Summary
Getting used to Heaven is something of a marvel. It ain't perfect, and Dean thinks he'd hate it if it was, which is probably why it isn't.
~~~
"You don't understand," Dean whispers, exhaling shakily. "I know you don't, because even I don't. The instant you were gone, I wanted you back. Cas, I wanted you back. I wanted—I wanted—"
Cas stares at him, searching his face. After a moment, his own face falls slack, eyes widening just so. "Oh," he breathes out.
Dean wants to be furious that Cas has figured it out before he has—whatever it is—but he's not even that surprised. Cas knows him too well, always has, even more than Dean knows himself. He's been kicking Dean in the goddamn teeth with how deeply he understands him, even about the things Dean doesn't, ever since they first met. You don't think you deserve to be saved, that's what Cas had said. All bundled up in impossibilities and power, this being that looked at Dean Winchester and knew every single inch of him, as if he had a right to each part.
"What?" Dean grits out.
"I love you, too."

Summary
What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea.

Summary
Takes place immediately after Episode 14x8 (Byzantium), after Castiel makes the Deal with the Empty. Castiel and Dean have had a long, undefined physical relationship that is more to both of them than they'll let themselves say. But in the wake of Castiel's deal he's hesitant about being with Dean, because he's afraid any moment of happiness will drag him away into the void - but Dean has no idea, and is left struggling with why Castiel seems so distant from him.
Title comes from Dean's line in 14x9 (The Spear): "We got -- We got Jack back. When was the last time we had a big, no-strings-attached win like that? "
(Part of a series that explores a "between canon" relationship between Dean and Castiel)

Toward Despair by AmberXBoone, corrupt_touch (AmberXBoone)
Fandom Supernatural, Supernatural (TV 2005)
12 May 2025
Summary
Imagines/fills in the gaps of the 12 year relationship between Dean Winchester and Castiel that led to the "Despair" confession scene and envisions that the confession scene was really just the culmination of a physical relationship/"profound bond" that turned into something else (for both of them). Canon-compliant, just "in between" that canon.
Not written in order of events.

Summary
When Dean wakes up alone in his bed, he doesn’t think anything of it. It wasn’t unusual for Cas to disappear in the middle of the night.
When he wakes up alone, in a strange bed on a ship, that’s the moment he panics.
When Cas finds him and tells him they keep referring to him as Misha, that’s when things click into place.
They are no longer in their own reality anymore. They’re back in the one where they’re actors of a show called Supernatural.
It’s up to them, with Sam, to figure out how they got there and how to get back home. All whilst dealing with a convention on a cruise ship.
Can they figure it out before they’re stuck there forever?
