Painted Sunsets Title: painted sunsets author: @kitsunecastiel artist: @amyeyl rating: mature length: 42k pairings: castiel/dean winchester, sam winchester/jessica moore, ellen harvelle/bobby singer, donna hanscum/jody mills, charlie bradbury/anna milton (past) warnings: main character death, mentions of past alcohol abuse, homophobia, and alleged suicide (for a more in-depth list, see the tags) summary: It is believed that when someone dies, their soul paints the sunset that day as their final goodbye to this world. At first, it was laughable to believe such a thing, but ever since Sam went missing in Sioux Falls two months ago, Dean has been waiting for him to come home. They say he’s dead, but Dean holds out, watching the sunsets and hoping Sam is still alive. When Sam’s old college roommate, Castiel Novak, shows up at Dean’s doorstep - with no memory of what happened to him after he’d crossed paths with Sam the night Sam went missing, Dean thinks he might have a piece to the puzzle that is Sam’s disappearance. Yet, as more is revealed about Sam’s mysterious death and just how Castiel is connected to it, Dean is forced to confront the darkness shrouding his past in ways he never thought he would. Is Castiel, the trench-coated amnesiac whose past is intertwined with Dean’s in more ways than one, the person who will help Dean finally move forward in his life? Or will their newfound relationship be the key to bringing the secrets hidden in the shadows out into the light? link to fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21402346?view_full_work=true

Now, he travels the galaxy, hunting rumors of Force sensitives so he can help them hide from the Empire, and to try and find the one he lost.

Title: Love is Garnish, Love is Blind Author(s): winchesterpooja, spnxbookworm Artist: angeltortured-artblog Rating: Mature Length: ~58k Pairings: Dean/Castiel Warnings: Depictions of mental illness Summary: Dean Winchester has many problems. His mom’s dead, and it’s all Jack’s fault. He’s not sure he wants to call it an accident or a mistake. However, when Jack ends up having his grace stolen, Dean finds himself on a path to track it back down with Sam and Cas at his side. But Sam’s not doing so good either, and as it turns out, neither is Cas. Here’s Dean’s biggest problem, though: he’s suddenly, terribly, horribly attracted to Cas and he doesn’t know where it even came from. It’s definitely not been this way for years, like Sam insists. Yep, Dean Winchester has many problems, and being in love with Cas is probably the biggest of them all. Canon divergent after episode 14.18 “Absence.” Genre: Romcom, Angst, Humour. Link to fic!

Title: When Broken Is Easily fixed

Author: Ryker | Honigrahm AO3

Artist: Kale Cartel

Rating: Mature

Length: 38107 words

Pairings: Dean/Castiel, Sam/ Jess (mentions)

Warnings: Major Character Death, Homophobic language, Mild Smut

They both needed saving, but it would never occur to either of them that they were slowly curing each other __________________ It’s 1989. Castiel Novak just started his first year of University and moved into a new apartment complex, which is set in a boring, quiet neighborhood. Until about one week ago, the black-haired man with the intense blue eyes was the only one on floor number three - and he loved it. Then, of course, he had to get this annoying new neighbor. This neighbor who seems to screw up time and space, as he is blasting loud music at 5AM and throws parties in the middle of the week. This neighbor he had not seen up to now, but already hated to his guts. This neighbor who prevented him from being completely functional during the day - if he ever was. This neighbor, that, as he gets to know him, would slowly but surely wrap him around his finger with his dark past and broken mind.

Title: The Stepbrother Trap

Author: A_Diamond

Artist: Dreym

Rating: Teen

Length: 20k

Pairings: Dean/Castiel (ody Mills/Mary Winchester, past Jody Mills/Chuck Shurley, past John Winchester/Mary Winchester, minor Balthazar/Bela Talbot)

Warnings: Mentions of past alcoholism and child neglect

Cas is excited to finally go to camp with his best friend the summer before their senior year, but the activities Balthazar’s been talking up—most of which aren’t necessarily camp sanctioned—are forgotten when they meet a boy who looks exactly like Cas. Twins separated at birth when their parents split up, Cas and Jimmy decide to trade places after camp. They’re hoping to pull it off long enough that each of them can get to know their second parent a little; and once they’re discovered, they’ll make it clear they won’t be kept out of each other’s lives again. For Jimmy, there’s the added bonus of getting to meet his favorite author. For Cas, growing up with only a father who did his best but until recently could charitably be described as a mostly functional alcoholic, going to live with not only his mother but also her wife and stepsons might finally show him what it feels like to be part of a family. An already complicated scenario worsens when Cas develops a crush on Jimmy’s older stepbrother Dean—who seems confused by the small ways ‘Jimmy’ changed at camp, and unsettled when he starts to feel things he never has before.

He’s a (Zoo) Keeper Author: almaasi

Artist: thedogsled

Rating: NC-17 / Explicit

Length: 74,500 words

Pairings: Dean/Cas, background Sam/Jess Summary: Human AU. A roommates-to-lovers friends-with-benefits situation gets complicated when Cas becomes a wedding planner and starts putting together a fake wedding for himself and Dean. Dean’s dating someone else, but is really starting to enjoy the idea of marrying his BFF. He’s willing to help pick the decor, the food, the clothes, the music, and the guest invites, all on a conceptual budget. The date is set when Dean puts down a just-in-case venue deposit, and the guests are invited when Cas sends out some template emails by mistake. It kind of looks like this fake wedding is actually going ahead, in an accidental, too-late-now sort of way. But are Dean and Cas simply too stubborn to hit the brakes, or are they both not-so-secretly hoping it’s real?

Warnings: Dean is in a relationship with a girlfriend while planning his fake wedding with Cas. Cas consents to this repeatedly, but is secretly struggling with it and hiding the truth due to past trauma: an abusive ex-partner cheated on both him and Dean. A couple mentions of Cas experiencing past coercive but non-violent rape, physical abuse, implied PTSD, panic attacks. Themes of pyrophobia, storms, and fire. Unprotected oral sex, consensual drunk sex, other sex stuff (check AO3’s tag box). Dean and Cas both wear lingerie at one point. ♡ Link to fic
