Summary
Unlike his father, Castiel was never a believer. He didn't believe he would ever have a home and a family - a real one, full of love, happiness, and respect; the kind that only existed in movies. That he would have a partner, a friend, and an example for his son. Someone to simply share his life with.
And then, he met Dean.
But, as life often has it, nothing stays simple forever. As his complicated past catches up with him, Cas must decide between his love for Dean and Jack's safety - and do it fast, before Lucifer’s clutches close around them all.
Or, perhaps, he just needs to learn what having a family is truly about.
(It's part of a series, but you can read it as a standalone work)

Summary
Dean grinned in satisfaction as warm, spice-scented air rushed out of the oven. He gingerly lifted the pie pan, pleased when the pumpkin filling gave the perfect amount of jiggle.
“Suck on that, you bougie wannabe trad wives.”

Summary
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.
But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets—for a moment—that machines aren’t supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now he’s tangled in something bigger. Secrets, loyalties, and everything Dean thought he understood about free will and humanity.
He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.
Updates every Friday with smaller bonus chapters now and then mid-week!

Summary
Three weeks ago Dean had his first heat post-Hell which he shared, against the advice of Sam and Bobby, with a certain Angel of the Lord.
Newly mated, Dean and the rest of 'Team Free Will' (along with the help of Heaven) race against the Demon hordes to stop them from breaking the 66 seals meant to keep Lucifer in the cage.
The Biblical Apocalypse looms closer with each day that passes and each seal that's broken.
And if that weren't enough, Angels, Demons, and every other supernatural creature is on the edge of their seat with the news that a Nephilim has come into being. Each side hoping to either kill the abomination or use it to win the war.
Oh, did Dean mention he’s pregnant.
(An Omegaverse Supernatural Rewrite set in Season 4 picking up on "I Know What You Did Last Summer")

Summary
Haunted by his past, Dean Winchester takes on the job of Lighthouse Keeper in the remote lakeside town Port Maren. Away from people, away from problems, Dean’s finally free from his demons; that is, until he discovers a journal left by the previous inhabitant of the lighthouse, Castiel Novak.
A marine biologist by trade, Castiel Novak came to Port Maren intrigued by the local legend and hoping to study the local biology. He vanished under mysterious circumstances nearly five years ago and no one in the town seems to know exactly what happened.
Dean sets out to get to the bottom of the disappearance but strange things are happening and he can’t tell if it’s his demons or the purported monster in the lake that have come back to haunt him.
AKA a reverse Shape of Water AU with elements of body horror, monster fucking, and falling in love with someone without talking to them.

Summary
Castiel is assigned a new human hunter partner in his investigations regarding the murders of his fellow angels. Both parties are reluctant to work together, and Castiel has growing suspicions which border on blasphemy. But there's something about Dean Winchester, something Castiel inherently trusts. Angels don't do leaps of faith— the danger of falling is an angel's deepest fear, afterall— but Castiel runs his fingers along the ashy remains of another dead sister and knows he can't do this alone. He just hopes his trust in the righteous soul assigned to him is not misplaced.

Summary
Jack turns himself into a toddler the moment he feels safe enough to be small again.
Cas blames Dean.
Dean blames himself.
What begins as penance becomes something deeper: a quiet domesticity, a second chance at raising a child without the shadow of John Winchester. But softness is dangerous when you’ve been taught to flinch from it.

Summary
After the Empty took Castiel, Dean pushed everything he felt inside a Very Secret, Very Closed Box in his head and swallowed the key. The Box had been intact and hermetic for two years in its corner of Dean’s mind, and because of that, Dean had been able to stay sane and focused. More or less.
But now, with Cas back, with every day they didn’t talk about what's between them, the Box is starting to leak.Castiel isn't complaining, far from it: He has a roof over his head, good shower pressure and food. He’s so grateful he’s afraid. Because he believed to have all those things once before, human and lost and confused, only to have the rug pulled under his feet.
And there’s the fact that, the last time he died, he carved his heart out for Dean to take, and the hunter hasn’t said anything about it.
Maybe that’s as good an answer as he’s going to get. -

Summary
Dean had been different since purgatory.
He’d always been aggressive, overprotective (although he would always deny it), but now he barely kept it together in crowded public places, pushing closer against Sam, nearly a step behind in order to cover his younger brother’s six.
AKA I LOVE POST/PURGATORY DEAN!!
