Summary
Since they had become teenagers Kim and Ron’s relationship had the occasional awk-weird moment. Some days Kim felt like she could hit him, others she wanted to kiss him. Then there were some times when she was alone, and she thought about him in more… certain terms. She had resolved to never tell anyone. Ron’s friendship was more important than that.
Loved the awkward tension between Kim and Ron during Season 3 and felt like things could have progressed sooner and steamier than planned. Episode 4 - Bad Boy is where this kicks off.

Summary
Dean Winchester has hunted monsters his entire life. One rogue mage shouldn't be a problem. The bounty is generous. The job should be easy. Dean catches him on a cold night and thinks the hard part is over.
Castiel Novak doesn't expect mercy. He's made his peace with what's waiting for him in the capital. He hasn't made his peace with his failure at Carver's Hollow, but that's a different kind of sentence.
The road to Alderwatch is long. Long enough for Dean to start doubting everything he was sure of. He has hunted things that wanted to kill him, but he's never hunted anything that kept saving his life instead.

Summary
After being blinded as a boy in an act of heroism, Castiel Novak was left with some extra-sensory abilities — abilities which make his lawyer-by-day, vigilante-by-night lifestyle not just possible, but necessary. Known as “the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen” to some, and an avenging angel by others, Castiel has worked hard to balance his two lives while keeping his identity a secret. Sending the criminal kingpin of New York City’s underbelly to prison without killing anyone or blowing his cover was no small feat, but he did — because he believes in God, and he believes in the justice system.
But when another vigilante enters the scene, taking justice into his own hands and threatening to upend everything he’s worked for, Castiel struggles to keep the faith. Even more so when the Kingpin is released from prison and rigs the justice system to his own favor, all but raising the war flag against vigilantes and superheroes.
As it turns out, he and “The Punisher,” Dean Winchester, may have more in common than Cas would like to admit. Over the years, they pull apart and come together, finally working through their hatred and seemingly clashing ideologies to bring the Kingpin down.

Honestly some of the best not-crossover I’ve ever read. Excellent build and exciting rollercoaster

Summary
When Dean Winchester’s friend and neighbor, Garth, moves out of their duplex, he is not expecting him to be replaced with a cranky, weed-smoking recluse with zero taste in music, but that’s what he gets. But Dean soon realizes there is more behind Castiel’s brooding stare and prickly personality. There is someone worth getting to know. Someone who needs a little TLC, even if he is too stubborn to admit it.
Castiel Novak is a survivor. He has survived his parents' tragic death, He has survived being kidnapped and tortured by his own brother, and he has survived living with the constant flow of nightmares that have followed. So Castiel can certainly survive having to live next to an annoyingly cheerful (beautiful) man, with kind green eyes and an unhealthy affinity to classic rock, who is determined to be his new friend.
Or, the one where Castiel starts a friends with benefits relationship with his new neighbor, and finally starts to heal his heart.

Summary
While the ability to overhear the secret thoughts of the people around him was distracting at best and anxiety-inducing at worst, Castiel had found ways to cope that included a pair of noise-canceling headphones and burying himself in his PhD research. After hearing inner thoughts for his entire life, there were very few things he overheard that surprised him anymore. So imagine his shock when his roommate Sam's brother, Dean, came to stay with them. While Dean may have been able to keep a straight face on the outside, his inner thoughts told a much different story.
