    Summary

    “No,” he says to himself, his voice low and hoarse, “th-this can't be right, I-I-I can't be here.” He starts to hyperventilate. He feels like either he's spinning or this place is spinning, but either way, suddenly his whole world falters.

    Dean Winchester's eternal life is as fulfilling as he thinks it can get. That is until one fateful night, one surprise from his brother and Bobby, and one reunion he didn't think was in the cards.

    Summary

    Dean was 30 years old and thought going back to school would be a good idea to give him an edge trying to navigate his uncle’s business. Unfortunately, he hadn’t realized how expensive college would be. Barely scraping by to make ends meet, he comes across an ad on the university's bulletin board looking for queer men to assist one of the professors and it offers payment. Dean isn’t completely out in the open about his sexuality, but he decides to answer the ad anyway and finds himself becoming the assistant for the instructor who teaches the online erotocism class. The guy is lucky he’s hot or Dean would have turned tail and ran the moment he realized what he had gotten himself into.

    Summary

    One minute, Castiel is confessing his love as he sacrifices himself, so Dean can live. The next, Dean is dead, and Castiel's avoiding him in Heaven. Or maybe Dean's avoiding him. Dean has probably never been more confused in his life, feelings for his best friend and all.

    Summary

    Castiel Novak has an upstairs neighbour that he just detests. Dean Winchester is loud, obnoxious, always has people over when Castiel is about to cocoon with a good book, and there's always a swarm of people coming over.
    Maybe getting into an online game is what he need to distract himself.

    Summary

    Cas loves Dean.
    He had told him in his last breaths and never got an answer as to the feeling being mutual. But then Jack brings him back from the Empty and he realizes he doesn't need one. All he needs is Dean. To be by his side as whatever Dean will let him be.

    Dean loves Cas.
    But he tells him he doesn't. He tells him they’re friends. He tells him he can't. He tells him all the things instead of the sheer truth. Until he learns to show him.

     

    [Or: How Dean tries his best to shut his inner demons off, so he can be with his best friend and give in to the years-long cravings, he always tried to shove down. And how Cas stays patient, with the promise to love him relentlessly.
    Also, hunting is evolved, and everyone gets the ending they deserve!
    This story is an absolute devastating rollercoaster, so get comfortable, fasten your seatbelts and get ready to be emotionally thrown around.]

    Summary

    Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.

    “Hi, Jody,” Sam says.

    “Howdy, boys.” She asks them to take over a case. Something about werewolves. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun in months, not since their last hunt.

    Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”

    Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”

    Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”

    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

    Photographer Dean Winchester returns to Nags Head, North Carolina, to bury his father. The trip brings back memories, some good and some bad. He lived in the keeper’s house of the Pony Island Lighthouse with his father and brother throughout high school. Once he graduated, he took his camera on the road and worked himself up to a well sought after photographer, traveling the world. Coming home wasn’t going to be easy.

    Dr. Castiel Novak left the Outer Banks for college and later, medical school. Coming home years later, he set up his practice when the town’s doctor retired. He had fond memories of the beaches, the homes, and the lighthouse.

    While the two men had a shared past, time and distance made them strangers. Would they be able to find love again as adults or were their lives destined like ships in the night?

    Summary

    It’s just a joke. Dean adding Castiel Novak to his “Celebrity Freebie” list is just a joke. Dean has a girlfriend, and besides, it’s not like he’s ever going to meet Castiel, let alone sleep with him. Right?

    Summary

    The story of how best friends and co-stars became more and fell in love. Pure fluff and smut.

    (This is a somewhat prequel to my other cockles fic "Poetry In Motion" and has a reference or two to it, but can absolutely be read as a stand alone fic.)

    What he finds, however, is a naked man in his bed.

    It only spirals out of control from there.

    Summary

    “We’re supposed to be out of the life, Cas,” Dean says. “And Sam just brought it home. So, what, now we’re just gonna raise the kid? Hope that we’re better parents than our dads were so he doesn’t grow up wanting to destroy the world?”

    “He’ll just be a baby,” Cas murmurs. “Can’t we give this child the benefit of the doubt? A chance, at least, to make his own choices?”

    Dean shakes his head. “The whole thing just scares me. I don’t know how to protect you guys. What if something happens to Sam, or to Claire, or to you?”

    “Nothing will happen to us,” Cas promises. “Have some faith.”

    Summary

    After another false lead and failure to apprehend a suspected terrorist, Chicago based FBI Agent Castiel Novak met an intriguing man in an old, dark bar in a small town in Tennessee. Dean was beautiful and charming, and Cas never stood a chance to resist him. They spent the next two days exploring each other in every way, leaving with the promise to stay in touch. What followed was a deep and abiding friendship, one they both desperately needed, kept alive with phone calls and texts and an occasional meet-up.

    But fate had other ideas, shattering their relationship when a grainy photograph landed on Cas's desk. Hiding his knowledge of Dean from his partner, Cas tried to understand how the man he spent the last two years developing feelings for and sharing the most intimate details of his life with could possibly be the one he was assigned to capture. In his pursuit of the truth, his worldview would be challenged in ways he could never have imagined, and his life would be forever changed. At the forefront of it all was his relationship with Dean, the faith they had in each other, and his journey to rediscover that faith after breaking it apart with the utterance of one word - murderer.

    Summary

    It’s sort of hilarious that Dean ever thought that he could not have this. That he was ever dumb enough to think that he could pass this up, with the option out there in the universe.

    (In which they continue to work on that domestic-bliss thing).

    Summary

    Schemers and dreamers Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester have a love almost as long as their twenty-year friendship—not that they’ve told each other that, of course. Each of them yearns to have it all with their best friend, and both are convinced it’ll never happen. So when watching a reality show about clueless grooms who plan weddings on a budget for their brides without the brides’ input, talk naturally turns to planning weddings. In a terrible (or perhaps wonderful) moment of spontaneous boastfulness, Cas declares that he could plan a wedding for them without a problem, since he knows Dean so well, and in an ill-advised (or perhaps well-advised) challenge, Dean dares him to do it.

    Inspired by the British television series Don’t Tell the Bride, Don’t Tell the Groom is a fun romp about the zany lengths these men will go to for love.

    Summary

    Dean’s your typical half-orphaned, monster-killing 22-year-old until a trenchcoated stranger crashes into his back windshield one September night, claiming he’s an angel that knows him from the future and that he’s on the run.

    Frigging fantastic.

    (Or, in which Castiel gets stuck in Dean’s timeline preseries and Dean kind of hates it—until he doesn’t.)
