Cas is lazy about maintaining his car. As long as it runs, he ignores all of its problems, but the check oil light is coming on and the car is making weird noises, so he bites the bullet and heads to the auto shop by his house. The mechanic that works on his car is downright gorgeous, but Cas is in a bad mood and insults the man when he tries to politely tell him about other problems he found. Can Cas fix this?

Every single day, Dean Winchester waits for the man in the trench coat to show up for his painfully complicated coffee at exactly three-forty-five. And every single day, he does. Until one day he doesn't. It's a regular Thursday afternoon when Castiel Novak seemingly drops off the face of the earth. Dean shouldn't look back, yet he finds himself intrigued by the quirky, blue eyed man and his sudden disappearance --- I don't own the characters, or Starbucks (obviously). The title and chapter names are also based off of The Fall by Imagine Dragons, and it isn't related to any of my other fics

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.

Despite Zeke’s threats, Dean doesn't tell Cas to leave the bunker. He revels in their burgeoning relationship, content to end his day with Cas asleep on his shoulder, even if they'll always sleep in separate rooms. Cas is it for him. But when Cas begins to experience physical urges he can't control, he asks Dean for a hand—metaphorically, and later, literally. Canon divergent after 9.03 "I'm No Angel."

There's no time for nerves, no time for second guessing. There's only right now, and right now he has Cas. (Or, in which Dean and Cas get over themselves and take a roadtrip before Cas's grace runs out. Not S10 canon compliant.)

Dean Winchester has been going to Souix Falls High School ever since moving to his sort-of-uncle Bobby's place in his sophomore year with his brother Sam. He doesn't expect his senior year to be that enjoyable, but then he meets Castiel Novak, new senior and mute since he was seven. Dean has never fallen for someone harder, and Castiel doesn't seem to want anything to do with Dean. Cas asks Dean to stay away from him, but Dean just can't help himself...

At eleven years old, Dean Winchester thinks he and Castiel will be best friends forever. One day, however, when Castiel shatters their friendship in one easy swoop, Dean finds himself fearing nothing will ever be the same between them again. Now seven years later, their paths cross again and together they find themselves figuring out who they truly are and who they were meant to be.

It's 1995, and Castiel's high school years are destined to be difficult: home-schooled until eighth grade, he is awkward, shy, and socially inept. The weird kid with the funny name would rather isolate himself and draw in his sketchbook than deal with the constant bullying he faces every day. Things only get worse in his junior year when he excels in home economics class, leading the captain of the baseball team, Alastair, to start taunting him for being gay. Then new student Dean Winchester arrives at Flour Bluff High School, sharing many of Castiel's classes. Castiel has seen his type before -- handsome, athletic, arrogant, and sure to be the most popular kid in school. But Castiel eventually learns that he and Dean have more in common than he thought, and they form an unlikely friendship.
