Summary
Castiel's love confession scene is proving difficult to nail down. SURELY the characters will settle down in the next draft.

Cinderwings by bendingsignpost
An amazing Cinderella AU in which the characters stay fully in character and the world was shaped around them. This means it deviates somewhat from Cinderella, but the story is greatly improved by it. Similarly there is much worldbuilding which is fascinating and of great benefit to the story.

Somebody Else's Problem by MollyC
This set of unrelated vignettes from various popular franchises featuring run-ins with Sam and Dean are in character and quick reads. Interesting to see this odd collection of characters through the Winchesters' eyes.

Into the Fire by NorthernSparrow
HORRIFICALLY angsty (STARTS with Dean killing Cas). Amazingly well written as usual for NS. Delves further into her angel headcanon than her other works, slightly fantasy feeling at times.

Summary
Hiatus fic set after the S11 finale. Dean's alive, Sam's alive, they're going to get Cas from wherever he got zapped to, and everything's finally gonna be all right. Dean's on top of the world.
A little voice in the back of his head is whispering "It's never that easy," but Dean ignores it.

You Can Keep Holding On by NothernSparrow
VERY angsty, potentially triggering for real world health situation. Everyone's totally in character as usual with NS fics.
-
Tags
Summary
Cas is sick and Dean finds a journal that Cas kept about his time alone as a human.
This fic is a retelling of first half of S9 from Cas's POV (via Cas's journal). Lots of Cas angst/loneliness and a correspondingly equal volume of Dean guilt. Sick fic, hurt/comfort, journal fic, and a Christmas fic too.
NO SLASH but the entire thing features a strong Cas/Dean friendship.
Destiel readers: This entire fic can be read as pre-Destiel (or not, as you prefer), and if you would like to read it that way, I also wrote an optional, explicit, Destiel epilogue chapter just for you guys. :)

A Winter's Tale by NorthernSparrow
My FIRST recommendation to anyone looking for SPN fanfic (or even considering it, honestly). Significant angst, happy ending, everyone's totally in character (even more than in the show, honestly). Utterly captivating read. Keep returning to re-read despite my "to read" list being miles long.

Summary
"I mean, you’re–” He gestures at Cas, in his neat oxford shirt and nice pants. “–and I’m a high school dropout who tattoos for a living.”
Wherein Dean makes a hefty living as a tattoo artist who owns the space next to Gabriel's cafe. Sam attends the local university. When Gabe's cousin comes to live with him while starting grad school at Sam's university, Dean thinks for sure that all his negative karma's coming to bite him in the ass because Cas clearly has a thing for Sam. No one would ever choose him over Sam. That's just logic.

Summary
When Dean takes the brunt of a spell intended to evict Castiel from his vessel, his mind fractures and it falls to Cas and Sam to put him back together—not knowing how many pieces of Dean there are, or which part will come out next. Will it be the innocent child who remembers that angels are watching over him? The Hell-tortured adult who believes he’s not worthy of rescue? The angry hunter who has been betrayed one too many times? Or the lover who no longer has a reason to hold back?

Pieces of Dean by Ahaviel
An amazingly excellent canon-compliant story that explores Dissociative Identity Disorder (multiple personality disorder). Great analysis of the various parts of Dean's personality each feeling completely genuine and in-character. Also contains some extremely hot smut.

Summary
Dean is fine. The way he sees it, things are simple. He had a house and a family and food in his stomach, and now he doesn't. And yeah, that's a downer, but he's not going to let that stop him from being fine, because he's in control of the situation. He definitely doesn't need anyone to save him. And it's not like the weird guy with the nice butt from down the road is the knight-in-shining-armor type, anyway.

Empty Spaces by schmerzerling
Runner/good Samaritan Cas meets anorexic/depressed Dean just after John's death.

Summary
Dean wakes up in bed next to a very human Castiel, and a journal in his own handwriting that tells him it’s two years in the future. The house looks a lot like Bobby’s, and Sam lives there too… He just can’t remember how they got from angels falling in the sky – to comfortable domesticity.
While there is much in the journal Dean doesn’t remember, there is much of their story he’s always known. And as he settles into the routine of his new life and relationship with Castiel, it quickly becomes something he doesn’t know how to live without.

Summary
After the death of his son, there is nothing left for Dean other than his garden market. His days are tough, the nights are tougher, but at least there's a reason to get up in the morning. And with the new boom on do-it-yourself garden magic, his business is going okay.
Amidst the passing of time, there is only one thing that distracts him from functioning like a normal human being: Diagonally across the street, in the display window of that traditional Herb and Potion shop, plants are dying in masses.
Storming in to confront the owner goes differently than he imagined, though. Castiel Novak may be the kind of guy who wears old-fashioned mage robes and keeps his shop in sweltering heat, but he's also a talented herbalist, the kindest soul Dean has ever met, and utterly beautiful.
Not that Dean is ready for anything other than friendship.
(Not that Cas doesn’t get sick a bit too often.)

Summary
Dean once thought his literary themed coffee shop ‘Noveltea & Coffee’ would be a better, more satisfying source of income than working as a mechanic. He thought people would come for the good coffee and stay for an even better book selection. He also thought he’d be running it with Sam, but that didn’t happen.
Now he’s stuck with a bad mood he’s emoting all over the place, a lovingly created coffee shop no one ever frequents and a soul full of worry for the brother he no longer talks to.
When Castiel – a defeated librarian turned accountant – comes stumbling in during a November downpour, things change so drastically for the better, it might as well be magic…

Summary
"I know what you’re thinking. “Supernatural is a story about two brothers on the road fighting monsters every week, it’s not a love story.” And I mean. Wow. You’re breaking my heart. Isn’t there enough room for it to be about more than one thing? I mean, these are Sam and Dean’s lives, right? Would you want that to be all your life is about? I don’t have siblings, but I’m pretty sure that if I did, I’d want to spend time with people other than them sometimes. Maybe I dream about settling down with a nice girl and having, you know, a whole lot of cat babies. Or a goat. Or a donkey called Paxton."

Summary
They're doing that thing again, where Cas is staring at Dean with the intensity of a dog trying to remind his owner that it's past dinner time. Dean's staring right back like the first one to blink is buying the next round. Sam's aware there's a conversation going on that he isn't privy to — and he's used to it, by this point — but it's still rude.
"So, as I was saying," Sam tries to interrupt the resounding silence, "if we can just figure out a — "
"Sure," Dean says, and Sam stutters to a halt, because sure what? "I mean, yeah. Yes. Dude, you don't even have to ask."

The Specialist (Inspired By Bad Nazis) by Alyndra
This is the absolute perfect explanation. It is clearly obvious that Misha was not just using a weird accent, but instead had something very similar to this in mind. Because Misha is a consummate actor who would never choose an accent just because it was silly and he could. :-)
