Summary: Due to a romantic-comedy level booking blunder, grumpy stress-case Dean and reclusive writer Castiel end up shuttled off to the same remote cabin for two weeks, and nobody seems to care that neither of them wants to be there. But since they’re stuck in the same cabin for the duration of their vacation, they might as well play nice and make the best of it right?Wrong.Dean’s so stressed out he can’t sit still, Cas can’t boil water without setting the place on fire, and they’re so on each other’s nerves it’ll be a miracle if either of them survives until their rides home arrive.At least the tension is just social, and not sexual, right? Right?

Summary:  Dean is a sheriff in a tiny town in Colorado, restless and unsatisfied with his life. It's not what he's read about in the dime novels since he was little, capturing dangerous outlaws and being the last word of the law. More like tossing the town drunk in a cell to sober up when he gets a little too rowdy. But his chance comes when a thief rolls through their town. Dean pursues the thief, and that puts him right into the path of Emmanuel, a notorious outlaw. When he's captured by the outlaw and his gang to be held for ransom, he starts off on a journey he could have never envisioned, and learns that perhaps there's more to Emmanuel than meets the eye.

Summary:  Cas Novak hosts a popular radio show, entertaining hunters with his psychic powers. But, in a world where monster-hunting is commonplace, he harbours a powerful secret: he’s not human, but an angel, surviving in a society unsympathetic to his kind. For six years, Cas has read out news stories describing a particularly impressive man: Dean Winchester, distinguished hunter and accidental prophet of God. Not by chance, Cas meets Dean at a sunny autumn carnival, where Dean’s taken a job at a kissing booth. One kiss - perhaps two - and they’re already old friends, sharing fairground food, a carousel ride, another kiss on the ferris wheel... Finally, safe in the tent Dean shares with his brother, Castiel feels comfortable enough to reveal those unknown pieces of himself. But come morning, bigger events separate the trio: an ancient beast is waking up, and a fearful world desperately needs to be united. Now Castiel has a reason to confess his true nature, broadcasting live on Hunter Radio. Of course, Dean is listening. And it’s only a matter of time before he replies.

Legacies by Dogsled

Rating: Explicit

Word count: 33,813

Summary: Dean Winchester had never known anything else. Growing up as a Man of Letters just as his father and grandfather did before him, Dean was aware from a young age the responsibilities shouldered both by himself and his brother, each destined to one day become the vessels to archangels, and fulfil a prophecy as old as Creation itself. He isn’t happy about it, but then who would be? His father is consumed by the loss of his wife, and Sam is a willing participant in preparations for the oncoming Apocalypse, thrilled by the power of the demon blood that Dean is certain must be corrupting him far deeper than anyone can know.And then there’s the angel. Captured in Maine on the 23rd April 1901, the dazzling and beautiful Castiel influences three generations of Winchesters, and in perhaps unlikely circumstances, alters the path of each of their fates.Legacies is told from Henry, John and Dean’s POVs, and runs canon-adjacent to seasons 1-5, telling an alternate timeline story where, ultimately, fate is unavoidable no matter how stark the changes. More importantly it is a romance with a moral, that attraction is rarely ever just skin deep, and that when it comes right down to it? Love is love.
