The Lesser Known Destiel Fics Collection
Welcome to the most underrated collection on AO3!! Every fic in this collection is something someone out there feels should have more views, more kudos, more comments, more love and recognition! That's our aim--connect discerning Destiel readers trying to find more diamonds in the rough to enjoy. So many surveys aim to catalog our "favorites" and "top" fics, and those are great! But let's face it, some real gems are being missed out on this way!
Enter: Us! Being a "Lesser Known Fic" is an honor. Someone loves your story so much, they want more of the world to read it!! However, if you would like your fic removed, please just message @caslostwings on Twitter or @castielslostwings on tumblr! Recs may also be submitted this way between rounds.
Fic recs are typically collected via Twitter "Rounds." The first was held in early April of 2021, and another will happen soon. You can see the original tweets by searching the hashtag #lesserknownfics.
As of now, the collection is closed, but it may be opened in the future. More recs will definitely be added!

Summary
Dean has a good life, really. Sam is doing well at Stanford, and Dean has settled in for his second year as a mature engineering student at Kansas State. His best friends seem to think he must be lonely being single and living alone, but they don’t know his secret: Dean already has a crush on his online friend and mentor AngelOfBees, but he's not been brave enough to tell him the truth.
Unfortunately, Dean underestimates his geeky, meddling friends and his crafty brother. Before he knows it he is a stand in contestant for Ready Player Two, a nerdy dating show hosted by his best friend...

Summary
Castiel asks Dean to teach him about sex, and Dean thinks his brain might short circuit, especially since this clearly means more to Cas than just sex. Friggin angel. Friggin feelings. And This. Was not. Supposed to. Be hot.
Pretty much what it says on the tin; Dean shows Cas how to jerk off while realizing this goes a lot deeper than that, for both of them. Had to get around to some angel and hunter smut sooner or later lol.
Addition to summary: And this. Was not. Supposed to. Be multiple chapters. LOL. These two would demand a full blown love story with something like a plot and everything. Guys, you're killing me...

Summary
“I screwed up,” Castiel chokes, leaning forward to cradle his head in his hands. His sunglasses slide back and slip to the concrete, but he can’t find the energy to retrieve them. Not now. “God, Dean. What am I going to do?”
“What are you talking about, man?” Dean grabs his phone and starts digging, and Castiel can feel the moment Dean gets it, not because of the curses he’s spewing under his breath but because of the way the air shifts, winding tight around them. “Dude, you—” Dean huffs and tries again. “You told your mom you’re married?”
In order to save face at Gabriel's wedding after a drunken comment to his estranged mother, Castiel and Dean return to Lawrence pretending to be married. So, why is no one surprised?

Summary
A romantic’s take on Benny’s POV as they scour Purgatory for Castiel, and a little after they find him. I’m sorry, the plot bunny made me. Obligatory gore, it is Purgatory after all, and warm-fuzzies through the eyes of a vampire who’s more human than he liked to believe. R.I.P Benny, Destiel, fluff, one-shot.

Summary
Just as Dean is starting to get comfortable at his new mining job in Nevada, the site is shaken by the announcement of a six-week visit from a team of consultants hired to make changes to the practices and procedures of the mine. Among that team is Castiel Novak, one of the most coolly infuriating, stuck-up, unfairly attractive men Dean has ever met.
The friction between them comes to a head during an unexpected but scorching hot makeout session at a company picnic, and they soon fall into a pattern of hooking up at the site or after work at Castiel’s hotel. But it’s just sex, or so they keep telling themselves. Castiel is only in Nevada for six weeks. They’ll have their fun, and then it’ll be over. But as those six weeks go by and they gradually get to know each other, both of them find themselves wondering if there might be a chance it could become something more.
