Since they'd started fucking, which was about three days after they'd met, the harpoon jokes had been pretty much constant-- but the skills really did transfer. Hashtag coffin porn, hashtag sea blowie.

Summary
Dean finds an interesting symbol in Kevin's angel tablet notes and, against Sam's counselling, uses it in the heat of battle with a pair of angelic assassins. Side effects include pain, disorientation, and uncontrollable new appendages for the Winchesters. A disgruntled Castiel and a delighted Gabriel show up to help. Hunting (and life) gets interesting when wings are involved. Includes artwork!
(Both relationships are featured in detail, but the plot happens to be *slightly* more Sabriel-driven.)

Read everything that this person has written. Start with this.
Note: the author tags mention major character injury. Be warned: it is VERY major, though it ends up OK for all concerned.

Posthuman Cas is possibly my favorite of the AU versions of the character (or at least in my top three iterations). The relationship dynamic here between Dean and Castiel is fantastic, and the characters very well rendered.

Summary
After his rebellion fails, Castiel spends his life as a criminal in the arena on planet Sicilia desperately trying to survive another day. He’s resigned to his impending death—no matter how well he fights, and what the law states, no-one would let a traitor leave the coliseum a free man. Until one day, the captain of the pirate spaceship Impala arranges to buy him as a slave, to increase his crew’s manpower.
Little does Dean Winchester know that by saving Castiel, he creates a symbol of resistance that will end up threatening the entire empire.

Bookmarker's Notes
Intriguing world-building. I'm looking forward to watching the power imbalance between Cas and Dean unravel itself. This is the kind of thing I think of when I want to search the 'slavery' tag on here--meditations on power dynamics and what makes someone human, and how inequalities can be dismantled. Unfortunately, said tag usually yields, uh...not those things. This has delivered so far.
Also, Cas is a BAMF.
