Summary
Everything Castiel is, everything he’s made of, is hitched to a thin golden string attached to Dean Winchester’s soul, tugging him closer, begging him to let them collide.
He recalls Aristophanes’ story of creation; the one in which humans were split in two as a divine punishment, forever in search of their other half.
Cas is not human, but he understands the sentiment.
_____
In which Dean is finally in a world without impending catastrophe, but it's also a world without Cas. He spends all day fighting not to think about it, and at night, his sleep is haunted by grief.But then his dreams start to feel more and more real, and no grave can hold Cas down.

Summary
It’s the summer before Sam’s freshman year at Stanford, and Dean is tired of his dead-end life in Lawrence. His solution? Move to California to be closer to Sam.
At first glance, it’s the perfect plan: beaches, sunshine and a free place to stay, courtesy of old family friend Bobby Singer. It gets even better when Dean meets Cas, the hot tattooed guy who works at a video store on the local boardwalk.
But while Dean is busy falling in love, Sam encounters the darker side of summer: a girl named Ruby, who is connected to an awful secret that Cas has carried with him for the past five years.

Summary
In one universe, Dean Winchester is pushing thirty. He’s just danced at his little brother’s wedding, he likes his job at the garage, and he goes on the occasional hunt with friends and family. He’s also desperately lonely for someone to share his life with. One day, he finds a mysterious package outside his door. It contains a news clipping about an urban legend that just might be real, and a book by Professor Castiel Novak, who happens to specialize in that same urban legend.
In another universe, Castiel Novak’s roadside motel is slowly dying, its business hollowed out by the interstate system. Dean Winchester, the man who asked him to run away together years ago, is only a painful regret these days. Until the day a mysterious letter Castiel doesn’t remember writing brings Dean back to his doorstep.
Out there in the multiverse, a man and an angel look for each other in all the wrong places. In the meantime, they might as well help a few other versions of themselves figure things out.

Summary

Except his heart doesn’t seem to have gotten the message. When Dean Winchester takes over the convenience store down the street from Castiel’s bookshop, Castiel falls helplessly in love with his new neighbor.
To make matters worse, Castiel’s sister Anna is also interested in Dean. Believing that Dean could never love him, Castiel decides to help Anna win his heart instead.

Summary
Cas is back from the Empty, and things are fine. Dean told Cas he loves him too, but also that he doesn’t want to be more than friends. (Which is a lie, but seems like the safer choice if he wants to keep Cas for the long haul this time.)
Since things are completely fine, it shouldn’t be an issue for Dean and Cas to investigate a mysterious death together. There’s just one problem: in the course of their investigation, they meet a woman who can tell truth from lies every single time. Will the woman’s apparently impeccable “bullshit detector” pick up on what Dean really wants? And will Dean and Cas be able to find the monster before it kills again?

Summary
This must be some kind of horrible joke at Castiel’s expense. Is he truly expected to protect a King? One who has been their enemy for as long as he can remember? He is much more suited to being a part of the army, or at the very least someone who helps to train the knights. That would be far more preferred than having to watch over the King. It means Castiel would get to keep fighting – and that’s the only way he knows to give meaning to his life.

Summary
When Sam finds a potential case of a missing teenage girl in an online newspaper, the Winchesters head out on a hunt. With Castiel in the backseat, eager to learn the family business, no one expects anything too difficult. But once the gorey details of the case start to emerge, no one is sure what creature feature they've walked into. Tensions start to rise as the investigation evolves: Sam is struggling with an impossible puzzle, Dean hates nothing more than feeling trapped, and Castiel can't fight the draw he feels for the Winchesters.
𖥸
"Please find my daughter," Mrs. Weaver said, staring at them in turn, eyes glassy, hand loose on the storm door.
"We'll try our best."
The storm and front door shut them outside. A series of clicking sounds from locks were the only thing they heard besides the huff of breathing and patter of rain droplets being slaughtered on asphalt.

Summary
They were painters, and they were painting themselves a lovely world...
Castiel runs a coffee shop, rides a motorcycle, and is trying to make a name for himself as a painter. Dean is a mechanic, who makes amazing, intricate metal sculptures as a way to stay sane. Somehow, universes (or maybe, an Impala and a Harley Davidson) collide.
From there, they build a magical, beautiful life together. They buy a gorgeous old farmhouse where Cas keeps bees and chickens. (The chickens even have their own beautiful home called ‘Cluckingham Palace’ that Dean built for Cas with his own two hands.) And when two orphaned children, Claire and Jack, are in desperate need of a loving family, it only makes sense for them to open their home and their hearts, and become a family.
Life… is amazing — storybook perfect. This story follows their love and their lives over the course of almost ten years… but could one of them be hiding a deadly secret, that threatens to ruin everything they have?
Title inspired by: Painters by Jewel

Summary
Castiel swore to protect Jack at all costs. If that means taking him away from the dark dungeon of the bunker and away from the harsh words and hands of Dean Winchester, then so be it. Castiel takes Jack and runs. He finds them a safe town, a battered rental house, a little job and a little life. He wants Jack to have a normal childhood; to grow up safe and loved, not in a windowless basement.
Dean tracks them down, of course. He begs forgiveness, of course. Redemption is a long, slow road. It’s paved with ginger cats and broken-down Hondas, stolen kisses and dusty libraries and bathroom repairs. Dean and Castiel find themselves growing closer in the haze of domesticity. Dean moves from sleeping in the car, to the sofa, to Castiel’s bed. It’s not easy to carve out a place for themselves in a world that doesn’t always want them.
But strange things start to happen in the home they’ve made. Neighbors complain of shadows in the night. Monsters appear that don’t belong. Coincidences line up. Wherever peace and happiness try to grow, there are adversaries who would snuff it out. The love holding their family together just might be the last weapon they have against the evils of the world.

Summary
With a storm surge on the horizon, Dean Winchester needs to get home, but he can’t ignore the feeling in his gut urging him to turn around. The awkward, hoodie-clad homeless man has already disappeared from his rearview mirror yet something draws Dean back. Maybe it’s the fact that the guy looks lost in more ways than one, or maybe it’s something behind those intense, ocean blue eyes, but either way, Dean can’t leave the guy stranded in the impending downpour.
Castiel Novak is running away from his problems. Far away. It’s a decision that made sense at the time, but with his resources running low, no place to stay, and the sky about to rain down on his head, he’s beginning to rethink his life choices. All seems lost until a green eyed local offers him a place to stay dry for the night.
This chance meeting between two strangers shifts the course of both their lives in a way that neither could’ve ever expected, and as they struggle to deal with the secrets of their past while navigating their relationship into the future, they come to find that maybe together they’re the perfect storm.- Language:

Summary
“Are you serious, Dean? Your djinn-dream started with you dying?” Sam asks incredulously from the passenger seat on the way back to the bunker.
“Well, technically it started with us going on a hunt,” Dean points out. He licks his lips, jaw clenching. “I mean, there was Heaven, too, and that was pretty cool.”
Sam stares at him. “Unbelievable,” he breathes, scrunching his face up in distaste. When Dean glares at him, he holds his hands up defensively and chuckles weakly. “Sorry, man, but that just sounds pretty lame.” He leans back and folds his arms. “It just…I dunno. Kinda sounds like something Chuck would cook up. Just you and me. No one else. I mean, really?” He scoffs, slumping.
*~*~*
In which some people come back, Cas learns to be human (the right way, this time), Dean Winchester finally realizes that good things do happen, and they all get their version of the post-credits, apple-pie life they deserved.
AKA: Screw Chuck's narrative.
