Summary
Dean sits back in his chair, drinking his coffee and watching Castiel. After a few moments, he realizes that the soft, mellow feeling in his chest is… contentment. He's not happy in the way that a little kid is happy at their birthday party, or even in the way that he is when Cas or Sam has been miraculously brought back to life after one of the long string of disasters in their lives. He's happy in a new and different way. And has been, maybe, for a while now. Nearly as long as Cas has been living here, human, in the bunker.
And then Dean Winchester has a moment of absolute clarity.

Summary
Maybe he didn't need to wrap his arms around Cas at night. And maybe their legs didn't need to be so tangled. But Cas had read somewhere that being that close could synchronize their heartbeats and make them calmer at night and therefore it would help them sleep better. It was for scientific reasons that they were a heaped pile of grabby octopus legs and blankets every night.
Dean and Cas have been best friends since they were six. They're now twenty and in college and sharing a bed nearly every night. Yet, they still deny that they are together. Everyone around them knows Dean and Cas are in love with each other, they are just waiting for the two to figure it out for themselves.

Castiel Novak is relatively happy living his solitary life as a Starbucks Barista. He lives alone with a cat named Hamburger, and he has one (1) emotional support friend, Gabriel.
Unfortunately, he is plagued by the fact that some guy (see: a random hot dude named 'Dean') is giving out Castiel's phone number as his own. And he's been doing it for months.

Summary
So, the first thing that happens is Castiel comes back.
~~~
"Right," Dean says eventually, gruffly. He looks down at his shoes. "I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, man. It's—you know, yours. Do your thing, love who you love, whatever. I can't really stop you from loving me, if that's what you've decided to do, but I don't—I can't—"
"I know," Castiel murmurs, still just smiling a little, not looking heartbroken at all. "Don't worry about it, Dean, that's all I ask."
"So we're—" Dean risks a glance up, swallowing thickly. "We're good?"
Castiel hums. "We're good."

Summary
Sam's been through a lot lately, what with tonight's hunt rendering his skin an aching shade of purple and all. He can deal with Dean being overly concerned about Cas' broken finger, and - God help him - he puts up with the sound of their preposterously soppy love confessions and first kisses on the adjacent bed. But he cannot be expected to remain silent and feign sleep throughout the entire duration of their first-ever lovemaking session. He just can't. Especially not, because it seems apparent that Cas is more intent on deflowering himself than letting Dean do it.

Summary
God has been defeated. Jack is the new sheriff in town. They’ve won, and they’re free.
But Castiel is still dead, trapped within the unreachable depths of the Empty, and not even Jack and his powers have the ability to free him.
Dean has barely spoken two words to anyone since Jack left to assume his new godly role. He spends hours locked in his room, alone, blasting music to drown out his misery, and unbeknownst to Sam, praying to his angel, praying that somehow, Castiel would return to him, just so he could finally tell him he loved him, too.
Now, almost five weeks after Cas was taken, Dean’s missing. He’d mentioned something about catching wind of a case in a nearby town and left before Sam could stop him or offer to go with him. Something about needing to get out and clear his head for a while.
Except it’s been days, and Sam might not have enough time to get to him. Not after he researched the case Dean had mentioned and quickly came to realize that all signs pointed to one monster:
Djinns.

Summary
Dean and Sam have just moved the offices of their IT business into a new space in a local building downtown. It was a smart move, but Dean finds himself getting distracted by the dark-haired, blue-eyed manager of the deli in the lobby of the building. Being married, he tries to fight the attraction, but can't seem to stay away.
Castiel is feeling jaded after a bad break-up when he meets the flirtatious and handsome Dean Winchester. He has every reason in the world to avoid Dean. The no dating office lessees rule, his no bisexual men rule, and, of course, this new man is married. The allure is hard to ignore though. Castiel wants to be the good guy he always is, but it's gotten him nowhere. Perhaps it's time to be bad and see where some broken rules might lead.

Summary
What started as a collection of drabbles exploring the idea that Dean and Cas had a sexual relationship prior to 15x18. Now has a plot of its own. Very angsty due to canon-compliance.
Not every chapter is explicit; they are tagged individually. Each chapter is around 2k words.

Summary
Things are finally settling back down to normal since Cas gave up his grace to cure Dean of the Mark. Well, as normal as their lives are allowed to get. Sam relentlessly finds new cases to work, one right after the other; but Dean thinks they need a break to let Cas have some purely human fun, for once. It’s true they had a difficult time readjusting to humanity at first, but Dean thinks Cas deserves to do more than ride around in the back seat and follow them on monster hunts. Then again, Dean’s a little bit scared to ask exactly what Cas would want, just in case it doesn’t include spending quite so much time with him. And with Sam (of course).
Sam’s been tracking a series of odd occurrences in Laramie, Wyoming for the last few weeks that looks just enough like a case to finally convince Dean they should go check it out. Whether they like it or not, the goddess responsible for the weirdness in Laramie takes an immediate interest in the three less-than-perfectly-happy hunters who’ve stumbled into her town.Series

Summary
Admitting it won’t make Dean any more inconsolable than he already is, and he’ll never feel Cas’ absence any more or any less acutely than he does in this exact moment. “He’s gone,” Dean finally admits, because it seems like the only thing left to say.
When the terrible, swollen vacancy of the room offers no recourse, Sam says, “I know.”
