Summary
In a quiet place in Dean Winchester’s heart, a flame roared. Its flickering light was born of kindness, of some nameless, ageless love, of affections he found he couldn’t speak but felt dearly all the same. Of his love for Cas.
But even though Cas was all Dean had ever wanted, even though Cas was the one who his gaze caught on and his hands brushed over and his chest throbbed for, he knew that nothing would come of it. Nothing could.But Cas was an angel.
Angels didn’t feel love.
But then, over afternoon research on a rainy Thursday that was otherwise completely ordinary, Cas said, “We should get married.”
Or: Fake Marriage, with plenty of pining and homoeroticism thrown in. Marked as Mature for brief descriptions of sex but they can be skipped :)

Summary
“So, what now?” The angel’s voice was deep and steady as always. Dean didn’t hesitate like he thought he would. He didn’t think of an excuse to change the subject or avoid Castiel. He didn’t think of a reason that he could isolate himself and set himself down a path of self-destruction.
“I made a promise to Sam. If you’re up for it, and I understand if you aren’t, I know there’s a lot better things for you out there than a broken human, but if you are then--Cas, do you want to hunt with me?” The angel smiled.
“Yes, Dean. I’ll hunt with you. If you want me, if you’ll let me, I’ll follow you into the end of the world a million times over.”
Dean smiled sadly back at him. “I’ve said it before, Cas, but don’t ever change.”
OR
Instead of finding Lisa after Sam dies in Swan Song, Dean and Cas hunt together.

Summary
Dean Winchester walks into the first day of school at Lawrence High, not knowing what to expect. He finds an awkward, painfully blunt, blue-eyed boy who is named after an angel.
The boys become fast friends. Through the heat of Kansas summers and the quiet cool of the early morning, that friendship becomes something more.
Neither boy has an easy life, however. With homophobic families, abusive, alcoholic fathers, and their own insecurities to combat, the boys have their hands full. They find comfort in each other and the steadfast beauty of the morning sunrise. In the quiet hours, both boys dream of a life far away from their demons, where they can be together in peace. If only they knew how. . .

Summary
It’s easy, after that, to call Cas when he is like this.
When the numbing is back and when the pain won’t leave him.
It’s easier than breathing, calling Cas and waiting for him like he is the remedy to his sickness. To his problems. To his tortures.
Castiel doesn’t ask him anything he doesn’t want to be asked and at first, Dean is grateful.
And when Cas stays there, holding him throughout the night and not leaving until the morning, he doesn’t say that he appreciates it.
That he wishes Cas wouldn’t go at all.
//
Or, Dean needs to feel something, anything, and Castiel is the only one that can help him.

Summary

Summary
“So,” Dean gets out once he slams his glass back down on the table. “Last night on earth. Any plans?”
Castiel smiled fondly at the familiar words, tracing random designs on the side of his glass with his fingertip. “This one right here. If I only have a short time left here before… I like quiet moments like these. With you. Whatever time is left, I’d like to share it with you. If you’ll have me.”
They both liked to play this game. Throwing out words that could have entirely different meanings. Nervous looks exchanged between the two of them, wondering if the other is going to take up the offer that’s hidden, no, intertwined within words that are balancing on the line between “brothers” or “lovers”.
* * *
Inspired by the song "If The World Was Ending" by JP Saxe and Julia Michaels. Castiel and Dean share a moment in the bunkers kitchen, in which Castiel reveals something he's been hiding from the brothers.

Summary
Dean Winchester's life as an English professor is fairly uncomplicated. His nights are spent watching reruns of Doctor Sexy and having the occasional one night stand--two things that nobody can make him feel badly about, not even Sam. When a certain blue-eyed author in an ill-fitting trench coat is assigned to work with his class, Dean suddenly finds himself accidentally dating a stripper, becoming attached to a guinea pig, discovering that Sam is a fangirl, drunk texting his crush in the middle of the night and maybe, just maybe learning that the messy things in life are worth fighting for.

Summary
Dean should be scared. The being in front of him was terrifying by all means and yet for some reason, as he stared into the creature’s eyes, Dean felt a warm sense of comfort wash over him. Because those dazzling, glowing blue eyes were so familiar, the pain in its eyes mirrored with Dean’s. Which is why, when it reached out one long, dripping black hand out to him, Dean reached out, too.
Dean didn’t know if it could talk. It didn’t need to, anyway. Dean knew what it was asking, and he answered the silent request without a second thought.
“Yes.”
* * *
Faced with death, Dean makes one last ditch effort: praying to an Angel he knows wont hear him. Deans prayers are answered when a vessel-less Castiel forces himself out from the Empty, taking possession of Dean's body in order to heal him.
Castiel's grace is running finite however, charged down after saving Dean's life. Now Castiel resides within Dean's mind, too weak to survive a transfer to another vessel, leading them to a desperate search for a way to rebuild his body. Time is of the essence, with Castiel's grace burning out with every passing day...- Language:

Summary
It's 1995, and Castiel's high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year when he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay.
Then new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel's classes. Castiel has seen his type before -- handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.

Summary
Long ago, the kingdom of Eacruiniel lay under siege by the Thuterons. Only under the leadership of the brave knight Castiel did the army of Eacruiniel emerge victorious. The win was not without a cost, though: the savior of the kingdom was turned to stone and put into the tallest tower to serve as a reminder.
Three centuries later, the Thuterons have invaded the kingdom once again, and Prince Dean of Eacruiniel is struggling to lead the army. After the death of one of their most prominent leaders, he escapes to the tower to talk to the statue that has heard so many of his grievances...and discovers something he didn't expect.

Summary
“Keep an eye on me, huh?” Dean struggled slowly up to a sitting position as he spoke, stiff. “How exactly is that different to watching over me? Both creepy.” He sounded tired and resigned.
It seemed, Cas thought, that after all these years Dean’s rebukes had more of a fond note to them than a horrified one. A smile lifted one side of his mouth as he responded, “There’s a world of difference between the two, Dean, to an angel.”
~~~
Cas was bound to watch over Dean. As much as Dean scoffed over their profound bond, it meant something to the angel. So Cas guarded Dean’s dreams as often as he could.

Summary
Cas enjoyed a quiet, pleasant life. A little lonely in the love department, perhaps, but he had a comfortable rhythm to his days thanks to running his basement bookstore, Subtext.
His days got a nice little shake-up when a hurricane blew a fantastically beautiful book-lover into his store; Unfortunately, Dean wasn't from Sioux Falls, and Cas wasn't sure if he was interested in any more than a dry place to pass the time.
Obviously, Cas didn't pine.
He was far too sensible for that. Or so he told himself.

Summary
Gabriel had seen a lot of pining in his time. Over the slow passing of millennia, he’d observed some of the world’s greatest love stories. Antony and Cleopatra. Orpheus and Eurydice. Mary and Joseph, not to toot his own horn. But these two… these two might be the death of him...
Gabriel had only been in the bunker three days, but he was already totally done watching Dean and Cas dance around each other, awkwardly no-homoing their way through life.
So, he came to a decision.
He was going to make them fake it. He might have been a little low on grace, but pocket dimensions and reality manipulation? Child's play, for him! Time for some new roles for Dean and Cas, in their very own fairytales.
"Changing Channels" but with fairytales. Or, when Gabriel gets fed up and forces the hunter and the angel to play at getting together... repeatedly.

Summary
Cas Novak graduated with a 4.0 in Mathematics, but not even Naomi Novak’s money could help him at job interviews. Anxious and dissatisfied with life, at nearly thirty he’s still washing dishes in the back of his best friend Hannah’s café.
Until one night when his cat drags an injured bat into his apartment.
Dean may be a vampire, but he’s not an asshole (well, not much.) He feels like he owes the awkward guy for rescuing him from the cat’s clutches, so he sets about changing Cas's life.
A silly story about families who aren’t quite what they seem, fake boyfriends, and falling in love with someone who’s never, technically, met you.
