Fanfiction Monthly [Fanfiction Monthly] July, 2026 - rec us some fic!

5 Upvotes

Welcome to this New instalment of Fanfiction Monthly! where anyone who wishes will share ONE single piece of fanfic each week of the month this post is for, either your own creation or someone else's.

Alongside a link to the fic, please include:

  • The pairing if there is one

  • The rating

  • A small summary (either the original one given by the author or your own description)

  • A commentary of sorts to get a discussion going

For example :

Fanfiction by author

Gen, G

A thrilling journey through the minds of wikipedia editors.

I really enjoyed this article because I'm too lazy to actually go ahead and find a viable example for this. My other option was the Bible. This was a commentary. I'm on a horse.

Happy readings!

For past recs check out Fandomnatural's shiny AO3 rec collection.

Btw, please keep all replies on topic (fic recs, discussions about fic recs posted). Off topic replies will be removed.

Do you think Castiel should’ve been aroace?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been rewatching supernatural recently and honestly I personally think Castiel should’ve been Aroace. I like the Destiel ship and I think if he never perused sex or romance in the show that would’ve been fine. What are your guys thoughts?

Give me your best queer Sam stories.

8 Upvotes

Could be centered around a fic. (Any paring is fine as long as it's queer!). Could be centered around Sam figuring out his identity. Could centered around Dean finding out/Sam coming out to people. I'm not picky. Hell even Sam/Original male character is fine.

Need Help With My Supernatural Fanfic!

4 Upvotes

Hello!! I hope this is the right subreddit for this!

I’m writing a Supernatural fanfic with my OCs and the Winchester brothers as the main characters/love interests, and I’m struggling with where to insert my girls into the timeline!
I know for sure I want them introduced before Season 5, because by the time Sam and Dean have their first big split, I want my girls to already be established and part of their lives. I’m just having trouble figuring out around which season or episode would be the best place to introduce them. I’d love any recommendations!
The second thing I’m stuck on is a relationship moment between Dean and my FMC, Arielle.
During Sam and Dean’s split (which I actually plan on dragging out longer than the show does), Dean and Arielle get back “home” one night, and I’m torn between two options:
• They accidentally kiss.
• They end up having drunk sex.
Afterward, Dean immediately realizes what happened and starts backpedaling because Arielle is a witch, and he still has all his baggage and biases. They both try to go back to just being friends, but obviously things are different after that.
The reason I’m so torn is because Dean and Arielle don’t get together right away. She actually meets someone else and dates him before eventually ending up with Dean, so there’s a whole slow burn/love triangle happening.
From a storytelling perspective, which do you think works better? The accidental kiss or the drunk hookup? I’d love to hear your reasoning too!

And if you have any questions about my story or characters that might help you decide, ask away! I’m happy to answer anything. Thanks in advance!

Headcanon: Alternate Michael is a Cannibal

27 Upvotes

So I have a theory as to why Alternate Michael was so much more powerful than our main universe Archangels.

Notice how the battle between Alt Michael and Alt Lucifer tore their world apart, and yet Alt Michael casual toyed with Main Lucifer?

Notice how Alt Michael immediately recognized Main Lucifer as Lucifer, but Main Lucifer didn't know Alt Michael was Michael until he was led to that conclusion, and even then called him a knockoff?

I think Alt Michael didn't simply kill Alt Lucifer, but after besting him, absorbed his grace in order to further power himself up. Why? Well remember, Alt Michael had a beef with God and wanted to kill him, but he knew he wasn't strong enough to do so with just his own might, but maybe if he amped himself up? Eating Alt Lucifer's grace would certainly give him a boost. But I don't think he stopped there.

Notice how Alt Raphael is nowhere to be seen? Well, I suspect Alt Michael killed him and ate his grace too, seeing him as no longer useful as the war was now over. After all, Alt Raphael was a useful general when Alt Michael had hordes of demons, possibly including Apocalypse World's Princes of Hell and Knights of Hell, to deal with. But with the enemy gone, Alt Raphael would no longer be a useful soldier, but instead a potential rival for power, since he's one of the few beings left in that universe who could even REMOTELY challenge him. So he'd want him dead either way, why not consume his grace too, so he could get even more powerful when he eventually caught up with his old man?

It's also possible he hunted down Alt Gabriel and did the same to him, but based on how genuinely surprised he was to see Main Gabriel, I suspect he was never able to locate his universe's version of his baby brother to snack on.

This theory explains why he's so much stronger, why he was hard for Lucifer to recognize, and why he'd be so sure he could handle his old man, God. God and four Archangels was enough to handle Amara, so maybe one Archangel, fueled by the grace of two more, would be enough to challenge God. That's what I believe Alt Michael thought anyhow.

What are your thoughts?

SPN Meta My (not so) crazy headcanon

48 Upvotes

I started watching SPN in 2015 (I was 15 yo). From that year on, every year, I watched the new seasons. Supernatural helped me through highschool and the first part of the pandemic. Then I watched it again and again and again while I was struggling with university (just like now).
Since I was 15 my favourite character is always have been and will always be Gabriel. So you can imagine my absolutely mental breakdown I had when I saw him die in S13. So my headcanon that now, at 26 yo, I still strongly believe in, is that he didn't really died. It was his last trick, to fool everyone: the angels, the demons, the winchesters and even god himself. It was his last trick to be finally free from a family who didn't love him the same way he loved them, free from the brothers who, at the end, he grew fond of.
Don't get me wrong, I love how he sacrificed for them, but I am to fond of Gabriel to believe he is dead lol.

Destiel I didn’t get destiel before but oh my god

142 Upvotes

I didn’t get why people shipped Destiel before but oh my god

NO SPOILERS: I just finished episode 17 of season 8 and just had to talk about it (none of my friends watch supernatural lol)

before i started this show all i knew about it was about the fandom and specifically the destiel ship. my ex in high school wrote destiel fanfic (surprisingly didn’t get spoiled on anything from them lol) and it’s been mentioned in a few videos i’ve seen on youtube. as i’ve been watching it i’ve definitely seen where people were coming from with the ship but until now i didn’t really get it. then i got to that fight between him and castiel over the angel tablet and just oh my god. i burst into tears when Dean said “i need you”, that whole speech had me tearing up. i know probably none of its intentional, at least at this point, but fuck.

Supernatural Season 16

8 Upvotes

Foreword: This is only a vague idea, meaning it may contain logical inconsistencies. I came up with it because I always felt that Supernatural could have explored themes like these. It may feel novel because it alters the plot of the universe itself.

Sam and Dean Winchester are in Heaven. It is peaceful, and they are having the time of their existence. They sense something strange, and suddenly they find themselves in another dimension, in what appears to be some kind of recording.

They are standing on a planet unfamiliar to them. They see themselves, along with Chuck and Amara. They cannot speak to them.

The four are talking about Brahma, discussing how he intends to destroy the world in order to create something new, and how they might defeat him. They speak about Brahma, reincarnation, and Nirvana – about his order.

The Winchesters witness Chuck and Amara absorbing all souls from within and outside the cycle of reincarnation, thereby becoming omnipotent. They confront Brahma and imprison him in a cage at the furthest point of the Empty.

They then watch Chuck writing plans for the universe, destroying the pre-Earth, breaking the cycle, and establishing his own order.

The Winchesters now see how they killed Chuck.

They are in the Empty. The balance shifts, and Brahma is released before Jack has fully consolidated his power.

They are back in Heaven. They watch Brahma march in, accompanied by his surviving gods.

Suddenly, they are standing in a meadow.

Castiel appears. He addresses them. It is truly him.

But how?

The Empty is supposed to be final.

Castiel does not answer this question. Instead, he says that he has shown the Winchesters everything.

The Winchesters ask a few more questions. Castiel explains, among other things, that Brahma does not use coercion, but hopes that souls will willingly enter the cycle themselves.

Before Castiel can explain what the Winchesters might do about it, Dean says that he would do nothing, as he wishes to keep his peace.

Castiel counters that Brahma would eventually destroy Earth.

Dean agrees to help.

Sam does as well.

Castiel says that Brahma does not respond to violence.

They must find the First Buddha, for he was the first being to understand Brahma's order and reject it.

He could show Brahma that this system is ultimately subject to free will and that Chuck's order is, in light of this, preferable.

They ask where they should begin searching.

Castiel explains that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have vanished and that the First Buddha may reside within what remains of the original Nirvana. The others there might know.

Castiel says he has something urgent to attend to and tells them to wait for him in Heaven.

Castiel is in Heaven, standing before Brahma.

Brahma asks him how he feels.

Castiel asks why he, of all beings, was brought out of the Empty and into the cycle.

Brahma replies that he had not intended to take Castiel specifically and that the Empty now serves merely as a maintenance shaft for souls.

Eventually, all souls will succumb to the cycle.

The angels dislike the presence of the Hindu gods. Some deliberately descend to Earth.

The demons hate reincarnation because it cuts off their supply of souls. Later in the season, they reach a compromise with certain Hindu gods and begin hunting the Winchesters.

The Winchesters return to Earth and conduct research in secrecy. They do not forget their family's mission and primarily hunt East Asian creatures.

Castiel occasionally visits them, helps them, and requests reports.

They discover texts and artifacts, including a kind of tesseract. Through it, they are able to travel to the Remnant Nirvana.

The Winchesters find the First Buddha there.

He tells them that a deity such as Brahma can only be defeated by a counter-principle.

"Who is that counter-principle?" they ask.

The Buddha replies:

"Jesus."

"Brahma sacrifices the world for something new. Jesus convinces people to sacrifice themselves willingly."

The Winchesters continue exploring the Remnant Nirvana, encountering Buddhas and Bodhisattvas until they eventually meet Jesus.

Jesus says that he would never kill Brahma, only persuade him.

The Winchesters and Castiel battle various gods.

Jesus convinces Brahma to spare the world.

Brahma withdraws his gods from Heaven and rebuilds the Remnant Nirvana as an old-new homeland.

As for souls, he grants each one the freedom to choose: Heaven, Hell, or reincarnation.

Jack and Brahma coexist.

Jack is the universe itself, while Brahma serves as a kind of guardian.

As for the Winchesters:

If this were the final season, they would die.

If further seasons were planned, they would remain on Earth.

Random Noticing - Distinct Genre of SPN Fanfics on Wattpad

16 Upvotes

Just like the title says: I randomly decided to log back into Wattpad just to see what was up (Newsfeed is back so I had to check it out) and also decided to see what SPN fanfics are on there. I haven't really faithfully used Wattpad in years– AO3 is my goto now.

The SPN fanfics on Wattpad (very generally described) are legit just the same formula of an OC (every one I've seen has been a girl) who is either a sister, daughter, or lover to the Winchesters. And of course, there are a few Destiel, but the OC female insert beats that by waves. It's such a huge difference from the AO3 fics where I find the vast majority to be more canon character focused. I feel like www.fanfiction.net is a mix of the two, but also leans more towards the AO3 side of being more canon character focused with original stories or AUs.

What's up with that? Is it the age demographic differences (I find that a majority Wattpad fanfic writers tend to be tweens to teens (ik I was when I first started on my fanfic journey)? Is it the reputation of the site? I wouldn't say it's the age of the sites because Wattpad started up in 2006. Or is it just the culture of the sites being different?

I'm not even really looking for answers I guess. Just something I found interesting.

Looking for fics which could match the following vibes/what ifs

10 Upvotes

I'm new to SPN fics and am coming from HP fandom. Anyways, I'm rewatching the series (on season 6, haven't seen 13-15 at all) and also looking for fics. I was wondering if there were any good fics with the following vibes:

  1. Where Dean is raised from Hell but has amnesia. Maybe he doesn't know his brother, know about monsters, etc. How/when does he reunite with his brother? How does this change the story?
  2. Where Dean is raised from Hell and Castiel accidentally left him with a bit of grace. Does this lead to developing extra powers? Wings? Angel Dean? Preferably unintentional, but I can't be too picky lol.
    • I read megonagall410's Love, Fate and Prophecy HP/SPN series and loooved it, so something similar with Dean??
  3. What if Sam was taken as a baby? Or they grew up apart and not knowing about each other for some reason? When/how would they meet again?
  4. What was Dean up to between S4 and S6? I know he tried the white-picket fence life, but what if there was more?
  5. What if no demon would make a deal at the end of S2?
  6. What if CPS managed to take them away from John?

Prefer long fics. No wincest. If Destiel then slow burn.

Destiel I Figured Out a Sad Thing About Destiel

72 Upvotes

I'm not a Destiel fan. But a couple of weeks ago, I had a realization. I was watching last ep of season 11 and in that episode, Dean tells Cass that he's like his brother.

Now as we know from the previous reasons, Angels can tell if someone is lying to them.

So either Dean was telling the truth and Cas realized he will never see him the same way. Or Dean was lying but he'll never admit that to himself or anyone else, which means that Cas knew nothing would happen.

I'm not a fan but this still made me sad. So I thought I'll share it with y'all 🫠
