Like most terrible things in the world, this is Gabriel’s fault.
And maybe Eileen’s, and Sam’s. Fact is, Charlie’s getting married. Which of course Dean would be over the moon about, despite his objection to all things romantic—but this means spending a week with his least favorite person on the planet, his sparring partner in crime, Castiel, both of them united in only one thing—their scorn for love.
So when Gabriel has the bright idea of getting the two anti-lovebirds together, the whole gang is in on the idea. But as the week progresses and things get more and more complicated, they realize that perhaps not all is fair in love and war.
A Shakespeare AU starring Dean and Cas.
Picture your typical rom-com cliché. Now picture Dean stuck in that rom-com cliché. With Castiel. Because that's what happening to him - a crazy whirlwind of your typical-and-not-so-typical cliché's. He's playing the main lead in all of them and Castiel's his counterpart. Of course, the culprit is obvious. Gabe's enjoying himself too much, lying back on his favourite cloud with a tub of salted popcorn. It was about time someone kicked the two knuckleheads into gear. "And... ACTION!"
Dean’s not very keen on explaining he doesn’t want to go on a date with Anna’s brother because he’s smitten—and he hates, hates, hates using the word smitten—with a dark-haired stranger whose name he doesn’t know.
Castiel loves working in the library, except for the boring parts. When a string of complicated and entertaining questions begin to flow into his email box, courtesy of the 'Ask-A-Librarian' reference service, he finds his boredom vanishing and being replaced with an increasing curiosity to learn who's behind them.
Police Officer Dean Winchester’s younger brother Sam and his best friend Charlie Bradbury have had enough of watching him pine over his best friend, roommate, and partner on the force, Castiel. Especially when it’s so obvious to everyone but the two of them that the feeling is mutual. Subtle hints and encouragement just aren’t cutting it anymore. Now, it’s time to get drastic. It’s time… for Disney.
Castiel Novak loves his daughter, Grace, with all his heart. When their dark past threatens to catch up with them, the pair is forced to make an escape from Boston and move to rural Lawrence, Kansas. Grace is enrolled in Mr. Dean Winchester’s second grade class, and things go smoothly. But are there surprises ahead of them? Can Cas keep his small family together? He sure hopes so.
Divorced and working hard for a promotion, Dean Winchester is tired of coming home to an empty apartment. He wants someone to love and care for, someone who will love him back and understand him. On a whim, Dean decides to request a cupid. Some fluffy cherub can handle finding his soulmate while he works, but he get’s more than he bargained for when Castiel shows up at his door.
Sam is finally starting to figure out why Dean and Cas are so intense around each other. It makes sense, really. Granted, nothing is going to come of the longing glances and secret pining unless somebody does something. Sam takes it upon himself to do that something. Buy as it turns out, getting Dean and Cas together is more difficult than he imagines. When the case they're working-- a creature straight out of the Lord of the Rings-- reminds him of a good friend, Sam decides to call in the big guns. Charlie shows up to help with operation Destiel.
When Sam Winchester prays for his brother, Castiel is finally sent on his very first assignment. But what should be a simple love match turns into much more and Castiel finds himself risking everything to ensure the happiness of his extremely frustrating charge.
The Men of Letters Bunker has had quite enough of Dean pining for Castiel, and it decides to intervene. To be fair, the Bunker interferes a lot, and usually for good reason. For example when it vanished the big garage doors, it prevented Dean from taking Baby out with clogged catalytic converters, saving her from spontaneously setting on fire halfway down the road. And when he and Sam ran out of room to manspread into, an entire extra floor appeared as if by magic.
This time, it's locked Dean and Castiel inside Cas' room, which is great as long as they have plenty of episodes of Stranger Things left to watch, and the Bunker has some conditions if it's going to let them back out--Dean has to confess his feelings.
Which he does.
And then one thing leads to another...
Stranger Things and Eldritch Bunkers is a humorous take on the Trapped in an Elevator trope, with a little bit of One Room, One Bed mixed in.
