    Summary

    After a hunt goes wrong, Dean comes home with blood on his hands and grief gnawing at his chest. He failed to save someone, again, and the guilt threatens to drown him. Castiel finds him spiraling in the dark, locked away with a bottle and a silence he can’t outrun.

    What begins as quiet comfort slowly becomes something more. Castiel stays, not to fix Dean, but to hold him through the weight of it. And when Dean finally lets himself be touched, it’s not just about pleasure. It’s about being seen, being loved, and maybe, finally, believing he deserves it.

    Angst melts into tenderness. Grief becomes comfort. And through it all, Castiel never stops holding him.

    Summary

    A canon-divergent series to explore the formation and progression of a romantic (for them anyway) relationship between Dean and Castiel. Set approximately within the time frame of early Season 12 with some notable exceptions. In this series the British Men of Letters do not exist. Castiel is in charge of Heaven, Crowley is in charge of Hell, and Earth is still full of monsters.

    Summary

    Castiel Novak began his teaching career at Lawrence High School as a student teacher, catching the eye of a 14-year-old Dean Winchester. He does his best to avoid the young boy, as he knows what it’s like to be 14 and think your teacher is hot.

    What he hadn’t counted on is that, after he leaves to begin his teaching career at another school, he comes back to Lawrence High three years later to find a 17-year-old Dean Winchester not only still harboring a crush, but Castiel noticing just how attractive Dean has become. Will Castiel be able to ignore the teenager’s obvious flirting, or will he eventually give in once Dean is old enough to do something about it?

    Summary

    The world didn’t end when Castiel was taken by the Empty. Dean just wished it had.
    When grief cracks something deep inside him, it sets off a chain of events that might just repair the universe.. if it doesn’t break him first.

    or

    The one where Castiel comes back from the Empty, and joins Dean, Sam, and Eileen on their search to unlock a divine book. One that might help Jack fix what Chuck destroyed. And apparently, Dean's grief was divine enough to summon it.
    The universe can be repaired. The real question is: will Dean let himself live long enough to see it?
