Summary
Castiel, a sarcastic and quiet bartender at a queer club, doesn’t intend to fall for the club’s newest drag queen. Cherrie Pye, however, clearly doesn’t care about Castiel’s intentions. She’s all glitter and attitude – strutting onto the stage and into Castiel’s heart like she owns the place.
Then Castiel meets Dean, the man behind the lashes. He’s no less charming than Cherrie, and totally straight.
(And Castiel? Well, he wants both of them. Obviously.)
A short, sweet slow burn (think toasted marshmallow) about drag, desire, mistaken assumptions, costume disasters, and learning to love someone in every version they come in.

Summary
Dean is a novice in the dom/sub world asked by his employer as a desperate last resort to be a sub for his recluse of a brother, Castiel. Castiel is a diagnosed OCD suffering from PTSD and agoraphobia, mysophobia, and dystychiphobia. Needless to say—he’s a mess who hasn’t stepped out of his home in literally seven years. The only times Gabriel can see traces of the way his brother used to be is when he feels in control—specifically when he has control over a sub. However, due to his idiosyncrasies and paranoia, keeping a sub around has been impossible. Enter Dean, who’s not a very traditional submissive, to try his hand at subbing for the hermit.

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
The man he’s riding with is a nice guy, Dean thinks. Cas, is his name. About 30 years old.
Dean had thought he was nice from the first time the guy fucked him. He wasn’t too rough about it, even though he paid enough that he could be. He touched Dean’s hair when Dean blew him, which made Dean embarrassingly hard.
He doesn’t get a lot of affection, out here on the road, living truckstop to truckstop. It’s why even the hint of it had had Dean gambling, offering his ass up for the next few weeks if the guy agreed to take him along for the ride.
************
Dean is a truckstop hooker. Cas is a trucker. He hitches a ride with Cas, planning to head out towards California and his brother. What he finds along the way, though, might make it hard to get out.

Summary
Sam's getting married. Which is great. Genuinely, really great. Dean is happy for him.
Dean is also, as a direct consequence of this engagement, standing in a church parking lot for the first time since he was four years old, which is less great.
But it's just his luck that he meets a man with dark hair and blue eyes who owns a '68 Fairlane 500 with a 428 Cobra Jet under the hood that nobody's looked after properly in eighteen months.
It's also just his luck that the man is a Catholic priest.
Dean is thirty years old and should know better. However, he does not, apparently, know better.
Dean offers to fix the car.

Summary
Commander Dean Winchester never expected deep space to feel so claustrophobic.. or alive.
When his mission fractures in the dark, Dean finds himself stranded, drifting between impossible horizons as his instruments start to fail while shadows move and blue fire flickers at the edge of vision.
He finds himself somewhere that shouldn't exist, and yet it waits, shifting, breathing, changing shape beneath Dean's feet as days and memories blur. There's no rescue coming. only a slow uncanny sense that he's not alone.
As reality bends and desire tangles with dread, Dean is drawn deeper into the planet's mysteries, and the presence that watches, hungers, and waits for him in the void..

Mistaken for a PI, Castiel learns the new owner is obsessed with the headliner, Dean. Castiel doesn’t get attached to people; drugs and sex are easier. But there’s something about Dean…

Summary
Brittle and battle-worn, Cas looks at him over coffee one morning and says, "I need to go," and Dean instantly knows that he's not coming back.
He's not really sure how he knows it, but he does. It settles into the pit of his stomach, curling hot and tight like something he instinctively wants to tear out with his bare hands. He takes a breath, and it gets stuck in his throat, hitching there. It hurts, hurts, hurts when he finally exhales.
"Yeah," Dean says, "of course you do," and he nods jerkily as he looks down at his phone. He doesn't say goodbye. He doesn't look up from the screen when Cas gets up and leaves the room. He doesn't finish his coffee, or move for a long time.
By nightfall, Cas is gone.

Summary
“Don’t make me an optimist. You will ruin my life.”
Dean Winchester finally has his shit together: business is booming at his auto repair shop, he's eating healthy (okay, he's eating salad with bacon bits), he's exercising (in a cemetery). He's single, but he's claiming it as a good thing. And so what if Sam's not talking to him? So what if his dad is marrying an insane artist? And so what if the priest marrying them is hot as hell with a name that sounds like a sin just to say it — Castiel?
AKA: another Fleabag fic, but maybe it'll have a happy ending. Maybe.

Summary
Cas is in town to deal with the fledgling unionization that's taking place at the factory. It should be a cut-and-dried case. There shouldn't be any need to return. Definitely not to a dingy diner for a man who's married.
But Dean's husband is awful and Dean is the first person in a long, long time that Cas has wanted to let in.
So once Dean expresses interest, Cas finds his sense of decency crumbling. Even more so when Dean's carefree facade starts cracking whenever the two of them are alone.

Summary
In the hay loft of an old barn, two lost boys find each other.
The first time, they’re children, with their fathers’ bruises on their bodies and a connection that wasn’t meant to be.
A decade later, the bruises have solidified, sunk into their bones. Dean carries it like a thin veneer of devil-may-care attitude, using it as a shield from anything too real spilling out. In Cas it swirls as a smoky darkness under the white shirt and silver cross of being the pastor’s son.
Their connection still isn’t meant to be, but Dean can’t stay away, even if the friendship threatens to destroy both of them.

After Hollywood screenwriter Castiel Novak suffers a very public fall from grace, he’s in need of a fresh start. He gets it in the form of a job offer at a small-town newspaper owned by his Aunt Amara.
All Castiel is looking for is a soft place to land for a while. But in the process, he finds things he never expected: friendship, community, acceptance and, in local barber Dean Winchester, the love of his life.

Summary
After 15 years, a wedding in Vegas 12 years ago, and half a dozen impulsive decisions (including a matching tattoo they still see daily), Dean and Castiel are getting a divorce.
It's been six months since they've separated, and Dean is still in denial, back in his childhood bedroom at Bobby and Ellen's. On the other side of town, Cas is playing the dangerous games of how-many-shifts-in-the-ED-can-I-pick-up-before-collapsing and will-my-liver-survive-to-see-another-day.
Then Dean gets called in the middle of the night by Sioux Falls General Hospital, telling him his husband’s life is hanging by a thread after getting hit by a car on his way back home.
A coma, serious injuries and several surgeries later, Cas is back home with mandatory presence required to help him with reeducation and monitoring his progress. And against all odds, Dean is the one staying around to help.
Dean and Cas’ respective worlds get thrown for another ride, shifting perspectives again.
What if things between them were salvageable? What if everything wasn’t the way they thought it was in the first place? Is it worth trying to glue the pieces back together?
An exercise in healing and second chances.

Summary
Cas looks even more tired than Dean feels. His eyes are red and the bags under them are more prominent than ever. His hair is a hot mess, reminding Dean of the time when Cas was still able to take off any second with just a flick of his wings. The cut on his neck is covered with a white bandage now and he wears different clothes, a gray sweatpants and a black shirt with a hole on the collar, that Dean recognizes as one of his. It makes him look different. It makes him look soft.
Dean likes it a lot.
---
Cas is back and that is great. Except that it worries Dean how much Cas struggles to adjust to humanity, haunted by nightmares and memories every night. So it's just a gesture of their friendship, despite Castiel's feelings for him, when Dean offers Cas to stay with him at night.

Summary
After an explosive fight with his wife, Castiel Novak finds himself divorced and unemployed at thirty-four years old. Reduced to living with his cousin, Gabriel, he runs into the last person he expected to see: his ex-roommate and best friend, Dean Winchester. In a fit of generosity, Dean makes an offer to Castiel: move out of Gabriel’s house and into his. At least until Castiel gets back on his feet.
Living with Dean is easy, and almost immediately, Castiel and Dean fall back into their old friendship. And living with Dean awakens other feelings in Castiel, ones that he once thought impossible (doesn’t everyone appreciate the aesthetic qualities of their roommates?). But the specter of one disastrous night in college hangs over them both, making it impossible for them to truly reflect on their friendship–and maybe making it impossible for them to move forward into anything real.

Summary
It’s 1973, and it’s the middle of spring, and each passing day is warmer than the one before it. The troops are returning from Vietnam in droves, and the American shores they stumble upon are just a little more accepting of homosexuality than the ones they left all those years ago. But Father Castiel Novak has never even stepped foot out of Salvation, let alone out of the Midwest, and as the only priest in this very small town, he’s determined to remain in the closet until his very last breath.
Things take a turn when Salvation’s newest resident confesses to having urges for other men. Dean Winchester wastes no time in asserting himself as both intolerably arrogant and an ungodly temptation, and Castiel’s only defense is to keep his distance. Despite his best efforts, a friendship still ensues, and it’s a very slippery slope then, with things going from bad to worse when Dean offers his self-proclaimed good hands to help bring Castiel’s family home back to life.
