Summary
Dean’s house-sitting for his brother. He’s enjoying having the place to himself, with its huge master bedroom, Olympic-sized swimming pool, and amazing sound system. By coincidence, Dean’s ex-best friend, Cas, ends up on the doorstep, and together they drink, get high, and fight about why their friendship broke down fourteen months ago.
But at least they’re talking.
Everything starts to go wrong, however, when what Dean and Cas assume is just a run-of-the-mill creeper phones after midnight, threatening to show up and murder the shit out of them. Dean doesn’t take it seriously, at least not until the phone and power lines are cut, the cell signals jammed, and oh… who the fuck is that out there by the pool with a freakin’ chainsaw?

Summary
Crime is on the rise and as a prosecutor in San Francisco Sam is feeling the pressure from higher ups that are breathing down his neck to get more convictions. Captain Bobby Singer would love to catch more criminals especially with the brass threatening to have his badge but his current detectives are stretched thin and the new guys just aren't cutting it. The best detective with the highest case solving rate in San Francisco has been on leave since his former partner and best friend was brutally murdered by a car bomb years ago. The city needs Castiel Novak (and all his eccentricities) back in the field solving homicides nobody else can solve but until he hires an assistant there is no way he can leave his house let alone go to a crime scene.
Dean has recently been laid off and is looking for a new job. Sam and Bobby think the Dean would be perfect for the role of Novak's assistant.
Now, all they need to do is solve a few murders or it's everyone's job on the line.

Summary
Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.
No matter the cost.
Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.
Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.
Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

Summary
“It’s very simple: I can’t forgive someone humiliating me, only my family can get away with that kind of defiance. A rat defying me would get crushed, I could only drag them in the mud and leave them bleeding on the ground to remind everyone who I am, but I could forgive my future husband some bad words.”
AU. In New York City, the Winchester family is well-known for being important businessmen, and Dean inherited it all, becoming respected and feared. When Castiel Novak, an insignificant school teacher stood up to him and offend him publicly, Dean promises he would make him pay while also finding himself attracted to him.
Confrontation ensues between the two, and when Dean's company is accused of homophobia because of false rumors, Dean decide a marriage with another man could be the best solution. He decide to give Castiel a choice: either help him and marry him or be broken. With a daughter to take care of, Castiel finds himself with no other choice but to accept.Bookmarked by CONFUZZLED_17

Summary
But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels.
Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right?
That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.

Summary
“I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
“Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
“Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”
________Or: when Dean and Cas investigate a group of high school students getting mysteriously ill, Cas gets hit with a truth spell.

Summary
In the state of Washington, under a near-constant cover of clouds and rain, there's a small town named Forks. Apparently, it’s Dean’s home for the next six months. Great. Just when they’re close to finding Mary’s killer, John benches Dean to bumfuck nowhere, giving him one rule: look after Sammy.
When Dean enrolls Sam in the local high school, he has a strange encounter with one of Sam’s teachers, Mr. Castiel Novak. The man’s erratic behavior makes Dean wonder if maybe this is a hunt and there are, in fact, supernatural monsters in Forks. But as Dean gets closer to Cas, he finds himself unnaturally drawn to him. When Cas saves his life from a runaway van, leaving behind a large imprint that looks oddly like wings, Dean’s defenses start to crumble, and before he knows it, he’s falling hard and fast for the creature he should be hunting.

Summary
Marshall Robert Singer has one hand resting on his hip, the other gripping the discarded practice pole. Castiel thinks he looks tired. That said, with how the kaiju have been crawling with increasing frequency out of the Breach with every passing week and decimating the cities lining the Pacific, no one can blame the man for that.
Castiel knows there aren't enough Jaegers or Jaeger pilots left to defend the coastline against the monsters—but with his history, he's not getting back into harness. He's never joining his mind with anyone else's. Not again.
“Congratulations. You boys done dancing yet?” Singer demands, thumping the butt of the staff on the ground with blunt, percussive force. “We got work to do.”
“Work?” Castiel asks, frowning.
“Congratulations?” Dean finishes.
“Well, yeah.” The Marshall of North America's last battle-center looks back and forth between them, clearly questioning their intelligence. His lip curls just slightly under his beard—no doubt at their blank expressions. “You’re obviously Drift-compatible, ya idjits.”
“What?”
“What?”

Summary
After uncovering a salacious scandal with a stableboy, Dean Winchester’s father declares he must marry or be sent to an asylum. Dean has always been a good son and heir, but the thought of a loveless marriage is too much; he runs away to hide as a servant in Novak Abbey, a mysterious noble house on the outskirts of the remote town of Udolpho. Hidden behind the crumbling walls, Dean tends to a reclusive family that—according to the spooked locals—are burdened by a dark, unknown curse.
The handsome, intense Lord Castiel Shurley, nephew to the cruel Earl, evokes in Dean a magnetic attraction he struggles to deny. But, between Dean’s hidden identity and a curse that may be far more than local legend, the path to happiness seems dim and twisted. Deep in the woods, Dean must untangle truths from tall tales. He will have to risk far more than his reputation to find the love he deserves—and to survive the inhabitants of Novak Abbey.
