Summary
“You like the dirty mechanic look, Cas?” Dean says, winking.
Cas steps back to let him in. “Not particularly.”
Dean’s grin falls. He swipes an arm over his sweaty forehead. “Well, get used to it, bud, ‘cause I’m your neighborhood dirty mechanic on the days I’m not the neighborhood drunken arsonist.”

Summary
Dean’s hands have made many beautiful things. The wings of an angel, swan’s necks that contort into complex shapes, spikes of metal that pierce the heart. But as far as Cas is concerned, the most powerful thing he’s ever created is an unassuming pot-bellied mug.
Contemplations of an artist.
(Can be read as a stand-alone if you like.)

Summary
Dean didn't think that his life as a detective could get much worse after Castiel was promoted to lieutenant.
Castiel was a stickler for the rules, had no sense of humour, and never seemed to give Dean a break, even though they used to be partners.
But then, despite all of their questionable history, the two are asked to go undercover on a case in the wealthy suburbs of California. . . as a married couple.- Language:

Summary
Dean Winchester may have a reputation for being a skilled craftsman and blacksmith, but his life is just like anyone else’s. He’s over-worked and under-slept, and it’s all because of the niggling feeling in the back of his mind that tells him he’s… forgetting something. Still, he can’t let his weird dreams or errant thoughts get in the way of his work and his love for his craft. The strange feeling goes ignored.
That is, until he meets a man with jewel-blue eyes and an aura of intrigue. Castiel slots into his life in a way that Dean had never thought possible, and Dean grows accustomed to the mysterious man’s visits and brilliant smiles and tales of far-away places.
He’d never known he was missing a piece of himself until he met Castiel, and he thinks that Cas might feel the same way.
Until Castiel disappears from Dean’s life completely.
