Summary
Dean figures that if Bert and Ernie can be... "Bert and Ernie" and not share a bed, then he and Cas should be able to figure this out.
Cas is back from the Empty. Maybe, with a little understanding, the confession doesn't have to change much.
Much changes anyways.
Or: Dean and Cas try for a queerplatonic relationship but Dean forgets the platonic part somewhere along the way.

Summary
Dean Winchester’s been camp manager of a science research station on the Alaskan tundra for thirteen years. Dean likes his job; fixing the camp trucks, troubleshooting the generators, keeping clueless undergrads and NSF bigwigs from walking into grizzly bears or getting lost in snowstorms — it’s all in a day’s work. It keeps him pretty busy, and this year his brother Sam's visiting too, so he's even busier. So it’s really not any of Dean’s business when some weirdo antisocial ornithologist sets up a tent a few miles away, a dark-haired blue-eyed guy who’s doing a “very long-term" study on birds or wings or something, and who never, ever takes off his big lumpy backpack. But then the new guy starts dropping by camp for coffee and... well, he’s not officially part of camp; he's not Dean’s responsibility; he’s really not Dean’s problem at all, but when a strange blizzard comes sweeping in, Dean gets worried and goes to check. Thing is, Dean's spent years in the sweeping vistas of the Arctic. He knows all about the midnight sun and the northern lights, the ice caves and avalanches, the rough-and-ready Haul Road truckers and the even rougher-and-readier wild animals. But even so, what he finds is much more than he bargained for.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is an absolute page turner, and reminds me of all the years of watching and reading about the far north, whether it me Northern Exposure, Mrs. mike, under Nushagak bluff,listening to the into the wild soundtrack on loop, or even moms tales of living in Fairbanks.
Dean and cas are well characterized, the setting is gorgeous and integral to the story, and the AU being an actual parallel is brilliantly executed and not too heavy handed nor blindsiding. Very well done.

The Least Bad Option

Summary:

To complicate matters further for best-man Dean, Sam and Castiel’s wedding has been relocated to a tropical destination on the other side of the world.Definitely some angst to work through, but cute in the end. Amazing how a dramatic setting then forced isolation can bring a couple of idiots together

Summary
Castiel belongs to a brotherhood of monks that worships the Light, a powerful deity standing in opposition to the Darkness. All his life, Castiel has been taught that witches worship the Darkness and are therefore the brotherhood’s natural enemies. Never mind the fact that the only witch Castiel has ever met is Dean Winchester, who was kind to Castiel when he needed help and has been the subject of Castiel’s most carefully hidden dreams ever since.
One day, a foundling child turns up on the brotherhood’s doorstep and is entrusted to Castiel’s care. When the child, Jack, begins to display signs of magical powers, Castiel knows what he must do: leave the brotherhood behind and trust that Dean will help him once more.

Summary
Castiel Novak is twenty-six years old when he's killed in the Civil War. The first soul to be laid to rest in the grounds of the new Lawrence Memorial Cemetery, his spirit remains in a liminal space—not in the living world, but not passing on, forever tasked with helping other spirits to go where he cannot.
His vigil over the grounds of his cemetery is a long and lonely one, unable to interact with anyone who still remains in the land of the living.
Until he meets Dean Winchester.
