Summary
When a newly human Castiel returns to the bunker after the April incident, Dean decides to shoot his shot, admitting he’s been in love with him for years but never thought an angel could return his feelings. As it turns out, Castiel feels the same way, so Dean decides to give him the sexual experience he should have had for his first time—one where he is worshipped.
In other words, Ezekiel/Gadreel isn’t a great big bag of dicks and Castiel stays in the bunker like he fucking should have in canon!...but with porn.

When Dean was a teenager, he met Castiel Novak on a family vacation. The pair formed a fast friendship, which came to an abrupt end when Castiel confessed romantic feelings and Dean told him he didn’t feel the same way.

Summary
Cowboys from all over the American West travel to Abilene, Texas, just to get a taste of Dean Winchester, one of the only—and best—male prostitutes out there, and he makes good money from them, too. Unfortunately, most of that money goes toward his family, who he’s not even allowed to see on account of his no-good piece of shit daddy who kicked him out.
When tenderfoot cowboy Castiel rides into town, Dean starts to crave something he hasn’t had in a long while— a real home.
Together, Dean and Castiel have to navigate the inhospitable world of the American West, and discover for themselves what family means, when family pushes you away.

Summary
After a decade-and-a-half of living in each other’s pockets, touring in cramped vans, and writing songs in cheap motel rooms, bandmates Dean Winchester and Castiel Novak have mastered the art of Not Talking About It while letting the music say what they can’t. They’ve spent years blurring the lines between best friends and soulmates, pouring their tangled emotions into tracks that fans scream back at them.
But their latest tour is a different beast. With sold-out venues, media scrutiny, and the suffocating proximity of life on the road, the tension is at a breaking point. As the tour rolls on, resisting the pull becomes impossible. One late night, one too-close-to-the-bone song, and one reckless touch will force them to confront their feelings, risking the band they built for the love they’ve always suppressed.

Take Off Your Father's Jacket (It Never Fit You Anyway) by Wow_thisiswheremylifeis

Summary
“It’s okay to be soft, Dean.” Cas murmured, like it was something easy, like Cas knew how to put everything down for a second and just yearn.
Dean didn’t know how to be soft. He’d never been one to cuddle, he’d rather die than use floral smelling lotion on his hands, and he never put sugar in his coffee.
His whole life he’d been rough around the edges and overly masculine to survive. He’d made up for his pretty face and long lashes by wearing a leather jacket that smelled like gunpowder and his father’s whiskey, with pockets that were too, too heavy with sins he’d commit again to keep his brother safe.
How would he even begin to allow himself to want–and reach out for what he wants?
Dean sighed. “I uh–It doesn’t come easy to me.”
Castiel shrugged like he already knew, like Dean wasn’t the one who still wore his Dad’s leather jacket, hoping it was enough, hoping he was enough.
Cas leaned into him, his back to Dean's front. “It’s easier than you think.”Or when Dean’s weird, bee-loving, friend Castiel winds his way into Dean’s bed (even though Dean is not gay), and Dean finds himself wanting things more than ever, wanting things he can’t have, wanting things that he’ll never earn.
