Castiel never liked people, and although he has nothing against his college room mate Dean personally, he finds that Dean is no exception. But Dean seems to like Cas like no one ever has before, and Cas is starting to think maybe people aren't all bad.

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!

Castiel grew up in Heaven, watching the Earth from above with his (rather overprotective) big brother, Gabriel. His dream was to go there himself one day. And his wish very soon comes true, when his father allows him to go. He meets a young human boy named Dean. He grows quite fond of this boy, and they become fast friends. One day, he sneaks out of Heaven using the one thing that can take him from Heaven to Earth and back again. Tragically, he loses it on Earth, and is stuck there with Dean. So he grows up on Earth with his best friend, while his family tries to find him. But he soon learns that Dean is more than his best friend, and he also learns that Dean feels the same way toward this angel who lost his wings.

25 year old Castiel Novak owns and works at the local café in town. He knows the small Kansas town like the back of his hand; it's his home. He knows the the regulars by name, what they drink, and the amount they tip. But, when a new costumer from out of town discovers his small, self-owned, Café, he realizes he didn't know everything as well as he thought he did. And, that includes his own sexuality as well as the new guy in town.

What do you do if you're forced to go to college and share a dorm with someone? Doesn't sound bad? Well, try hiding wings on top of it!

THIS IS NOT MY BOOK!!! I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS BOOK!!!! The original book Twist and Shout by the author from achiveofourown (Gabriel (AO3)) ALL THE CREDITS GOES TO GABRIEL AND STANDBYME!!

Angels are dicks, at least, that's what Dean Winchester thinks. He stands by his rules, and his rules only that not even his younger brother Sam Winchester, can't interfere. And then, Dean went to hell. Literally. And once he saw the blue-eyed, soft-spoken Angel of The Lord, Castiel, he knew that he brought big trouble. And now that the angel is tagging along, will Dean finally abide a rule he swore he'd never break?

They looked into each other's eyes and knew. But the true question was whether or not this was right. Perhaps it was so very wrong. But they didn't care. All they cared about was each other. Includes Sabriel

"Dad," Claire said. "how did you and Papa meet?" I smile sadly as I look into my empty shoot glass, remembering everything that had happened. "Let me tell you our story." --------------------------- This is based off of a YouTube video which I thought was very beautiful and a great storyline. I will link the video in the last chapter to give them full credit. (I also tweaked the story a bit and added more Sam and Charlie in it) Other than that, hope you enjoy! Edit: I did write this when I was 11 turning 12, so excuse any grammatical errors or punctuation mistakes. I was a 6th grader when I started this.

A small story about cute little Castiel and Dean. :3
