Dean/Castiel
Did What I Could, For One Of Us by haruslex
The one good thing he can say about the Apocalypse is that it gave him Cas by his side. And he will never let him go. Never.
OMG! This absolutely blew me away for reasons I can't go into without spoiling the fic. Just read it and you'll understand

Matchmaking For Dummies by morganoconner
It starts with an angel waking up in Sam’s bed...
HEEEEE!!!!!! This made me laugh so hard. Dean's reactions are the best.

Over The Hills And Far Away by wandersfound
Three months after a mysterious apocalyptic event, the remaining members of mankind begin to emerge from fallout shelters and underground bunkers. In the middle of the country, Dean insists on traveling east to find Castiel. By car and on foot, the brothers travel, out across the desolation of the world that was. Meanwhile, Chuck writes a new book.
So, I have apparently discovered that I love apocafics. I blame The End for being so awesome. This has nothing to do with The End by the way, it's just awesome.

"Listen," Sam says patiently. "If someone has to rule Hell, shouldn't it at least be someone we like?"
Oh, I love the idea behind this. Really different to most of the fics that deal with how the apocalypse ends.

Date Night by seraphwings
It's date night, and not hell or high water is gonna ruin that.
This is just adorable! It's sweet and funny and had me smiling all the way through it

You Give Yourself Away by hugglewolf
It's more than a loss of grace. Castiel is growing weaker by the day, people around him are acting weird and both he and Dean have a lot of issues to work through.
OMG! I love this! It's like the sex or die trope with an actual plot and the characterisation is spot on.

Musical Education by dametokillfor
For the comment_fic prompt, "Teaching Cas the joys of rock and roll."
This made me smile so hard! Cute and funny.

A Little Tender Loving Care by hereare_mysins
After Famine, Dean has had enough, Sam's healing and Castiel tries make the both of them feel better.
OMG! The video this is based on is adorable and the fic to go with it is just as cute


Misha Collins/Rob Benedict
Ready Steady by kaylbunny
“Would you sign my shirt?” Misha asks solemnly
Further proof that apparently Misha can be shipped with anyone in RPS. This is hot!


J2
Dead Things by hay1ock
November 2010: A virus raged indiscriminately across the surface of the Earth. Nine months later, and few survivors remained, a food source of the monsters created in the wake of the virus; the walking, dead flesh of things that were once human. Jensen Ackles was one of those survivors, living day to day out of the protective walls of a high security prison near Kansas City. A former cop, Jensen found himself amongst those responsible for over one hundred souls; risking his life to scavenge food and resources from the deserted cities and highways. But on one fateful venture, he perhaps found something, someone, who could change the grim outlook the future seemed to hold for him, and the rest of the world. He found Jared.
Oh, it's been ages since I read a good, solid J2 AU. This was excellent. Really well-rounded.
