In general, love/truth spells are included in this tag. And I have yet more.

Set S10 AU.  Gossiping with Rowena about the UST he has to put up with, Sam suggests they put a truth spell on Dean and Cas so the two will actually start talking about the things they feel.  It still takes a bit of coaching from Sam to put them on the right track and smooth over misunderstandings.

Word Count: 24k                              No Sex  

A Witch Made Them Do It – TobytheWise   Ao3

Nonspecific timeframe.  When he gets doused in a truth spell, Dean figures its better to keep busy by having sex with Cas than to actually let the truth spill out of him.

Castiel gets turned into a cat while killing a witch, and is brought back to the bunker by an unsuspecting Sam and Dean. He tries to get a message across to them, tell them that he isn't actually a cat, but maybe its not so bad... especially with how open Dean is now that he thinks Castiel is just an animal who can't understand his words.

Artist: SoloArcana

Rating: Teen

Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester. Past Dean Winchester/Lisa Braeden

Length: 20783

Warnings: N/A

Tags: Alternative Universe - Tattoo Parlor, Creature AU, Tattoo artist Dean Winchester, Falling in Love, Dean Winchester has self-worth issues, Found Family, Getting Together, Past Trauma, Healing.

Summary: Dean Winchester liked to think that he had an awesome life. He ran a tattoo parlor with his friends, who were the best friends you could ask for, he had his own apartment, he was close with his brother. None of that changed how monotonous it was. None of that stopped his parent's biting words about an 'appropriate career' from hurting. None of that stopped the loneliness that had been haunting him since his last relationship crumbled. And then a beautiful man walked into his store looking for a tattoo to cover the scars on his back, and everything started to change.

Body and Soul by Briston | art by Solstheimart

21,3k; Mature; Castiel/Dean Winchester

After one final confrontation, Cas walks out the door leaving Dean feeling angry, rejected, and determined that he didn’t need the angel around anyway.

When a visit to clear out Rowena’s old apartment leaves Dean under a spell that he can’t resist, he finds himself physically compelled to act on the things he secretly wants. The only cure? Admitting the truth.

Desperate to avoid exactly that, Dean finds himself racing after Cas anyway. Forced towards a reconciliation that he swears he doesn’t want, with Cas who is tired of being treated badly, Dean learns that even with the help of magic he might still lose everything.

You are my Sunshine by Kestrel | art by ThePlaidFox

23,7k; General Audiences; Benny Lafitte/Gadreel

“Run, sister,” Gadreel said slowly. Hannah stumbled back, turned and ran.

The cell exploded behind her and she leaned against a wall, arms curled protectively over her head. Before the dust had settled, Castiel was stepping out of his cell, over the rubble and into Gadreel’s.

“Do you believe him now?” Castiel asked, voice grim.

Hannah had slunk back, expecting to see Gadreel’s body in a broken heap on the ground. The cell was empty, save stone debris, twisted metal and dust. “Where-Where is he?”

Castiel shook his head. “He’s gone.”

And somewhere in the atmosphere between Heaven and Earth, Gadreel fell for the second time. He landed in Louisiana, late at night, shortly before Benny Lafitte finished his shift at the gumbo shack.

Benny was not expecting to fish a wounded, terrified angel out of a dumpster shortly before receiving the news that Dean Winchester was killed by another angel. Gadreel may be traumatized, but somehow he finds beauty in the chaotic human world. He finds joy in kittens and flowers and a baby bird. Benny always did have a problem with wearing his heart on his sleeve and falling for those he shouldn’t.

Words We Are Not Saying by DWImpala67 | art by MidnightSilver

18,1k; Explicit; Sam Winchester/Dean Winchester

Set after 9x13 The Purge. Sam was too angry to deal with the fallout of Dean’s actions. Dean was too self righteous to admit his mistakes. The downside of it - Sam left and Dean finds solace in the bottles of whisky, and takes up as many hunting jobs as he can. After his brother left, it has become his mission to make this world a safe place for Sam to live in. Even if it means the end of Sam and Dean and their brotherly (or more than brotherly) bond. This is the story of love and loss with twists and spells. This is the story of Winchesters coping through the consequences of their actions.

11,3k; Teen and Up Audiences; Eileen Leahy/Sam Winchester

Even normal life tends to get a little weird when drugs get involved.  When you throw in three missing persons, a logging tycoon, Johnny Cash, and Sam’s so-called love life on top of them, things get even weirder.

I’m The Opposite of Amnesia by Why_Do_You_Want_To_Know | art by Solstheimart

26,6k; Teen and Up Audiences; Castiel/Dean Winchester

Dean wakes up in a motel room one morning with a hunt he doesn’t remember finishing, a ring he doesn’t recognize, and the feeling that something is wrong.

When he get’s back to the bunker, he finds that he seems to have forgotten Castiel, an angel who he is apparently supposed to care about. To make things weirder, he keeps seeing a strange man in his dreams, and feeling like he isn’t alone, even when he knows he is.

The others are desperate to get their friend back, but Dean is more worried about his - very specific - missing memories, and why he can’t seem to part with the ring that no one else knows anything about.

A place of comfort by Lyric  | art by envydean

18,6k; Mature; Benny Lafitte/Gadreel

Benny survived his second trip to Purgatory to save Sam and went back to his great-granddaughter to explain everything and worked at her diner since then. It long since turned into a meeting point for hunters and monsters where they can enjoy a beer and a game of pool together peacefully. Benny and his old friend, Sigrun, a witch, keep the peace in the diner.

On one of their occasional visits, Sam and Dean bring along a friend of theirs, Gadreel, an angel. Benny and Gadreel immediately connect.

A few weeks forward and Gadreel needs a place to hide and heal up, and the diner is closest, so Gadreel stays there and suddenly, the two can spend a lot of time together. Maybe they’ll even find comfort and safety together?

Dare to Defy (The Laws of Gravity), created for the @acespnminibang

Author: Why_Do_You_Want_To_Know || Artist: Nickelkeep

Cas and Dean have been best friends since they first met, when Cas turned up at the circus with a dream to join them. Dean also just so happened to have had a crush on the other boy for just as long, not that he'd ever admit it.

He's happy with how things are, performing with Baby and watching Cas fly through the big top. Sometimes he thinks about how amazing a future with Cas could be, but it really isn't worth risking everything they have, not when Cas doesn't even like him back.

Then Cas starts acting weird. It's just small things at first, but before Dean knows it his best friend is hardly ever around, never smiling, and worst of all, taking unnecessary risks for no apparent reason.

Dean knows he needs to talk to Cas, but what can he do when he refuses to tell Dean what's wrong?

Title: Husbands and Headlines Author: Why_do_you_want_to_know ( @an-ace-phoenix ) Artist: @love-nakamura Rating: Teen and up  Pairings: Dean/Cas Words: 22,000 Summary: 

Castiel thought his life was perfect. Maybe his husband was away for months at a time - but that was the life of an actor - and it wasn’t like Castiel wasn’t busy as well. They found time for each other. And Castiel knew that they always loved each other.

But then Dean started acting weird.

He took on more and more jobs, spending more time away than at home, and taking the bare minimum in terms of breaks. So when Castiel got a chance to work on the same film set, designing the costumes and spending the next couple of months in Montana with Dean, he jumped at the chance.

When Dean just acted even weirder, and Dean’s co-star Bela seemed to spend more time with Dean than Cas did, he started to see his perfect life crumbling around him.

Is anything really what it seems?

Wingfic - Part 3

Molting Wings - Cassiel_Angel_of_the_Lord, TheChosenPyro   Ao3

Set S9.  Cas’ stolen grace is running out, Dean offers his soul to recharge, and when insists that they keep doing it until they fix Cas properly, the angel mentions that expanding their profound bond to a mating bond would keep him continually charged up. (Deleted @ March 22 Wayback machine link)

Damaged Wings and Other Things – kradarua   Ao3

Set S11.   With Cas’ grace running low after evicting Lucifer, he is unable to keep his wings hidden all the time.  He’s also smarting over the idea that he is only useful to the Winchesters as a tool.  Somehow Dean is going to have to make him see reason.

Heal Thy Wings – pherryt   Ao3

Set S12.  Dean wants to know more about the heavenly rule against angels having relations with humans and in the process spills exactly why he is so interested in the answer.  Despite not wanting to rush anything, they go to bed to cuddle.  When Cas’ wings make an appearance and Dean seems to be able to heal them with his touch it may have been a good thing that Cas has decided not to tow the party line anymore.

Nonspecific timeframe.  Why Sam is obsessed with books about angels and their wings, Dean doesn’t know.  Cas is right there after all, wings a little ragged these days but still beautiful.  Cas has an interesting reaction when Sam stumbles across a particular book that talks about angel’s mates however.

Posting Date: October 12, 2021

Summary: Dean Winchester liked to think that he had an awesome life. He ran a tattoo parlour with his friends, who were the best friends you could ask for, he had his own apartment, he was close with his brother. None of that changed how monotonous it was. None of that stopped his parent's biting words about an 'appropriate career' from hurting. None of that stopped the loneliness that had been haunting him since his last relationship crumbled. And then a beautiful man walked into his store looking for a tattoo to cover the scars on his back, and everything started to change.

Excerpt: Dean pulled his coat tighter around him as he walked down the sidewalk. It wasn't a particularly cold day, all in all, the sun was still retaining some of its summer heat, but the wind was freezing and the street his store was on seemed to be caught in some kind of wind tunnel, battering him with every step and turning his pointy ears red. It was a Monday, which was always a quiet day at the store, so he had taken a quick detour on his way in to buy some donuts for everyone to eat. It was one of the perks of opening a store with his best friends, flexible hours so long as no one missed any appointments, and food was encouraged as long as it didn't go into their stations—things had to stay sterilized after all. Inked Dreams was the name of their store. They specialized in tattoos, though they did piercings as well on every day Charlie was in—which was every day except Saturdays—and were always interested in expanding the business should the stars align to make it happen. Right now though, they were happy with what they had. It wasn't the largest shop in the city, but they were well known, and each of their artists had a reputation.  "Finally!" Charlie cheered when Dean pulled the door open and slipped inside, careful to close the door behind him so the wind wouldn't catch it and make it slam. The overenthusiastic kitsune that Dean counted as one of his best friends — for some reason — instantly dove for the box in Dean's hands, not even bothering to say a proper hello to him before peering for a moment to decide which one she wanted. She ended up pulling out the chocolate one which Dean had bought knowing she would be the one to eat it. "Dean has donuts!" Their other friends quickly appeared from the back of the store, grins on their faces as they grabbed the donuts Dean had expected from the moment he bought them. Benny picked the jelly-filled one, Jo grabbed the powdered one, Garth grabbed the weird bacon one which certain people swore by, but not even Dean — Mr. Bacon — dared to try. Claire was the last to reach him, grabbing her glazed donut with a happy hum which made her blonde wings ripple in what Dean now recognized as joy. Their resident teenage angel was working as their receptionist for now, but as soon as she gets her licence she will join their store as Dean's intern.  Dean was left with the custard-filled donut, which he happily grabbed before ditching the box in the trash bin just inside the door, and leaning back against the wall. He would head to his station to set up for the morning once he was done eating.
