Summary
A teenage boy is left to die in a shallow grave and something slithers into his bones. Devotees of an ancient god work to bring Her into the world, as with equivalent fanaticism, a man on a mission picks them off one by one. A lonesome drifter crosses paths with a mysterious stranger and finds himself inexorably drawn into the middle of it all.
Dean Winchester is adrift. All he has is his car, the next hunt, and a conversation he doesn’t want to have waiting for him in California. Then a case involving mangled bodies washing up on shore in an idyllic lakeside community puts him on the trail of a man calling himself Castiel, and the dangerous web he’s entangled in. Dean is used to living in a world of monsters, but the End of Days is a little out of his wheelhouse. Especially when his only ally is determined to keep his secrets behind his teeth, even as they draw closer together. Still, he intends to see things through, no matter how dark the path ahead gets.
It’s either that, or call his brother.

Shit i forgot to bookmark this the first time I read it! Read on 20/01/2025
this fic was absolutely phenomenal- I’m going to postthe comment to the author I left which has major spoilers to review this fic - but highly recommend!!!!!!
SPOILERS BELOW
MAJOIR SPOILERS BELOW
MAJOIR SPOILERS FOR THE FICS PLOT BLOW
you’ve been warned.
I can count on one hand the amount of times I’ve commented on someone else’s fic but I just wanted to say… wow. I, like Cas wants to consume Dean so he is inside him and they are one for eternity, want this fic placed in my brain so it can replay like a movie and I can relive all the amazing moments for eternity.
This was phenomenal and I am so happy with how it ended. It had that eerie horror element all the way through, with first the unknown - who is Cas and what happened to him (or more so, what crawled inside) and what is his goals, then the weird dreams, then the people watching Dean and always feeling eyes on him - as something in the story was revealed to take away it’s unsettling element, something else replaced it.
I also want to mention the imagery in the dreams was so cool as it was (some of them) spooky. I always thought it was Cas aware Dean was dreaming about him, but then we find out Cas had no idea… I think I kinda figured it out around that dream when Dean wants to go into the mouth but it keeps him half out - that the dreams were always Cas’ influence on Dean and not Her (except we find out they’re one in the same haha) - which I then found interesting at the end that Cas could then see deans dreams and connection to him. Very cool
I loved both Cas and Deans writing and characterisation in this. I always love a socially inept Cas that hasn’t experienced the world but loves experiencing it through Dean - the mentions of him appreciating humanity and art, like canon, he develops through Dean. But also just always so happy to go along with what Dean wants, movie marathons and all. He’s just so so inlove arghhh. And the fact he is so blunt without social norm hold up’s (which typically holds up Dean majorly) making Dean off guard and more likely to open up…. Urh sorry now I’m literally just typing all my tangent thoughts instead of just bowing at your feet saying thank you for this fantastic piece of world building, characterisation, development of relationships, and feelings you’ve given me(many feelings like unsettlement and grief for Dean but also joy and love and ooo drama haha)
This was such a fantastic piece of work and so different to what I usually read, genre wise. I’m always interested in Eldritch in Fan Fic but it always leaves me unsatisfied or not quite what I wanted, but this… oof. So fucking good
Anyways all I have left is dribbly thoughts that repeat, “wow that was amazing”, and keyboard smashes. So I’ll leave my thanks here. But sooo so so so fricken good agshsjwjeheuebl

Summary
“What did you do now Merlin?”
“Got cursed.”
Merlin slumped into the room and fell onto the bench of the table across from Gaius, laying his head dramatically on a book of something or other Arthur didn’t bother to look too closely at.
“Cursed.” Gaius echoed, unimpressed.
“Cursed.” Merlin sighed back, like some kind of weepy maiden.
“He can’t lie,” Arthur supplied, walking further into the room and standing behind Merlin, pushing his head off the book roughly. Merlin squawked and glared at him before shaking his head and turning back to Gaius.
"It gets worse."

Merlin starts working for Gaius full-time and doesn’t give the Prince or the mad ramblings of a certain dragon any further thought.

The two of them strike up a rather unconventional friendship…

Omg wow this was fantastic
The writing and characterisation was on point for their younger selves, and it was such a good “different first meeting” fic, + a kind of role reversal, with Arthur having to hide a big secret from Merlin instead.
Merlin was so sweet, Arthur coming around and internal struggles was fantastic to see and Aithusa was amazing. Loved her addition.
Great fic

Wow this series has been incredible. Loved the different take - with a very powerful but jaded(?) Merlin - it’s not an easy time travel fix it. The writing is great, I love Aithusa.
I left some comments (so OOC of me) because some chapters had me soo stressed (in a good way haha) and I appreciate that whilst Merlin is powerful, he’s fallible, and makes mistakes.
Keen to see where this continues to go

Summary
“Arthur? Gwaine? What are you doing here?” Merlin sounded perplexed, as if he couldn’t quite fathom how they had managed to walk out of the castle on their own.
For several seconds, Arthur was distracted by the bloody entrails Merlin and Lancelot had been waving around like bait. The innards--which now hung limply in their grasps--might have been enough to turn a weaker man’s stomach, but they only gave Arthur a moment’s pause because then it hit him how mortifying this whole situation was. Was he really going to ask Merlin if he preferred Arthur over Gwaine?
Apparently Gwaine didn’t have any such qualms. “We were just wondering which of us is your favourite.”
Merlin stared blankly, a sight that was especially absurd given the blood coating his arms all the way to his rolled-up sleeves. “I'm sorry?”

Omg this was amazing. I’m so glad Gwen told those two knuckleheads that Lance was clearly the favourite
And also Lance just being a chaotic good but bad influence on Merlin cause he’s too supportive
This was everything to me. So comedic
Loved it

Summary
The voice calling out to her turns out to be a dragon, who seems a bit shocked when she arrives, like he wasn’t expecting her--like he wasn’t summoning her, even. And he keeps calling her “young warlock” before correcting himself, and yes, Merlin is flat-chested, but she’s also wearing a skirt. Season One as it might have been if Merlin were born female.

Ahhh I loved this. I had a dream last night that Arthur found out when Merlin was giving Boren the “I’m the last dragonlord” speech so I was craving a magic reveal surrounding that. This was a great find on my search though! Exactly how I would hope Arthur would react/how he would come to the conclusion

When Dad shows up at Stanford, asking for help in finding Dean, Sam has no choice but to go. His search leads to a cache of VHS tapes that Dean left behind, documenting his recent hunts. Each case is more bizarre than the last, but one thing is clear: Dean may have thought he was tracking something big, but something had been tracking him back.

This was such a cool fic! Loved the eerieness and Like? Idk how to describe it? Working backwards? The author said “found tapes” which fits - anyways - loved that aspect of it.
The horror elements were super spooky and trying to figure out what was happening along side Sam was cool!

Summary
“Don’t come any closer."
The man stops his approach. “Or you’ll… throw a book at me?”
The stranger’s eyes follow the chain from Dean’s ankle to the wall and then centers back to him and the book. He can practically hear the guy thinking something like, ‘what good is a book gonna do you when you’re chained up like an animal?’
“Are you gonna kill me?” Dean hesitantly looks up. It’s a little disorienting to be met with the biggest kicked-puppy-eyes he’s ever seen before. He didn’t expect that sort of expression on the face of someone who was choking a guy to death a few minutes ago.
---
After getting kicked out from home, Dean lives on the streets selling himself to survive, only to get kidnapped and imprisoned. His savior comes in the form of a man murdering his kidnapper. Not wanting to go back to his lonely, homeless life, he seeks out this mysterious stranger to try and find somewhere he can belong.
Or: Dean is saved by Cas. Cas doesn't want anyone to find out he's a serial killer, so he tries his best to stay hidden. Dean follows him anyway.

Wowowowowwowzas I loved this soo much.
I loved both Dean and Cas and their relationship development and all their little moments and asdfghjkkl
Okay so first - really appreciate the author not flogging a dead horse on the darker parts of this story. It was there, it was treated well, and it wasn’t just angst and fucked up shit. The Alister stuff was really brief and not graphic and I’m grateful cause it was my biggest worry going in
Okay - now - Cas. Adored him. I love how the author approached his character- and the way Dean describes his personality. The way he treats dean. Just augh I love him.
Dean was hilarious. His one liners and personality was so fun. And his rationalisation of everything was so fair. Same dude
I loved their friendship into relationship, all the little plot points and things that happened, like Lisa, it was all so good.
Loved the end. I was so excited to see Bobby’s name in the characters list and he lived up to everything. From his being a father figure to the boys when young. To no questions asked helping Dean now.
I would have loved to see a Sam and Dean reunion but that wouldn’t have worked for the place the fic needed to end, in terms of them staying off police radar as killers. Was still such a good addition.
All the fluff and angst was done so well.
Loved everything about this fic

Summary
“It’s like being chained to a comet,” the man explains, as Dean leans his elbows on the edge of the table and watches the man devour what Dean would call, at best, a third-rate cheeseburger.
The man is describing how it feels to be the one in charge of the entire country, responsible for the safety and wellbeing of the free world.
Or,
Dean is a custodian at a fast food restaurant, and Castiel is President of the United States.
