Summary
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.
But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets that machines aren’t supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now he’s tangled in something bigger. He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
Updates every Friday with smaller bonus chapters now and then mid-week!

The Android by WhoIPretended2Be
Such a well-written and unique story, I loved reading all of this and may have shed one or two tears… If you want a fic that captures the “profound bond” between Dean and Cas in the most beautiful way, this is perfect for you
What makes us human? Is it the body or soul?
It’s the heart.

Summary
Castiel is a shapeshifter, haunted by his mother’s murder and terrified of becoming a monster himself. Survival means pretending, and he’s learned to be anyone but himself until the night he meets Dean Winchester.
Dean is a hunter, raised to follow his father’s orders and become whatever the job demands. He doesn’t know who he is when he’s not performing, until he meets someone he calls “Blue”.
What begins as a quest for revenge turns into something else: the collision of two men hiding from the world, each desperate and terrified to be seen beneath their disguises.

Summary
When two best friends foray into a supposedly no-strings sexual relationship, someone is bound to catch feelings, someone is bound to fuck up, and someone is bound to beg for forgiveness; because that’s the recipe for a romantic comedy.
But life is not a romantic comedy, no matter how much Dean Winchester secretly wishes it was.
Instead, we present: Boy finds out boy, who has been his best friend for over twenty years, is secretly a Dom. Boy then sorta tricks boy into taking him on as his new sub. Boy discovers a side of himself he never knew existed. Boy is in way over his head.

Summary
Original prompt: something Russian Bratva related? Like Cas is the prince or whatever of this organization and Dean is forced to marry him because of an arrangement between their families. Only Dean is eighteen and very independent, he doesn't want to be anyone's pet to stay at home. Cas is older. So they end up married but even if Dean is all "no, I don't want this, I don't need anyone, leave me alone, I hate you" he can't resist Cas because he's hot and brilliant. And Cas can't resist Dean because he's just like that and drives him crazy because he's a feisty brat
Or,
The one where Dean can’t believe his fucking life and Cas, in turn, can’t believe his luck.

Summary
Dean, Benny, Charlie, Garth, and Cas are old college buddies. In their thirties now, they meet up once a year to shed their adult responsibilities for a week. This year it's Garth's turn to choose where they go and he's still as obsessed with horror and weird shit as he was back in college. He ends up picking a supposedly deserted hotel in the friggin' mountains. The place is creepy as hell and as night falls, two things become increasingly apparent. One: the place isn’t as deserted as they first thought, and two: Dean’s college stalker is back from the dead.

Number 1 Crush by Duckyboos
The best shit i’ve ever read. Absolutely number one favorite. Or should I say “Number 1 Fic”. Ba dum tss
Seriously though, I must’ve come back to this fic just to read it again and again about a hundred times now, and I don’t wanna spoil it but oh my god I love how Cas is portrayed here
If you love horror/thriller, a good mind-fuck, a bit of stalking and murder, and y’know, ART, you will love this one too
