Dean Winchester and the Belly Button Piercing
Author: Trenchcoat_Paradigm
Artist: Reverie
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean Winchester / Castiel
Sam Winchester / Eileen Leahy
Past Dean Winchester/Original Female Character
Length: 34800
Warnings: N/A
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Porn With Plot, Men of Letters Bunker (Supernatural), Piercings, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Time Having Sex, Openly Bisexual Dean Winchester, Idiots in Love, Top Castiel/Bottom Dean Winchester, Fluff and Smut.
Summary: Dean Winchester was 23 when he got his belly button pierced.
It was during a time in his life when everything felt like it was in turmoil (long before he even really knew what his life being in turmoil truly meant). He never intended to go out and get any piercings—his father would have never allowed it. For 20-something years it had been his best-kept secret… that was until one fateful night when a hunt went wrong and his best friend had to swoop in and help patch him up, catching an eyeful of his elusive secret.
Castiel’s infatuation with his best friend took a dangerous turn that night (not that he wasn’t already treading treacherous waters with his feelings towards the man). He had already known that Dean had a piercing, but he had no idea it was still functional, and equally had no idea that a piece of jewellery, Dean’s own slice of quiet rebellion, would have such a profound effect on him. Now Castiel can’t help but want him and his fading grace is doing very little in hiding his… indiscretions. The idea of it slowly drove him insane.
And what makes it worse… Castiel was certain Dean was doing it on purpose.

The Proposal Plan
Author: CassondraWinchester
Artist: lotrspnfangirl
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean Winchester/Castiel, John Winchester/Mary Winchester, Bobby Singer/Jody Mills, Jody Mills/Donna Hanscum
Length: 29652
Warnings: N/A
Tags: Alpha Castiel, Omega Dean, Romance, Comedy, Fluff, Feel Good Fic, Meeting the Parents, Clumsy Castiel, Romantic Comedy, Smut
Summary: Dean and Castiel have built a beautiful life together over the past five years, sharing a deep and unbreakable love. But as Dean's 30th birthday approaches, his traditional parents throw a curveball: they want to finally meet the elusive "Castiel" who has stolen their son's heart. Embracing the opportunity to make a good impression, Castiel eagerly agrees.
But there's one small hiccup: Castiel's clumsiness seems to have a knack for creating awkward situations wherever he goes. Nevertheless, undeterred by his tendency for mishaps, Castiel is fueled by his unwavering devotion to Dean and a genuine desire to win over his parents. He embarks on a weekend getaway, with the hope of placing a ring on Dean's finger as the ultimate birthday surprise.
Will his charm, albeit unconventional, be enough to win over his potential in-laws and secure their approval? Or will the weekend end with Dean's parents questioning their son's taste in Alphas? One thing’s for certain: this birthday weekend will be filled with laughter, love, and a few memorable mishaps that will be retold for years to come.

three days before we met you
Author: TwinOne
Artist: lotrspnfangirl
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean Winchester/Castiel
Length: 21490
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Tags: Alternate Universe - Zombie Apocalypse, Hunter Dean Winchester, Doctor Castiel (Supernatural), Castiel is Jack Kline's Parent, Minor Character Death, Blood and Violence, Survival, Badass Dean Winchester, Near Death Experiences, Happy Ending
Summary: Mary is late coming back to the bunker after her last supply run. Normally Dean didn’t think much about it, she’d been known to disappear for an extra week or two when she’s on one of her runs. What had him worried was the fact that they were living in the fucking zombie apocalypse.
Stumbling into Castiel and Jack on his search is just coincidence.

Stargazer
Author: Ryan_A
Artist: Outofthecavern
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester/others, Castiel/Inias (prior)
Length: 260000
Warnings: Graphic Depictions of Violence, Rape/Non-Con, Underage (mentioned)
Tags: Biologically Necessary Submission (Bio BDSM), Dubious Consent, Dominant Castiel/Submissive Dean, Training/Rehabilitation Center, Hurt/Comfort, Doctor Castiel/Patient Dean, Age Play, Suicidal Ideation (brief), PTSD with Flashbacks, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: Dean Winchester hates his biology. When he presented as a submissive, it made him a target. From catcalling to groping to physical abuse, Dean has learned the hard way that Dominants can’t be trusted.
Unfortunately, as a male—especially a tall male submissive—he’s a rare find. A gold mine to sub-trafficker Asmodeus, a ruthless Dominant with an appetite for torture who snatched Dean from outside his local bar.
When Dean manages escape and is hospitalized, suffering from physical injuries and severe trauma, specialist Dr. Castiel Novak is called upon to admit Dean into his private rehabilitation center.
As Castiel nurses Dean back to health, Dean faces his instinctive need to escape. Castiel is a Dominant—the enemy—but he has also been kind, nurturing, and everything opposite to what Dean has come to know.
But as Dean considers letting down his walls to let Castiel in, Asmodeus is in the shadows, scheming to get his prize submissive back.

Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean/Cas, brief Dean/Cassie, brief Dean/Anna, past Dean/Male OC (very PG), brief Dean/Jo, mentioned Dean/Lisa, mentioned Sam/Ruby
Length: 58532
Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence, Canon typical violence, suicidal ideation, mental health issues, alcoholism, mentioned child abuse, (internalised) homophobia, implied sexual assault
Tags: angst with a happy ending, coming out, canon-divergent
Summary: Dean has never had a space, he could just be himself until one summer in Missouri where he meets Cassie who takes him under her wing. For a few short months he can express himself the way he wants to and experiences what a normal life could look like. When he reunites with his family he has to reconcile this with the version he is with them and face the problems he's ignored before, all while there is an apocalypse underway. A certain angel showing up might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
(A Dean-centric retelling of S1-5).

Sleepwalk
Author: Bees
Artist: natmoose
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Dean/Cas
Mary/John
Length: 27000
Warnings: graphic depictions of violence, intolerance, threats of lynching, threats of non-sexual sodomy with an inanimate object, attempted murder, kidnapping,
Tags: 1950s, Coming of Age, Eventual Happy Ending, inadvertently coming out, John and Mary are supportive, basketball star Dean Winchester, Sheriff John Winchester, non-explicit sex,
Summary: Dean Winchester has a perfect life: his parents are great, he's the star of the basketball team, and he is the most popular boy in school. So the nagging voice in the back of his head that tells him things could be better seems out of place, makes him feel ungrateful.
This is a story about coming to terms with one's self, one's sexuality, and the way in which outsiders view those who step outside their neat, tidy little boxes—written through the lens of books and films of the Beat Generation.

Ghosts and Monsters
Author: WhiskyBoys
Artist: Squirrelofcelestialintent
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Dean/cas, Sam/Jess, John/Mary, mentioned past Dean/Crowley, mentioned past Cas/others
Length: 50000
Warnings: No archive warnings
Tags: Alpha Cas/Omega Dean, hurt/comfort, protective Cas, past abuse (non graphic), terrible parenting, swearing, show-level violence.
Summary: Thanks to his asshole ex-boyfriend, Dean is homeless, unemployed, and in deep shit with his ex’s loan shark. Just when Dean’s sure things can’t get any worse, they do; his dad has a heart-attack. When Sam begs him to come home, Dean can’t say no. He hasn’t been back to his hometown since he was a scared and desperate seventeen year old and the prospect of returning over a decade later is still terrifying.
The town of Grace has seen a lot of changes since Dean ran away, but one thing that apparently hasn’t changed is how stupidly in love Dean is with his childhood best friend, Cas.
The question is, can Dean heal the old wounds that haunt him. And is he willing to let Cas help him this time around.

The Forest of Souls
Author: Diminuel
Artist: nhyhu
Rating: Teen
Pairings: Dean/Castiel
Length: 31000
Warnings: N/A
Tags: Alternate Universe - Monsters Have Taken Over, (Involuntary) Camping in Purgatory, Creature Castiel (Supernatural), Castiel's True Form (Supernatural), Hurt Dean Winchester, Alternate Universe – Dystopia, Light Angst, Happy Ending
Summary: When a hunt goes wrong Dean is forced to choose between getting killed by hellhounds or seeking shelter in the Forest of Souls, a forest full of the worst things Purgatory could spit out into the world of humans. Dean’s chances of survival are basically zero but still better than getting torn apart by a hellhound.
He expects the werewolves and the vampire, but nothing could have prepared him for Castiel. He wasn’t like any creature Dean has ever seen before; powerful enough to keep every other monster away from Dean, impervious to monster warding and constantly evolving. Towards what, Dean doesn’t know. But for all his grumpiness, Castiel doesn’t seem to mean Dean any harm.
But what is he? And might Dean make it out alive after all?

Mark of Darkness, Spark of Hope
Author: seidenapfel
Artist: Ephemera
Rating: Explicit
Pairings: Castiel/Dean Winchester
Length: 48056
Warnings: Canon-typical Violence, Temporary Character Death
Tags: Alternate Season/Series 10, Mpreg, Pregnancy with a Nephil Baby, Fluff and Angst and Smut, Angst with a Happy Ending, Demon/MOC Dean, Wing Kink, Castiel Possessing Dean Winchester (consensual), Angel True Form, Angelic Grace Pregnancy
Summary: All it takes is one night in an abandoned warehouse—violent, rough, and perfect. A fallen angel, running low on his stolen Grace and a demon, turned by the Mark that distorts his soul.
It’s a night to remember that one forgets and the other can’t as a spark lights up deep within him. None of it should be possible, and yet, it’s there. Even though he tries to ignore its presence, the spark is slowly growing and burning through the darkness of Dean’s soul.
Everything changes with the cure that Sam forces on Dean. Reunited with Cas, and suddenly human again, there is no way for either of them to deny the truth any longer.
Doomed by the fate that awaits the human mothers of the Nephilim and cursed by the Mark of Cain etched on his soul, Dean’s future looks bleak.
But then again, Dean is neither precisely a mother nor fully human, and Castiel is intent on saving him.
After all, they have months during which Dean carries the growing life inside him to term—an impossible child and a miracle of love between Heaven and Hell.

The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes

Artist: parhelion_ava
Rating: Mature
Pairings: Dean Winchester/Castiel, Dean Winchester/Ruby
Length: 57000
Warnings: N/A
Tags: Drug Use, Addiction, Hospitals, Overdosing, Chronic Illness, Dysfunctional Family, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending
Summary: Dean Winchester has known he was in love with his best friend for a long time. He never planned on saying anything, at least, not until friends and family convinced him otherwise. Only the confession doesn't go as planned: Cas rejects him. Distraught and hurt, he heads to a bar to drink his sorrows away, and upon meeting a woman named Ruby, enters a whole new world. Now battling his broken heart and new substance dependance, he needs to decide what is more important: his (still ever-present and strong) feelings for Cas, or his new found "freedom" with Ruby.
