Nobody ever really liked Castiel. Hell, castiel didn't even like castiel. That was until he showed up (highschool AU - they're juniors in highschool. Was originally titled Maybe there's Hope Afterall)

Sam, Dean, and Castiel decide to celebrate New Year's Eve by drinking and counting down to midnight. But, as the night goes on, they find that everything becomes a blur, until they wake up with no memory of what happened. All they know is, Dean and Castiel woke up together. And it seems that they were… together, the night before. They decided not to tell Sam, not until they collected more details about the night. But, as they continue gathering intel, they soon find that Dean and his angel aren't the only ones with a secret.

Castiel knew Dean would do anything for his club, the club was like his family. He never asked about the things Dean got up to as he thought he would be better off not knowing. However the more Dean tells him, the more aspects of Castiel's old, secret life begin to prop up out of the blue uninvited.

Dean Winchester is a famous male model, probably one of the richest men in the state. When an amateur applies for a job as a security guard at the Winchester Manor, he never expected to get the job... And Dean never expected to find a living being as hot and alluring as Castiel Novak, his new personal bodyguard...

What begins as a transforming love between Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak in the summer of 1965 quickly derails into something far more tumultuous when Dean is drafted in the Vietnam War. Though the two both voice their relationship is one where saying goodbye is never a real truth, their story becomes fraught with the tragedy of circumstance. In an era where homosexuality was especially vulnerable, Twist and Shout is the story of the love transcending time, returning over and over in its many forms, as faithful as the sea. REMINDER_ Credit goes to the authors. Also, yes. THIS Is the ORIGINAL Twist and shout story .

[Destiel] "I guess you make me forget about it all, Cass." "That was the plan." * Master Sergeant Dean Winchester had just gotten back from Iraq when the Marine Corps was called to let the Army take over the war after thousands of their comrades were either killed or captured. Life after such an experience, Dean wasn't the same as far as his mind goes. He's still having nightmares about seeing his best friend die on the battlefield; although one man can change all of it. * Castiel Novak is mainly just a simple guy. He's hardworking and lonely for the most part. It may have been by chance that Dean and Castiel met but their friendship unfolds to more than just guy hugs and eye-sex. Castiel has a secret that he's willing to do anything to keep Dean away from. Curiosity will ruin all of it. Will Dean agree to stay with his lover after having found out? Is he willing to give up his happiness and go back to the nightmares of Iraq? {boy x boy - graphic sex scenes - strong language}

In a city where struggling artists crash at bartender's flats, and aspiring writers find inspiration from chapped lips and whiskey, something odd is lurking in the streetlamp shadows. Paint leaves no space untouched in Castiel's studio flat, his laptop keys especially tainted with specks of blues and reds. It's the same in Dean's apartment flat, though instead of paint it's liquor and instead of a laptop it's the overflowing recycling bin filled with glass bottles. They each struggle in their own ways. Castiel with his career, Dean with his self-esteem. While they keep things hidden deep down and out of view from public eye, the public itself is in danger. A dark creature is at bay, stealing motivation and aspirations, forcing innocents into the unthinkable. Dean and Castiel must fight this dark creature in the future, but will their own issues hold them back from saving the city? Warning: Contains alcohol consumption and depression. Also minor sexual references (spoiler: basically they have a steamy make out sesh) [Destiel AU - Artist/Writer! Cas and Bartender/Alcoholic!

Thank you so much to @PikaGirl260 for the cover! It's amazing xxx ***WARNING: There is a lot of horrible situations in this story. This involves séxual harassment, víolence, murder, sélf harm and much more. Please DO NOT read if this effects you. The last thing i want is to trigger someone!!. Thank you*** When two people who have both had such terrible childhoods and horrific, violent adulthood meet, there are only a number of things that are bound to happen, or perhaps happen all at once. 1. They end up killing each other. 2. They end up working together to catch "the good guys". 3. They try to outshine one another. 4. They fall in love. There is no telling which one it will be.

Dean tries to get Cas to loose his virginity at yet another strip club. Although he fails to loose it at the strip club that doesn't mean Cas stays a virgin for much longer. Things seemed okay, well- great at the time. But there are a few things that make Cas and Dean go through hell. Lets just say past exes, one night stands, angels, the works.
