This Impossible Happiness by FriendofCarlotta

Summary
In one universe, Dean Winchester is pushing thirty. He’s just danced at his little brother’s wedding, he likes his job at the garage, and he goes on the occasional hunt with friends and family. He’s also desperately lonely for someone to share his life with. One day, he finds a mysterious package outside his door. It contains a news clipping about an urban legend that just might be real, and a book by Professor Castiel Novak, who happens to specialize in that same urban legend.
In another universe, Castiel Novak’s roadside motel is slowly dying, its business hollowed out by the interstate system. Dean Winchester, the man who asked him to run away together years ago, is only a painful regret these days. Until the day a mysterious letter Castiel doesn’t remember writing brings Dean back to his doorstep.
Out there in the multiverse, a man and an angel look for each other in all the wrong places. In the meantime, they might as well help a few other versions of themselves figure things out.

Summary
When Castiel Milton takes a job to be the new assistant keeper at Whaleback Lighthouse in Kittery, Maine, he expects to live out his new life in quiet isolation. What he gets instead is Dean Winchester: bitter, brash, and, like Castiel, harboring a dark secret. As the spark of attraction between them grows into a flame, the lighthouse walls start closing in—as do the ghosts of Dean and Castiel's checkered pasts.

Summary
Dean Winchester is a young Omega working three jobs to support himself and his abusive, alcoholic father. His dream is to help his aunt and uncle send his brilliant little brother to college.
One of the few bright spots for him is the job he works at a burger place called Mystery Spot, a restaurant owned by four Russian brothers that Sammy and Dean joke all the time is a front for a mafia. One day, however, when a man comes in and tries to kill Dean’s favorite Krushnic brother right in front of him, the Omega is forced to admit that maybe his running joke with Sammy isn’t too far off the mark.
As Dean is thrown into the world of the Krushnic mafia, he finds himself getting closer than ever to Castiel Krushnic himself. The Alpha seems to harbor a strange soft spot for Dean, one that grows more obvious and more confusing by the day. Suddenly, Dean has to wonder why the kindest person in his life is a mafia boss, and why said mafia boss is so dead-set on taking care of him.
It’ll take a very stubborn person to convince Dean he deserves that. It’s lucky Castiel Krushnic is a very stubborn man.

Summary
It’s the summer before Sam’s freshman year at Stanford, and Dean is tired of his dead-end life in Lawrence. His solution? Move to California to be closer to Sam.
At first glance, it’s the perfect plan: beaches, sunshine and a free place to stay, courtesy of old family friend Bobby Singer. It gets even better when Dean meets Cas, the hot tattooed guy who works at a video store on the local boardwalk.
But while Dean is busy falling in love, Sam encounters the darker side of summer: a girl named Ruby, who is connected to an awful secret that Cas has carried with him for the past five years.

Summary
1955: Man of Letters Castiel Novak is assigned to discover what killed the agents previously stationed at a remote chapterhouse in Lebanon, Kansas.

As the two of them settle into the underground bunker to conduct their investigation, Castiel finds himself growing closer and closer to Dean. But he soon realizes there is something else in the chapterhouse with them... and it's out for blood.

Summary
Cas is back from the Empty, and things are fine. Dean told Cas he loves him too, but also that he doesn’t want to be more than friends. (Which is a lie, but seems like the safer choice if he wants to keep Cas for the long haul this time.)
Since things are completely fine, it shouldn’t be an issue for Dean and Cas to investigate a mysterious death together. There’s just one problem: in the course of their investigation, they meet a woman who can tell truth from lies every single time. Will the woman’s apparently impeccable “bullshit detector” pick up on what Dean really wants? And will Dean and Cas be able to find the monster before it kills again?

Summary
Prompt: You broke up with your ex and the love of your life…200 years ago. Neither of you realized the other was immortal until you meet again while grocery shopping.
The Greek God of War, known to his friends (if he had any) more simply as Dean, reluctantly leaves behind the man of his dreams after a hot summer fling in Paris of 1820, and he's never stopped wishing things could have been different. Two hundred years later, he's a very different man—teaching Kindergarten and living like a regular mortal instead of building weapons and turning neighboring countries into bloody enemies, but one thing hasn't changed, that's how much he misses Castiel.
Oh well, at least he can eat his feelings—time for a grocery run!

Summary
Dean Winchester is living his best life, content and thriving as a private chef in the Hampton’s for a prestigious couple, Chuck and Naomi Novak, and their son Michael. Asked back for his fourth summer in a row, Dean’s more than ready to tackle his daily to-do lists to keep his kitchen stocked and his meals fresh. With a paycheck good enough to cover Sam’s tuition and room and board included, Dean thinks he’s got it made, another easy summer doing what he loves best, cooking.
Until the Novak’s youngest son Castiel shows up and turns everything upside down. Sure, Dean has no trouble navigating a kitchen, but when it comes to a carefree, handsome wild card and matters of the heart, he may lose all sense of direction.

Take Off Your Father's Jacket (It Never Fit You Anyway) by Wow_thisiswheremylifeis
Fandoms: Supernatural (TV 2005)
12 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
“It’s okay to be soft, Dean.” Cas murmured, like it was something easy, like Cas knew how to put everything down for a second and just yearn.
Dean didn’t know how to be soft. He’d never been one to cuddle, he’d rather die than use floral smelling lotion on his hands, and he never put sugar in his coffee.
His whole life he’d been rough around the edges and overly masculine to survive. He’d made up for his pretty face and long lashes by wearing a leather jacket that smelled like gunpowder and his father’s whiskey, with pockets that were too, too heavy with sins he’d commit again to keep his brother safe.
How would he even begin to allow himself to want–and reach out for what he wants?
Dean sighed. “I uh–It doesn’t come easy to me.”
Castiel shrugged like he already knew, like Dean wasn’t the one who still wore his Dad’s leather jacket, hoping it was enough, hoping he was enough.
Cas leaned into him, his back to Dean's front. “It’s easier than you think.”Or when Dean’s weird, bee-loving, friend Castiel winds his way into Dean’s bed (even though Dean is not gay), and Dean finds himself wanting things more than ever, wanting things he can’t have, wanting things that he’ll never earn.

Fifteen minutes later, Dean gets back in the car with empty hands and ice in his fucking eyebrows. “Get the map out,” he says through chattering teeth, sticking numb fingers under his arms.
Sam holds up the battered 1995 Rand MacNally they keep in the side pocket, turned to a page of uninterrupted green. “We’re going to die,” he announces.

Summary
When tragedy strikes late one Californian night, author C.J. Novak searches for a place to start his life anew. The long road filled with shadows and doubts take him to Nires Island, a small fishing town off the coast of Maine where the food is good and the neighbors are polite. But when nightmares of drowning threaten the fragile threads of Castiel’s sanity, the picturesque shores of Autumn Hollow don’t look quite so pretty any more. The dead walk, the vengeful haunt, the darkness stalks, and Dean Winchester may be more than just the shady mechanic who somehow manages to destroy Castiel’s defenses.

25¢ pocket guardian angels by hopelessheathen (ElspethMcGillicuddy)
Fandoms: Supernatural

Summary
Inspired by Jennilah's adorable artwork of a tiny!cas-filled gumball machine.
Dean walks into his local bank one day and notices that someone has filled the old gumball machine with these tiny, wiggling, sentient angels in individual plastic packaging. Deeply concerned about their air supply and the fact that they're trapped there in the sun, he starts pumping in quarters to rescue them. This is worse than leaving a dog in an overheating car.
Now he's got forty of the little guys running all over his house, and god knows how many others might be trapped and dying all over the city.

Summary
When Dean meets a devastatingly handsome man on Halloween, he kind of wishes that he’d gone with a sexy costume instead of the ridiculous outfit he chose, but the man seems to appreciate his sense of humour. He definitely wishes he hadn’t almost immediately licked the guy, but he doesn’t seem to have taken offence. Things may have gotten off to an awkward start, but Dean knows what he wants and it’s this guy.
Cas knows what he wants too and that’s not to be hurt again. He’s a man haunted by his past—hopefully only figuratively and not literally, but he’s starting to wonder. He likes the hot guy from the club, but he doesn’t do relationships, not since... well, he just doesn’t do relationships.
