Summary
Dean Winchester was never supposed to touch you. He's your daddy's best friend for god's sakes! He's the kind of man who fixes cars, drinks beer on the porch, and keeps his hands to himself. Until the summer gets too hot. Until you're home from college. Until your dress rode too high. It's wrong, dangerous, and has already gone too far.
A twisted, Southern Gothic descent into obsession, guilt, and the kind of love that feels like sin.

Summary
Fire had surrounded Dean his whole life, swallowing him and Sam whole. The kind of fire that didn’t just burn wood and walls, but the kind that burned entire worlds. When he was three, it swallowed his mother and the home they’d built, leaving nothing but ash and smoke in its wake. After that, John Winchester raised him and Sam with calloused hands and a single mission: be strong, be tough, be the kind of men who could stare down the flames. Maybe training his boys to fight the thing that killed their mother helped his dad heal. Dean figures therapy would’ve been better.

Or; Firefighter Dean Winchester meets Paramedic Castiel while out on a call. Cas is calm, collected, and Dean is obsessed. But he can't exactly place why..

Summary
Their skill and family name a curse to those they hunted, Dean didn’t think there was much out there they couldn’t handle. With their dad hunting the thing that killed their mom, he and Sam fought the good fight. And that had been the status quo until he’s suddenly faced with an angel that swears he’s there to protect him but acts more like he’d prefer to eviscerate him on the spot.
When things go from bad to worse and its his brother’s blood that’s got demons popping out of the woodwork, Dean doesn’t know what to do – who to turn to. But if there’s one thing ingrained into him its this: protect Sammy, at all cost. So, when he finds himself relying on an angel that may or may not want to stab him, he figures he’ll do whatever he has to. And if by some miracle he managed to convince Heaven’s most grumpy angel that humanity was worth something, well…that was a bonus, right?

Summary
Dean Winchester has survived Hell, Heaven, Purgatory, and approximately twelve different apocalypses. Now, with a little magical backup and more stubbornness than sense, he’s going to rescue Castiel from a mystical, slightly passive-aggressive moving house, with the Empty still lurking around the corner.
The only hitch?
He’s doing it with whiskers and a fluffy tail.
Sure, it’s nuts. But so was everything else that ever got them here.

Summary
"Dean Winchester knew grief and loss. But, he’d never known something quite like this. Nothing had prepared him for this hollow, insidious kind of grief. One that didn’t burn or roar but settled in his chest like a stone, pressing against his insides, and curling its claws around his ribs, whispering endlessly; you lost him."
Or, Dean struggles with the loss of Cas, and in his grief worries that something just isn't quite right about it all...

Retirement is great.

Yet it's midnight and Dean is lying awake on his back, Cas' head on his chest, messy curls ticking his chin. By all counts he should be peacefully slumbering, but there's a buzz under his skin that he just can't get rid of.

Summary
Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Until it does. Castiel knows all too well that the path to hell is paved with the purest of intentions. Freshly flung out of the Empty with Gabriel as the angel (devil?) on his shoulder, the brothers wake up in unfamiliar vessels as an invisible string pulls Cas back to his righteous man. When sparks fly for the second time, will he finally be able to bask in the warm embrace of Dean's love or will his deception burn it all down?
Or
The one where Gabriel convinces Cas to possess a female vessel once they escape the empty and meet Dean for the 'first time' to find out if his feelings are unrequited like he believes them to be and finally answer the burning question on everyone's mind; is Dean Winchester actually straight?
P.s. As a millennial who longs for the days of posting cryptic song lyrics on your socials to alert everyone to your current emotion state, all chapter titles will be song lyrics. Enjoy.

Summary
"Before I go, there's something I must do," said Jack.
Dean's heart began to beat faster.
"What?" asked Sam.
Jack smiled. "Castiel," he said. "He's been like a father to me. If he hadn't protected my mother, I might never have been born, and his deal with the Empty saved my life. The least I can do is return the favor."
Then he turned to Dean and said, "He'll be waiting for you."

Summary
Growing up in Lawrence, I used to have playdates with my neighbours, Dean and his younger brother Sam. Some of my fondest childhood moments took place in their house, especially when Sam and I would celebrate our birthdays together. Born on the same day and year, just on different continents.
My family had moved to the peaceful city when I was three years old. Immediately, Sam and I were attached at the hip, which also meant I spent most of my time watching the two brothers bicker and teaming up with Dean to play pranks on Sammy. Every morning, I would cling to the older Winchester, begging him not to go to elementary school and abandon us, and every morning without fail, he would hug me and reassure me that he was always going to come back.
That is, until everything went up in flames. I was 5 years old when I watched them wave me goodbye for the first time.
Twenty years later, I reconnected with them, just in time to lose them again in the span of six months.

Summary
Cas comes back to the edge of the bed, a hand outstretched. "Dean?"
"Yeah."
Cas touches him, and he feels that sickening rush of mending, skin growing under fresh scabs. Bone grinds in his chest as a rib shifts minutely—he didn't even realize it was fucking broken. The pink and green hotel room snaps into a disgusting level of focus and he's left with cottonmouth and a faint headache but none of that blanketing drunken numbness, his pain both dragged to the forefront and almost completely diminished.
He jerks away from Cas too late to make a difference. "Fucking hell," he starts, then closes his eyes and takes in a few gasping breaths. This is wrong, he's not ready to stop hurting. This is wrong.Cas returns to their lonely hotel room as Dean is picking up the pieces of a really bad night. Set during season four, when Dean and Sam are on the outs. Content warning for brief but specific references to real-world hate crimes.
