Summary
"Captain's Log, Stardate 10918.8. Captain Ellen Harvelle reporting, First Officer… Castiel… attending. After a month of bargaining with the Gehennian government, efforts to permit a search party within the Rack facilities still proved unsuccessful. Although Starfleet’s orders dictated we tuck tail and leave, I elected to disregard this decision and beam a rescue operations team down for the recovery of Lieutenant Commander Dean Winchester.
The life of Commander Rufus Turner was lost in the efforts, but the hostage was recovered, severely injured but alive. Although I have not escaped unscathed for disobeying a direct order, Starfleet has redirected their attention to understanding the circumstances surrounding Winchester’s imprisonment and rescue..."
In the middle of a milk run mission to retrieve powerful artifacts before they can fall into the hands of galactic terrorists, things go, as always, horribly wrong — and Dean and Castiel are mortified to discover their bond, if they even have one, is all that stands between the galaxy and its annihilation.
Something is rotten in the state of Starfleet.
Edits & improvements through Chapter 2 as of 6/8/25.

DCBB 2015. The sea; it swallows me. It comes up to my knees and it swallows me. The boys owe Jody a few dozen favours, and so when her niece goes missing near an old fishing village on the coast of Maine, Dean, Sam, and a newly human Castiel agree to take the case on. They settle into an old abandoned lighthouse-keepers' cottage, and slowly the tide comes in. (post-s8)

Summary
So, it turns out that saving the king’s life during a battle is a move straight out of a classic ballad. No, seriously. Fairytales, legends and romances too, it's grist for all their mills. This makes no sense to Castiel, but as a fallen angel who’s only been human for a few days, everything about these mortals and their 'romance' is perplexing.
Fortunately king Dean does not know it was Castiel who saved his life, and the latter intends to keep it that way. The idea of a one-sided bond of gratitude between them is… unappealing. He prefers his sacrifice to remain unrequited. Dean’s still searching for his savior, and hell, the whole kingdom believes this person is his predestined love interest, but that’s not an issue. It’s not like someone else is going to pop out of the woodwork to claim responsibility for Castiel’s good deed.
