tracy_loo_who has a great selection of recs here (http://tracy-loo-who.livejournal.com/89415.html).

it's called apocrypha and shows a sneaky naughty castiel, and a bobby that's a dick....
