“I think we should have a garden,” Cas says.
Dean looks up from his beer. He hasn’t had that much to drink, but Cas still has a vague look of unreality about him, a splash of living color that doesn’t fit in the bunker’s echoing stillness. Dean didn’t hear him coming. A lot of the time, Cas is so unobtrusive it feels like Dean has the bunker to himself, with Sam away.
Dean shakes his head to clear it. “A — garden?” he repeats.
The world is ending. Maybe. If it ever gets around to it. The team that's supposed to save it? One vessel of Michael who can't stop lusting after his kind-of-human best friend, one vessel of Lucifer determined to better the world via feminism, health food, and docu-dramas, and one fallen angel who still can't turn the shower on without help. So yeah, things aren't really looking so hot for Team Free Will or, you know, the entire human race; and it would be a whole lot easier for Dean to hold it together if his dumb little brother would get his priorities sorted out enough to stop trying to give him sex tips. Set mid-season 5.
AU. A sailor and an enemy pirate are marooned on an island together, and while awaiting rescue they accidentally achieve domestic bliss.
Or:
Dean Winchester is lieutenant of the Royal Trading Ship Echelon. On a pleasantly sunny but particularly catastrophic day, he is marooned on an island somewhere in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with only one man for company. That man is Castiel, captain of the black-sailed Leviathan: a pirate, no less. Given the circumstances under which they are stranded, rescue seems unlikely, and it could be aeons before a ship even comes by. The two of them may as well make the most of their own private island, personal differences be damned.
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.
The Cosmopolitan magazine article told Cas he could get Dean to fall in love with him in five steps. Will it work?
When one of his first hunts after becoming human again ends in injury, Castiel is faced with the helplessness of his mortality. Through it all Dean is a constant presence at his side, ever the attentive caregiver, which only serves to increase the tension growing between them.
When Castiel wakes up in a strange world married to Dean, he thinks it may be Chuck showing him a version of the future. As days pass he quickly learns he's trapped there with a version of Dean similar to the real one, but jarringly different at the same time. Once he escapes, Cas grapples with the consequences of keeping what he saw a secret or telling Dean the truth.
It’s been a week since Michael was defeated and Dean freed, but Castiel can’t seem to get back on the horse. Dean, on the other hand appears to have bounced back completely, with one small exception: he no longer dares touch the now-human Cas at all.
When they receive a call from Jesse and Cesar to come investigate a series of mysterious drownings near their New Mexico ranch, Dean jumps on the job, much to Cas and Sam’s dismay. But more challenging than the kelpie they encounter, Jesse and Cesar’s relationship holds up a mirror, showing Dean and Cas the future they wish they could have. When Rowena and Charlie get involved, a shake-up is inevitable.
Castiel’s favourite memories are of childhood summers spent at his Aunt Amara’s cottage in the small town of Angel Lake, until a falling out between his father and his aunt put a stop to the visits. So, when the opportunity arises to move there and take over from a local beekeeper, he jumps at the chance. He’s even more pleased to discover that Dean, his childhood friend and first crush, is still in town and eager to resume their friendship, even after Cas comes out to him. It’s a pity Dean is straight. Dean’s as attractive as ever, but while he tries to be supportive, it’s clear to Cas that a part of him is still uncomfortable with Cas’s sexuality.
Dean’s life didn’t end up where he expected, but he loves it in Angel Lake. He’s thrilled when Cas comes back, this time for good. It’s too bad that Cas just politely ignores Dean’s attempts at flirtation. Just because Cas was Dean’s bi awakening, it doesn’t mean he wants to tie himself to Dean in return.
Thirteen years ago, Dean, with Cas by his side, bought the run-down Pine Shores Motel, and made it into a home and a stopping place for hunters. In those thirteen years, he has never been able to bring himself to admit his feelings to Cas—after all, why rock the boat? But, Dean realizes, doesn’t Cas deserve more than just growing old in a shabby motel with Dean? Surely, as a good friend, it’s Dean’s job to encourage Cas to get out there and live his dreams.
