Summary
Five years have passed since Castiel Milton killed the co-founders of the homophobic Haddonfield Baptist Church, also known as his parents. Five years that Castiel has spent in total silence on the secure ward at Smith’s Grove Sanitarium.
But when Castiel’s psychiatrist (and aspiring true crime writer) Chuck Shurley reveals that Haddonfield Baptist Church is going to be resurrected under new leadership, Castiel escapes the sanitarium. His goal: to cut the head off the snake once again.
He doesn’t expect to meet and fall for Haddonfield resident Dean Winchester, who turns out to be a kindred spirit in ways Castiel could never have guessed.
Shame there are a few things that stand in the way of their happy ending: two hateful pastors, an irritating co-worker, the ghosts of childhood, and a writer who’s determined to make himself the hero of the story.

Summary
When Sheriff Mary Winchester accused Fergus Crowley, the most powerful man in Neptune, California, of killing his daughter Meg, she lost the town’s goodwill and was run out of office. The fallout split the Winchester family in two, with only her older son Dean choosing to stick by her side.
Now Dean and Mary run a private detective agency together, all while Dean tries to navigate the social minefield of his senior year in high school. Not to mention his thorny relationship with Castiel Novak, who was Meg’s boyfriend when she died and — once upon a time — Dean’s best friend.
Thanks to an anonymous tipster, Dean gets his hands on an important clue in Meg’s murder. He decides to solve the case once and for all — whatever the consequences.

Summary
What does John see when he looks at Cas?
Cas doesn’t look like a monster.
But neither does Dean.
John stands, slow. He holds out a hand. Calloused like Dean’s hands are calloused. Scarred the same way that Dean’s hands are scarred. There’s the smell of him in the air too. Earthy and dark, slightly sour around the edges. The room feels suddenly choked with it. Claustrophobic.
Cas probably smells like the fabric softener they buy in bulk at Costco, but so does Dean so he can’t tell.
John says, toneless, “I hear you’ve been driving my car.”
. . .
The closer you are to what you want—
Dean's twenty-nine year old mother, his undefined relationship with Cas and their small family. Some kind of impossible reconciliation with John Winchester. Michael, out of his head, without destroying the world. His father's approval. To see the Grand Canyon.
—The more vulnerable you are.

Summary
Blue Eyes tilts his head. A predatory smile twists his lips.
Dean squirms beneath his gaze. “What? Does it look like I know your name, demon-priest?”
“Mm. Names have a lot of power, you know.”
“God, why did I have to get stuck with the most pretentious demon that’s ever-”
“Mine is Castiel.”
And, oh, Dean doesn’t hesitate before wrapping his tongue around it.
“Castiel.” He likes it. Please, God help him, he likes it.
“Is there an echo?”
Jesus Christ.
——
Or, Dean is a hunter and Cas is the unendingly sarcastic sin-eating demon he accidentally binds his everlasting soul to, so now Dean has to deal with things like the passenger deciding what music to listen to (Taylor Swift), unceasing threats of vehicular harm, and a disturbingly high propensity for arson and knives.

Summary
Dean Winchester is divorced, emotionally constipated, and way behind on the deadline for his next book. Naturally, the solution is to install a hyper-intelligent, slightly smug OS named Castiel to help whip his life into shape.
Cas is efficient. Supportive. And kind of charming, in a weird way.. Also? Unreasonably flirty for someone who lives in a hard drive somewhere.
Dean's not falling for him. He's just.. lonely.
So, why does Castiel feel like the only real thing in Dean's life?

Summary
Castiel, an overworked and underpaid sales rep for Sandover Bridge & Iron, is daily tortured by his cubicle-mate (read: mortal enemy), Dean. When Dean’s not actively making his life worse by using and abusing his office supplies, his picture at the top of the sales pyramid is taunting him. It’s a reminder to Cas of his own inadequacy always lurking in the corner of his eye that only further stokes the flames of his hatred for Dean, causing things to get a bit stabby.
When the two are tapped for a special project about building positive relationships in the workplace, they’re forced to figure out a way to become friends so they can sell it. Amidst all the praise they receive for their workshop, a potential promotion is put on the table between them, threatening the delicate balance they maintain as they teeter on the tightrope of societal expectations, and neither is sure if their budding relationship can survive the impact with the ground below.
The popularity of their workshop eventually sees the two men on a national stage and the more time they spend together, the closer they ultimately get until neither man can recognize the relationship they began with, and things once again get a bit stabby.

Summary
Like most terrible things in the world, this is Gabriel’s fault.
And maybe Eileen’s, and Sam’s. Fact is, Charlie’s getting married. Which of course Dean would be over the moon about, despite his objection to all things romantic—but this means spending a week with his least favorite person on the planet, his sparring partner in crime, Castiel, both of them united in only one thing—their scorn for love.
So when Gabriel has the bright idea of getting the two anti-lovebirds together, the whole gang is in on the idea. But as the week progresses and things get more and more complicated, they realize that perhaps not all is fair in love and war.A Shakespeare AU starring Dean and Cas.

Summary
Ever since his father’s death, Castiel has been lonely. His job can only fill so many of his hours, but his attempts at dating have been unsuccessful.
A bright spot in his day is the tall stranger who shares his train platform during the morning commute. If Castiel could find someone as handsome and apparently successful as this man to share his life with, he’s sure his loneliness would be a thing of the past.
One day, the stranger falls onto the train tracks during a robbery gone wrong and Castiel saves his life. With the man — Sam — lingering in a coma, Castiel quickly finds himself adopted into the raucous, cheerful circle of Sam’s family. There’s just one problem: as the result of a misunderstanding, Sam’s family believes that Castiel is Sam’s boyfriend.
The situation only gets worse when Castiel finds himself falling fast and hard for Sam’s older brother Dean. Will Castiel ever be able to tell Dean and his family the truth? And if he does, will they still want him in their lives?

Summary
[podfic version]
As a grease monkey turned college freshman, Dean's constantly three seconds away from being stressed out of his mind. It hardly helps that he's finally figuring out his sexuality in his thirties.What might help with that stress is a little phone number (and a big credit card bill). If he can't figure out how to be bisexual in person, he can at least give it a go over the phone, right?
(It's probably a bad idea, but he really can't help himself.)

Summary
“Y’all are sweet,” she says, and nods to indicate him and Cas. “Is he your—are you all together?”
Dean’s still contemplating how to answer this without saying something offensive—he never has figured out a polite way to say “no homo”—when Cas answers for him. Cas doesn’t even look up from his plate, his mouth full of baklava and some stray flakes of phyllo dough sticking to his lips when he says, “Yes.”
Dean feels more than sees Sam go very still across the table, forkful of salad and grilled chicken poised in midair.
***
In which Cas is human and doesn't understand basic concepts like: clothing, Mythbusters, moisturizer, and Greek food. Dean is...Dean and doesn't understand basic concepts like: boyfriends, language, how to tell your friend that he's a walking miracle, and when not to quip.
