like a fever that just won't break.

We haven’t had any Dean/Castiel recs in awhile! Soooo.

Fic:

No Stranger In Your Dreams by parenthetical
Author’s notes/summary: Dreams can be as dangerous as reality. Written for the prompt: Dean and Castiel have been meeting each other in secret, in dreams. Something follows them one night - something with teeth. And now Dean won't wake up... Spoilers for up until the end of season 4. Warnings: Some graphic depictions of violence. Dean/Castiel, PG-13.

Reccer's notes: Totally AWESOME premise, executed with grace. When Dean is attacked in his dreams it’s up to Castiel to put his psyche back together.

Casus Belli by seraphwings
Author’s notes/summary: Sam's losing his grip, but it's possible to cling to your last remaining lifeline too hard. Dean/Castiel, Sam/Dean. R.

AND it’s sequel;

Aegri Somnia by seraphwings
Author’s notes/summary: Sam made his choice. Now it's up to Castiel to find Dean, and up to Uriel to be sure Sam isn't going to stray from the path again. Dean/Castiel, Dean and Sam. R.

Reccer's notes: Featuring mind-controlled! and traumatized!Dean, morally ambiguous!Sam and comforting!Castiel, this is one of the best descriptions I’ve read of Sam’s slide toward the dark-side in season 4. It makes sense to me that he would be off-kilter and possessive of Dean after he returns from hell, and I really feel for all of the characters here.

There’s a third part to this series, btw, a WIP which I haven’t started yet. It’s called Nosce te Ipsum.
