    Summary

    The crowning achievement of Castiel’s existence has been the salvation of Dean Winchester. But now, with his stolen grace tearing him apart from the inside out, Cas could use a little salvation himself.

    Dean, even demonised by the Mark of Cain, is more than happy to offer everything Cas could ever need or want. He just wants Cas to say yes first.

    Summary

    “I think,” Cas grits out, “that the spell requires me to say the truth. I’ve been trying to suppress it with my grace, but it’s… not working.”
    “Got it,” Dean says, nodding, because he can work with this. “Yeah. Sure. So give me some truths. Some stupid little ones.”
    Cas narrows his eyes. “Such as?”
    “Like, I dunno, what’s your favorite color?”
    Cas’s face somehow goes stonier. “Green,” he ekes out.
    Dean clears his throat. Blinks a few times. “Oh.”
    ________

    Or: when Dean and Cas investigate a group of high school students getting mysteriously ill, Cas gets hit with a truth spell.

    Summary

    “How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.

    The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.

    The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.

    “I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”

    *

    Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

    Summary

    “What I want most isn’t sex, Dean. I want—I want you to love me. That’s my greatest desire. And you—you can’t give it to me, Dean. Not the way I want it. Not the way I love you.”
    The words are soft, vulnerable, and it feels as if the very room has been transformed into a homemade confessional, because this is Cas confessing his dearest secret to Dean—again, always again—and this is Dean on the other side, not knowing how to respond. Heart racing, Cas’s figure blurring with his tears. This is the bunker dungeon all over again, with death knocking on their door, and this is Cas dying, again, because Dean is too afraid to give him what he wants.

    OR

    Post-finale, after Jack rescues Cas from the Empty and brings him back to Earth as a human, Cas and Dean have yet to talk about his confession. Dean's avoidance of the subject was working perfectly—up until a routine hunt in which a witch curses Cas to die within 24 hours unless his greatest desire is fulfilled. Seems like they have some talking to do, after all.

    Summary

    The only things that guarded Guy’s thoughts and feelings from being completely obvious were his general disregard for social norms and his tendency to bluster. Aside from that, he was painfully easy to read, meaning it was unfortunately clear that Guy wanted something.

    Lingering after meetings, bothering Michael in his workshop, taking any and every excuse to be around. Guy wanted him and it was impossible for him to not know.

    Cas dies and Dean starts referring to himself as a widower. This is somewhat confusing for everyone involved.

    Summary

    The first time was an honest to god mistake. Adrenaline, relief. Wanting to get back at Guy for being insufferable.

    The second and third time, too, were mistakes. The fourth was unfortunate. A decontamination shower gone haywire.

    By the fifth time, Michael had started to run out of excuses.

    Not any of the particular times they hooked up but the lead up, the consequences, and the Mr. Terrific-grade refusal to acknowledge anything remotely romantic (and in turn, traumatizing their local Hawkgirl).

    Summary

    Dean Winchester is bad at vocalizing his feelings. Which is why he makes his best friend a mixtape... with the first track being Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love." If only he had better timing when he delivered it.

    Or: Dean gives Cas the mixtape just before they go off to expel Lucifer from the body of the United States president. It takes more than a few weeks for him to give it a listen.

    Summary

    AU in which the apocalypse and angels and demons never happen, and Sam and Jess and Dean live together in a suburban lifestyle -- and then suddenly, nothing is alternate universe at all. Told from Sam's POV. Dean is compelled to tend a dead rose garden, if only Dean could remember why; and remember why it is so important.

    Summary

    Dean’s voice is all low and husky and “you didn’t do so hot on your exam, Cas,” he says.

    And Oh god, Sam thinks, and brings his hands up, runs them over his face in his nervousness, through his hair, and what’s it going to be like, he thinks, when he shatters Dean’s world—now, a life so simple where the only worry is Cas failing his laundry test, and then, The After, when Sam’s told Dean that Cas is...

    Dean and Cas have a very public deathbed confession and officially become an item. And this would totally be thrilling—except Sam gets knocked out during the fight and misses the whole damn thing.

    Or the one where everybody except Sam knows and Sam thinks Dean’s sudden newfound celibacy is a witch’s curse.

    Summary

    Cas is back from the Empty, and things are fine. Dean told Cas he loves him too, but also that he doesn’t want to be more than friends. (Which is a lie, but seems like the safer choice if he wants to keep Cas for the long haul this time.)

    Since things are completely fine, it shouldn’t be an issue for Dean and Cas to investigate a mysterious death together. There’s just one problem: in the course of their investigation, they meet a woman who can tell truth from lies every single time. Will the woman’s apparently impeccable “bullshit detector” pick up on what Dean really wants? And will Dean and Cas be able to find the monster before it kills again?

    Summary

    “You can’t,” Dean says, sitting at the first table of the library. It’s expansive in front of him in his solitude. It’s too big for a single person.

    Cas looks over at the words. Across the room, he frowns.

    “I don’t understand,” he prompts, voice low and gentle. Quiet, like they were in a real library.

    But his eyes are narrowed. His eyebrows drawn down in suspicion. The book he’s holding stays opened at chest level, and Cas doesn’t lower it when he speaks.

    “You know,” Dean says coldly. He can’t meet Cas’s eyes, so he watches his clasped hands on the table. “What you said. You can’t.”

    or the one where dean doesn't think he deserves cas's love confession from before the empty and cas proves him wrong

    Summary

    Cas stretches out in the backseat while Dean takes up the front, and Dean’s pretty devoted to gritting his teeth until he can catch an hour or two of sleep, but sleep won’t take, and it just doesn’t take long at all for him to start shivering despite the layers.

     

    After maybe half an hour of shivering, he hears rustling behind him, picks himself up by the elbows to peer over the back of the front bench, and sees Cas shedding clothes.

     

    “... what are you doing?”

     

    “I am preparing to share body heat with you,” Cas answers flatly, already out of his coat and jacket, unbuttoning his collared shirt and shrugging it off; his shoulders and arms look immense in the thin undershirt beneath.

     

    “W-We won’t be doing that—”

    Summary

    When you perform a spell to defeat God himself, there’s bound to be side effects — such as every version of Team Free Will getting zapped to an alternate universe.

    The former residents of the Endverse find themselves in an underground bunker full of the kinds of food they haven’t seen in years and clothes that magically fit them. As Dean adjusts to life in a world where Croatoan never got out of control, he faces some tough questions: Can he forgive Sam for saying yes to Lucifer? And is his relationship with Cas really beyond saving?

    The residents of the bunker, meanwhile, wake up as employees of HunterCorp, whose CEO is one John Winchester. Being around people Dean lost years ago is no picnic, and it’s changing the dynamic of his relationship with Cas in ways he never expected. But is the change meant to last, or will they fall back into old patterns when they return to their own universe?

    Summary

    Six months after Cas was swallowed by the Empty, Dean, Sam and Jack find a spell to pull an angel from the Empty, but the last ingredient is missing. Determined to save Cas, Dean travels back to 2009 to get the missing ingredient from the only person who can give it to him: Castiel, fresh from having pulled Dean from hell.

    (Inspired by the tumblr post about what would be the most insane combination of Dean and Cas to meet. My answer was post-confession Dean and season 4 Cas)
