Summary
Dean Winchester never expected much from life. His mother abandoned her sons to be raised by their drunk, abusive father. Dean dropped out of school to take care of the family, but they were barely getting by, so when a handsome stranger came along, offering him a way out... Well, even if things weren’t perfect, he wasn’t going to risk losing a good thing.
So what if Lee was a mean drunk — it wasn’t anything Dean hadn’t seen from his father his whole life. So what if sometimes he was a bit too rough — Dean’s tough, he can take it. And so what, if sometimes things got a bit out of hand when Lee’s friends came around — Lee doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, sometimes he asks Dean to ‘take care of them’. (It was fine. It was all fine.)
Enter grad student Castiel, who is instantly intrigued by the kind, quiet mechanic with the sad eyes. The more he gets to know Dean, the more he learns about his heartbreaking past and even more heartbreaking present, the more he feels like he’s fallen into something he can’t walk away from.
Dean doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved, because he never thought to ask. Can Castiel be the one to pull him out of hell?
Title inspired by: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

Summary
Sam makes one last deal.
Cas comes back. And Dean gets him back. And together they get something.
Something about humanity, about living even when it hurts, especially because it hurts. About building a home for loss inside your chest, and making your heart a place where the dead live when they die. About being selfish, about belonging, about deserving both. About choice, and a life lived, and learning to lay down arms so that your hands might hold something softer.

Summary
Dean is in his last year of college and struggling to write his thesis paper. None of his professors have available office hours, so he's forced to either do it himself or accept help from an uptight English professor with impossibly blue eyes and a non-existent sense of humor.
Cas hates giving up his office hours to people who aren't his students. He also hates people who can't show up on time. So when Dean Winchester shows up to their meeting ten minutes late with a cup of coffee and a cocky attitude, Cas isn't pleased. But the topic of Dean's thesis paper is interesting enough that Cas is willing to put up with his harmless flirting.

For two years, Dean’s been slaving away beneath his boss – many label him a secretary, but he fucking hates that and feels like it only applies to someone wearing a pencil skirt, so he insists on his title of Executive Assistant. And for what? In the vain hope that one day he’ll manage to become an editor for Sandover Publishing, and that he’ll see the manuscript that he’s slaved over since college finally realized in print.
That’s the dream, anyway.
Right now, he’s fucking late.
Dean wants to be an editor. Castiel just wants to stay in the country.

New bakery.
New ice cream flavor.
Cherry pie gelato.
Yeah, Dean needs that and it's soooo good he just has to share his kudos.
But...

Summary
At some point in every angel's life, raising a fledgling is required. Castiel's turn comes rather unexpectedly when his superiors hand off a newly created infant angel to him and leave him to raise it with all of Heaven's principles of blind obedience. He's not sure what to do, so he tucks the fledgling in his coat and goes straight to Dean and Sam Winchester. Together, Dean and Castiel hatch a plan to raise the fledgling away from Heaven's control. And soon, the angel Hael arrives with news that, after Castiel disappeared, she and four other angels ran from Heaven's oppression with their fledglings. Castiel finds himself the unwitting ringleader of angels choosing to raise their fledglings with the principles of free will. Is angelic parenthood too much for his deepening relationship with Dean? Who can they really trust? (Disclaimer: This story depicts fledglings consuming honey for the nourishment of their undeveloped graces. Human babies cannot consume honey, so please do not feed it to your infants. This is fiction.)

Summary
Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.
“Hi, Jody,” Sam says.
“Howdy, boys.” She asks them to take over a case. Something about werewolves. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun in months, not since their last hunt.
Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”
Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”
Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”

Being a guard dog sure as fuck isn’t Dean’s idea of a good time. Guarding Boss’ niece’s new husband should probably feel like an honor but all Dean can think about is how goddamn boring it’s going to be. Until he really starts talking to Cas, that is.
Or,
The one where Castiel thought his arranged marriage to Amara would mean he would never find love.
