Summary
Unlike his father, Castiel was never a believer. He didn't believe he would ever have a home and a family - a real one, full of love, happiness, and respect; the kind that only existed in movies. That he would have a partner, a friend, and an example for his son. Someone to simply share his life with.
And then, he met Dean.
But, as life often has it, nothing stays simple forever. As his complicated past catches up with him, Cas must decide between his love for Dean and Jack's safety - and do it fast, before Lucifer’s clutches close around them all.
Or, perhaps, he just needs to learn what having a family is truly about.
(It's part of a series, but you can read it as a standalone work)

Summary
Excerpt:
"On a worn-down mattress, a very human-looking frame sits curled up in the left corner, some lumpy thing tugged around it. Long shaggy hair curtaining its face, and a pair of hazel-eyes peer through them, straight at Dean.
It’s wearing worn jeans and a short-sleeved shirt, clothes which surely have seen better days.
“What the fuck? You got yourself a … what is he?” Dean tilts his head and grimaces. He knows psychics, is aware what they’re capable of. But Gordon would never dare to use a human being, right?
That’d be Dean’s – probably only – boundary he won’t ever overstep.
“A freak. Bound to demons, but not quite one,” Gordon explains, “and no, before you ask. It’s not a psychic. – We don’t do shit to humans.”" -

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.Touched By An Angel by Maya Angelou

Summary
A year ago Dean watched Sam walk away from the life. A few months later Sam dropped off the radar completely, his last words to Dean a scribbled note. I just need some time. Don’t look for me. I’ll call if I need you.
Now it's 2009 and Dean finds Sam locked in a warded cell, guarded by the Campbells. They say he's running with demons, that they call him the Boy King. They say Sam's up to something big. Dean and Bobby confront a caged Sam who is cold and distant and far too knowing. While everyone tries to tell Dean that the brother he knew is gone, Dean is determined to find the truth. Along the way he discovers angels, broken seals, a runaway apocalypse, and visions of another timeline that burned up his brother's brain.
Now all Dean has to do is figure out what Sam's endgame is and how to stop it, or risk losing Sam forever.

Summary
Castiel gets a message from heaven regarding a little creature that needs a home, but Dean isn't as thrilled about it.....
"Dean, stunned into silence at what was unfolding before him, looked on in wonder. “Where did you learn how to speak cat?” he joked, genuinely awed by how good the angel was with her… and maybe a little bit of how cute she was… but NO.
They weren’t keeping her, and that was final.
Absolutely final, Dean decided.
FINAL."

Summary
In a world where omegas' fate hangs in the balance of their parents, life could be great. Their alpha parent could take them to a courthouse and register them as free omegas. They would get a card, stating they are free, and have rights just like alphas and betas. Sucks, but that’s the best they got going for them. Or their parents could refuse to register them as free and sell them when they turned eighteen.
Dean knew it was only a matter of time before he was sold. When he presented, John didn’t take him to the courthouse. Shortly after Sam leaves for college, John takes Dean to the market and waits for a big payday. Try as he might to scare off any alphas who even so much as look at him, Dean can’t scare off a married beta and alpha couple. When he learns they want to use him as a human incubator, Dean’s sure his life is over.
Until a strange older alpha offers to pay double for him, now Dean knows he is truly fucked.
But things may not appear as they seem.

The Honor of a Herald by blackhorsedances
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005), Valdemar Series - Mercedes Lackey

Tags
Summary
Dean really wanted to be a Herald but didn’t believe he deserved the honor. Now here he is with a Companion (A magic horse that talks in his head, and how cool is that?), and the ability to hear anyone’s thoughts and predict the future (sort of). Then he meets a hot guy. Well, the guy breaks his nose and is ready to pound him into the dirt when his Companion Chevvie, and this other Companion, Seraph, show up and start yelling.
Cas wanted to be a gardener, but his father wanted him to get married. Destiny, in the form of snarky Companion Seraph, barged into his engagement dinner and changed that. Then he meets a gorgeous man, and after a rocky start, they become friends and then lovers.
As the magic storms that threaten Valdemar and the surrounding countries increase, so does the activity of a drug-smuggling and human trafficking ring. Dean, because of his skills as a hunter and his Heraldic Gifts of Mindspeech and Foreseeing, is asked to go undercover and get proof and names, so that the bad guys can be brought to justice. There’s just one problem: to save lives–a lot of lives–he has to lie to Cas.
Is their love strong enough to survive the lies, the storms, and Dean’s word of honor as a Herald?

Summary
As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.
For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.
At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.
Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.

Summary
Cas is in town to deal with the fledgling unionization that's taking place at the factory. It should be a cut-and-dried case. There shouldn't be any need to return. Definitely not to a dingy diner for a man who's married.
But Dean's husband is awful and Dean is the first person in a long, long time that Cas has wanted to let in.
So once Dean expresses interest, Cas finds his sense of decency crumbling. Even more so when Dean's carefree facade starts cracking whenever the two of them are alone.

Summary
Folklore professor Castiel Novak and his niece Claire have found the “stairs in the woods”, an urban legend that Novak wants to include in his forthcoming book about urban myths. A simple exploration turns tragic when Claire disappears. In a race against time and the unknown, Novak needs expert help and he needs it fast.
Dean Winchester may be retired from hunting monsters, but he’s still saving people. He and his team–IT wizards Charlie Bradbury, Dorothy Baum, Frank Devereaux, and lawyer Sam Winchester–work to find people who have disappeared and return them to their families. The pay’s decent, and it’s less risky than hunting a nest of vamps (usually).
Chance, or perhaps fate, leads Dean to Castiel Novak and his missing niece. Dean knows he should avoid getting emotionally involved with the handsome professor, but there’s just something special about him. The closer he gets to Castiel Novak, the more he’s pulled into the web of urban legend that might lead to secrets he’d rather not tell…

Summary
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.
But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets that machines aren’t supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now he’s tangled in something bigger. He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
Updates every Friday with smaller bonus chapters now and then mid-week!
