do u have any fics that i wont have heard of? like ones with fewer hits so there harder to find
ooo this is a good one, anon! you haven't specified which fandom you're interested in, so I'll start with SPN and then do some other fandoms if people are interested :) and for the purposes of this, I'll be counting anything with under 5k hits as lesser known!
Lesser Known Destiel Fics
you're the one that i wanted to find by badritual (373)
The Castiel of old has fallen away like molted feathers, leaving behind a wholly new creation.
gay love pierced through the veil of death and saved the day by honeybee (444)
Cas doesn’t die. That’s literally it.
this is a good thing, dean. (prayer is a sign of faith) by cascountsdeansfreckles (529)
Dean’s legs still don’t want to move. He sits propped up against the wall and stares unseeing at the chair in the middle of the room. Everything that Cas said plays over and over in his head. The image of Cas looking devastatingly relieved, content, as he was taken from Dean won’t leave his mind.
He doesn’t know what else to do. So he prays.
1 Missed Call by glenien (597)
The buzzing never stops.
so it goes by K_K_TiBal (665)
Castiel returns one more time to retrieve something he left behind.
absurd in the best way by clasch (669)
Castiel tries to make a pie for Dean.
Bodily Communion by runsinthefamily (905)
Survival in Purgatory has some weird aspects.
may i feel said he by bk119 (1k)
a coda to 15.19. cas comes back, and words are said.
choices. by scoundrelhan (1.1k)
Castiel thinks he’s dying. Humans are always doing that.
you can have it, though by make_your_user_a_name (1.1k)
Jack was walking away and it was too late. It was too late because Dean didn’t think he would have to say anything. He thought Jack would bring it up and they would never have to know that he missed Cas so desperately it hurt. It hurt so goddamn bad.
And then Jack stopped and turned back to the Winchesters, his eyes focused on Dean. And that’s when it hit him. Jack knew. Jack knew what Cas had said. Jack knew Dean needed to say it or the second Cas was back everything would just go back to normal.
So he did.
“Bring him back.” His voice was low but it wasn’t threatening. It came out more broken than anything. Because he was so broken. And maybe it was okay to let them see it. “Bring Cas back, Jack. We,” he glanced at Sam and took a deep breath. “I need him.”
15x18 coda: it's in the being by contemplativepancakes (1.1k)
Blood splatters from a severed neck, the body twitching before it collapses to the floor. It sprays across Dean’s face, dotting red droplets over his cheeks and in his hair. Dean keeps his mouth shut so he doesn’t get the taste of copper stuck in it; he already can’t get Cas’s face out of his mind.
Dean knows this is the last place he should be, that with the world ending, it doesn’t really matter if there’s one less nest of vamps in the world, but if he stops moving, then he’ll… have to think.
“I wondered what my true happiness could even look like, because the one thing I want, it’s something I know I can’t have.”
Fuck, they wasted so much time.
15x19 coda: stripped of everything holy by contemplativepancakes (1.2k)
“About time we put you on the family tree, right?”
Jack sinks down in the chair across from him, contemplating. He puts the tip to the table and rests it there.
Jack glances up at him. “Why isn’t Cas’s name here?”
That’s a damn good question, Dean thinks. It’s because he was too much of a fucking coward. Dean’s still having trouble reconciling everything Cas said with the past ten years of his life. It seems like, maybe, if he thinks about it hard enough, he can see that Cas returned his feelings, but he still can’t believe Cas said all those things. He’s bullshit all the way through, but Cas… Cas hadn’t thought so.
Dean clears his throat. “We’ll add his next, huh?”
candles & wishes by harrow (1.2k)
Dean turned to Cas speculatively. “Do you have a birthday?”
Now Everything is Easy 'cause of You by chai_lattes (1.3k)
Cas never understood why humans were so fond of sleeping, but he was starting to. Dean chalked it up to knowing that they were finally safe, or Cas finally had a real bed, but Cas would just smile, quietly knowing the real difference was no longer having to sleep alone.
Cas reflects on being human, being happy, and being a morning person.
Chocolate, Caramel, and Zombies (Of a Metaphorical Sense) by TextReciprocation (1.4k)
Castiel approached the counter and looked at the menu contemplatively. The barista spun around to face him, eyes bright and hair untidy. He was roughly Castiel's height and build, with sandy hair and lightly tanned skin. Castiel's breath caught at the sight of him, but he bit his tongue, chastising himself.
Cute baristas were rarely gay and always taken. Castiel knew this. Fate, as it happened, was a cruel mistress.
Never Enough by make_your_user_a_name (1.5k)
It took him hours to notice it. He hadn’t felt it in the moment. Hadn’t felt the Cas’ hand stick slightly to his shoulder as it pushed him away, leaving him to face the Empty alone.
But now that he’d noticed it, it was all he could look at. That bright red handprint standing out starkly against his jacket. It was perfect, really. Not a drop out of place. Just a handprint and nothing else. That was all he had left.
The handprint where Castiel had “gripped him tight and raised him from perdition.” And now he’d saved him one more time. Same shoulder, same placement, same sting when Dean looked at it.
It was poetic in the cruelest of ways. And if it weren’t for everything, he would have thought this was Chuck’s writing. But, no. Castiel was the only part of Chuck’s story that he couldn’t control. Because Cas had fallen.
how's hope feeling today by sleepinnude (1.5k)
After Cas is gone, bees start to follow Dean.
Sunrise by mattzerella_sticks (1.7k)
Dean and Sam were free. Finally, unequivocally, free.
But this wasn't the happy ending Dean had expected. Maybe in the past, having Sam in the passenger seat tearing across an open stretch of highway as the sunsets, it'd be what he wanted. But that was years ago. He's not that man anymore. Dean's tired of sunsets, of saying goodbye. He yearns for a different ending. One that's less of an ending, and more of a beginning. A sunrise instead of a sunset.
Sam has his. Dean lost his. Despite this setback, he won't stop. He'll live in memory of his sunrise.
Except, what can he do when he feels those rays on his face again?
Loving Castiel by dinluke (1.9k)
“How did you find me?” Dean asks. Castiel squints and looks at him like he’s the sun.
“Your, uh, yearning was pretty loud,” he says sheepishly.
Sleep Deprivation by Honey_Honey (2.3k)
Dean licked his lips. They tasted like honey. Which was funny, seeing as it was the one part of his breakfast he hadn’t eaten. In fact, Cas had tried the honey instead.
Oh. Oh fuck.
“Did I just kiss Cas?”
And Sam’s descent into uncontrollable laughter was an answer enough.
Walk Through Fire For You by purple_charlie (2.3k)
Boyfriend.
The word still feels foreign in Dean’s mouth, still brings back echoes of John Winchester’s thinly-veiled (if even that) homophobia. "Man up, don’t be a sissy, I didn’t raise a fairy". It’s a swollen blister in the back of Dean’s mind, throbbing with pain whenever a stranger’s eyes linger too long on Cas’ hand in his, whenever a waitress double-takes at how close they sit in diner booths.
But here, dirty dancing with Cas in a warehouse full of other queer folks, Dean wants to shout from the rooftops- I’m Dean Winchester, I drive the baddest car in town, I lift heavy things for a living, and this is my boyfriend.
Could Not Return You by tigersinlondon (2.8k)
Dean might have gotten over himself when it comes to sleeping with Cas (in the sex way, not the cuddles-and-snoring way), and even telling him that he loves him, but he’s not ready to do anything crazy like hold his hand in public, or admit aloud that they’re in a relationship in front of Sam, or God forbid, actually share a room, a bed, a living space with Cas.
Funny Bone by PallasPerilous (4.9k)
It wasn’t even a particularly creepy skeleton; it was in kind of a “just chillin’” pose on the floor. One ankle was still locked up in a heavy iron cuff, at the end of a short chain leading back to the wall. Snoresville, as dead stuff goes; Dean’s seen worse at Disneyland.
It was the skeleton’s comment about Dean’s ass that really livened things up.
Compromise by tiamatv (7.5k)
It wasn't uncommon for Dean to find himself tracking down an ex-angel in their underground home in the middle of the night, because Cas got nightmares. Ten years ago, though, if anyone had told Dean this would become a semi-regular occurrence in his life, he’d probably have laughed so hard, his beer would have come out of his nose.
Crazy Hex Girlfriend by whichstiel (10k)
Dean and Castiel infiltrate an extravagant couples-only Halloween party at the invitation of the party’s host who has been receiving mysterious threats. They patrol the party for hex bags and dark altars, interview suspects, and Dean happily scores a lot of free food. He just wishes he could score with Cas.
How Many Slams In An Old Screen Door? [podfic] by Tenoko1 (15k/2hr podfic)
In which Castiel is a theatre major terrible at first impressions; Dean is a set designer who likes Cas anyway; and the most chaotic production of Les Miserables in history somehow manages to go off without a hitch. Or, just as you should never give a moose a muffin (because he'll want some jam to go with it), you should never give a blank check to a university theatre department. [podfic version]
The Cabin on the Lake by DeanRH (22k)
The Winchester brothers are long lost to history. The angel keeps the vigil, haunted by the shadows of his regrets.
Among other things.
this post is getting way too long so I'm gonna start a second one now!! hopefully you can enjoy these lesser known fics in the meantime :)

Lesser Known Doctor Who Fics
Hello everyone! Happy Doctor Who Day — here's some Doctor Who fics that have under 5,000 hits! I hope you enjoy them :)
Take It, Leave It (But you'd better believe it) by lloydsglasses (760)
“I told my foster mum that I’m gay. Now she keeps trying to set me up with guys."
“Ah,” says the Doctor, with a frown. “That seems… counterintuitive."
Self-Defenestration by gawayne (1.2k)
The Doctor jumps out of a window, and Donna discovers he isn’t quite as human as he looks.
I'm a satellite, I'm out of control by rainbow_porcupine_ninja (1.3k)
Yazmin Khan's so tired of running. The Doctor is always rushing, hurrying from one place to the next and never stopping to talk about it. There is always so much running. All Yaz wants to do was sit down.
OR: In which the Doctor and Yaz finally have that talk.
making time by thereweresunflowers (1.3k)
This time, they really have run out of time. It’s sliding away with the melting of her ice cream and the lump she can sense quietly building in Yaz’s throat. In mere hours, there will be so much they’ll have left unsaid.
There’s silence between the two of them and the Doctor has so many regrets.
or, the ice cream in space scene but there's kissing <3
Whatever fits my skin by lloydsglasses (1.4k)
“So, does that happen to you a lot?” Bill asks once they’re safely back in the Doctor’s study, each cradling a mug of tea. “Getting snogged by gorgeous women as a thanks for saving their lives.”
The Doctor sets his teacup down gently on the desk, mouth pursing in distaste. “Far more often than I’d like.”
it's the end of me, i won't let it be the end of us too by starstruckthirteen (1.6k)
“I’m not going to pretend this won’t hurt, Yaz, ‘cause it will and it pains me to tell you that there’s nothing we can do to stop it. But what that sadness means is that we’ve had such an amazing time, together. The Doctor and Yaz in the TARDIS! Just think of everything we’ve done.”
if it's left to chance or fate, i'll be lost by yasminkhxns (1.7k)
It feels like a nightmare. A living, breathing nightmare. Except this is real, and she would happily pluck the worst of her actual nightmares from her brain and trade it for this living hell. Because this is worse than anything her timeworn mind conjures in her fitful sleeps.
Because Yaz has been shot.
And the Doctor is helpless.
don't hold this war inside by WishingTree (1.8k)
“It’s just - I’m scared,” she finally manages.
“Scared?” the Doctor stills where she’s been trying to roll up the sleeves of her coat, shoving the material of one arm over her elbow and asking, “Scared of what?”
Yaz doesn’t answer, can’t answer, and the Doctor goes to reach for her, aborting the movement halfway and only managing an awkward swaying motion.
“...Scared of me?”
By your side by winged_daydreams (2.7k)
Once her breathing had slowed down and her heart didn’t feel like jumping out of her chest anymore, Yaz finally dared to open her eyes and was met with a smiling Doctor looking down on her.
“Hey, you.”
“Hey”, Yaz answered weakly, feeling extremely tired.
“Do you want to check?”
Yaz nodded. It usually helped.
Sitting up a bit, Yaz trailed her hands under the Doctor’s shirt and reached for her back. Her fingers pressed against the soft skin there, searching for wounds or scars. Once she was satisfied that the skin was perfectly smooth, she retrieved her arms and avoided the Doctor’s gaze, shaking her head in response.
“There’s no need to be embarrassed, Yaz”, the Doctor’s face slowly approached hers and left a chaste kiss on her lips. “What do you think of some breakfast?”
giving up and giving in by seaunicorn (3.1k)
It takes Yaz almost dying for the Doctor to actually confront her feelings.
Baby, it's cold outside. by Ineffablemurderhusbands (3.2k)
The fam and the Doctor goes ice skating.
The Doctor is not very good at it and ends up stumbling.
River catches her.
Painfully Transparent by seaunicorn (4.9k)
After her conversation with Dan, Yaz decides to tell the Doctor how she feels. Unfortunately, the Doctor doesn’t seem to want to discuss and avoids the conversation in increasingly ridiculous ways.
Five times Yaz tries to tell the Doctor how she feels and one time the Doctor finally listens.
the world was void by river_of_words (5.8k)
Yaz's first night on the Tardis contrasted with her last.
Crescendo by WordsInTimeAndSpace (6k)
As her relationship with the Doctor slowly develops into something a little more than friendship, Rose starts to wonder what's holding him back. But one fateful night, he confesses something that makes her realize she never had any reason to worry.
half the world away by timelxrd (9k)
Locked up in a prison cell to live out the rest of her days, the Doctor is left with no choice but to dwell on her most recent discoveries while those around her only chip away at her reserve.
Half a universe away, Yasmin Khan comes to the conclusion that, sometimes, the Doctor needs a helping hand just as much as the next person.
Please send these lesser known fics some love! And if there are any that you know of — whether they be your own or someone else's — please share them with me :)

THE PLANETS AND THE FATES AND ALL THE STARS ALIGN 🪐
Read on AO3 // Read on Wattpad // Playlist // Buy me a cup of tea ☕
Rating: Teen
Characters: The Doctor, Yasmin Khan, The Master, Dan Lewis
Relationships: The Doctor/Yasmin Khan
Tags: Angst with a Happy Ending, Fix it, Canon Divergence
Summary:
The Master planned for every circumstance except this one. The Doctor was supposed to regenerate into him; they were not supposed to swap bodies. The TARDIS arrives before he has time to mourn his plan, but a new one forms the moment a bewildered Yaz rushes towards him with open arms.
The Doctor was too weak to reciprocate the human's feelings. If he's going to ruin her reputation, he may as well break her hearts in the process.
Notes:
Yeah, I couldn't leave Power of the Doctor as it was. Yaz and the Doctor deserved their happy ending! But it's me, so they also deserve to get traumatised first. This is very much a fix it as in "these two characters should have kissed on screen", but also how I would fix the plot of the episode to make it a bit more interesting. I only have a vague plan for this so can't promise regular updates, but I haven't been able to stop thinking about Them since sunday, so they should come quick!
I hope you enjoy, and thank you for reading :D
omg so for lesser known fics, a lot of people know the "bloody but unbowed" stanford era masterpiece but the author posted a prequel AND sequel fic like 5 years later and they're even better!!! Ahh the way they write dean and cas.... but they have so few hits because of the delay. i want 2 spread awareness
ooo this series looks so good!! I thought you were talking about the Sherlock fic with the same name at first because it's one of my favourites 💀 but I think this is the one you mean!!
bloody, but unbowed by shootingstarcas (9.4k)
Sam doesn’t know what to expect when he walks into the courtroom. But of all the possibilities, he would never have imagined this one: his brother, grinning like the devil, in the defendant’s chair.
Or, the one where Sam never goes to Jericho with Dean, but instead pursues law school and a life with Jess. Dean falls in love with a gas station attendant named Castiel.
Six years after they last saw one another, Sam and Dean meet again in a courtroom. A lot can change in six years.
and then here is the prequel...
the beams of our house are cedar, our rafters are pine by shootingstarcas (7.5k)
Long-overdue prequel to "bloody, but unbowed". Dean meets Cas two years before the series starts, in a Gas-n-Sip in Rexford, Idaho.
Sorry it took five years and a pandemic. Stay safe stay home everybody.
and the last one!!
a flash of golden fire by shootingstarcas (4.1k)
Dean and Sam and Cas and Jess team up to go after the demon.
Sequel to "bloody, but unbowed," and an alternate version of late season 2.
thank you so much for sharing these with me!! I will have to check them out, I love stanford era stuff but supernatural as a law show too? these look amazing!!
