    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.
