Summary
Dean pulls the roll of cash out of his pocket, peels off bills that are warm and damp from his body heat and the day’s sweat. It’s absurd, but he gets the sudden idea that it would be rude to give them to this guy like this, that he ought to let them crisp up in the cool air before handing them over. “How’d you get this stuff?”
“You really want to know that?”
But what the fuck is Dean on about, this guy is a piece of shit, who cares if he gets handed the cash equivalent of a body-warm toilet seat. “No, I guess I don’t.”
---------
Sometimes the worst part of a hunt is the stuff you have to do to prepare for it. Sometimes the worst part is all of it.

Summary
“Dean, did you know there are 31 towns in the United States named Winchester. There’s a Winchester, Kansas.”
“D’you think they sell t-shirts?”
“Hmm, no, the current population is 461 so I think that's unlikely.”
Dean rolls out from under the Impala, socket wrench gripped loosely in a hand stained dark with grease and soot. He doesn’t get up from the creeper right away, just lays there letting his arms rest from being held in an awkward position for the better part of the afternoon. “Would be kinda fun to have a shirt from each one though.”
--------------------
Dean and Cas go on a sort-of honeymoon now that they're sort-of-married. Fluff, jokes, and of course a little introspection ensue. And Dean gets a t-shirt. "Virginia is for Lovers" has a sequel.

Summary
“Do not pretend to know me, Michelle,” Michael sneers as he shrugs out of the puffy coat and leaves it lying on the floor before walking out of the JC Penneys.
He wanders the mall, stopping briefly in front of a PacSun and gazing upon a display of surf shorts. But he does not see anything that satisfies him and so he leaves, walking the streets of Duluth, seething at the indignity of all this flannel and denim that Dean has forced him – the Right Hand of God – to wear.
And then he sees it.

Summary
“Just, close your eyes a little.” Castiel closes them completely. “Not, christ…” Dean blows out a sigh. “Squint a little. You do it all the time.”
Cas scowls and squints and tilts his head slightly, and that’s it, he’s found it. He’s practically smoldering. Dean swallows reflexively while Castiel’s gaze burns into him, annoyance looking a hell of a lot like lust on that face, and he feels… he’s not sure what he feels, he just knows he’s relieved when the cheap plastic viewfinder of the disposable camera creates a barrier between him and Cas, lens obscuring Castiel’s intensity, clouding his expression like a smear of vaseline.
“What do you do with it now?”
“Uh, take it to a photo place and get it developed and then I make you a badge.”
----------------------
If Castiel is going to track down Raphael the hunter way, he's going to need a badge. And if Dean's going to help Cas do that, he's going to need a drink. And maybe some licorice.

Summary
“Oh.” Castiel reaches down and plucks something long and thick and black from the folds of Dean’s shirt, then holds his open palm up to his face, fascinated.
“Cas,” Slowly, gingerly, Dean pushes himself up into a seated position, thrilled to be able to finally move but aware of how stiff he is from having lain on the cold ground all night. From his new position he can see something coiling around one of Cas’ fingers. “Forget the centipede, Cas.”
“It’s a millipede.”
“What?”
“It’s a millipede. Centipedes have a single pair of legs per body segment, while millipedes have two."
On one hand it’s very Cas of him to get hung up on a bug in the middle of a hunt, but on the other with two very noticeable corpses right nearby and the sun starting its rise in the east, they don't have the time or luxury to let this play out.
----------------
In which Dean accidentally gets himself cursed while on vacation, Cas has to help him work the case while accepting that he's not quite the angel he used to be, and Sam has to explain very basic magic to a guy who really should already know this stuff.

Summary
Castiel and Dean meet for the first time on a plane ride out of Nowhere, Alaska. Castiel’s headed home after an impulsive solo vacation and Dean, a hardened Alaskan native, is just trying to get out of the impossibly small town he grew up in that’s got nothing left to offer him. They forge an instant connection over Dean’s flying anxiety and whiskey, a meet-cute that has all the makings of a rom-com with a sickeningly sweet happy ending. That is, until their plane explodes in mid-air, crashing headlong into the Alaskan wilderness and killing everyone on board save for Dean and Castiel. When no rescue shows up to save them, the two men are forced to make some tough decisions. To make it home alive they’ll have to trust each other and find faith neither of them has ever really wanted. Will they survive or succumb to the unforgiving mountain wilderness? And will their journey tear them apart... or bring them closer together?

A Tail Most Unusual by delicious-irony (deliciousirony), rustling_pages

Summary
It could be argued there are worse ways of meeting the love of your life than measuring their inseam for the fitting of a prosthetic merman tail, but if you asked Castiel about it, he’d probably disagree.
Secretly being a merman in Hollywood was difficult enough, but working on the cheesiest tv show to ever exploit the worst tropes about merfolk - thank you, Gabriel - with annoyingly attractive soap opera star Dean Winchester was not how Castiel had invisioned his life going.

Summary
A hiker's body is found mauled in the Oregon woods. While investigating, Sam and Dean stumble onto an itinerant sideshow, whose members are the primary target of the same creature killing across the American west. The case alone would be difficult enough, even if Sam and Dean didn't have to deal with the strained consequences of a trip to Hell and back.
