This GIF always gets me. Because normally Cas would just put his hand on Dean and heal him, but here, he reaches out slowly and hesitates a bit. Almost like asking permission as during this time, their relationship was strained.

Summary: Castiel Novak is a college Professor, who values education beyond all else. That is, until a certain rockstar enrolls in his class. As a Dom at the BDSM club “A Hard Place”, Castiel thinks he’ll never find his perfect, permanent sub. When rockstar Dean Winchester needs to go back to college, he’s reluctant to do so. That is, until he meets his smoking hot Professor. Dean is torn between his Professor and a wing-masked Angel he meets at a BDSM club.

Excerpt: Towards the end of class, Castiel notices that some of the students have lost focus. A few girls have even attempted to take selfies with the rockstar. If there had been more time left in their session, Castiel might have said something. Instead, he decides to assign a prompt for the students to work on over the weekend, asking them what they hope to gain out of this class. To wrap things up, Castiel writes his name on the whiteboard behind his desk, along with his phone number. “All my contact information is on the syllabus, but I like my students to be able to reach me anytime, so feel free to write down this number as well. You may address me as Castiel, Mr. Novak, or any variation of the word ‘professor’.” Castiel uses actual air quotes, eliciting a laugh from the class. Nearly all the students are writing down the information, while Mr. Famous takes out his phone and snaps a picture of the whiteboard. Dean then leans over to the girl next to him, nudges her with his elbow and whispers, “Scored the teacher’s number on day one, huh?” He wiggles his eyebrows at her and she blushes, giggling to her peers. Castiel, however, is not so amused. He dismisses the class, but stops Dean when he reaches the front of the classroom. “Mr. Winchester. Please stay behind for a moment.” “Ugh, man, please stop calling me that…” Dean groans as he leans on Castiel’s desk. Castiel stands from where he was seated, hoping to loom over the man, but finds that he is in fact shorter than Dean. Regardless, Castiel isn’t going to let a height difference interfere with their dynamic. This is Castiel’s classroom and he expects his students to respect that. “Of course, Mr. Winchester. As soon as you stop referring to me as ‘dude’ or ‘man’.” Dean huffs out a laugh. “Ha! Good one, professor. That better?” “Lose the attitude and we’re golden.” “Dude, I don’t -” “Dean.” Castiel drops his voice slightly to grab Dean’s attention and Castiel is very interested to know what the man is thinking when he sees Dean’s jaw tighten. “You may be famous amongst your peers, but to me you are just another student. While in this classroom, you are here to learn. You will show respect to myself and your peers, or else face the consequences.” “Consequences, huh?” Dean smirks. “What kinda consequences we talkin’ here?” “The kind where you fail my class.” Castiel replies shortly. He’s not taking anymore of this man’s crap. Dean’s face falls slightly and Castiel is glad to have put his foot down. “Man, you’re no fun.” Dean whines as he pushes off the desk. “I’m here to teach, Mr. Winchester. Not to have fun.” “Suit yourself, handsome.” Dean punctuates his sentence with a wink, then turns to leave the classroom. Castiel sighs. This is going to be a long semester, he grimaces.

Castiel Novak enrolls in an art class to improve his artistic abilities. Little does he know, the gorgeous model will soon change how he truly views art.

Excerpt: Dean Winchester shifted somewhat uncomfortably on the stool he currently sat on. The cool air of the classroom slipped underneath his robe, causing him to shiver slightly at the sensation on his skin, which was entirely exposed aside from the robe. This was always his favorite part about modeling: the anticipation, the calm before the storm. As Castiel walked towards the classroom door behind his classmates, his stomach churned with apprehension. Today’s class marked the beginning of their section on realism, the artistic depiction of objects exactly as they are. Today the class would be working with a living subject. Castiel wasn’t exactly nervous about drawing a model, but this model was an exception. This model, to Castiel’s dismay, would be entirely and completely, naked.

asdjfkadsj it’s literally been 12 years and i;m still not over dean’s face when he realizes cas actually listened to him and is helping him break free in 4x22

The thing that people misunderstand about dark ships is that a lot of their interpretation is supposed to be metaphorical and poetic, not literal.

Yes at least one character in the ship may have done horrible things, they may have killed a lot of people, they may be a monster. That's the appeal. The romanticism comes from the fact that even if you were to become your worst possible version and turn away from good, that there would be at least one person, that despite all this, would want to be by your side and would love you unconditionally.

To have someone that would follow you to the ends of the earth and fall over the side with you.

[dmarie-92]

forget "i love you" from now on it's "i don’t care about the lives you save, i care about your life.”
