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."

Castiel’s hope for freedom is threatened by a chance encounter with the Crowned Prince of Lawrence, who is trying to avoid an arranged marriage. A Cinderella/Ever After AU. Written for the Dean/Cas Big Bang 2015 with art by kamicom. Fic masterlist with links to art at http://museaway.livejournal.com/1013948.html Caution: This includes references to servitude, because it's based on a movie set in Renaissance-era France. There is on-page corporeal punishment in one scene and reference to past abuse. I think it's melancholy. It's not my usual style; I wrote it in what I hope reads a bit like a fairytale since it's based on one.

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. This story was originally published October 20, 2010 as part of the Dean/Cas Big Bang Challenge. Warnings: Bullying, homophobic language, some violence related to bullying.

Castiel loved humanity because it was God's will. He did not understand why until he met Dean Winchester. (A love story told in pieces.) A/N: Pieces is marked as complete, but I might add to it in the future. Each part is technically standalone, but they are loosely connected. This is set in the canon universe. Cover art is from a commission by Armellin

Sam and Dean have never met anyone as unique as Castiel. The kid wearing a trench coat in the middle of summer introduced himself the day they moved in, and all three of them became instant friends. Then Dean and Cas start spending a lot of time together and Sam finds himself excluded. He doesn't blame Dean at first; it must be hard being fifteen and never setting down roots long enough to make lasting friendships. But as time goes on and he sees less of Dean and Cas, Sam realizes it's even harder being eleven. Originally written on September 16, 2010 for the Secret Angels IV fic exchange, for recipient "writingpathways." I combined two requested prompts -- AU where there is no supernatural and Dean/Cas have been best friends forever, and Sam POV of the evolution of Dean and Castiel's relationship.

After his humanity is restored, Dean wakes up in bed with Castiel, a wedding ring, and no memory of the past twelve years. 65.4K. R. Written for the Dean/Cas Big Bang 2014 with art by nonexistenz. This version includes the epilogue "Bluebird" and short timestamps (which I'll continue to add as they're written).

Cas showed up at Dean’s apartment six minutes before midnight with a six-pack of Ad Astra under his arm and Interstellar on blu-ray. A/N: Based on art by mycolour for the Supernatural Reverse Bang (link in profile). This technically contains a spoiler for Interstellar. 4.5k
