Castiel/Meg Masters is the semi-canon pairing of the angel Castiel and the demon known as Meg Masters in the Supernatural fandom.

Canon

Meg and Castiel are antagonists, on opposite sides of the build up to the Apocalypse, but later they become reluctant allies. They kiss in season 6. In Season 7 Meg looks after Castiel who has been committed to an asylum. In season 8 Meg admits to Sam, in around about way, that she has feelings for Castiel, but later in the same episode dies at the hands of Crowley.

Fandom

Terminology

The pairing was originally referred to as Holy Hell. It was the first Angel/Demon pairing in the fandom. More recently, Holy Hell refers to the pairing of any angel with any demon, and the Cas/Meg pairing is more commonly referred to as Megstiel.

Common Tropes in Fanworks

  • Fix its: are extremely common, given Meg's canonical death in Season 8. There are works where Castiel saves Meg, but also works where Meg is saved by another power. In some cases, Meg is returned to Earth without her memories. Sometimes she is no longer a demon, while in other works she is in a new body. Castiel often helps her deal with the trauma of her death.
  • All Human AUs: place Meg and Castiel in a universe where there are no angels or demons, and these two aren't enemies.
  • Human Castiel: works are often AUs set in season 9 when Castiel is human. Meg often tracks down her angel and helps him adapt to human life.
  • Threesome: almost always involving Dean (Meanstiel)
