Dear Virgo by K_K_TiBal [T, 10,000 word count] (#college, #ace!cas, ace!sam)

Dean Winchester is a journalism major planning to coast his last year by mostly just sticking to writing the campus newspaper’s daily horoscopes, and he almost succeeds. Enter Castiel Novak, captain of the soccer team, and his next interview appointment. It’s obvious from the start that there’s something between them, but things don’t quite go as Dean first hopes, and he ends up learning a lot more about Castiel than he ever planned on - luckily for him.

5. Fabulous Five to the rescue!

A Lifetime of After by Casloveshisfreckles [T, 31,000 word count] (#AU, #fluff, #best friends, #teacher!dean, #roommates, #pining!dean, #pining!cas, #crossover, #outside pov, #challenge fic)

The men of Queer Eye have spent two seasons helping people find their confidence, their best selves, and most importantly, their truths. They’re very good at what they do. Meet the Fab Five’s newest Hero: Castiel Novak, game and toy maker, nominated by Dean Winchester, his best friend and roommate. Dean’s plea is simple, help Castiel prepare for the opportunity of a lifetime, a chance at his dream job. An easy assignment, a cake walk even, until the Fab Five find out things even Dean doesn’t know.  A DeanCas Pinefest 2019 fic

(I want to let you know) I’m Inviting You Into My Life by elsalapizza (lamerezouille) [T, 3,700 word count] (#AU, #fluff, #crossover, #pining!dean, #pining!cas, #languages (Russian Cas), #outside pov )

The Fab 5 go to Kansas to help former-military and helpline runner Dean Winchester get out of his funk, and learn that he too deserves to be saved.

Queer Eye for the Hunter Guy by MashiarasDream [T, 15,200 word count] (#SU, #fluff, #bunker, #crossover, #pining!dean, #possessive!cas, #outside pov)

They are semi-retired, no assassinations attempts, no angelic or demonic possessions in a while. But Dean is still gloomy and he’s also still not asking Cas out, and Sam’s just had it. He could try to talk some sense into Dean of course, but that’s never worked all that well. So instead, he does something drastic: He nominates Dean for the fabled Queer Eye makeover. Needless to say that the Fab 5 have their work cut out for them.
