Overanalyze - Destiel by penguin_overlord

Lots of overdoing. Castiel Novak was a 22 years old bass guitarist in a band called "Kings Of Purgatory" with his best friends Dean, Gabe and Benny. The band was gaining popularity and the guys were getting more and more famous everyday; but there was a problem. Cas had been crushing on his fellow band mate for 4 years now. It wasn't THAT bad at first. Yeah, Dean didn't probably didn't share his feelings but he was still there, right next to him, every day; which was more than enough for Cas. Until he, like the flick of a switch, wasn't. Now Cas was overanalyzing, and overthinking; why was Dean being so distant to him all of a sudden? // this is a destiel au (alternative universe) with lots of sabriel on the side. there are no monsters, no demons, no angels, and especially no wendigos *audible wink* in this fanfiction. there are no deaths, no self harm, no triggers I know of, mild swearing, and no smut (except it's hinted). if there is anything that bothers you with this fic, please message me. also if you spot any mistakes or triggers, again, message me. if you would like to leave constructive criticism, please do because that will be very... constructive. I don't know where the original photo from the cover is from, but if it's your edit then tell me and I will credit you or take it down (it's up to you). this story takes place in a fictional town called "Courtney" in California. HUGE thanks to @fcktheimagery who listened to me blab about this story for hours and helped me come up with awesome stuff, and proved to me that Bela isn't blond. I don't think I could've been as proud of this as I am if it wasn't for her. (go follow her) [original title was overanalyze, overpack, overreact - destiel; but it was too long. now the title only remains like that on the cover]

quit-reset-try again {destiel} by xawannabex

"have you tried turning it off and on again?" Cas and Dean. Dean and Cas. You would never see one without the other. The Winchester boys had lived next door to Novaks for as long as anyone in the sleepy little town could remember. Cas and Dean were always best friends, joined at the hip was an understatement. It wasn't until they got into high school, they finally acted upon their feelings of intense love for each other. Inseparable, utterly, stupidly and madly in love. They were both shattered, but their broken edges fit together perfectly. Both suffering from abusive households, both with a brother that they'd die for. Meant for each other. Until that fateful day, when Cas woke up on their 2 and 1/2 year anniversary, after the best night of his life, and found Dean gone, no note, and his place on the bed cold. Our story takes place 6 years later, when the Winchesters are back in town for college, and the Novaks never left. It's time for this sleepy town to be reawakened. Dean and Cas are 23, Sam is 22, Gabe is 24 Deans also more like his early season self, y'know when he was still vaguely in touch with his emotions (PSA: Trigger warnings will be at the top of each chapter if needed, stay safe my silver nuggets. Please. Nothing graphic, just description from what my personal experience with all of it has been. Also, time is a weird thing in this book, it doesn't quite make sense. The later chapters are better, but isn't that the thing with all first fics?) all characters right to CW

Destiel prison memory loss and Sabriel rehab by Supernatural1806

This story is about Cas losing his memory after getting almost killed and Dean being accused of it. Dean walked into the scene. He went to Cas. He was still awake at the time but he blacked out slowly after. The cops came in a little after. They accused him of doing it. He went to jail for 3 years. Cas doesn't remember anything. He doesn't know who Dean is. Gabriel didn't want him to know anything. Because they think Dean did it and that he just tricked Cas because he is gay. The story goes in after he has been in jail. Its also Sabriel in the story. It says when it starts if you dont wanna read it or thats what you want to read:) Hope you guys like it💗

𝐒𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐌𝐘 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐘 by angelic-remains

It was normal night at the Winchester home; Dean and Sam trying to fall asleep while their parents were watching tv in the living room. But something happened. Something the two kids feared the most. So Dean took Sam and ran, fearing for both their lives. They moved in with their uncle and grandma, soon meeting the Novak boys. Sure, they had troubles of their own, but those two truly saved the Winchesters. It was as if they had their own personal angels. //(contains destiel and sabriel in later-ish chapters) // //(Michifer is included, but not really focused on as much.// Started: April 27, 2020, I believe.

At the end of yet another successful hunt, Sam and Dean Winchester are gifted a very unexpected call for help from their beloved angel, Castiel. The job? Protecting a sketchy, wanted, highly trained, hunter on the run for their life. His instruction? "Keep them safe, and alive. No matter what the cost." Soon enough, the boys begin to unravel all the secrets, and lies. And everyone is forced to face the truth. After the acceptance settles in, a romance flourishes. But what arises after is a much larger truth. The WHOLE truth. If the boys are going to protect their new friend, and keep their word to Castiel...

Missing You by thatwriterlady

After rescuing his vessel's daughter Castiel sets out on a life of his own feeling like a failure now that he is human again. He makes his way to Chicago, discards his phone, his last tie to the Winchesters, and takes on a job as a janitor in a school, but no matter how far he runs away from Kansas, he can't escape his feelings for Dean. He thinks Dean doesn't want him after their last altercation and it's not until he finds an email from Dean in his inbox that he is reminded of everything he left behind, and the only place that was ever really home to him. With some help from Charlie, Dean is able to track Cas down, but will he have the guts to finally open up about how he really feels? Read and find out. Comment if you like it. It was suppose to be a one shot but it's getting too long. There is some smut later down the line, but it was fun to write. I'll keep adding on to it until it's done.

Stay Awake With Me [Destiel, College!AU] by ShadowLordCC

Castiel has been dreaming a lot lately. Dreaming about Dean Winchester. A man he doesn't really know and one he's eager to be close to. SUPERNATURAL FAN FICTION! I do not own any of these characters, just the story :P

Worlds Collide by quietbrooke

Caitlin is just an ordinary girl from our dimension, but one day her life is flipped upside down. She finds herself with the Winchesters and they have no idea how or why she is there. She soon gets swept up in an evil plot that threatens her life and the safety of the world. The whole thing leaves her with one important question: Why me? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is my first time publishing a fic on this site, so bear with me as I try to figure it out. This is also my first ever fanfic and I should warn you that it currently sits around 82k words. There will be spoilers up through the end of season 11. This story is also on FF.net under the same title.

The Angels Savior (Destiel TeacherxStudent) by Devil_Mouth_2023

Cover art by me IG: @dancing.with.the.devil.2023 Teacher!Dean Student!Cas highschool au Dean Winchester always wanted to teach high school english. Every since he was little he wrote stories about monsters and demons and angels to escape from the beatings of his drunk father, John. After he lands a job at his little brother Sams high school, he meets the one and only Castiel Novak. He can't help but notice his magnificent ocean blue eyes, and the way he tilts his head when he's confused about something, or his raven black sex hair. Dean couldn't help but feel an ache in his chest every time he sees him, but he had no clue why. Castiel Novak only had two years of school left before he could finally escape the hell that is Sioux Falls High School. Every since he moved here he's had a hard time making friends. After all, being gay wasn't a good thing to be at his school. He would constantly get mentally and emotionally abused by his classmates. Two more years, he kept telling himself, and then he would graduate and get a degree in fine arts. When the new English teacher, Mr. Winchester, shows up Castiel immediately takes interest. Maybe, it was his gorgeous Emerald green eyes, or his ashy blonde hair that was always spiked up perfectly. Whatever it was, Castiel knew he would like this new teacher. His Savior. *** WARNING ⚠️: This story contains little violence, mild language, and boyxboy love, meaning two males kissing and holding hands, including gay sex! If you are uncomfortable with any of these I suggest not reading so as you can remain mentally healthy (or if you're uncomfortable with gay people to just, not be uncomfortable I guess)!
