Mixtape Book Club

Arts EN ↓ 49 episodes

Supernatural has inspired a huge number of fanworks, and Destiel is the most popular romantic pairing within the show’s works on archiveofourown.org. MalMuses and EllenofOz discuss a broad variety of fan fiction featuring Dean and Castiel including their picks for certain tropes, delve into behind-the-scenes writing topics and character discussions, and even bring you special guests from within the Destiel fandom. Supernatural may be ending, but the world and the characters live on…and the story ends when we say it does.
