Summary
Castiel never expected to see Dean again after all this time, but he can't say he's mad about it when Dean looks this beautiful under a haze of neon lights. No words he's written about Dean over the years could compare. Something about Dean just seems different now, and Cas can't help but want to close the distance, to learn more about the enigma of Dean Winchester.
But Castiel has changed as well, his words and appearance gaining edge and confidence, and the walls he's built to protect his soft underbelly have grown tall.
Dean's been falling in love with the emo queer kid for as long as he can remember, and he regrets losing touch with him for years after being profoundly bonded, so now he's working to try and get him back. If only it were that simple. Does Cas want to know the person Dean is now?
Can they let each other in one more time to try?

Summary
Dean's pretty hot shit at the whole Fae thing, if he does say so himself.
Right up until he meets a human so polite, so completely and utterly unable to defend against anything supernatural that he finds himself giving the guy ADVICE.
Did this Castiel seriously just offer his entire goddamn name on a plate?

Summary
Joyce had always assumed Hopper’s offers for dinner were strictly platonic, just friendly and maybe even a little sympathetic, much like the ways Karen did her damnedest to get Joyce out of the house. If it had ever been more than that— well, he certainly wasn’t clear about it and Joyce was treading the surface of her grief for months, all to keep her household in one piece.
There’s just no way. Surely she wouldn’t have missed picking up on—
She rolls her eyes. The red light changes to green and the car in front of her hesitates for half a second, so she angrily beeps her frustrations. When Joyce sees that it’s an elderly woman in the driver’s seat, she sinks into her own, and avoids making eye contact as she turns.
Fuck, she finally thinks, turning onto her road.
“Fuck,” she mutters as she parks in the gravel driveway.
There is no feasible way she’s jealous.

Summary
Castiel isn't exactly sure how Anna convinced him to come to this party. He hasn't really been one for frat parties since he was a freshman. He adjusts his plastic devil horns and sips his drink until a bare arm slings heavy around his shoulder, prosthetic feathers jammed up against his side. "Guess we're sticking together tonight," the angel says with a beaming grin, and Castiel is falling.

Summary
When Sheriff Mary Winchester accused Fergus Crowley, the most powerful man in Neptune, California, of killing his daughter Meg, she lost the town’s goodwill and was run out of office. The fallout split the Winchester family in two, with only her older son Dean choosing to stick by her side.
Now Dean and Mary run a private detective agency together, all while Dean tries to navigate the social minefield of his senior year in high school. Not to mention his thorny relationship with Castiel Novak, who was Meg’s boyfriend when she died and — once upon a time — Dean’s best friend.
Thanks to an anonymous tipster, Dean gets his hands on an important clue in Meg’s murder. He decides to solve the case once and for all — whatever the consequences.

Summary
So the man crouching in front of Castiel is named Dean. He wonders if that’s supposed to mean something to him.
“Cas must’ve got hit with something earlier. He just dropped like a sack of fucking potatoes a minute ago. By the time I was checking on him, he had already woken up again, but now he doesn’t fucking know who we are.”
“I’m right here you know,” Castiel says testily.
Sam’s eyes are wide even as his eyebrows are furrowed, and he looks between Dean and Castiel again.
“What do you remember, Cas?”
“Firstly, that I’m not Cas. I don’t know who Cas is, but it’s not me. I don’t know who either of you are, either."
or the one where castiel is hit with a memory curse that makes him forget the winchester brothers and is stunned to find out he has a family... also why can't he stop thinking about dean?

Summary
When Dean and Castiel were children, they swore that they would both be dragonriders. They’d stand together on the sands for the Impression ceremony. They'd live in adjacent rooms in the Rookery, where all the baby dragons grew up. They’d fly together in the same Wing, taking down the demons that spilled from the Hellgates—the same demons that had killed Dean’s mother. And when Sam got old enough, he’d join them.
Dean believed Castiel when Castiel said he could hear Novak, his mother’s dragon, talking—even though that was impossible. And Castiel didn’t care that Winchester, Dean’s family dragon, had a bad wing.
It wasn't much of a plan, but it was their plan. It should have been so simple.
But falling hopelessly in love with his best friend had never been part of Castiel's plan.

Summary
Any chances that he's hallucinating or dreaming disappear as soon as Dean sees his reflection. The face staring back at him belongs, without a doubt, to Dr. Castiel Novak. And holy biceps, Batman! Cas is way more jacked than he has any right to be. Who knew the world's dorkiest librarian was hiding so much muscle under his frumpy clothes? Not to mention all those tattoos on his arms, shoulders, chest, and… oh dear God, are those nipple piercings?
Or, the one where Rowena pulls a Freaky Friday.

Summary
It's about a month and a half into Cas being human when it hits, which doesn't make any sense because all the omegas Dean's ever known have a three month cycle. Dean's in the war room with Sam going over the details of a possible nest of vamps when this scent drifts into the room that makes Dean's mouth water.
"You baking something?" Dean asks.
Sam crinkles his brow. "I've been sitting here with you for the last hour. So no."
