Dean's about to start medical school and he has been assigned a dorm room.

With a roommate.

As he and Sam head up to his new room he gets an ominous warning from the guy down the hall about Dean's new roommate. It unnerves Sam, but Dean thinks the guy can't be that bad.

Right?

Dean and Sam grew up happy with BOTH parents in this one. I thought about how to approach this one for quite a while before I actually started writing it. I thought, how can I get this to make sense? Why would a roommate run away? And then this came to me.

So, for those of you that don't know, I based a lot of Cas' personality, quirks, and traits on myself since I have Asperger's. While I don't color coordinate my shirts in the closet, they DO have to all face the same direction, and I have more sensory issues than I'll bore you with here. I mention Dean's sensory issues as well here. While he doesn't show actual traits of Asperger's, he's on the spectrum too, and people on the spectrum still have related issues.

The bluntness of Cas' questions are something that I did more often when I was younger, and a reason why people singled me out as weird or a freak. I had great difficulty distinguishing between when people were joking and making fun of me (therefore people thought I was stupid, and I was called as much, despite my higher IQ), so I tended to keep to myself. I still have difficulty initiating conversations, and my reaction to going into places like the party that will be mentioned here is much the same as I made Cas react. Parallels, as you'll notice.

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)!
Becoming A Winchester by ArticRomantic
24 parts Ongoing Mature
Imagine your life spun upside down and into a world that you didn't know existed. After being rescued by The Winchesters, you start a new life...living in the bunker with them and hunting with them. You find yourself needing to move on as you realize your feelings for the older Winchester is becoming too much for you. Do you try to bury the feelings and continue living in the bunker as a little sister to The Winchesters or do you find the courage to move on and forget you ever became one of The Winchesters? *This takes place after the series finale-except Dean is alive. ***Preview "What do you think about Dean? Are you like in love with him?" Sarah asked, tilting her head as she studied me. "I mean, you two are living together and sleeping together." I shake my head with a nervous laugh, "No, that's because I have nightmares from my kidnapping and I get scared. We aren't like actually sleeping together...you know, like sex.. no, no...that would be, well no." My over exaggerated defense does not go over well with Sarah. I know if I meet her gaze my cheeks will flare. "It wouldn't be so bad if you did. Just might want to do something before anyone else comes into the picture," my friend advised me. "And you are living together. You've been living with The Winchesters for several months now despite the fact that now you have a steady job at the university." "I guess it is time for me to find me a place of my own," I shrugged, staring mindlessly at the light brown liquid in my mug. I sip my coffee and take a look around the coffee shop. A couple sits in the far corner all cozied up. An elderly man and woman sit just a few tables away from me and Sarah. I longed for love like that, but it's not best for me to get into a relationship after all I've been through. I now know there is another world out there and the less people who know about it, the safer it is for everyone.

"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
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]

LONG DISTANCE ROMANCE

1 part Complete

If you are stumbling across this it can be read independently of True Confessions, however you'll better understand this if you read True Confessions first. The second (and final) part to True Confessions. In this Dean and Cas are leaving for college, and Cas is in a happy little bubble where he believes Dean will follow him to Cambridge and attend school there because Cas doesn't want to give up his dream of attending Harvard. He doesn't take into consideration that Dean might have dreams of his own. They end up doing a long distance romance where Cas' own doubts and paranoia eat at him, and he ends up ruining the best thing that has ever happened to him. ***WARNING*** If you think True Confessions is full of angst, then please, grab a box of tissues before you read this, because this takes it a whole level higher. I like angst, and it actually caused me a lot of stress writing this as ny heart broke for Dean, but follow it through to the end. You'll be glad you did!
