Looking for No More Blood to Bleed by James C. Ridley

I've seen mention of this fic in a couple of their other Brotherhood fics, but I can't find it anywhere. Was it ever even published? Does anyone have a copy they're willing to share if it did indeed exist?

I've posted to r/DeletedFanfiction.

Thanks!

Random thought on Mystery Spot and Hell

Spoilers for S3/4

Sooo....we know that Dean was dead for a hot minute during Mystery Spot. And I know that Gabriel reverses time again to bring him back so Dean has no memory of those months. BUT what if there's a bit of his soul that 'remembers' Hell and the roughly 80(?) years he spent there during that episode, and it's just obscured by time magic wall thing? And he just hasn't scratched it? Idk, I just find it to be an interesting thought.

Looking for 'Heart of Thunder' by ColdIntheStudio

I've already posted in DeletedFanfiction and found some of the WBM pages, but it's missing some chapters. Does anyone have the epub or pdf?

Looking for more AUs like Four Letter Word for Intercourse and Hautley's Bend

I'm coming up for air after back-to-back binges. The first was my intro to Destiel, and oh...my god. I had it downloaded as one of my browsing-huh-might-be-interesting bulk downloads and randomly opened it not looking at the tags and I was hooked from the very start. I started it just to see and just couldn't stop. I don't think I've ever been hooked so fast. I LOVED the 2PLT, which was new to me. I ADORED how Cas was characterized. He was so sweet, calming, genuine. Dean was characterized so believably, with Dean figuring out his own identity. I'm not usually drawn to some of the NSFW tags tagged but...it worked and now I want more lol. For a fic filled to the brim with smut it was not really about the smut but about the connection and growth. I ripped right through this. I wouldn't change this fic at all. It was perfect. I was just left wanting more because I didn't want it to end. Not just Dean/Cas, but more interactions with other characters once their relationship was realized.

Hautley's Bend was so good in a different kind of way. I wasn't into the bully-Dean at first, and something about it still sits a bit oddly with me, liked I had gotten a bump to the head and suddenly found I was sitting up looking around in dazed confusion. Whatevs, I can roll with it. I just loved it so much. I identified with Dean's trauma, spiral, coping mechanism, and gradual recovery/growth, and I felt they were approached realistically without being over-dramatized if that makes sense. I think that's the big reason why I liked the fic, along with how Cas was with Dean. I just wanted to wrap him in a blanket burrito, he was so sweet. I liked loathing Alastair with blood-boiling rage and getting a resolution. I binged this and somehow finished in less than 24 hours? Or am I missing a day lol -- see again: dazed confusion.

I think the things I like that connect these two fics so strongly for me are:

  • Long and well-written. Usually over 100k at least. (Busty FanFic Beauties?)
  • College/HS AU (I'm obsessed rn), with Dean/Cas being contemporaries
  • I'm a Dean person. Mostly enjoy Dean POVs to see inside his noggin. But I also enjoy other perspectives on him.
  • Dean's trauma/whump/angst/John/etc - the dude's got so much going on
  • Cas being Dean's metaphorical rock and mostly-ish has a handle on his own issues
  • Dean is Not Dumb and is complex/layered
  • Well done smut (esp 4LW omg how?)
  • Mostly Dean-centric/POVs

Other considerations:

  • Medium leaning to sloooow burn. I honestly categorize the fics as medium-burn since there is strong interest from an early point. I like the development and baby steps of the relationship. And the pining! Might be why most of what I read is well over 100k and why I love a 300k+ fic
  • I like Dean & Other interactions, esp. Gabe and Crowley. The guy needs some friends.
  • LOVED the 2PLT and pining of 4LW. I was mentally cackling and kicking my feet every time they were oblivious.

I know this might seem really picky and I'm rambling, but I'm just lowkey obsessing over these fics and need moooore. If you could recommend fics that might fit what I'm looking for, please rec 'em! If you could say a short blurb on why you loved them and why they fit, that would also help me find my next obsession! Thanks so much!!!

  • No Wincest please...I have not dived into that pool and don't know if I ever will tbh. I'll never say never, but I just have a hard time with the incest part atm
  • Not a huuuuge Dean/OC fan but I occasionally fall in love with an OC
  • Not a big reader insert fan

Looking for fics which could match the following vibes/what ifs

I'm new to SPN fics and am coming from HP fandom. Anyways, I'm rewatching the series (on season 6, haven't seen 13-15 at all) and also looking for fics. I was wondering if there were any good fics with the following vibes:

  1. Where Dean is raised from Hell but has amnesia. Maybe he doesn't know his brother, know about monsters, etc. How/when does he reunite with his brother? How does this change the story?

  2. Where Dean is raised from Hell and Castiel accidentally left him with a bit of grace. Does this lead to developing extra powers? Wings? Angel Dean? Preferably unintentional, but I can't be too picky lol.

  • I read megonagall410's Love, Fate and Prophecy HP/SPN series and loooved it, so something similar with Dean??
  1. What if Sam was taken as a baby? Or they grew up apart and not knowing about each other for some reason? When/how would they meet again?

  2. What was Dean up to between S4 and S6? I know he tried the white-picket fence life, but what if there was more?

  3. What if no demon would make a deal at the end of S2?

  4. What if CPS managed to take them away from John?

Prefer long fics. No wincest. If Destiel then slow burn.
