Summary
Ever since he was a sapling, Castiel knew he was different. The forest was full of trees, but none were like him. It did not trouble him much. Not while the human boy, Dean, spent the days beneath his branches, filling the quiet by recounting adventurous tales in the shade of Castiel’s leaves.
As they grew together, Castiel knew they were kindred. Until the day the Dean’s family moved, and Castiel was left alone.
Years later, when Dean returns to the forest as a grown man, Castiel discovers that some connections don’t fade, and that love, once rooted, has a way of changing everything, and that even the wildest things can find a place to call home.

Summary
Human genders wasn't exactly something angels usually had to concern themselves with. Neither primary or secondary gender was of any importance to them.
Castiel thought he had been lucky enough to have a beta as his vessel. Little did he know he was wrong about said vessel's designation.
Very wrong.

Summary
Castiel is not a fan of sports. Goodness knows then why his brother Gabriel felt the need to give him season tickets for something called banana ball. Or a calendar featuring members of a team named the Kansas Kowboys. Except... Mr. January, one Dean Winchester, is awfully attractive.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt if Castiel just went to one game.

Summary
Dean is the proud and happy owner of Ramble On, a coffeeshop that he built and now runs with the help of two of his best friends. Bit too popular with the hipster crowd maybe, but if they like his coffee and his tunes, then they can't be all bad. They also don't complain when he serves them hungover, which, score.
Castiel works for Heaven, a corporate line of coffeeshops that all look identical, sound identical, and make coffee so terrible that he's surprised God himself hasn't popped down to say, "really?" He's stuck there though. Which he could cope with, if not for the locals who are all completely insane, including the furious proprietor who just happens to be right across the road.

Summary
A sequel/continuation to 'A Really Great Idea'
In a fantastic move, to top off an entire lifetime of them, Dean joins the Bratva, and he's totally not happy about that in the slightest. It's definitely all about keeping him and Sam safe after their fuck up. Nothing to do with the hot as fuck Avtor-something that keeps pushing him around. And he hates fighting and getting one over on cops and making bucketloads of cash. Really.

American Psychics/American Psychos by Golden_cosmic_laurel

Summary
It had been like lightning.
Sam hadn’t thought about his own natural psychic abilities in years, not since he’d gotten back from the Cage and hadn’t dared try to use them. He hadn’t had a vision anyway, not since Azazel.
But Magda Peterson. A kid, really. A bruised, tortured, flayed kid---had repeated things he’d told himself for years. Phrases about ‘unholiness’, ‘abomination’, and ‘unclean’. Simply because she had a part of her that others didn’t understand.
It had been like being struck by lightning. The realization that it wasn’t true.
And if it wasn’t true about Magda, it wasn’t true about Sam.
OR:
A fix-it for the entirety of season 12 of Supernatural starting with saving Magda Peterson. Sam gets his powers back when saving Magda, and Ketch does NOT get to her in time. A look at what the season could've looked like if things were just a little to the left (and a huge step sideways from canon).
Heads up, I'm saving literally everyone that got killed off this season. Except Toni and Ketch, they suck. Season 12 pissed me off more than any other season so I'm fixing it and giving Sam, Dean, Cas, and the rest of the cast the life they deserve. Fuck canon.

Have You Tried Turning Santa's Workshop Off and On Again? by FriendofCarlotta

Summary
Dean is an elf in Santa's workshop, and he's not very good at it. Is it really his fault though if the gift assignments made by the workshop's new AI are so consistently awful? No wonder he's not meeting his quotas.
Unfortunately, the higher-ups don't see it his way. Dean gets demoted to the very bottom of the rung, the mailroom, where he soon discovers that things at Santa's workshop are even worse than he thought. With the help of his friend Charlie, his slightly uptight brother Sam and five-time Elf of the Year Castiel Novak, Dean brings to light a conspiracy that threatens the integrity of Christmas itself.
Oh, and if he's lucky, he'll get to hook up with Cas along the way.

Summary
Christmas time in the office means Dean wants to sneak out, but Charlie drags him back for Secret Santa. Dean just wants to pull Castiel’s name from the hat, because the man’s face when he is happy… that can fuel Deans fire for ages.
Castiel doesn’t like Secret Santa. He always gives his all in a thoughtful gift, and receives stupidly practical gifts in return. If only he could make sure his giftee was Dean Winchester, the coding specialist that Castiel has been crushing on ever since they met.

Summary
After breaking up with his long-term boyfriend—and the Dominant who once held every part of him—Dean is restless, raw, and lonelier than he’ll admit. Meg steps in with a solution: her best friend Castiel, a quiet man she swears is exactly Dean’s type. Dean doesn’t do blind dates, but Meg is relentless, and Cas seems harmless enough in theory.
In practice? Not even close. Castiel radiates command, the kind of presence that makes Dean’s pulse stumble. His voice leaves no room for argument, his gaze cuts straight through Dean’s defenses, and his restraint carries the promise of punishment waiting just beneath the surface. Dean thought he was finished with Doms. Castiel intends to remind him exactly what it feels like to kneel.- Language:

Summary
Dean has a good life. Sure, his daughter’s dead, and he has a permanent limp because of a stupid drunken decision a year and a half after Emma’s death. But now he's a world-famous author, fifteen years sober, and has wonderful friends and family by his side. Though… his house seems a bit too empty. There is a reason he spends most of his time at Sam and Eileen’s place.
But, after the CEO of the biggest tech company in the world comes to one of Dean’s book signings for his daughter, Dean can't stop thinking of the CEO's bright blue eyes. Except that Dean isn’t looking for a relationship. Yes, he’s comfortably bisexual, but that’s beside the point. Dean has had too many failed relationships and has too much baggage. So, why does Castiel keep emailing him? And why does Dean keep emailing him back?

Summary
"She went to bed, unaware of her missing cloak. Ignorant, of the clawed hand that had picked it up from its fall off the path.
“You know better, darlin’.” A fanged grin flashed in the night. "
A one shot inspired by Hozier's song "It Will Come Back". Slight Little Red Riding Hood inspiration as well. Darker themed Little Red Riding Hood, and much more adult themed. My first AU for Inuyasha!Warning: SMUT
