The dull hangover of waiting (and that cinnamon heartburn) by mizuirokandeya

Summary
After his father suffers a stroke, Dean moves back to Lawrence to take care of him. Cas stays behind in Boston to continue his PhD. Neither of them is all too happy about it but it’s just for a few months.
Except then it’s suddenly not and their relationship starts to suffer under the distance. Finding time for each other, and not fighting gets more and more difficult. But at least there's Christmas, where Cas visits and Dean becomes very aware of how much he wants to marry him.
Who would have thought that it would only go downhill from there?

Summary
At forty-one, Dr. Castiel Novak is the proud recipient of a generous grant to fund his project on sustainability and urban farming from the Campbell Foundation, a small investing firm based out of Chicago. The night before he meets the award committee, lonely and pushed by his friend Balthazar, Castiel has the best sex of his life during a casual Grindr hook-up with “just-visiting” forty-seven-year-old Dean. Castiel’s life appears to be coming together, until he discovers that Dean is the head of the grant award committee. For the sake of professionalism, Castiel is willing to ignore the intense attraction between the two of them, but Dean turns out to be too tempting to resist.

Summary
Dean's doing fine. He's always late for work, he's not taking care of himself, and he isn't planning on changing that - but seriously, he's fine. Except for one thing: someone's brought back the chili pepper rating system for all of the professors on campus, and Dean isn't rated the hottest. It's Castiel Novak, the guy who's always walking around in terrible sweater vests, who's got the full ten chilis - and that's something Dean does plan to change.

Summary
Dean Winchester is one of the finest circuit riders of his generation, right after his legendary father. He's got the life he loves, with the exception of one thing - one person: his biggest sponsor, Castiel Milton. Despite being a ranch owner, Milton is only interested in one thing, and that's making money, even at the expense of animals past their prime. At least, that's what Dean's animosity has been lead to believe. However, coming face to face with his misunderstanding makes him reevaluate a lot of things, including his feelings for Castiel.
For the Dean/Cas Reverse Bang 2018!

Summary
Up-and-coming rodeo star Dean Winchester has it all: a horse he trusts, a brother he’s proud of, and a job he loves. The only thing missing is someone to share it all with.
At the World Equestrian Games, he finds himself paired with Castiel Novak, the country’s top dressage rider, for a special exhibition. Their challenge: blend Dean’s bold, fast-paced reining with Cas’ elegant, precise dressage, creating a performance that’s equal parts power and poetry. The catch? They have to switch horses to do it.
Between shared laughs, careful corrections, and the occasional lingering glance, the two riders learn that partnership isn’t just about perfecting a routine – it’s about reading subtle cues, trusting instincts, and letting someone in.

"I don't get you," Dean spits. "I don't get what you want. Just — just tell me. I'm a big boy, I can take it."
"I did tell you!" Castiel exclaims. "I told you, and then I died!"
(In which Castiel is rescued from the Empty, Jack gives up the powers of God to be a kid again, and Dean overcompensates.)

Summary
It’s been a few years since Dean’s wife died, and he thought he was mostly doing okay. So it’s a surprise when he ends up sobbing in a parking lot, in the arms of a hot guy he’d been trying to hook up with that night. After that embarrassing incident, he doesn’t think he’ll ever hear from Cas again.
Picture his shock when Cas turns out to be The Rev. Castiel Novak — the brand-new, openly gay pastor of Dean’s congregation in Eudora, Kansas, who is very much interested in asking Dean out.
There’s just one problem: only a small handful of people know that Dean is bisexual. Does he really have it in him to date the most notorious man in town?

Summary
Photographer Dean Winchester just wanted a relaxing, extended vacation in Orlando. He could spend some quality time with his brother, take some human interest photos for his blog, and relax in the sun and the surf, letting his mind focus on something other than his cheating ex-boyfriend. It was looking promising until the news broke at 2:30am on June 12 about a shooting at Pulse nightclub in downtown Orlando.
Vet Tech, Castiel Novak, can barely remember the details of the night his twin brother, Jimmy, died. The loss and devastation all around him sent him into shock. What little he does remember, revolves around Dean Winchester, the beautiful, green-eyed stranger who helped him through what was undeniably the worst night of his life.
When Dean and Cas reconnect after the Pulse tragedy, they both have struggles that need to be worked through. There are some ups and downs along the way, and Dean and Cas need a little push from a fiery red head and a psychic vet, before they come to realize that their new found friendship has more layers than they originally thought. Maybe, love really can win in the end.

The Dangers of Unfriendly Felines and Casual Hook-ups by Featherthief

Summary
Based on the reddit post: "My fuckbuddy is kind to my cat and my cat likes him. I’m starting to have feelings for him because of that."
Castiel's friends think that in order to get over his ex he needs to get under someone else. When he signs up for a dating app, he doesn't expect for his casual sexual encounter to become more than a one time thing. He definitely doesn't expect to start crushing on the guy because the guy was nice to one of his cats.

Summary
Dr. Dean Winchester, professor of Mechanical Engineering, was full of confidence in his own abilities when he decided to purchase a fixer-upper house to rehab and remodel on his own. Now, standing in the middle of his new house and praying the floors won’t cave in, he’s realizing that determination and academic brilliance might only take him so far this time. The bigger problem: his overconfidence in the face of other people’s doubts (ahem, Sam) means that asking for help now will mean swallowing a whole lot of pride…and he’d rather not.
Hiring a secret contractor to do the work without telling anyone seems like the perfect solution.
Accidentally hiring an amazingly hot secret contractor wasn’t part of the plan.
And when Sam overhears a conversation and starts connecting dots, a snap decision and another lie on top the first leads to a ridiculous balancing act of fake stories, pretend relationships, and one hell of a renovation tale.

'Twas the morning after Christmas and to Dean's surprise,
He'd slept with a vampire, with mortified blue eyes...Or, your classic fake-dating Christmas fic where Dean thinks he's straight and Castiel's family won't stop hounding him to get a boyfriend. So, Castiel brings a werewolf home and to absolutely no one's surprise, his vampire family aren't best pleased with his decision.
It would have been less complicated if Castiel hadn't gone and accidentally slept with the annoying werewolf.
Sam absolutely ships it.

Summary
Schemers and dreamers Castiel Novak and Dean Winchester have a love almost as long as their twenty-year friendship—not that they’ve told each other that, of course. Each of them yearns to have it all with their best friend, and both are convinced it’ll never happen. So when watching a reality show about clueless grooms who plan weddings on a budget for their brides without the brides’ input, talk naturally turns to planning weddings. In a terrible (or perhaps wonderful) moment of spontaneous boastfulness, Cas declares that he could plan a wedding for them without a problem, since he knows Dean so well, and in an ill-advised (or perhaps well-advised) challenge, Dean dares him to do it.
Inspired by the British television series Don’t Tell the Bride, Don’t Tell the Groom is a fun romp about the zany lengths these men will go to for love.
