Summary
“I wish I could stand,” Cas says.
“Yeah,” Dean says.
Cas holds up his hand, flexes it, stares and then drops it.
“This weakness is unsettling. I can’t—I can’t even hold a pitcher of water, Dean.”
Dean makes a small sound in his throat, a non-committal hum.
He’s done soaping up Cas’ hair. He grabs the sponge at his side and starts to scrub at Cas’ skin, up along his arms, his neck, down his chest. When he runs it up his legs, to his thighs, Cas shudders and then there’s a hand cupping Dean’s cheek, cold and dripping water and soap, and Dean falters, looks at him for the first time.
“Will you sleep with me?” Cas says. “Tonight?”
Dean swallows.
He says yes.
After Lucifer's possession, Castiel stops talking.

Summary
Dean Winchester has devoted his career as a police officer to helping angel slaves in any way that he can. He even formed and heads the "Angel Welfare Task Force," which involved him being called to consult on any case involving slaves. This passion stemmed from an incident that happened twenty years previously, when a thirteen year old Dean failed to help his friend Castiel escape being sold to a sadistic owner.
Dean had never really harbored any hope of finding his friend. He saw his work as something he did in memory of Castiel, to prevent others from suffering the same fate. But, when called out on a routine case one day, Dean was startled to find that he recognized the victim.

Summary
Castiel and Dean meet for the first time on a plane ride out of Nowhere, Alaska. Castiel’s headed home after an impulsive solo vacation and Dean, a hardened Alaskan native, is just trying to get out of the impossibly small town he grew up in that’s got nothing left to offer him. They forge an instant connection over Dean’s flying anxiety and whiskey, a meet-cute that has all the makings of a rom-com with a sickeningly sweet happy ending. That is, until their plane explodes in mid-air, crashing headlong into the Alaskan wilderness and killing everyone on board save for Dean and Castiel. When no rescue shows up to save them, the two men are forced to make some tough decisions. To make it home alive they’ll have to trust each other and find faith neither of them has ever really wanted. Will they survive or succumb to the unforgiving mountain wilderness? And will their journey tear them apart... or bring them closer together?

Summary
What seems to be a routine witch-hunt in Colorado goes awry when a few days later, Castiel ends up burning up with a fever, huddled in bed and gasping for air. The brothers are faced with the dilemma of having to deal with Castiel's illness, as well as figure out the cause of it. The catch, however, is that Castiel was never cursed by the witch. It was Dean who had been hit with a spell. Upon calling Rowena, the brothers find out all the answers they need, but executing those answers may turn out to be a little more complicated than expected. At last, it is up to Dean to cure Castiel of the witch's curse.
And the cure? 24 hours of naked, physical contact.
Dean has a lot to face— including his underlying love for Castiel, his emotional turmoil, and a grumpy, feverish angel who has taken a liking to cuddling.

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
John Winchester is back.
It’s been a long two days of catching John up on everything he missed. Well, almost everything. There are things Dean was trying to keep to himself. And then he doesn’t get to hide it anymore when a stop in the kitchen for a midnight snack exposes everything.Or
The one where a midnight snack leads to Dean being caught in a *compromising* position by his newly un-dead father. And a whole mess of miscommunication and misunderstandings leads to punches being thrown.PS. I have not actually SEEN episode 300 so if you have seen the promo- this is SPOILER free!

Summary
The thing is that Jack is a good student. A great student, even.
As the school counselor, Vera’s been trying to make sense of it on her own for awhile. He's such a nice boy, but his behavior is off-putting in a way she can't quite put her finger on. She hates having to bring parents into the equation, but with Jack, she’s reached the point where there’s simply nothing else she can do.

Summary
A 26-year-old Dean is transported to 2021 and confronted with the unfathomable - a future where he is happy, safe, and loved.
---
“Aren’t you gunna say it?” he asks tentatively, as if he’s crazy for picking up on the obvious.
“Yeah, you’re me. Past me, anyway,” the other Dean replies. “I wanna know from when.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Time travel,” the older Dean states as if it’s so obvious and ordinary. “It happens.”
“To who? Marty McFly?”

Summary
Cas asks Dean to marry him, and Dean can't think of a reason to say no.
~~~
"Dean," Cas says calmly, gingerly sitting his fork down, and oh, this is gonna be a thing, Dean can tell. Sure enough, it is because Cas goes on to say, "What would you think if I suggested we get married?"
Dean blinks and swallows the food in his mouth, staring at Cas curiously. "I would think...you were either on drugs or going insane, why?"
"I'm not inebriated, nor mentally unstable."
"I—I…" Dean takes in a deep breath, then blows it out heavily. "Cas, you're not fucking with me, are you?"
"I'm not," Cas tells him.
"Okay," he says, "fuck it, let's get hitched."
"Thank you," Cas murmurs sincerely, then picks his fork back up and goes right back to eating.

Summary
A collection of the fics I've written in which Castiel is both sick and human but previously an angel (so no AUs, unless they're canon divergent....which due to the whole human!Cas thing is probably all of them).
There's no continuity between them, so it's 0% necessary to read the others or read them in order.

Summary
Some kinds of love are more dangerous than others.
Aside from his job as a stripper, Castiel’s life is fairly boring and full of routine, but all of that is about to change. A traumatic and brutal assault threatens everything he's built, but it's the rescue by an intriguing (and terribly attractive) stranger that really winds up turning Castiel's world upside down. His knight in shining armor turns out to be as sweet and supportive as he is beautiful, but the would-be hero has secrets—the kind that some would kill to keep.
Perhaps even more shockingly, Castiel does, too.
So what will happen when they all come spilling out?
