+ Post a list of your five favorite acts/kinks to read about. Check out this list if you need some inspiration. At the bottom of your post, add what fandoms/pairings you're interested in.
+ Read other people's lists; the master list of lists is here.
+ Post comment-fic based off of other people's interests.

1. Outsider POV. Not necessarily voyeurism, although it could have that element. Mostly I just like it when some third character ponders/notices stuff about the main pairing, maybe that they're together or maybe that they should be, maybe why they make sense or that they don't.
2. Non-canonical universes. What if xyz had happened this way instead of that way, what if they were librarians, what if time travel, what if the TARDIS or some wizards suddenly showed up. I guess it's kind of a cheat to lump AUs and crossovers in like that together, but I love anything that takes them out of normal canon in whatever way and I'm really not that picky about it.
3. Frottage. Clothes on, clothes off, clothes anywhere in between, dirty-desperate or slow-romantic, doesn't matter as long as it's face to face and grind-y.
4. Competency. Maybe they're a BAMF in a fight, maybe they're great at piano or making pizza. I love it when a character gets to have their mad skills appreciated, especially if said skills are a turn-on for someone else.
5. Friends-to-lovers. That point in a comfortable awesome practically-married friendship where the MFEO finally gets acknowledged.

Fandoms/pairings
Supernatural: Dean/Castiel, Sam/Dean, Castiel/Balthazar (RPF preferably in AUs only or French Mistake-type universes - Jensen/Misha, Jared/Jensen), whatever threesomes. ETA: OH, AND DEAN/JIMMY NOVAK. YEP.
The Walking Dead: Daryl/Glenn
CSI: Nick/Greg
Downton Abbey: Thomas/Branson
Crossovers: Anyone from the above fandoms mix'n'matched with anyone from another. This also applies to Ianto Jones, Simon Tam, and Xander Harris.

Sam enjoyed watching Cas cook. Having fallen completely after they de-souled the nuked-up Castiel, Cas was still finding his feet in the human world. He was still a good fighter, an ok shot with most of the winchesters guns, but not very good on the sleeping front ( it was the nightmares caused by having billions of monster souls swirling around ones head). The one thing that they found that Cas excelled at was cooking. Baking to be exact. Cas found that he could make just about anything, especially the sweet desert treats that Dean loved.

Of course Dean took advantage of Cas's talent. Every time they are able to spend time at Bobby's, or stay long enough in a town after a hunt to warrant a better then their usual motel rooms, Dean would have Cas in the kitchen baking. Cas never complained and would always let Dean help, well until Dean started eating more then actually went into the baked goods.

Sam can see the signs. Even a blind man could see how Cas and Dean gravitated around each other. It's a pity that blind man never gave either Cas or Dean the memo. They moved in sync with each other, Dean anticipating Cas's need for the sugar, or Cas will hand Dean the spoon from the mixing bowl instead of putting it in the sink. It's beautiful to watch, and Sam is man enough to admit that he loves that his brother is happy, even if said brother wouldn't admit it out loud, especially to the source of his happiness.

As Dean walks around the kitchen table in bobby's kitchen to put the mixing bowl in the sink, Sam knows he is trespassing on a very intimate moment between Dean and Cas. It's in that moment that, as Cas turns to say something to Dean, Dean just happened to be right there. Face to face, lips mere inches away from each other. Sam thought he would see Dean jumping back, cracking some joke "remember we talked about this Cas, personal space", causing Cas to blush, but to look a little sad as he turned away.

Sam expected it. But sometimes life throws you a curve ball, and makes even the most stubborn men change the way they do things. Sam watches Dean's wall come down, sees him open himself (finally) to what everyone else can see. As Dean lends into Cas, watching as Cas's eyes flitter between his lips and eyes, Sam hopped off the couch to walk out to the porch. He doesn't need to see the kiss that's happening as his back is turned. He knows what is happening there is a long time coming. He is just happy that they finally got their act together.

Hee, baking Cas! <3 The thing where they're all synchronized and handing each other stuff is just the kind of thing I love about outsider POV. :D Thank you for this!

oh course Cas would be good at baking. All precision. :3

AND he is good with his hands. Those lovely nice long fingers of his

Wow, you painted such a vivid picture here. I love this!
