Wincestiel (Sam/Cas/Dean) Rec List

I'm reading less Supernatural fic lately, so I might actually be slowing down and finding other fandom interests, but I bookmarked quite a few stories over the past year and would like to share them, so here is a rec list for Sam/Cas/Dean fic. Title: The Three Body Problem Author: kisahawklin Rating: E Word Count: 36843 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Cas asks the Winchesters on a date. Yes, both of them. My notes: Cas wants a romantic relationship with both the Winchesters together.  The first half of this fic is fluff, where the three of them go on cute dates together, the second half is pure smut, intermixed in the whole thing is a good deal of angst, where Sam and Dean try and negotiate a relationship with Cas, while also trying to come to terms with the idea of them being in a sexual relationship together. Title: Found & Lost! Author: tfw_ftw Rating: E Word Count: 5286 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: The wedding photo. The cabin. The irritatingly perfect family postcards that Castiel insisted they order. Sam's been waiting for this longer than he cares to admit and fuck it, he deserves this. My notes: This is such a bittersweet kind of fic. The sex is good, but what really sells it, is the quiet domesticity that the three of them share. A nice imagining of what Sam thought retirement could have looked like for the three of them. Title: Closed Curtains Author: mollrach13 Rating: M Word Count: 7710 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: When Sam, Cas and Dean settle in New Haven Sam thinks he has the best of all worlds. His damaged mind on the mend, the love and support of his brother and angel. But then, inevitably, it all starts to fall apart. My notes: Sam feels insecure in his relationship with Dean and Cas, while also trying to deal with his trauma, this leads him to making some incorrect assumptions.  I'm a sucker for insecure Sam, and this fic feeds that itch very well. Title: The Secret Diary of Castiel aged 4,237¾ Author: MissyJack Rating: E Word Count: 1578 Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (nothing bad in here, just implied smut) Summary: This is an extract from Castiel’s Diaries. He worries on a regular basis about failing to stop the end of the world, the number of sins he is committing during his time on Earth and whether his trench coat makes his butt look big. He has become involved in two romantic relationships. The first is with the charismatic, morally corrupt but attractively short Dean Winchester. The second relationship is with the haughty Sam Winchester, whom he initially dislikes because he used to drink demon blood and is very tall. My notes: A righteous Cas keeping a dairy of him being lead astray by the Winchesters.  This story is hilarious, it takes the otherness of early seasons Cas, and just rolls with it.  Each diary entry just puts a bigger smile on my face. Title: Into the Light of the Dark Black Night Author: BewareTheIdes15 Rating: E Word Count: 23104 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply (there is a scene where Sam is in one of his feral states and tries to forced himself on Cas, but Dean stops it) Summary: Across the space of a thousand lonely miles and approximately four and a half feet of boot-worn, hide-anything-colored carpet, Dean watches his brother twitch. Twitch. Twitch again. Then still, stop. Breathe. Twitch. My notes: Would you like a whole lot of angst sprinkled with some smut?  Than this might be the fic for you.  This fic shows Sam's trauma from Hell differently from canon, Sam has moments where he is inconsolable and must be held, to other times where he is almost feral, intermixed with days where he is just regular Sam again.  Cas is human again after the whole Leviathan arc, Dean is just confused and heartbroken about the whole thing, and how they all deal with situation is probably not the most healthy. I think the compelling part of this story is the three of them trying to overcome their trauma, while ultimately coming together. Title: dust off your highest hopes Author: crystallized Rating: G Word Count: 1690 Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (nothing bad in here, just implied smut) Summary: Bobby shows up the next morning, pounding on their door with answers to the case, and when Dean answers in just a pair of jeans and Bobby looks around him to see Sam and Cas still laying in the bed, Bobby's reaction is pretty much exactly the same as it was with just the brothers all those weeks ago. My notes: This little fic is sweet, just a happy little look at how their live in the bunker could have been Title: Ripening Author: Vera (Vera_DragonMuse) Rating: E Word Count: 4216 Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (nothing really bad in here, just smut) Summary: Castiel travels far and wide, but he always comes home to a low slung cabin by the lake. My notes: Old established Wincestiel, with a generous dose of smut, but there is also something so domestic and lovely about the whole thing Title: I Think I Might’ve Inhaled You Author: WhoopsOK Rating: E Word Count: 9954 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: "Sam knows what he has to do, ignores Dean calling his name as he storms out of the room, fear and revulsion rolling in his gut. Sometimes you just have to sweat the fever out alone before you contaminate anyone else." (Sam gets hit with a love potion that makes it hard to keep himself in check.) My notes: Sam gets hit with a love potion, sort of, it make him touch starved and desperate for attention from Cas and Dean.  Sam has a lot of internal angst, because he feels something is wrong with him, and he doesn't want to push Dean and Cas into anything.  Once again this one fulfills my insecure Sam wants, and it ends with some delicious smut. Title: Something To Do With Love Author: AxeMeAboutAxinomancy Rating: E Word Count: 3442 Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Summary: Something fell on Dean. My notes: Dean gets hit with a curse, sort of, and feels freezing cold and can only be warmed up by skin to skin touch, so I think you can see where this is going.  I found the concept of this fic very humorous, but it is also kind of sweet, and of course smutty.
