Summary
-
Does it count as a midlife crisis when you buy a house and renovate it in secret, not telling your brother a single thing about it?
Well, Dean most certainly doesn't handle Cas' death very well and so somehow he ends up grieving in his own special way: by building a home and praying that one day he will share it with someone very particular.
Deep down Dean knows it's a futile hope and probably not really healthy to cling onto it so desperately, but at the end of the day dreams occasionally come true, even for a Winchester.
Right?

Summary
That title is a lie, there’s nothing romantic or fantastical about prince Castiel's life whatsoever. Married off to king Dean for political reasons, his role is to manage the castle and help raise prince Ben, the son of Dean’s first wife. Lisa was the one Dean truly loved, her loss years ago bereaved the entire kingdom. Castiel is a pale replacement nobody cares for much unless they have a problem or something to complain about. Castiel, for his part... well, it was stupid to fall in love with his husband, but he’s always been a dunce and an embarrassment according to Michael. Why change now.
Then Dean’s sister by marriage, Queen Eileen, decides to show Castiel what his true place in the castle is…
… and maybe he is in a romance and a fairy tale after all. Just a little bit.

Dean finds himself in Heaven, which is both unexpected and fortuitous because as it turns out, Dean has some things to say and it's high time that he's said them.

What good is a soldier without a war to fight?

Summary
“Sky Elf.” Ellen says, scratching Kohi’s beak. “A couple were walking their baby Wyrm at the edge of Girons forest today when they saw him lying crumpled on the floor. His wings were injured badly, so they called us. Jo’s team has been healing him, but he can’t understand a word we say. He’s beginning to get a bit agitated.”
“A Sky Elf?” Dean raises his eyebrows. “What on earth is he even doing here?”
“Well you can help us find that out yourself boy.” Ellen snorts, before leading Dean toward the infirmary.

Cas smells…different. Dean recognizes that this is a weird thing to notice. It's not like he goes around sniffing people. He's not Hannibal Lector. He's not a perv. He's not that creep from Perfume. It's just…Cas smells different, and Dean does notice and it's driving him a little crazy.

Castiel Novak has his routine; there’s nothing wrong with that. He used to be a soldier, now he’s a body guard, and he mostly keeps to himself.
That changes when one day in Mid-November, his new neighbour stands on his doorstep, his green eyes sparkling and already wearing an ugly Christmas sweater.

Summary
From the outside "Bee's Knees Bakery" and "Demon Ink" don't seem like the kind of shops to share a sidewalk. But really the cutesy sign hanging above the Cupcakery was drawn one late evening by a tattoo artist with skulls on his arm, but flowers covering his chest.
And if you take a step inside the black painted tattoo shop you'll find a man with more love in his heart for his husband than he has tattoos on his body. And he's willing to do anything for his dorky huffy little baker next door. Including going on a lame frilly reality competition show.In which Castiel takes his husband as his assistant on "Cupcake Wars"

Summary
Before he even opens his eyes he can feel the throbbing sensation in his head, damn near matching up with the throbbing in his ankle with every spike. When he cracks open his eyes he realizes he’s laying face down on the map table and when he turns his head he’s met with a needle, a tissue crunchy with dried blood, and a broken pen. The ink from the pen is spilling out of it on to the tray beneath it, smudged in a few places, but surprisingly still wet.
“What the hell.” He rasps and his ankle gives a responding twitch of pain. It’s a tender, itchy feeling.
It almost reminds him of when he got his anti possession tattoo.

That night, his dreams are fuzzy, half-formed sensations of rocking a baby back and forth, humming quietly, with a warm and familiar presence hovering over his shoulder.
It feels like a happy dream, but he jerks awake in the early morning sun as if it were a nightmare.~~
