Bound by Oath, Freed by Fire | Destiel by Destiel_067

In a fractured America where Heaven and Hell wage silent wars through human governments, the only hope for peace lies in an unthinkable alliance: the binding of a hunter and an angel by law. Dean Winchester, hardened soldier of the supernatural front lines, finds himself forced into a government-sanctioned marriage with Castiel, a celestial diplomat whose stoic silence hides a war-torn soul. What begins as a cold political arrangement, papers signed, rings exchanged, a façade to keep rival factions at bay, slowly unravels into something neither man anticipated. Secrets burn through the cracks of duty: Dean's stubborn heart that refuses to be tamed, and Castiel's quiet devotion that refuses to fade. Together, they must navigate bureaucrats, betrayals, and the sharp edge of their own vulnerabilities. But when enemies exploit the cracks in their alliance, Dean and Castiel must decide remain pawns in a war they never chose or turn their arranged vows into a bond strong enough to save them both.

When the angels fell, Castiel lost more than his wings, he lost his purpose, his power, and the only home he'd ever known. Now stranded in a fragile human body, all he has left is a single, aching thought: find Sam Winchester. But Sam doesn't want to be found. Alone in the bunker after Dean leaves to build a life with Lisa, Sam is drowning in silence, guilt, and memories that cut too deep, especially the ones with Castiel's name written on them. Their reunion is not the salvation either imagined. Instead, it's raw, fractured, and full of old wounds that refuse to close. And when a ghost from Sam's past resurfaces, he doesn't return to heal, he comes to tear open scars both men thought they'd buried. In the aftermath of heaven's collapse, Sam and Castiel must decide whether broken people can still build something worth saving... or whether some loves are destined to burn with the ashes of grace.

After six months of fruitless searching , Castiel is clearing out a nest of vampires when he feels the touch of a soul he knows well. The Dean he finds there is battered , barely intact , but Castiel isn't about to let him go. Not without a fight. They're far from home and Sam isn't picking up the phone , but Castiel will do whatever it takes to put Dean Winchester back together , piece by piece.

Sam has been struggling with depression since Stanford. Well, not really struggling. Excelling. He's been excelling at depression since Stanford, and it's only gotten worse since he started hunting again. Unfortunately, the relapses from John's death and Dean's trip to Hell were bad, but they had nothing on the downward spiral triggered by Sam starting the Apocalypse. But Sam has never come clean before, and he isn't about to start. He's self-medicating, he's suppressing, and he's handling things in the Trademark Winchester Way. He can do this. He can totally do this. Spoiler: No, he can't. WARNING: Mentioned suicide attempts, suicidal ideation, and depression.

Dean and Cas never admitted their feelings for each other although it's pretty obvious that there's something going on between them. After a while Sam's had enough from watching them undressing each other with their eyes. He soon calls Charlie for help and together they make a plan on how Dean and Cas finally tell each other what they're feeling. But what seems like a great idea turns out to be a big mistake..

You Soar & You Drown (Destiel AU) by justanotherfang1rl

Castiel is an expert at many things, but falling in love...isn't one of them. And when new threats enter his already tangled-up world, all he can do to try to save the people he loves is make one of the hardest decisions of his life.

It started with demon blood. Things have only gone downhill from there. Now Sam is admitted into a drug abuse treatment center where he will have to navigate the demons of his past and the trauma that ensues from being forcibly admitted. Meanwhile Dean, Bobby, and Cas have their own battles to fight being on the outside of Sam's recovery. TW: Mentions of drug use/abuse, implied suicidal thoughts, references to suicide, mental breakdown, forcible hospitalization, forcible treatment center admission Please take care before, during, and after reading!

Cas, Dean, and Sam have been hunting together and splitting off to take smaller jobs. The story starts with the three of them on three separate hunts. Cas is human and wounded. He shows up at Dean's motel in need of help. What proceeds is the two of them meeting up with Sam and going on an involved hunt, over the course of which Dean and Cas slowly figure out their feelings for each other. Lots of awkwardness (in a good way), some mild angst, comfort, and eventually fluff and smut.

Sam is in an accident that renders him unconscious in the psych ward for a few days. Dean visits him but someone else has caught his attention: a quiet boy with a tragic past. Dean ultimately befriends this strange boy with hopes of getting him to speak and live easier. He is definitely not expecting the events that unfold. Au. No supernatural beings of any sort. Lots of bees Side note: Gabriel and Cas are NOT related in this
