Summary
Dean wants his brother back in his life; he wants to forgive Sammy for doing magicks as a kid and move on. When he finds Sam, however, he learns his brother is still practicing magicks and is learning from a much more powerful witch.
When that witch stirs up the innate magicks that were hiding within Dean, it becomes clear he's going to have to choose between the world of absolute good and evil his father has presented and the world of grays and blurred lines Castiel wants to show him.
Can it really be so simple as practicing magicks and still being a good hunter, a good person?
Probably not.
OR
A Witch/Familiar AU that leans into as many tropes as possible, including Castiel as a white witch in love with plants and bees, and Dean discovering he's a kick ass familiar. It has some angst and some action sequences, but is ultimately a coming-of-age love story about finding out who you're meant to be.

Summary
On Samhain night, the veil is thin, not only between the spirit world and our own, but between humankind and their inner natures.
Every year, the hunt is run. Alphas and omegas brave the woods in search of glory and passion. Every year, Dean Winchester comes out alone. The soulbrand on his neck means that he has a True Mate, and what should be a blessing has only been a curse.
He hopes, and he waits, and this year his soulbrand has been itching as if it were newly risen.
It's nearly sundown.

Summary
“Bet it’s a bonding thing.”
Castiel looks up.
“Hmm?”
Dean gestures his fork toward Castiel, chewing and swallowing.
“What Rowena said. About power. You think it had something to do with our bonding?”
He plucks at their connection for emphasis. Castiel can never forget it’s there, an easy humming energy.
“I dunno. Maybe it...maybe I affected you somehow. That’s why you’ve been struggling.”
“That’s—no. Dean, there’s no possible way you’re the cause of this. If anything—”
He stops abruptly. Dean looks up.
“What?”
“Dean,” Castiel breathes. “You’re a genius.”

Summary
Dean visits his childhood home - Bobby’s and Ellen’s place - for Christmas. His brother just got engaged to Jess, everyone is happy and Dean flees outside into the snow because he loves their happy, but he also can’t take it. Not when his own happiness had been so close, living in the house next door actually, and he’s lost that person and that happiness 10 years ago. But of course he can’t resist venturing out into the snow to see whether the old walkway they’d built between two trees to bridge the fence between their lives still exists. The question is: Is he the only one who still remembers?

Summary
Dean wakes up in an alley after a bar fight with no memory of the actual fight. When a handsome stranger comes to his rescue, Dean’s torn between being wary and being grateful. But fortunately, Castiel knows what he’s doing. Even if it originally doesn’t necessarily seem that way (enter Dr. Chuck Shurley, veterinarian).

Summary
Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.
You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.
From a prompt found on Tumblr. Saw this and I couldn't resist a Destiel AU, and I've been wanting to write Witch!Cas for ages. Link to tumblr prompt will be in the end notes—be forewarned, contains spoilers!

Summary
Sergeant Dean Winchester has a job to do. Clear the streets of a little French town called Bayeux. It’s a show of presence, really. The enemy is gone. Perhaps it’s for the best since he’s never been one much for killing.
It’s a job, though, and he gets by. There’s really not much more to it than that.
~
Two years after returning from war, Lieutenant Castiel Novak is tired. Hungry, too, and he has this perpetual headache that has everything to do with the bottle of brandy on his shelf, and not a thing to do with anything else.
His life is falling apart, but he has his kitty, Charlie, and he has himself. He gets by. What more could he need?
But life is more than ‘getting by’ and maybe it takes a few catastrophes for them to see it. Maybe it takes a music box figurine on Castiel’s doorstep, or a desperate brother looking for answers.
Maybe it takes a little bit of magic.Two soldiers, two strangers, separated by time, distance, and life between living, brought together by circumstances neither of them can control, and changing them both beyond measure.

Summary
At twenty-eight years old, Dean’s standing on the edge of his life, ready to jump into everything he’s ever wanted.
He’s a talented mage with a promotion in his sights and a family who loves him. Great friends, a nice apartment, and a niece he adores—life should be good. Great even.
But it’s not.
There’s this pit in his stomach—an ache in his chest that feels too much like loneliness and not enough like wanting to do anything about it.
So, he gets by.
Until he doesn’t.
Until there’s an accident of cosmic proportions in his classroom, with him right at its centre, that puts him in the hospital and changes everything.
Until he looks in a mirror and blue eyes appear in place of his own.

Summary
Is it possible to fall in love with a person you have never met? Even in a world of soulmates, even in a universe where soulmates can send messages to each other after both turn eighteen – even there, it is a rare occurrence.
Rare, but not unheard of.
When the first words appear on Dean’s arm, he would’ve never thought that one day soon, he would be one of those rare cases. He hadn’t intended for it – but with every word written on his skin he can’t help but fall, truly and deeply, for the person on the other side of his soulmate bond.

Summary
The fire is as hot and bright as it’s going to get, and dusk has fallen in earnest.
He’s gotta stop dicking around.
Shaking the nerves out of his fingers, Dean picks up the jar of ashes and stands over the flame. Rubs his thumb over the raised logo on the glass, smearing his own fingerprints.
“Well,” he clears his throat. “Here goes nothin’.”
And he spikes the jar into the heart of the flames.

Summary
Castiel’s soul mark always felt more like a burden than a blessing. He never expected to find a match, someone he could imagine sharing his life with - not until Dean Winchester. Castiel and his brother Gabriel work as soul mark artists, tattooing those not born with marks; Gabriel does the tattooing and, with his thorough botanical knowledge, Cas makes the inks. But when they go to an estate for a young man named Sam Winchester, Cas discovers that knowing the language of flowers is a far cry from knowing the language of love. How can he convince Dean, a man so rarely able to make his own choices who hates his own soul mark, that being together is worth it, regardless of whether the universe says they’re meant to be or not?
