Summary
England, 1196
Lord Charles de Devin is dying and has summoned his family home for one last Yuletide to settle his affairs and his children’s futures. Years after the King’s Crusade has reshaped the world, Castiel, a young noble burdened by his family’s disdain, struggles to find his place, torn between duty and a desire he dares not name.
When a troupe of Yuletide revelers visits the manor, social constraints crumble, and even a bastard son can be anyone’s equal. Among the masked dances and daring games, Dean, a traveling performer whose easy charm conceals unspoken sorrows shows Castiel that he is more than the world has allowed him to believe—and that some risks are worth taking.
As the twelve days of Christmas unravel secrets and ignite forbidden passions, Castiel must choose between the life he’s been resigned to and the one he secretly longs for.

Summary
Dean Winchester has everything he was supposed to want: a peaceful home in a small town close to his little brother, and his own veterinary practice, just like his mom hoped. But life in Angel’s Rest isn’t quite what Dean imagined. He’s lonely, and he has no way to relieve the pressures of day-to-day life.
A chance meeting with a rude sheep named Meg leads Dean to Castiel, the owner of Blazing Needles, the town’s independent yarn and craft store. The connection between them is instant, and it seems like Castiel could be everything that Dean needs. He’s just got to work out how to make that leap...
A safe, sane, and consensual tale of comedic animal encounters, little white lies, and waiting for the right (wrong) moment.

Summary
Castiel still can’t escape the fear he felt, knowing he was on the brink of losing Dean. He can’t escape the feeling that overcomes him, knowing that if he hadn’t broken Jack’s rules, if he hadn’t escaped from Heaven, Dean would be gone.
Maybe, Dean would have found some kind of peace in Jack’s Heaven. But Castiel could never let himself accept that, at least not right now, at least not for decades. Right now, Dean belongs here, on Earth. No amount of lies about fate could ever convince Castiel otherwise. And Castiel knows he belongs here with Dean, even if he feels like a fugitive from Heaven again. A fallen angel who’s falling harder than ever before.
[Castiel - saved from the Empty from new God Jack Kline - is under orders not to interfere with humanity. Castiel disobeys, and heals Dean in a slow recovery that leaves Dean craving more than just Castiel's grace, and Castiel can feel his powers failing, and memories that have been erased slowly creeping back in. Part 2 of a series about saving TFW 2.0 from the fates given to them by the finale].

Summary
“I want you.” Dean’s voice is quiet, breaking with anticipation and anxiety all at once. “If you want me.”
Castiel nods, takes a step back, and pushes his own shirt, unbuttoned and wrinkled, off his shoulders. “This is disobedience—this is me disobeying another God. This is me betraying Heaven and falling all over for you again, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know. But this is me telling you that the thing you wanted, you had all along. You had me all along.” For a moment, Dean feels like he can’t breathe, the creeping reality that maybe Castiel will leave him again sinking through him. Maybe this time it won’t be the Empty crawling over Castiel and dragging him away, maybe this time Castiel will be taken forever by a furious God.
[In a dark barn in Ohio, a dying Dean Winchester prays to Castiel to save him. But Castiel - saved from the Empty from new God Jack Kline - is under orders not to interfere with humanity. Castiel disobeys, heals Dean in a slow recovery that leaves Dean craving more than just Castiel's grace. Part 1 of a series about saving TFW 2.0 from the fates given to them by the finale].

Summary
At thirty-five years old, Shy, bookish Castiel Novak always plays by the rules. And the rule is that shy, awkward men like him don’t get guys like confident, intelligent Mick, heir to Castiel’s heart since their College years. But Mick’s been in London for three years, and Cas has been reinventing himself so that when he returns, he’ll fall head over heels in love with the new him. So he’s not that interested in other men. Until his best friend Meg points out that if Cas wants Mick to think he’s an experienced love-god and not the awkward, skinny guy he left behind, then he’d better get some experience. What Cas needs is someone to show him the ropes, someone like Meg’s boss Dean Winchester. Cocky, and at the age of thirty-eight an eternal bachelor. And since he’s a self-proclaimed Equal opportunity lover and so not Castiel’s type, he certainly won’t fall for him. Because Dean just isn’t for him….right?

Summary
Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester have virtually nothing in common: they’re both from different countries (Cas would argue that Canada and the US aren’t that different but Dean begs to differ), they come from wildly different types of families, and where Castiel excelled at school Dean failed. When it comes to their social skills they’re also diametrically opposed: Dean is outgoing, funny and easy-going; Castiel is more of an introvert who likes books and still has to see any Star Wars movie.
In real life though, Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester are both professional soccer players with the same position in concurrent teams.
It would be complicated enough as it is, but Dean and Cas have also been a couple for several years, hiding their relationship from the public and homophobia in the world of soccer while living in Europe away from their families.
Can they make it through another season without cracking?

Summary
It could be argued there are worse ways of meeting the love of your life than measuring their inseam for the fitting of a prosthetic merman tail, but if you asked Castiel about it, he’d probably disagree.
Secretly being a merman in Hollywood was difficult enough, but working on the cheesiest tv show to ever exploit the worst tropes about merfolk - thank you, Gabriel - with annoyingly attractive soap opera star Dean Winchester was not how Castiel had invisioned his life going.

Summary
Mary Winchester died in a presumed-accidental house fire in Queens, New York in 1983. Nearly 40 years later, her sons, Dean (now an EMT) and Sam (a New York City corporate attorney) discover that their father, now-retired cop John Winchester, intentionally set the fire that killed their mother, and Dean finally gets his revenge.
Queens County District Attorney Castiel Novak knows that Dean Winchester is a suspect in John Winchester's murder - but he also knows that his own father was once a likely-corrupt judge who helped John escape punishment. Against what might be his better judgment, he lets himself get too close to Dean. And even as the cops build their case against Dean, he knows that, maybe, the right thing to do is help Dean Winchester get off (yeah okay pun intended).

Summary
“I’m completely indifferent to gender and sexual orientation,” Castiel told him, the first time Dean admitted out loud that he was struggling with both. What an image—Cas was sprawled across his side of the booth in his bunched-up camo pants, one booted foot resting casually on the dark maroon vinyl. His hair was pink back then, and the front of his white t-shirt had
'VOTE 4 ME' scrawled across it in red Sharpie. “And I think the world would be a better, kinder, sexier place if everyone adopted that motto.”“Very Comrade Castiel of you,” Dean retorted, and Cas’ pink hair just bobbed as he nodded in agreement.
“Yes,” he said, swirling the reusable straw he always brought with him around in his drink while staring off at something behind and above Dean’s head. “Let the ruling classes tremble.”

Summary
These are the things you hide, when you’re John Winchester’s oldest son:
A feather Sammy found and gave you.
A piece of satin you cut from a nightgown you swiped from the thrift store. You like to keep it in your pocket and rub it between your fingers.
A romance novel left behind in a motel. You tape the cover of a Stephen King novel on the front.
A picture of Robert Plant hidden under the fabric on the bottom of your toiletry bag.
A cassette of Queen, a cassette of The Beatles.
You like to draw. Knights and dragons and cowboys. A mockingbird. A lily. A boy in your class.
You rip that one up and burn it.We follow Dean through important times in his life as he slowly learns to accept who he is and figures out what a happy ending means for him.

Summary
Dean, a professional photographer, is taking photos at the Fourth of July parade when he spots an old man with striking blue eyes across the street. Dean follows him, but before they can speak, the man falls down and dies with his hand in Dean's.
Dean feels responsible, and seeks to learn more about the old man, retired doctor Castiel Novak.
Dean discovers that Castiel once owned Dean's house, and comes to find an old camera amongst his things. When he takes his own portrait, it sends him hurtling back fifty years to 1962 where he meets a young, handsome, Cas.
They can't help falling for each other. But Dean can't stay in 1962. His connection with his brother, Sam, pulls him back to 2012. Determined to see Cas, he uses the camera to return, but each time he travels to the past, it takes a greater toll on his body.
Eventually, in order to stay with the man he loves, he has to make a heartbreaking choice.

Summary
After all the angels fell (Supernatural Season 8 finale) and an inconclusive NASA investigation into the global meteor shower, a secret US task force came to the conclusion that angels walk among us. The task force determined they are powerful and therefore dangerous, a threat to the United States. Thus was born the American Council on Angel Affairs. Kept secret for four years, unknown even to the president, the ACAA devoted all their resources to finding out precisely how to control angels. They succeed, though not without casualties.
In the aftermath of the 2017 U.S. Presidential inauguration, after running on an anti-immigrant, anti-angel platform and winning the presidency, the new president has now made it law that all angels in human vessels must display their wings at all times or risk public execution. The public is rewarded handsomely for turning in suspected angels, and they do so love a bloody execution.
Although he'd successfully hidden again for years, Gabriel is captured, imprisoned, and sentenced to death. His only hope is Castiel, who would need to risk his own capture, along with two hunters, one of whom would like nothing more than to see Gabriel dead.

Summary
Castiel Milton is a brilliant electro-chemist at the peak of his career. He’s developed the ultimate energy source, the science behind it promising to revolutionize the world energy market and combat climate change in a way few could have ever dreamed. He’s proud of his work, but he’s grown restless and is more lonely than he realized. He’s ready for a change.
Dean is a thief and mercenary by trade, on a mission of absolution with his rag-tag family. But when the nastiest skeleton in Dean’s closet rears its ugly head, Dean is put between a rock and a hard place: steal Castiel’s research or Sam dies.
It’s all downhill from there. Dean is not the only thief after Castiel’s work, and no one is pulling any punches. Castiel ends up along for the ride, stepping up time and time again, as determined to save Sam as he is to protect his life’s work.
Dean doesn’t know what to do with Castiel and his too-blue eyes that see more than they should, or the growing affection he has for him that, like everything else about this wild night, is completely out of control.- Language:
