    Summary

    Dean’s finally come to the conclusion that his life will benefit from him getting rid of the old to make room for the new. He starts by donating a bunch of things to charity, only to see one of the blankets he’s donated wrapped around someone sleeping in the street a couple of days later. He can’t know that, when he approaches the cocoon lying on the sidewalk that first time, but giving away his old blanket has started a sequence of events that will bring into his life all the new he could hope for, starting with the man sleeping under it.

    Castiel's lost everything. He’s homeless, living in the street and determined to keep going until he won’t be able to go on any longer. And then, he’ll see. For now, he finds solace in the little things, desperate for any scrap of hope that might come his way. Like the blanket he got from the shelter, with the ugliest dog face that ever existed, complete with flapping ears, that has made him smile for the first time in weeks. He couldn't have possibly known, when he chose that particular blanket out of those available, that that choice had started a sequence of events that will bring into his life all the hope he was looking for, starting with the man who sewed and donated it.

    Summary

    Castiel knows three facts about Dean Winchester: he loves coffee, he loves pie, and as heartbreaking as it is, he’s homeless.

    When Castiel offers Dean a place to stay on a cold winter night, he never expects it to lead to anything more than a simple act of kindness. But as Dean begins to take refuge in his home, Castiel’s life is turned upside down by the unanswered questions Dean carries—and the growing connection between them.

    In the warmth of shared moments and quiet understanding, they both begin to heal from the past, but the future remains uncertain.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester moved to North Jersey on a whim a few years ago.
    Charlie, his high-school bestie, scored him a paramedic job in one of the most violent areas in the country. Dean didn’t even blink. He’s wanted to be a medic ever since he spent his childhood patching up his dad’s various open wounds. He could tell you it’s because he’s noble, but nope — Dean just likes digging around in the squishy parts.

    Also, Dean’s an idiot.
    His adrenaline addiction sends him straight into a dark alley one night, where he ends up on his knees in front of an ocean-eyed mafia god who looks far too eager to let (force) Dean explore the insides a bit more.

    Summary

    It’s 1973, and it’s the middle of spring, and each passing day is warmer than the one before it. The troops are returning from Vietnam in droves, and the American shores they stumble upon are just a little more accepting of homosexuality than the ones they left all those years ago. But Father Castiel Novak has never even stepped foot out of Salvation, let alone out of the Midwest, and as the only priest in this very small town, he’s determined to remain in the closet until his very last breath.

    Things take a turn when Salvation’s newest resident confesses to having urges for other men. Dean Winchester wastes no time in asserting himself as both intolerably arrogant and an ungodly temptation, and Castiel’s only defense is to keep his distance. Despite his best efforts, a friendship still ensues, and it’s a very slippery slope then, with things going from bad to worse when Dean offers his self-proclaimed good hands to help bring Castiel’s family home back to life.

    Summary

    "You have given me what I needed most. I want to do the same for you," Amara had told him.

    What if what Dean Winchester had needed most wasn't Mary back, but was for his long coveted Angel to finally be HIS Angel.

    Of course getting what you wish for is never as simple as it first appears and it isn't long before Dean discovers being with Castiel means getting a hell of a lot more than he bargained for.
    ~~~
    Dean had known Cas to go over protective on him before, but this was ridiculous. It was only a bit of food poisoning, or a bug. Living most of his life on the road, surviving on truck stops and greasy diner food, Dean had had plenty in his time. Twenty four hours at the most and he’d be back to his usual self. There was really no need for Cas’ panic.

    Was weird that he hadn’t healed him though.

    “Your healing mojo must be off,” Dean grumbled. “Still feel like crap.”

    “You’re not sick.” Cas' eyes never left the road ahead.

    “Oh yeah?” Dean cocked a cheeky eyebrow, “The chunks I blew at the side of the road back there would prove otherwise.”

    “You’re not sick,” Cas repeated, deathly serious. “...You’re pregnant.”

    Summary

    Dean Winchester knows two things about hockey, two things his dad made sure he knew. One, hockey is a guy’s sport, and two, hockey is family. Hockey meant Sam and Bobby and Benny and Victor and Gabriel and hell, his entire team. So when Victor gets traded, Russian-star-turned-new-teammate Castiel Krushnic becomes a threat. As much as Dean hates him for that, the longer he sticks around, the more he begins to threaten that first rule too. Dean’s been taught his whole life that those who play hockey should not be captivated by deep accented voices and the way a guy handles his stick, so how the hell is he supposed to justify what he’s starting to think about Cas? All Dean wanted at the beginning of the season was to win, and now all he wants to do is figure out how he feels about Cas and how to deal with it without ruining his career and tearing his family apart.

    Summary

    Dean’s favourite coffee shop, The Graveyard Shift, is only open after the sun goes down. Which is perfect for him, because that’s exactly when he craves coffee the most while doing the overnight at the fire hall. The coffee shop’s owner is pretty perfect too, but it’s kind of a bummer that Dean never gets to see Cas during the day. In a world where the supernatural live more or less in peace with the rest of humanity, it’s a little impolite to ask Cas just what he really is - or what his dark past entails.

    Summary

    Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.

    No matter the cost.

    Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.

    Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.

    Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

    Summary

    [Update: 1 Mar 2016: Rewritten/Remastered! Please reread if you've already read it because this is the final version I've been dying to turn this into. This is how I wanted this story to be, and how I imagined it, and I changed enough for it to be a new experience. Thanks!]

    Dean and Castiel's relationship has evolved over time- from strangers to roommates, roommates to friends, friends to best friends. The most troublesome evolution came to pass when they went from being best friends to "We're just friends."

    Summary

    Dean's equally exciting and terrifying news are forced to take a backseat for Castiel as he struggles to find the Omega ring for which his Omega's abuser was recruiting. While Cas is away, Dean grows closer to Eileen- also expecting her first pup- and her Alpha mate, Sam, which gives him insight into his foggy past and a glimpse into his future.

    The increasing time apart proves difficult for both Dean and Castiel, leading way to feelings of inadequacy for Dean and discomfort in his rapidly changing body. Meanwhile, Cas fears that spending so much time in his wolf form while searching for the imprisoned Omegas will drain away his humanity...and ultimately lose him his mate.

    Summary

    Ten months after a traumatic experience leaves his daughter mute, single father Castiel Novak decides to heed the advice of Claire's therapist and get out of the city for a while. Obsessed with My Little Pony, Claire begs to go to "a pony farm" and, well, Castiel will do just about anything to make his little girl smile. A quick Google search later and he's booked a three month stay at Winchester Family Farm.

    Neither Castiel nor Claire knew what to expect when they arrived at the farm, but it certainly wasn't a gorgeous, green eyed cowboy who knows ASL and has a penchant for collecting orphaned animals. Nor were they expecting the entire Winchester clan to make them part of the family. But that's exactly what happens, and it isn't long before Castiel realizes that not only is Claire healing, but he is as well.

    A story about hope, healing, and finding home.

    Summary

    From a crumbling fortress hidden in a deep green wood, Castiel watches a world he is destined never to join. It’s a solitary existence but he is, for the most part, content. The companionship of his friends, the wolf and the crow, is enough.

    At least, it has been, for as long as he can remember. Until one night the unthinkable happens and a strange man finds his way into Castiel’s sanctuary. A man whose presence makes his heart seem to beat for the first time…who makes him begin to question everything about his strange secluded world.

    As one of King Arthur’s most trusted warriors, Dean’s future was bright and his path clearly laid out for him. He would be knighted, then married, fulfilling his obligation to his father and the destiny John had chosen for him.

    It seemed a perfectly good plan, until the night Dean dreams of a young man with full lips and kind eyes….eyes that make him want to cast destiny aside and live in his dreams.

    Can Cas convince Dean he’s not just a dream? Can Dean defy his father and choose his own destiny? And can they both solve the mystery of Castiel’s curse before it threatens their love and Camelot’s future?

    Summary

    After Castiel returns from the Empty the first time, the bunker doesn’t feel the same—because Dean can’t keep pretending everything is fine. Faced with the reality of almost losing Cas for good, he finally asks him to stay, not out of obligation, but because he needs him there.

    Admitting that his feelings run deeper than they ever should have been is one thing—but accepting them is something else entirely. Dean’s spent a lifetime convinced he doesn’t get happy endings, especially not ones like this.

    With Cas back by his side, unwavering as always, Dean is forced to confront the truth he’s buried for years: maybe he wants more, and maybe he deserves it. The question is… can he let himself have it?

    Summary

    Dean is a sheriff in a tiny town in Colorado, restless and unsatisfied with his life. It's not like what he's read about in the dime novels since he was little, capturing dangerous outlaws and being the last word of the law. More like tossing the town drunk in a cell to sober up when they get a little too rowdy.
    But Dean's chance comes when a thief rolls through their town. He pursues the thief, which puts him right into the path of Emmanuel, a notorious outlaw. When he is captured by the outlaw and his gang to be held for ransom, Dean starts off on a journey he could have never envisioned, and learns that perhaps there's more to Emmanuel than meets the eye.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester travels the wide-open country, looking for bounties to collect and doing odd jobs to make ends meet. Usually, he rides with his brother Sam, but they’ve had a falling-out and now Dean’s all by himself — until he meets Cas Novak, a preacher’s son in search of his missing father.

    Cas believes his notorious outlaw brother Luke knows something of their father’s disappearance, so he asks Dean’s help in tracking Luke down. Dean figures there’s no harm in helping out, and he might earn himself Luke Novak’s bounty into the bargain.

    All Dean needs to do is keep a lid on his growing feelings for Cas.
