Summary
Dean Winchester has been leasing out his extra cabin up by Moose Head Lake in Maine for many years now. He has grown accustom to the rhythm and predictability of life in the quiet forests of Northern Maine. Something always felt missing though, and heart ache from lost love had pushed Dean to lock himself away. When he suddenly meets the blue eyed writer who is the first tenant of the season, things in Dean's life get turned upside down, and maybe he is willing to take a chance again, even if it might mean getting hurt.

Summary
In a world where being dominant or submissive is part of your biology, Dean Winchester is a sub in trouble. Resistant to his submissive nature and the role society expects him to play, Dean fights against his body’s instincts until he’s sent to Purgatory—a high-class facility meant to train subs and help them find their perfect match. Skeptical and wary, Dean warms up to the program for one reason, and one reason only: his trainer, Castiel Novak. Castiel is the poster-boy of dominance, a workaholic outside the playroom, and probably the hottest Dom Dean has ever seen.
As their bond becomes more passionate and profound, the boundaries between them blur and feelings begin to surface. But not everyone approves of their powerful connection…in fact, someone might just do anything to stop it in its tracks.

Summary
Surviving the war had been one of the hardest things Dean had ever done. Coming home from the war is proving to be even harder. Lost and adrift, he feels like he's drowning. When he happens upon a horse farm looking for help it might just be the lifeline he's been looking for.
When Cas meets the new farm hand he sees the same injured look in those eyes he's seen time and again in the horses he's rescued. Can he break through to Dean the way he has with his horses? Teach him to trust, to surrender, to connect. Can he break down Dean's defenses without destroying his own? Maybe with a little hope and a little rope they can find a way through together.

Summary
The first time she meets him, he's nothing more than an almost-missed appointment.
~~~
Dean is silent for a long, tense moment, then he gruffly says, "It's not for banishing the angels. It's to summon them. So, it doesn't—it's not to get rid of 'em, but to draw 'em in."
Mitzi can't help but glance up at him at that. His voice is so heavy with so much unexplained pain, and she doesn't understand why, or what angels have to do with it. She knows religion can impact people. She's very aware that it can get complicated, and that it can be a huge source of pain for someone, but Dean sounds grievously wronged, somehow, as if it's a truly personal thing.
She pushes through, focusing back on her job, clearing her throat before murmuring, "Well, I guess we all want angels to visit us sometimes."
"Just the one," Dean mumbles.
"Your guardian angel?" Mitzi asks.
Dean breathes out, "Something like that. As close to one as an angel will ever get."

Summary
Original prompt: Castiel is very straight laced, level headed and from a deeply religious family. He doesn’t believe in sex before marriage and has never had any problems resisting because even though he has liked girls in the past it’s never gone past friendship, never been attraction. Dean is all kinds of messed up. John sexually abuses him after Mary’s death and after John’s death Dean turns to drugs and crime and his self-hate gets so bad he cuts his wrists. But Sam and Jess find him and send him to rehab where of course Cas works. And when Dean needs a place to stay well what else would a guy like Cas do but offer his own spare room?
Or,
The one where Castiel may end up needing to pray for salvation for the both of them.

Summary
Written for the SPNTC 2019 challenge (Thanksgiving-mini)
Ending in a precinct a day before Thanksgiving only happens to the unlucky Dean Winchester who has to stomach potent scents of Alpha officers and criminals alike after finding himself alone when his brother got arrested after protecting him from feral attackers.
Alone and still very much unmated in the middle of Alphas, Dean almost faces another sequence of attacks when someone takes the bench beside him with the most soothing scent like an oasis in a dry land. A very attractive Alpha sits there filling the omega with scent only a particular truemate can give. Dean finds hope in his perpetual misery. Except the Alpha doesn't even look at him. How the heck is Dean to get him?
But already, Thanksgiving in prison beside this handsome Alpha is not bad at all.

Summary
So what if Castiel likes that the strange, leather-jacket wearing guy in the library keeps staring at him? And so what if he's a teensy bit attractive? It's not like Castiel's going to ever tell him that. But then the boy, the infamous Dean Winchester, Casanova of the college, is standing there in front of him, asking him out.
And Castiel says no.
But then Dean is leaving. With a promise.
A promise Castiel isn't sure how he's going to complete. How is Dean going to make Castiel love him? And why is Dean so obsessed with Castiel? Surely he's just playing around, right? He has plenty of pretty women begging for him, and yet, here Dean is, standing with a guitar in his hand, serenading Castiel with love songs.
God, Dean Winchester is a pain in Castiel's ass.
Surprisingly enough, Castiel finds himself liking it.

Summary
Jim Morrison once said, “The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are.” That was Castiel Novak’s motto in life, and the reason why he accepted his grandmother's inheritance and took the responsibility it implied.
Dean Winchester, a remarkable accountant at Sandover Bridge & Iron Inc., however, had other priorities. He lived to serve, hidden in a mask that didn’t allow him to be honest with himself, but lonesome and boring.
When destiny made their paths cross, in a less than promising way, with Dean as the instigator and Castiel as his victim, Dean’s mind started wandering, in between pies and cakes, coffees and muffins... What if Mr. Morrison was right?
After all, as the guy used to say, "there can’t be any large-scale revolution, until there’s a personal revolution first."

Summary
Dean Winchester should have nothing to prove. He's the brightest star at COVEN Modelling, and that's after flaming out on his previous catwalk career. He's the comeback kid. Or so he’d like to think, until the spectre of what derailed his first career and poisoned the closest friendship of his life comes back to haunt him...
Castiel Novak has nothing to lose. He finally cut ties with his family's fashion empire and burned it down on the way out. COVEN is his last chance. That, and Dean works there. The man has been a rival longer than he was a friend, but if Cas really wants a fresh start, he'll have to clear the air…

Summary
Castiel’s life is pretty well on-track for someone who’s just turned thirty, if he does say so himself — he’s got a great job at the university, he’s just finished his master’s degree, and he has it on good authority that he’s going to be accepted for his PhD next year. Things go slightly awry when he wakes up one morning with a neck so sore and so stiff that he can’t move his head. He’s not sure how he obtained a musculoskeletal injury while writing his thesis, but he is sure that the physiotherapist who will be treating the injury is quite literally the most attractive man he’s ever seen in his life. It only gets worse when Dean turns up as a tutor at the university, which, incidentally, he does at the same time that Castiel receives an unsolicited nude from an unknown number.

Summary
“‘Legend tells of a beast within the woods. A creature that lives where the trees grow taller than the highest castle, and the darkness swallows all light. None dare tread where it walks, for if it catches sight of you, you’re already lost. The beast devours the hearts of young men, its hunger never abating. So beware, young souls, of the forest and its protector, and do not venture forth into the woods.’”
Or
Dean has protected the forest for his entire life, but when he is cursed with memory loss, he wanders into the beast's territory. But the creature has no interest in 'eating' his heart, rather it would much prefer to capture it instead.

Summary
Dean almost couldn’t believe it when he saw that huddled body swaddled in a tan trenchcoat sitting in the middle of the dungeon floor. Cas was back. After months of searching, digging through the archives to find a way to drag his ass out of the Empty, they had finally done it.
But something was wrong.
This wasn’t the Castiel that smiled up at him with a tearful goodbye after revealing his true happiest moment. This was a wild, snarling beast of a man, warped and twisted, feral thanks to the damage of the Empty. A man who would probably rip out Dean’s throat rather than confess his love.
Even when Dean breaks through that wild exterior, he discovers that Castiel still thinks he’s trapped in the hell that is the Empty. That nothing around him is real.
Dean just has to get through to him.

Summary
Between his fraught relationship with his sister and his tenuous place at his band's music label, Cas needs a distraction. He finds it in Dean, who's having his own issues with his brother's recovery from substance abuse and pressure from his dad (and band manager). After a stress-relieving one-night stand, Cas and Dean part on less than friendly terms, happy to never see each other again.
Months later, they find themselves back in close quarters as their rock bands tour together. With their negative first impressions behind them, Dean and Cas bond quickly, and with the allure of a convenient hook up, they fall into a secret friends-with-benefits relationship.
It's the perfect solution, until it's not. After all, Dean has a womanizing reputation to maintain, and Cas has been burned by closeted guys before.

Summary
Castiel Shurley doesn’t understand why an engineering major keeps showing up in his upper-level creative writing classes. He knows part of having a liberal arts education is taking things outside of your major, but who takes 400-level English courses for fun? And even more galling, his classmates keep gushing about his short stories. You would think Dean Winchester is the next Isaac Asimov.
Then Castiel finally gets assigned to peer edit one of Dean’s short stories… and he recognizes it. To be fair, it’s a great story. Too bad Dean didn’t write it. He stole it, lifted straight from a fanfic, with the serial numbers barely filed off.

Summary
When a reporter asks Dean, a homeless man with a mysterious past, why he exclusively keeps close to the billboards and posters of a specific male model—the one Dean likes to refer to as the angel with spectacular blue eyes—in a moment of weakness, thinking it won’t change anything about his situation, Dean tells him the truth: it’s how he finds comfort and solace. Something that is difficult to come by.
That is until the story reaches the ears of Castiel Novak, the model in question.- Language:

Summary
Being a hunter was all Dean knew ever since his mother had been killed by a demon when he was four. Hunting, offing monsters, and then jumping to the next case was his life. Then he met the most alluring and breathtaking omega he had ever seen and spent the next five years loving the hell out of Cas, their life together filled with the domestic lovey-dovey stuff Dean had never thought he would dig so much.
When a simple salt-and-burn goes sideways, it ends up with Cas’ memories stolen from him.
Dean is left to pick up the pieces of the life they built together, his ‘make it up as he goes’ strategy to prove to his mate that Dean’s still worth a damn, his only chance at getting Cas back. He’s done a shitty-ass job at keeping Cas safe before, but he will pull out all the stops now to woo his mate again and stir the memories Dean knows are still there buried deep inside Cas’ mind.

Summary
Newly single Dean Winchester is looking for a way to help pay the bills after his ex, Lisa, leaves him high and dry - taking half of the furniture along with half of the rent money when he finds out she's been cheating on him with another man. Castiel Novak is making a big move from Illinois to Kansas for a new job working nights as a L&D nurse at Kansas Memorial Hospital alongside his MD brother, Gabriel, and is having trouble finding a place to stay that's affordable on his nurse's salary. What happens when Gabriel and Dean's bff Charlie conspire to get the two men to share rent - and the bed - without ever meeting or knowing who the other one really is?
- or -
The one where Dean thinks his new roommate Cas(sie) is a chick and Cas is just as confused by who he's sharing a bed with.

Summary
As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.
For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.
At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.
Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.
