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.

You're an Asshole (but a cute one) [Destiel AU] by PentagramsAndPlaid

Something about that cocky grin and mischievous smirk made Cas glare in fury. Dean had no sense of respect whatsoever, he tries to flirt himself out of trouble (though it has worked a few times on Cas, he must admit), and he's a complete and utter asshole... but he's a cute asshole, so who is he to say no to those taunting green eyes? • this is book one of two [ Destiel AU, ideas from tumblr ] Warning: Bad language (for those not comfortable with profanity)

To The Moon (Destiel AU) by DeanCasImpala

Sixteen-year-old Castiel Novak's life has never been anything but horrible. His father is abusive and his mother died of leukemia when he was five. On top of his terrifying home life, he is bullied at school due to circling rumors of Cas being gay. Living doesn't seem right for the depressive and suicidal teenager, and he soon plans his demise. That is, up until he meets Dean Winchester, an equally depressive seventeen-year-old who turns Cas's life around. Dean shows Castiel a new life, a reason to keep on fighting the fight, and the two soon realize just how much they need each other. This AU fanfic is all about how much Dean and Cas care for each other and just how far they'll go to stay together. Possible trigger warning!!!

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]

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💗

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

Blue Eyed Stranger [COMPLETE] by elawritings

Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak are familiar-strangers who always end up on the same bus every morning and evening of the week. Luck isn't on Cas' side one week when he loses his cat and proceeds to get fired, then there's Dean who went a whole day without coffee. Eventful cat chases, office romances, family disputes, estranged lovers... all cramped into one story. - A long, descriptive destiel fic that I hope others enjoy reading as much as I have writing it. - *** Short prompt developed into a story. *** *please note I have only watched to season 10 of Supernatural, so these are dated pieces I wrote just for fun!*
