"The Spirit of Radio"

Author: sidewinder @hawkland Artist: @mercurialkitty

Rating: Mature Archive warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Length: 32,000 words Tags: Alternative Universe - Human, Radio Host Dean Winchester, Flirting, Angels are Dicks (even when they're not angels), Songfic (in a way) Relationships: Dean/Castiel

Summary: What happens when corporate, satellite radio and a small town disc jockey collide?

Angel Radio needs a new hero. That is, they need a new DJ to anchor their classic rock channel, and Dean Winchester of Sioux Falls, South Dakota just might be the man for the job. That's the directive Castiel receives from his boss, Naomi: recruit Dean to leave his morning shift at KARZ and move to the Los Angeles, where a more lucrative career in broadcasting could await him.

But Dean's not sure he can leave his friends and found family behind—not even when Castiel shows up looking like someone who could light his fire, and the attraction is entirely mutual.

"as we go"

Author: dothraki_shieldmaiden @dothwrites Artist: kcho @marsajar

Rating: Explicit Archive warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Length: 68,000 words Tags: Fantasy, sellsword!Dean, sacrifice!Castiel, Slow Burn, Strangers to Lovers Relationships: Dean/Castiel

Summary: The angels disappeared from the world thirty years ago. That’s why, when they choose the Aquarian Star to escort a garrison to Stull, Dean is suspicious. But a job is a job, and he needs money to put Sam through the prestigious Academy, so he goes along with the job. The job, however, becomes more difficult when Dean starts to become suspicious of what cargo the angels are really carrying to Stull. And further investigation proves that he is correct: the angels’ cargo is a person.

Forbidden from making any kind of contact, Dean nonetheless tirelessly investigates the mystery behind the angels’ mission as well as that of their cargo — a man named Castiel.

Summary: Everyone knows that Detective Dean Winchester doesn't like androids. So when he's partnered up with one — the advanced prototype LR400 "Castiel" — he figures someone has it out for him. As the duo track rogue androids through the slums and suburbs of Detroit to solve the mystery of what made them deviants, Castiel starts to question everything he ever believed and Dean starts to realize his sarcastic, reckless, blue-blooded partner may be the most important person in his life.

Summary: In a struggling, rusty city alongside the River Styx, jaded magical tattoo artist Dean meets passionate, hopeful florist Castiel. Over the river lies Avarice, the City of Greed. For some, it’s a curse; for others, a way out.

Dean already lost his brother to the powerful demi-gods who fill Avarice with souls. When his fear and cynicism pushes Castiel over the bridge too, will he find the hope he needs to bring him home?

Summary: In the state of Washington, under a near-constant cover of clouds and rain, lies a small town named Forks. Apparently, it’s Dean’s home for the next six months. Great. Just when they’re close to finding Mary’s killer, John benches Dean to bumfuck nowhere, giving him one rule: look after Sammy.

When Dean enrolls Sam in the local high school, he has a strange encounter with one of Sam’s teachers, Mr. Castiel Novak. The man’s erratic behavior makes Dean wonder if maybe this is a hunt and there are, in fact, supernatural monsters in Forks. But as Dean gets closer to Cas, he finds himself unnaturally drawn to him. When Cas saves his life from a runaway van, leaving behind a large imprint that looks oddly like wings, Dean’s defenses start to crumble, and before he knows it, he’s falling hard and fast for the creature he should be hunting.

Rating: Mature Archive warnings: Major Character Death Length: 61,178 words Tags: Viking Dean Winchester, Magic, slow burn, Dean Winchester has trust issues, Character Death outside of Castiel or Dean Winchester Relationships: Dean/Castiel

Summary: Injured and separated from his clan, Dean stumbles upon a man living in isolation by the name of Castiel, whose only company are creatures named the Oakheart’s.

Certain that trusting Castiel will be his downfall Dean goes about his recovery days being constantly on guard and vigilant of the man he barely knows who has taken him in. And with each passing day he gains more questions than he does answers. Who is Castiel? Why has he secluded himself away from other people? And furthermore, why does he cause such confusing feelings within Dean?

Summary: Journalist Castiel Novak's love life is a complete mess. Dean Winchester is the poster boy for booze, sex, and rock'n'roll. A decade ago, while working at Les Troubadours, they fell in love; however, after Dean's band opened for Vince Vincente, a disagreement and misunderstandings caused a bitter split. Their paths haven't crossed since. What happens now Dean's about to go solo and Castiel, under a pen name, has to interview him for Rock SoundZ magazine? How is any of this relevant to Fergus MacLeod (AKA: Crowley) Dean's manager?

Rating: Explicit Archive warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence Length: 45,000 words Tags: AU - Dystopia; Based on Mad Max: Fury Road; Angel Castiel; Badass Garth Fitzgerald IV, Road Trip (Of Doom) Relationships: Dean/Castiel, Minor Garth/Bess, Minor Meg/Charlie

Summary: Dean drives the war rig across the Wastes, once known as Kansas. He's brought in, and brought down, more monsters than anyone else in the Bunker.

But he's starting to realize that the real monsters aren't the ones with fangs, claws, or a taste for hearts.

Maybe he's not as obedient as everyone thinks.

Castiel is Fallen, and in chains. His wings are broken, harvested of his grace. He might be a little mad.

But being a little mad might be the only way he survives.

It might be the only way they all survive.

Rating: Explicit Archive warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Length: 42,219 words Tags: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Hallmark AU, neurodivergent Dean, friends to lovers, misunderstandings, happy ending Relationships: Dean/Castiel

Summary: MIT grad Dean Winchester is desperately trying to keep his late father’s garage from sinking, moonlighting as a bartender to pay the bills. He’s helping Ellen out again when his high school crush walks through the doors.

Castiel Novak owns a prestigious aviation company, and is only home for the holidays – begrudgingly at that. The last thing he expects when he walks into the small-town bar is to fall in love with the bartender.

Heightened emotions and holiday dread bring the two men close together, but will it be enough? Can they really make it last, or is Cas just his for the holidays?

Rating: Explicit Archive warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Length: 21,000 words Tags: Human AU, firefighter Dean, detective Cas, mutual pining, fire investigation Relationships: Dean/Castiel, past Castiel/April Kelly, background Charlie/Dorothy, background Jody/Donna

It's a bigger perk than ever when he gets to know one of the other calendar models: Castiel, a detective who assists in fire investigations. Castiel has just moved into town in the aftermath of a messy breakup, and all he wants is to find some new friends and settle down in his new community. Despite a few hiccups at the start of the road, they begin to build a friendship that has the potential to grow into more.

But Castiel's past is about to come back to haunt him, and it’s going to do its best to try and stop Castiel from building the future he wants.
