When I Grow Up
Author: weasleychick32
Artist: kuwlshadow
Rating: Teen and Up
Pairing: Eventual Dean/Castiel
Word Count: 24k
Warnings: Potty mouths, mentioned drug use by a secondary character
Summary: What do you want to be when you grow up? An astronaut? A scientist? A hula-hooping rodeo clown who drives the ice cream truck on Sundays?
At age seven, Castiel already has his future decided, now it’s simply a matter of making it happen. Life gets in the way in the form of hospital visits, a stolen favorite pencil, school yard bullies, a gym-eteria talent show, and a spur of the moment road trip, but he refuses to settle. With a little help from family, unexpected friends, a kind stranger, and a freckle-faced boy with a love of giraffes and architecture, he can do anything.
Told in seven-year increments from age seven to thirty-five.

Word Count: 14K
Warnings: Businessman Dean, poor Castiel, Dean to the rescue, Fluff and Angst, Depression, Hopeful Ending
Summary: Dean Winchester is not one to socialize during his few precious days away from work. However, he’s also not one to just stand by when a man in need is being bullied. Or when said man and the little girl by his side need a ride during a snowstorm. Or when they need blankets. Or when … okay, so maybe Dean is one to socialize after all, but only when it comes to blue-eyed angels in need.

Word Count: 79.5k
Warnings: Canon-typical violence, descriptions of torture, suicidal thoughts, brainwashing, some sexual content
Summary: Castiel had know about the Winchester family line for centuries. They were an archangel bloodline, everyone knew about them. He just didn’t care. There were better things to do than worry about Winchesters, such as fighting demons. It wasn’t until all of the Earthly Garrison were called back to Heaven to prepare for the Apocalypse that Castiel took notice of the brothers, watching from above as he waited for orders.
Unexpectedly, he found himself growing quite fond of Dean. Enough so that other angels begin to notice and comment. After rescuing Dean from Hell, Castiel continued to grow closer to him, despite the warnings.
Of course, these things never run smoothly. Particularly when love is involved.

Pairing/s: Destiel
Word Count: 26k

One particular case they find, leads them straight to California and specifically, San Diego. Doing a small hunt while out by the sandy beaches doesn’t sound like a bad deal and so Team Free Will sets out to hunt, vacation, and have fun while doing it. Little do they know that they just happened to drive into town the weekend of Comic Con - and that their case might have something to do with it.
Right Turns & Routine Disruptions

Artist: cenedrariva
Rating: Explicit
Pairing/s: Destiel - Dean Winchester/Castiel Novak
Word Count: 23,000
Warnings: NFSW, Frottage, Hand Jobs, Pining (SO much Pining)
Summary: If Castiel Novak had to pick one word to describe himself, he knew precisely what it would be. Boring. Tax accountants, while a necessary evil to the world were boring, and he would likely qualify as the most boring one that existed. However, when his best friend (though he used that title very broadly when applying it to Balthazar), dares him to make one small change to his routine, just one, Castiel doesn’t have it in him to argue. His decision to turn right on the route he walks home instead of left brings one Dean Winchester, local mechanic and brand new pastry shop owner, crashing into his life. Dean turns his routine upside down and backwards, but Castiel doesn’t…mind. He keeps turning right, and keeps running into Dean. Maybe routine disruption is…good?

Summary: Castiel Novak was 16 years old, and he’d never been kissed. Or, for that matter, had he been the one doing the kissing. Point was…well. That kind of was the point. And normally, it wasn’t a state of affairs he would have been much concerned with. Except that everyone else was.
Castiel spends years of his life believing something is wrong with him, that something fundamental inside of him is broken beyond repair. As he gets older and goes away to college with his best friend Hannah - who struggles with her own identity right alongside of him - he discovers there’s so much more out there he’d never dreamed of…so much that makes everything make a hell of a lot more sense to him now.
He dares to hope that he can finally feel comfortable with himself…

Summary: When Zachariah dies, the illusions he’s created die with him. But before they collapse completely, sometimes they collide. That’s how Castiel goes from cradling Dean Winchester’s broken body one moment, to finding himself face to face with Dean Smith in the next.
This story starts in the moments after 2009 Dean is pulled from the Endverse back into his own timeline. We follow Endverse Castiel as he’s sucked into the Terrible Life Verse. Confronted with Dean Smith, Castiel begrudgingly tries to deal with the fact that he’s still alive and that he’s stuck with some strange Dean. (Worse yet, he might be developing feelings for this other man.)
