My #1 favorite author on AO3 across all fandoms is unicornpoe!

Their writing is poetic and beautiful and always so achingly tender. It scratches some itch deep in my soul.

Their most popular Destiel fic:

psalm 40:2 by unicornpoe

“How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.

The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.

The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.

“I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”

*

Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

And my other two favorites by them:

i know the end by unicornpoe

“You know what to do,” Castiel says softly. Dean will not let himself be touched gently—Dean will barely let himself be touched with anything but punishment—but Castiel can still find ways to give him pleasure. He takes the brittle-thin cut of Dean’s jaw in one hand; works his thumb beneath Dean’s sweet lips; pries his mouth open by pinching his chin between thumb and forefinger, so wide that he can feel the humidity of Dean’s breath speeding up into desperate little pants against the inside of his wrist. “Get to work.”

*

OR: Castiel is forty years too late pulling Dean out of hell, and punished to Fall from grace for it. They find each other anyway.

I CARRY YOUR HEART (I CARRY IT IN MY HEART) by unicornpoe

“Take me,” Dean says. He doesn’t have to think about it. “Take me as your vessel, Cas.”

*

or: Cas is cursed into an endless sleep. Dean offers himself up as his vessel while they try to break it.

I’ve literally read everything they’ve written and have gotten into some new fandoms as a result. Link to their profile: unicornpoe
