Summary
Mild AU for s05e14 My Bloody Valentine:
His vessel was starving. No matter how many burgers Castiel ate, he couldn’t get full.
There was something else too. A drive inside of him, a hunger that wasn’t physical. It was a hunger that was growing below his stomach, an ache that he needed to fill.
What was this feeling? Castiel had never felt anything like it before.
That was a lie. He was pretty sure he knew what it was. It was lust. It was lust for a certain green-eyed man who Cass wanted to devour.

Summary
-
Dean can't allow himself the luxury of getting attached.
So when he spends the best night of his life with a man who calls himself Emmanuel, he knows right away that nothing more will ever come of it. It doesn't even matter that Dean's unable to really forget the guy many weeks and months later, that is just the life.
But then Sam ends up cursed on a hunt and after a long and ultimately futile search they find themselves with only one option left to save him: the healing abilities of an angel.
Namely, the Fallen One.
Castiel.
Dean's never heard of the guy before, but if he's really capable of curing his brother, so be it.
He is in for a rather big surprise, though, when he suddenly sees himself confronted with a very familiar face and soon enough his life is turned upside down in a fairly inconvenient manner.
+
(In which Dean realizes he slept with an angel of the freaking Lord, has a major freak-out about it, and then, to his own chagrin, can't stop thinking about doing it all over again as he and his cursed brother end up cohabiting with the angel in question.)
(Great.)

Summary
Dean Winchester is a midwestern farm boy turned country music icon. Castiel Novak is a rising star pushing the boundaries of the genre, his fame reaching new heights. Despite never having met him, Dean hates Castiel completely, and one of those reasons is definitely not because Castiel is the hottest man on the planet. Nope.

Summary
Life has a way of throwing you off your intended path. For Dean, falling for a stranger with sharp eyes and a secret was a rare moment of selfishness. For Cas, that same moment offered salvation from a pre decided life plan. Nothing about the two of them together makes sense, and the timing couldn’t possibly be worse.
But love carves it’s own path.

Summary
Dean Winchester’s college years felt like the greatest of his life: School came easy, he was the starting first baseman for the KU Jayhawks and he was in love with the smartest, nerdiest, hottest guy in school, who also happened to be his roommate. They were the definition of Relationship Goals. Until they weren't. Until Cas left.
If you asked Castiel Novak why he was back in Lawrence after 10 years, he'd tell you it was because of a great job opportunity. If you knew Castiel, you'd know it was because of Dean Winchester. But Dean had moved on, successfully running his bar, brewing his own beer, tattooed and still the most gorgeous man Castiel had ever laid eyes on. Oh and? He was taken.
Dean wants to, but forgiving Cas isn't easy, and finding their way back to each other after all this time is like searching for a hand in the dark. Sometimes, ten years is ten years too late.
