Ou sont les fics d'hier?

[oselle]

What's a girl gotta do for some nice, quick, gratuitous, gen Dean-Cas h/c fic? Any suggestions? I'll take any hurt -- fevers, curses, gunshots, flus, you name it. Preferably Dean's the hurting one. But that's kinda screwed if Cas is still an angel, because he can just cure it. Hmmm. Sigh.

I've decided that I only have one thing on my S7 wishlist: I want Dean and Cas to hug. Just once, but with feeling. For heaven's sake. Isn't it about time? Hug it out, ya pretty bastards!

This is old so you've probably read it already but I only found it recently and thought it was beautiful. http://deancastiel.livejournal.com/920173.html

Oh dear me, what an excellent rec. I'd never read that -- in fact I've only read a couple of Dean/Cas fics and they were both slash. I read it through real fast and I'll have to read it again more carefully and leave some feedback for the author. What wonderful use of imagery and language. It gave me chills. Thank you so much for pointing it out to me!

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what I thought - powerful stuff! It still amazes me how much excellent writing is out there, waiting to be discovered... We have a very talented fandom!

I have a question -- can you recall after which S4 episode this fic takes place? Because I need to watch it like, RIGHT NOW.

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

Sorry I'd gone to bed when you posted this - but I'm not much use to you there anyway as I have no idea. I had read it that it was at some undetermined period after Lucifer Rising but I could be wrong. I see it was written after Season 4 finished and before the start of Season 5...Other than that, I got nuthin'.

[oselle.livejournal.com]

It must be post-Lucifer Rising but some things in it made me feel like it was more post "Monster at the End of This Book." I guess it's the author's creative license that has Dean winding up in the desert with Castiel.

Back in 2009 I used to spend a lot of time reading every Dean/Cas fic I could get a hold of, a lot of it H/C. I wish I had it bookmarked.

Here's one I dug up.

I want Dean and Cas to hug

Ah, damn it, now I'm looking forward to that and will once again be disappointed. But yes. Hugging.

Now that's just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!

Couple of my favs:

This one is a longer, multichap with some h/c mixed in there too. I just love her writing style (just a head's up that there are some grammatical errors, though) and the way she integrates other mythology/literary characters into the SPN universe. And the D/C stuff is hawt!

You picked out some of my faves there so that makes me think I should read the others! So much to read, so little time....

[muffaletta.livejournal.com]

Hee! Gotta love Dean whump!

[amber1960.livejournal.com]

Hell yeah!

[muffaletta.livejournal.com]

I'm an LJ idiot so I have no idea how to edit my post. But I spelled the second one wrong; it should be:

http://yellow-pomelo.livejournal.com/1104.html

(and for some bizarre reason, even though the link is correct, you have to click on the "I'm over 18" option to get to the third fic.)

[oselle.livejournal.com]

Oh, wonderful! This should keep me busy for a while. Thank you! I am woefully deficient in my knowledge of Dean/Cas fic.

The Big Freeze

[greenamberblue.livejournal.com]

Love love that story and one I was going to recommend, Cas is awesome and Dean is adorable and very very cold, bless him. Lots of hugging and cuddling and angst.

[ariadnes-string.livejournal.com]

sorry for the self-pimp, but you did say quick, gratuitous, gen Dean-Cas /h/c (emphasis on the shameless and gratuitous, in this case))....I've written a few others but they aren't gen....

I still haven't watched the last bits of S6, but if S7 involves a hug, sign me up :)

[oselle.livejournal.com]

How deliciously shameless and gratuitous! Thank you! What is it about Dean with a fever that's so appealing? The flushing? The sweating? The delirium?

[greenamberblue.livejournal.com]

This is where I found The Big Freeze, and there's some other good ones too http://spnstoryfinders.livejournal.com/5529392.html

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I've got a whole folder on Dean/Cas fics here and it's fast catching up on my Sam/Dean and J2 recs!!!

[oselle.livejournal.com]

LOL, Dean/Cas quickly becomes addictive!

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I don't have a lot of gen h/c fics to rec but a little Baylor-shaped birdie might have mentioned that you were jonesing for some Dean/Cas and, well, I might know a little something about that.

In no particular order:

Roses Are Planted Where Thorns Grow by Fayjay
Louder Than Bells by dotfic
West as the Wind Blows by xela_fic
The principle (of silver lining) by eretria
This Story Needs More Power Ballads by pyrebi
Steadfast by RivkaT
Contrapasso by takadainmate
Time On My Hands by murron
Below Skyscrapers by aesc
The (Mostly Accidental) Courtship of Dean Winchester by Everysecondtuesday
Spilt Milk by spark77
Underneath The Lantern by obstinatrix

I hope that and what all of the other people have recced holds you for a while. Because the internet is currently devoid of (good) new Dean/Cas and it's really super-frustrating.

Oh, I almost forgot. tracy_loo_who has a pretty comprehensive Dean/Cas recs list. It's kind of hit or miss but you may find something that works for you in the place where our tasts diverge.

Yes, this should tide me over. Thanks!!
