    Summary

    Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak were inseparable friends growing up in the too-small town of Heaven Falls, New York. But that all comes apart when, on the verge of leaving for college, Castiel tells Dean that he's in love with him. Dean doesn't say those three words back, so Castiel leaves, and builds a life as an attorney in Manhattan, where he convinces himself he has all the success and happiness he ever wanted.

    Decades later, Castiel's brother dies in a tragic accident, and Castiel finds himself returning to Heaven Falls, and to everything he thought he'd left behind. A chance meeting in a bar leads to Dean making a confession to Castiel - he had always felt the same way, but was just too scared to say it. And an unexpected night with Dean makes Castiel to question whether he should return to to the world he once thought was his dream, or stay in the place that feels like his home

    Summary

    "Most of his visitors are academics. They come from universities all over the nation, sometimes beyond. Others write books. The man in the Reading Room today is neither. He’s a tall, irritated man with a federal badge."

    The federal agent's partner is usually the one who does the research. And even though Cas doesn't think this man is a real federal agent, he's happy to help where he can.

    Summary

    Dean's lunches with Cas are the best part of his day. He even drinks a glass of wine every time, because Cas is a sucker for red wine and Dean is a sucker for Cas.

    One day, Dean decides to pour himself a second glass (and then a third). Consequences ensue.

    Summary

    Since a traumatic incident six years ago, Castiel Novak’s face has been disfigured by a scar. He’s resigned himself to being someone people can barely stand to look at, let alone love.

    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

    Naturally, with the death of Cas at Lucifer's hands, things have gone to hell in a handbasket yet again. Chuck's solution? To cram Dean's 2017 soul back into his 2008 body and give Dean a shot at Apocalypse take two. Catch is, Dean can't tell anyone about this as he meddles with fate and tries to avoid annoying the wrong people...too much. And trying to get through to the douchey love of his life a second time isn't helping matters, especially when he's trying to avoid boning said douchey love of his life. But hey, he never was any good at keeping secrets anyway...

    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

    Dean has been quietly pining after his neighbor Cas for years, but as a vampire, he can’t exactly make friends with mortals — let alone date them. He’s pretty much resigned himself to admiring Cas from a distance.

    Everything changes the day Dean falls off a ladder during some routine home maintenance and breaks his leg. Cas is the one who finds him, and he insists on taking care of Dean after he gets home from the hospital — never mind the fact that by the time Dean’s home, his leg is all healed.

    Cas, obviously, can never know.

    Castiel has admired his neighbor Dean for years. Unfortunately, being a witch, it would be unwise for him to pursue a relationship with a mortal. Still, when Dean is injured in a fall, he can’t help wanting to take care of the object of his affections.

    If only he could tell Dean the truth.

    Summary

    Heaven is quiet. Their life together is peaceful, gentle—even the sex is soft, mostly. But Castiel has been wondering for a while now what it would feel like if Dean didn’t hold back. When he finally asks, Dean listens. What follows isn’t roughness for the sake of it. It’s trust without hesitation. Love without limits. All of Dean—given freely.

    Summary

    Cas started running every morning ever since he became human and moved in the bunker. Dean's still not sure why he wakes up at five AM to cook breakfast for everyone. Or why he looks forward to mornings all of a sudden. Was it because he's trying to live healthy? Was it because he likes seeing Cas all flushed and happy after his runs? Who knows these days? fluff and smut.

    Summary

    Maybe the reality is that he clings too much. Maybe he’s too desperate and sometimes, that makes him unkind. Sometimes, he’s rough, because it’s purgatory, because every godforsaken monster wants Cas, wants his angel who’s had the misfortune of being stranded here with him, so he snaps. So he says, Hey, Cas, get the fuck over here, if Cas strays too far. He says, Damn it, Cas, if Cas takes a step too deep into the woods without him, and then he yanks, takes the angel by the hand, brings him closer and closer, and with hands on Cas' hips, he guides him.

    And then eventually, the true hunger of purgatory gets to Dean.

    Summary

    Dean takes a really, really long drive to kick fear in the ass. It might just be the best thing he ever decides to do.

    ~~~

    The seat squeaks, and Dean follows the sound, his gaze trailing down. There—where Jack sat moments ago—is a much tinier version of him. He looks mostly the same, just...smaller and more dimply and cuter, if that's possible. His clothes have shrunk to fit him, so he's casually sitting in a t-shirt, jeans, and scuffed tennis shoes. He swings his feet from side-to-side over the edge of Baby's seat the same way Sam used to in the back, and he stares up at Dean with clear eyes. 

    "Oh," Dean blurts out, eyes bulging, "Cas is going to fucking kill me."

    Summary

    It’s there, as much as it isn't. But that’s just Dean and Cas. They are complicated and messy and always so close, yet they never have enough to get all the way. How they share a bond so strong, while being so devastatingly separated by so much, Sam will never know.

    ***

    “I must press upon you the importance of this opportunity, Castiel,” Mick says, still watching Cas intently. “And quite frankly, I'm looking forward to working closely with you.”

    Sam's eyes widen, and he twists around on mere reflex alone, grabbing Dean before he can launch himself at Mick. Dean slams into him, but he's too angry to be thinking clearly, so Sam manages to wrestle the gun from Dean's hands before he can do something he'd regret later. Now is not the time for caveman tendencies, nor is it the place to stake his claim. Dean lets out a real, genuine growl, face pinched in fury.

    God, Sam can't wait to tease him about this later.

    Dean Winchester is not a stalker—or so he tells himself.
    Sure, he might’ve joined a yoga class just to catch glimpses of his ex, but that all changes the moment he lays eyes on the instructor: Castiel.

Ignoring the building desire seems to be going well until Castiel accuses him of stalking Lisa. In an abrupt attempt to refute the allegation, Dean confesses his steamy fantasies.

    Summary

    Based on this text post from thebloggerbloggerfun: "Listen, imagine Eileen sneaking out of Sam’s room at night to go to the bathroom or something and steps out into the hallway in one of Sam’s shirts only to see Cas trying to quietly leave Dean’s room while wearing one of Dean’s shirts and they both just stare at each other awkwardly for a few seconds before trying to muffle quiet laughter and now they have a late night club where they talk about life and gossip about the Winchesters in sign language"

    And this anon I received: "what if Eileen and Cas discover there are some things Sam and Dean both do in bed because Dean jokingly gave Sam pointers when they were younger and Sam took the advice"
