    Summary

    He only realizes he’s doing it when it’s too late to stop.

    He’s standing in the drink aisle of the grocery store, checking the expiration dates on the cans of Coke, mentally cross-checking them with Boston’s away game schedule, and the reality hits him like someone shook one of those cans and popped it open. A snap. A fizz. A mess.

    Shane is making space for Ilya.

     

    (or, lessons in budget-friendly shopping, home decor, and resisting the urge to neatly combine all your situationship’s shit into a drawer in your bedroom because you might be falling in love with him: a seven-ish step guide by shane hollander, who is so, so fucked)

    Summary

    16 months ago, Cas became human.

    12 months ago, Cas left the bunker and a broken-hearted Dean behind.

    Now they must work a case together, where married couples are dying mysterious deaths and the only way to earn the neighbors' trust is by pretending to be married. Slowly, Dean finds that he loves being in a relationship with Cas, fake or not, and Cas finds his loneliness retreating, despite the harsh reality looming right around the corner. As Dean and Cas navigate this fake, but all too real, relationship, can they find the monster that is on a mysteriously motivated killing spree before it’s too late?

    Summary

    Sam was pretty sure he could read every single gay friendly guide to coming out or supporting queer family members ever written and literally none of them would even imply that arguing with gay people that they were actually just homophobic constituted as "ally behavior". However, Sam was equally sure that none of those book authors had found themselves accidentally watching their brother get pounded by an Angel of the Lord at 9 am on Tuesday, so Sam was pretty sure he might actually still have the higher ground. Now, if only Jack would stop trying to bond with Dean using gay slurs long enough for Sam to convince everyone of that, he might just be able to cobble together some remnant of sanity or, failing that, dignity.

    Or, the one where Sam desperately wants to invent PFLAG but Dean won't stop teaching Jack gay slurs

    Summary

    It's late at night, but Dean can't sleep thinking about the sigils that Cas carved into his freaking rib bones not even a few hours ago. He doesn't expect to bump into the angel himself when he goes out for some air, but now he's here they should probably talk about it. Cas doesn't seem happy.

    Summary

    Castiel could feel it again: himself slipping into the brink of eternity. An eternity he was never promised, but one he yearned for with every fiber of both his physical and cosmic being. He let himself fall so deeply and harshly for feelings he shouldn’t even be capable of having. Something he had warned himself against from the start because he just knew it would kill him. Still, there was that rebellious part inside of him, telling him– no, commanding him– to give in. No matter how small or quiet that instinct was, it managed to override eons of programming hardwired into him.

    So, he gave in.

     

    this was mostly inspired by Paralyzer by Finger Eleven for some reason, but u don't have to read it to understand ^^ dean and cas go to a club, where dean teaches him how to dance. this can be read at probably any point in the show after season 6, but there aren't any spoilers!
