Summary
Castiel is heading home from his shop after a bad day, and to top it all off, it's raining. He's hungry and tired, and doesn't notice the dog that races out in front of him until it's too late. Castiel trips and falls to the ground, getting up just as the dog gets hit by a car. When checking on the dog, Castiel realizes, this isn't a dog; it's a familiar. And, Castiel just so happens to be a witch with a soft heart, so he takes him in to help heal him. Over time, he starts to gain the familiar--Dean's-- trust. But what was Dean running from in the first place? What dark past is he hiding? Is Castiel enough to keep Dean safe from the horrors creeping up on him?

Probably slow updates! I try to write when I can.

Summary
As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.
For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.
At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.
Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.

Summary
Dean Winchester never wanted this. For seventeen years, he was raised to be an alpha lord, his father's heir. Even when he didn't present at twelve or thirteen like most young alphas, he wasn't really worried. He was well bred, descended from two noble alpha families. Of course he would be an alpha.
But he wasn't.
Castiel Milton never wanted a wife. Or a title for that matter, but he wasn't going to leave his family's lands and his sisters' futures in the hands of his vile Uncle Zachariah. When he learned of a clause in his late father's will stipulating that he must marry a noble omega within the year or forfeit his inheritance, Castiel reluctantly embarked upon a search for a woman willing to enter into a loveless, sexless marriage with him.
Instead he found Dean.

Summary
Dean Winchester thought he had the perfect life until his world changes when his wife Lisa gives birth, and a complication arises that claims her life. Dean grieves while trying to raise his son, Ben, as a single parent and his brother convinces him to get out of the house for some time alone. He stumbles across Purgatory, a club that takes him into the world of BDSM and becomes a sub to a Russian Dom named Dmitri. He keeps his new life secret from his family and frequents the club for five years, trying his best not to fall in love with his dom.
Castiel Novak lived a simple life and thought he would be married by the time he reached 35, but had not found the man of his dreams yet. He taught kindergarten during the day, but by night, he was the most popular dom at Purgatory where he carried the persona of a Russian named Dmitri with an accent to go with it. For five years he has a regular sub named Michael and he tries his hardest not to fall for the man, but he can picture a future with him.
Then one day, five years after Michael and Dmitri meet, Dean walks into Castiel’s classroom as his son starts his first day of Kindergarten and everything suddenly changes for both men.

Summary
Castiel is accustomed to working with mistreated submissives. At 28, he's one of the leading experts in his field, having pioneered the usage of a much softer style of domination as a treatment for Submissive Rejection Syndrome. His insistence on handling issues of "defiance" with gentleness and patience has ruffled some feathers in the world of submissive psychology, but there’s no arguing with his success rate.
When he gets the call about Dean, though, Cas almost can't believe what he's hearing. Suffering from the exceedingly rare Complete Submissive Rejection Syndrome, Dean has never once in his life gone into subspace, and has become so feral and violent in an effort to keep dominants away from him that he’s in danger of being put down.
The man is a challenge like nothing Cas has ever faced before, and he doesn’t know if mere kindness will be enough to pull him back from the brink. Chasing Dean’s trust, Cas struggles to find a way to tear down the submissive’s walls and show him he’s safe enough to let himself go.
But true trust is a two way street, and Cas has walls of his own. When Dean starts to knock on them, will Cas be brave enough to answer?

Cages or Wings (Ask the Birds) by mslilylashes
Fandom Supernatural, Supernatural (TV 2005)
19 Feb 2026
Summary
Cages or wings — which do you prefer?
Ask the birds.
Fear or love?
Baby, don’t say the answer...
actions speak louder than wordsCastiel was entrusted with the most sacred mission: protect the Michael Sword, the Righteous Man, until he comes of age to be of use to Heaven in the war against Lucifer. He willingly fell to earth, with the knowledge that he would be captured and enslaved, and eventually fall into the possession of the Righteous Man’s father. He was not prepared for what that would entail, and the horror he would be forced to face at his master’s hands.
Dean was seven when Dad came back from a hunting trip with a bound, beaten man in a tan coat that suddenly went everywhere with them. His job, Dad explained, was going to be protecting Dean and Sam while Dad was away hunting.
At first, Dean doesn’t understand why the man stays around just to basically babysit them... Until one terrible day he does: it’s not that Castiel won’t leave, it’s that he can’t — and after that, nothing will ever be the same.
(Please note: Dean/Cas is the endgame, but does not happen while Dean is below the age of consent.)
