Summary
Everyone knows there’s something strange about the old house on Elmwood Avenue. Its gruesome history of murder has scared off many families, but not Castiel Shurley. He believes he’s finally found the perfect home for himself and his five children. Twice widowed, Castiel is a physical therapist who doesn’t believe in the paranormal. Nor, Castiel believes, does the local plumber who comes by one sunny Autumn morning to lend a hand—Dean Winchester. But Dean, like the Elmwood house, is not all he seems.
Luckily for the Shurley’s, Dean is secretly an amateur ghost hunter who’s been guarding the Elmwood house for years. He’s determined to keep Castiel’s family safe without revealing his true identity to them, so long as he can keep his hands off of Cas. Nothing goes to plan, however, and their accidental relationship is marred by secrets and the supernatural.
Unbeknownst to anyone, the legend of the Elmwood house goes much deeper than ghosts and murder. As Castiel and Dean unravel the mystery of what really happened in that house they find themselves facing a generations’ old demon pact and a family legacy of previously unknown supernatural ‘hunters’.

Summary
Of all the places Castiel Novak thought he would take in his career, an internship as a Formula One Paddock Correspondent (or journalist, for short) was most definitely not one of them for a few reasons. One: He had no clue what the hell Formula One was. Two: He knew nothing about sports in general. And Three: He should not fall in love with the people he’s supposed to be asking hard-hitting questions to, least of all the head driver of one of the oldest and most well-renowned teams in the sport’s history.
This is a love story told around the world through the eyes of the person that knows the least about where he has found himself in. Come follow a 20-race season finding love in the lost, learning the truth, and figuring out what the hell Formula One is along the way.

Summary
Dean’s house-sitting for his brother. He’s enjoying having the place to himself, with its huge master bedroom, Olympic-sized swimming pool, and amazing sound system. By coincidence, Dean’s ex-best friend, Cas, ends up on the doorstep, and together they drink, get high, and fight about why their friendship broke down fourteen months ago.
But at least they’re talking.
Everything starts to go wrong, however, when what Dean and Cas assume is just a run-of-the-mill creeper phones after midnight, threatening to show up and murder the shit out of them. Dean doesn’t take it seriously, at least not until the phone and power lines are cut, the cell signals jammed, and oh… who the fuck is that out there by the pool with a freakin’ chainsaw?

Dean has recently been laid off and is looking for a new job. Sam and Bobby think the Dean would be perfect for the role of Novak's assistant.
Now, all they need to do is solve a few murders or it's everyone's job on the line.

Summary
Castiel's death hits Dean with a finality that leaves him drowning. Drowning in grief, in regret, in self-loathing, in heartbreak, in liquor. So when he stumbles across Lilly Sunder's notes on angels and, subsequently, a passage mentioning a gate to opening the Empty, he is determined to get Cas back.
No matter the cost.
Three weeks after Cas' return from the Empty, he is slowly healing from what the spell to retrieve him took. Three weeks after Cas' return, omens of angels and demons are scattered around the country. Three weeks after Cas' return, the Empty is bleeding.
Dean swore he would get Cas back no matter the cost. And he has, at the cost of endangering the balance of life and the afterlives. Dean has learned from dying and being the one left behind that it is easy to die for someone, but it is much harder to face the costs of surviving alongside them.
Even so, this time, Dean will not watch Cas die. And Cas has not and will not ever allow the same.

Summary
“It’s very simple: I can’t forgive someone humiliating me, only my family can get away with that kind of defiance. A rat defying me would get crushed, I could only drag them in the mud and leave them bleeding on the ground to remind everyone who I am, but I could forgive my future husband some bad words.”
AU. In New York City, the Winchester family is well-known for being important businessmen, and Dean inherited it all, becoming respected and feared. When Castiel Novak, an insignificant school teacher stood up to him and offend him publicly, Dean promises he would make him pay while also finding himself attracted to him.
Confrontation ensues between the two, and when Dean's company is accused of homophobia because of false rumors, Dean decide a marriage with another man could be the best solution. He decide to give Castiel a choice: either help him and marry him or be broken. With a daughter to take care of, Castiel finds himself with no other choice but to accept.Bookmarked by CONFUZZLED_17

Summary
But that’s the whole reason he’s here, isn’t it? He’s not out here hunting Humans. He’s not even hunting deer, or bears, or anything else that featured in Bambi. He’s out here, freezing his nuts off every night, because he’s hunting Angels.
Sometimes Dean wishes that Angels were like how they’re described in the Bible. How people from time too old for him to care much about thought Angels were messengers and warriors of God, protectors of Humans. He knows that how they’re really described in the Bible is actually pretty terrifying, but at least they were told by God that they’re supposed to love Humans, right?
That’s a thousand times better than what Angels really turned out to be.

Summary
“I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
“Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
“Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”
________Or: when Dean and Cas investigate a group of high school students getting mysteriously ill, Cas gets hit with a truth spell.
