Dean is popular. He has friends. A rich family and full ride to any college he wishes to attend. People walk on eggshells around him, obeying his every command. Girls throw themselves at him, indifferent to the lack of passion he so often returns, because when he does take an interest in you, time stops and the world no longer spins.
Castiel is quiet. He keeps to himself. The polar opposite of Dean Winchester; golden boy of Stanford University, second only to his younger brother, Sam, and even that is debatable. Castiel notices everything, tending to stay away from people, but always polite and kind to everyone he talks to or passes. Not too helpful of clingy, and not rude, he's simply passing through the people around him, and music is the only the that truly makes him feel alive. It's what connects him to everyone else.
People don't change. Everything stays the same, until it doesn't.

Sam Winchester is on a dating website and finds his ideal match: smart, loves reading, very neat, heathy eater. Castiel Novak. The perfect guy. Or so Sam thought. Cas happens to live with his older brother, Gabriel. They meet for the first time when Sam is picking Castiel up for their second date, but guess who answers the door. From the start they can't stand each other. In Gabes eyes, Sam's too uptight, too heathy, too organized, and by far TOO much of a control freak. Sam's point of view, Gabriels a trouble maker, too loud, too unhealthy, and never wanting a set of rules or order. But I guess what they say is true, opposites attract. Soon, a square of love forms and it's right under everyone of their noses; yet they're all oblivious to it. Dean, Castiel, Sam, and Gabriel all attempt at juggling two relationships, all with each other, mostly unknown. But all is set up to explode in their faces.Complete

Things work out just fine until an awry incident causes Dean and Cas to go missing after school one day. Soon after, a life-threatening trade may just cause Winter her life, but maybe it's worth it.

The story is under major construction, so some parts are going to be a little jagged until i can go back and edit them. It's non-slash, but more on the fluffy side. Possible triggers: cutting, alcoholism, overdose. If any of these things might affect you, please proceed with caution. Hope you enjoy.Complete

Please do not copy or post to another site or app. Castiel and the other angels (and Chuck) are human, but most (or all) of the demons and supernatural creatures are the same. John Winchester is more physically abusive than what has been canonically confirmed. I've never written Supernatural before, so please have mercy.

Destiel (Dean+Castiel) is the main ship, but this story mainly focuses on Dean. Approximately 71,104 words! Enjoy!Complete
anonymity was never an option
A college Destiel AU fic. Castiel Novak is 20 years old, and on the verge of a mental break down just about every damn day of his life. He went to college to live up to his mother's expectations, but he's starting to rethink whether or not he actually cares about that. Maybe it was the new found independence of living his own life? Or maybe it was the mysterious chat from a stranger that set him on the edge of rebellion. He only accepted the chat because he had no friends in the real world to begin with... maybe he could use on online friend. --------- Dean Winchester never knew how much he needed someone to care for. With his little brother Sammy away at a different college and living with his girlfriend, Dean was all alone, where he previously had never had a moment to himself. Dean started a chat with a stranger to find himself a new friend. He quickly realized how much he actually enjoyed the anonymous personality on the other side of the screen. And through his 22 years, he had never fallen for someone as much as he did the kid from the party. Little did he know, they were the same person. - started publishing: september 16th, 2018 ended publishing: february 10th, 2019 I hope to update daily, I pre-wrote most of this story before the publication date, so if I'm not updating enough, let me know :)Complete
