Summary: When used to fantasize about one day joining the likes of Gunnar Lawless in the ring. He just never imagined it like <i>this</i>: debased by the vampiric curse coursing through his veins, forced into fighting other monsters to the death for the entertainment of the Powers That Be. He’s been stuck in <i>Purgatory</i> for so long he’s almost forgotten what it was like to be human. Escape is an impossible dream, and death isn’t an option either. Until a new kind of creature is brought in, one who makes Dean begin to feel human again: an angel named Castiel.

Pairings: Dean/Cas

Length: 14396

Warnings: N/A

Tags: Hospital AU, Top Cas/Bottom Dean, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Implied Minor Character Death, Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary: Dean used to love being a nurse, used to feel like he was doing something good every time he stepped foot in the ICU. These days, more often than not, he’d rather be just about anywhere else. It’s for this reason that he’s once again found himself in bed with some super hot, super buff, super stranger from Grindr. Just something he does to take the edge off. Unfortunately, like everything Dean does, he probably should have thought about it a bit more carefully — Cas is a doctor, apparently, and there’s only one hospital in town, and when some cocky new resident starts giving him attitude in the notes at work, well, he just should have thought about it a bit more carefully. Just when he thought floating to a different ward couldn’t get any worse. Fuck.  Or A new doctor in town. A nurse on the verge of burnout. The very real threat of HR getting involved.

When the entire cast of the show was reunited for a fan convention on board a cruise ship, old wounds resurfaced. But that wasn't the only reunion on board. Dean had been in hiding for years, and the convention brought him back into the public eye. Someone from his past was planning to use the cruise to take back what was theirs. Time might pass, but love remains. Will Cas and Dean be able to save each other before it's too late?

EMT Castiel Novak has returned to Lawrence with his two kids to be closer to the family of his youth and away from the controlling father who took him away at a young age.

Fate has a funny way of working itself out - so does family.

Warnings: Cancer, Alien Abduction, Body Horror

Tags: Inspired by The X-Files, FBI Agent Dean Winchester, FBI Agent Castiel, Friends to Lovers, Government Conspiracy, Case Fic

Summary: Castiel Novak is perfectly happy with his work as an instructor at the FBI Academy, regardless of his parents’ belief that he’s wasting his medical degree. But then his life is turned upside down by a new assignment: to join Agent Dean Winchester in investigating X-Files — FBI cases that involve unexplained phenomena. Castiel is meant to test (or rather, debunk) Dean’s famously wild theories, but he soon finds himself drawn into events he can’t explain. The more time he spends with Dean, the harder it becomes to resist the pull of a man who cares more — and believes more fervently — than anyone Castiel has ever known.

a breakdown in diplomacy

Author: dothraki_shieldmaiden

Rating: Explicit

Pairings: Dean/Castiel

Length: 43158

Warnings: N/A

Tags: Demon!Dean, prisoner!Castiel, BDSM, Gentle Dom!Dean, Enemies to Lovers

Summary: Castiel doesn't really know why his superiors picked him for a diplomatic mission to Hell, to meet with Dean Winchester, the Knight of Hell currently challenging Lilith's realm and thereby plunging Hell into a bloody civil war. He doesn't know why Heaven cares who sits on the throne of Hell, and he doesn't know why he was sent to Hell alone. But none of those questions matter. Castiel is a soldier, not a diplomat. Except soon, Castiel is neither of those. Castiel is a prisoner, and Dean Winchester is his captor. And Dean has no intention of letting Castiel go.

Rating: Explicit

Pairings: Dean/Castiel

Length: 11642

Warnings: no major warnings apply

Tags: BDSM, Dom!Castiel, sub!Dean, power bottom!Castiel, service top!Dean, roommates, friends to lovers, shy!Dean, confident!Castiel

Summary: When Dean’s roommate, Cas, needs a model for his photography project focused on kink and erotica with a Dom/sub perspective, Dean is quick to volunteer. Granted, Dean doesn’t have any experience with BDSM and never modeled before, but he’s always been a fast learner and he likes helping others.

Besides, it doesn’t hurt that Cas is sex on a stick and keeps challenging what Dean knows about himself. Dean is used to placing others’ needs before his own, but Cas has been swiftly chipping at his walls, making him yearn to be taken care of for a change. And the most mind-blowing thing is that Cas seems to enjoy caring for Dean as much as he does. With Cas, Dean wonders what it would be like to let his guard down and release control for once.

So yeah, this modeling as Cas’ sub should be easy peasy, right? As long as all the feelings Dean has harbored over Cas don’t get in the way, he should be friggin’ dandy.

Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester

Length: 4557

Warnings: N/A

Tags: AU Modern, Vintage clothing, Estate sales, meet cute, business partnership, falling in love, Destiel

Summary: Dean loved vintage. Especially vintage clothing, music, and ephemera from the 50s through the 80s. He was a regular at the regional estate sales and had a good eye for what he could resell through his online store.  It was just another early morning checking out the most promising sale of the weekend when Dean saw a pair of striking blue eyes and sinfully dark chocolate hair. The man also seemed to be interested in vintage clothes - just more upscale and from earlier eras. Dean kept an eye on him, and once determining he wasn’t direct competition, started to seek him out at future sales. Dean soon discovers that the other man, Castiel, also has a great eye and they start splitting the local sales - making purchases for each other by proxy and texting on items they’re unsure about. When a big city-wide, three day event of estate sales is planned for Topeka, Dean proposes that the two of them head to the big city together and put their system to a larger test. Will this be the start of a friendly partnership, or something more?

Summary: Dean made an ass of a first impression on the new dancer. The gorgeous Russian ballet guy. Because of course he did.

Just what he needed to never be taken seriously.

Summary: No fate. No claim. Just a choice – and two people brave enough to make it. Everyone thinks they know how the story goes. Hades finds Persephone. He takes. She blooms. But this time, Hades is Castiel – lonely, tender, patient – and Persephone is Dean – fierce, guarded, and done with being written into someone else’s myth. In a world full of gods who take and stories that repeat, Castiel chooses something else. This time, love waits. It asks, gently. It doesn’t take, doesn’t demand, doesn’t wrap itself in prophecy and call it fate. It stands at the threshold and says, “Only if you want me.” And when the answer is yes – truly, freely, yes – it’s not a myth. It’s real.

Tags: Alternate Universe - Circus Enemies to Lovers From Sex to Love Mutual Oblivious Pining

Summary: Dean Winchester is living the dream. He's headlining show after show as a performer in Milton's Traveling Troupe, wowing audiences with his deadly precision, traveling the country with his friends who have become more of a family. When things get tight, his close friend (and the ringmaster of the Troupe) Gabriel informs him that he's invited magician Castiel Novak to join them for part of the tour. With Novak's popularity continuing to rise, it's a surefire way to get people in seats. Dean, however, is less than thrilled at the prospect. Between Gabriel not even asking for his thoughts and the fact that Novak gets to jump straight into headline shows with Milton's, something that took Dean years to achieve, he's determined to hate the guy. When Novak shows up, there's just one problem- not only is he the hottest guy that Dean has ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on, his dislike for him might not be enough to deter him
