#ace!castiel

Hey!

Maybe one of these?

Aces and Pros by twowritehands

Dean is a porn star. Cas is ace, but he does enjoy masturbating and is Dean's #1 fan.

Just Your Heart, In Exchange For Mine by noxsoulmate

Dean owns a bakery and Castiel loves his pie. This could be such a cute little bakery love story – if it weren’t for the fact that one was a retired hunter and the other one a powerful witch. There’s also the matter of the black little cat Dean finds in front of his bakery one cold and rainy night. Not to forget the crazy witch on the loose, ripping out other witches’ hearts.

“I told you that I’m asexual,” Cas says, “and that’s true, but I’ve always understood myself to be more gray-asexual than purely asexual. That means --” “I know what it means,” Dean says, letting out the breath he was holding. “I haven’t been attracted to someone in so long, the distinction no longer seemed to be relevant.” “Nothing can change the way I feel about you,” Dean says. “Nothing.” Cas looks down at his hands. “Sometimes I think I may be attracted to you.”

Preacher Comfort by almaasi

Dean Winchester works as a nurse at an after-hours medical clinic. He's a champion at what he does, but for him, professionalism has its pitfalls: good-looking patients make him flustered. Luckily, his fly-by-night infatuation evaporates within minutes, since most patients only swing by once. Castiel (fondly known as Bee Sting Guy around the clinic) is one of those iniquitously handsome fellows – and he keeps coming back. He's also a Catholic priest, 94% asexual, and in need of the tender love that happens to be Dean's speciality.

In this one Cas isn't asexual but the rest is exactly like you described (His first time experimenting with different things and Dean being super understanding and patient and caring about it. And a really sweet fic):

Part 8

Checked Out by whelvenwings [General, 27K, Demi!Cas]

Castiel Novak can think of many writers who would not be welcome under the roof of Heaven’s Gate library, where he is the librarian: Ayn Rand ranks highly (no explanation needed), as does Charles Dickens (he hasn’t forgiven Charles for the month he lost to The Pickwick Papers). And, of course, Dean Winchester. Dean Winchester, local author and obvious a-hole, who is entirely too handsome to be true and who is clearly totally lacking in profundity, intelligence, sincerity, and self-awareness. Unfortunately, though, Dean’s been invited to do a book signing at Heaven’s Gate - and Castiel’s about to be confronted by some unexpected feelings when he finally meets Dean for the first time.

space(dust) & fine metals by quillquiver [Explicit, 5K, Ace!Cas]

Castiel wonders, often, if his blue blood is not just as tainted; only a wild thing groomed to tame a wild people would flee. And flee, he did. The ship was called Impala, its purpose mysterious enough for its mechanic-cum-captain to take one look at the offered credits and nod. Or, On their eighteenth anniversary, Dean and Castiel retrace their steps.

Unbroken by SailorChibi [Teen, 3K, Aro!Dean, Aro&Ace!Cas]

Somewhere on your body, there's half of a shape that's unique to you and one other person on Earth. That person is your soul mate and together, you make a whole. But then there's the people like Castiel, the ones who are born with a whole shape, the freaks who don't have soul mates. Castiel grew up used to the pitying stares that told him he would always be alone. He's not sure why he thought Dean Winchester would be different, or why he had to ruin everything by trying to prove otherwise.

rejoining by sharkfish [Mature, 8,6K, Ace!Dean]

“You moved an alpha in and didn’t even think to ask me?!" “I didn’t ask you when I moved Charlie in.” “I didn’t live here then, jackass. And she’s a lesbian, so it doesn’t count.” “I thought it would be a little rude to ask Castiel his sexual orientation,” Sam says, being a fucking priss. “Maybe he’s straight.”

As You Walk On By by MercyBraavos [Explicit, 23K, Demi!Cas]

Dean and Castiel grew up together. Fell in love together. Lost their virginity together. Made plans for the future, their future, together. There’s only one problem: Castiel doesn’t remember any of it.

Plain and Tall by destielpasta & mtothedestiel [Explicit, 69K, Demi!Dean]

Dean is a Kansas farmer who only wants to work his land and care for his infant daughter. With his wife gone and his brother moving on to a life beyond the homestead, Dean finds himself in need of another pair of hands. Castiel, a lonely drifter freshly arrived in town, may prove the solution to Dean’s troubles. Over the course of four seasons, the two men face the everyday challenges of prairie life, and learn to overcome the betrayals of their past to discover a new definition of family.

Part 7

We're the New Romantics by almaasi [Teen, 8K, Aro!Cas]

“He’s so pretentious.” “Who is?” “Castiel.” Dean sneered as he said the name. “Look at him. He only brought one bag, and it’s tiny. And orange.” “Maybe he doesn’t like carrying a lot of stuff,” Charlie said, shouldering her own rainbow-coloured weekender bag, leading Dean out of the crowd and towards the picnic benches. “Gifted-and-Talented Summer Camp is only four days. A change of clothes and a toothbrush, that’s all most people need.” “What about when he sleeps? Doesn’t he at least need a pair of jammies? And that freaking nose ring. Seriously, he looks like a bull. I wonder if anyone’s ever told him.”

The Graveyard Shift by PurgatoryJar & riseofthefallenone [Explicit, 620K, Demi!Cas]

Dean’s favourite coffee shop, The Graveyard Shift, is only open after the sun goes down. Which is perfect for him, because that’s exactly when he craves coffee the most while doing the overnight at the fire hall. The coffee shop’s owner is pretty perfect too, but it’s kind of a bummer that Dean never gets to see Cas during the day. In a world where the supernatural live more or less in peace with the rest of humanity, it’s a little impolite to ask Cas just what he really is - or what his dark past entails.

hold me (just for tonight) by kitmistry [Teen, 1,5K, Ace!Cas]

Parties are always fun, and they come with the best tips.

Moonflower by K_K_TiBal [Teen, 18K, Ace!Cas]

Castiel is not a very good witch. He's just not. He struggles with potions, illusions, divination - everything that makes a witch respectable, and his familiar - Dean - definitely deserves better than him. When Dean falls under a curse that seems to affect his shape-shifting abilities, Castiel and Dean begin to run out of money, and Castiel decides the best thing they can do is go after a rare Moonflower to help get themselves back on their feet. The journey could be dangerous, especially considering Castiel's less-than-ideal abilities and Dean's curse, but with a little luck, it will all be worth it in the end.

Easy by mnwood [General, 911, Aro!Dean]

When Cas comes back from the Empty, it takes Dean some time to adjust.

Coming to Terms by Unforth [Explicit, 169K, Aro!Dean]

Naomi Novak has laid out her son's entire life. Castiel Novak-Shurley must get a great education, focus on business, ignore frivolous things, attend Harvard Business School, become an investment banker at International Angel Deposit Bank, maintain his virtue, marry a proper beta or omega, and make lots of alpha babies. Even when fitting her expectations was difficult for him, Castiel has done his best to comply. Until now. His mother is arranging a marriage for him - he doesn't know to whom, but he knows it's happening, and soon - and before he ties the knot (figuratively and literally) Castiel wants to have an experience all his own: he wants to bottom for an alpha. Nervous, terrified, Castiel goes to Palmeton’s red light district and hires Jensen, a gorgeous young alpha prostitute who smells like fresh-cut grass and sunshine and lemonade. With Jensen, Castiel finds the courage to ask for what he wants. Being knotted is amazing. Castiel’s not an omega, but…but being with Jensen - who's real name turns out to be Dean - is everything Castiel has dreamed of. And now he has to figure out: how is he supposed to go the rest of his life without experiencing that again?

Part 6

Just Your Heart, In Exchange For Mine by noxsoulmate [Mature, 46K, Demi!Cas]

Dean owns a bakery and Castiel loves his pie. This could be such a cute little bakery love story – if it weren’t for the fact that one was a retired hunter and the other one a powerful witch. There’s also the matter of the black little cat Dean finds in front of his bakery one cold and rainy night. Not to forget the crazy witch on the loose, ripping out other witches’ hearts.

As The Clock Ticks by bideanie [General, 2,3K, Aro!Dean, Aro!Cas]

The timer on Dean’s arm is supposed to bring him happiness and excitement, but instead, it brings dread. While everyone else is looking forward to the day they meet The One and live happily ever after, Dean is counting the seconds until he has to break someone’s heart and tell them he doesn’t want a soul mate.

A Soliloquy for Two by Inferification [Mature, 9,8K, Ace!Dean]

In the year 2502AD, Dean Winchester escapes the clutches of the medical research company Revelation Industries and its director, Alastair, with an angel calling itself Castiel stuck in his head. As he flees Alastair, he works on a way to get Castiel a body of his own, preferably the one with huge, black wings that he came from, while battling with himself to regain some semblance of normalcy. He recruits Charlie, his long-time friend, and Benny, the customized AI of his spaceship, a Beta-Class 2Y5-IMPALA, to help him on his mission across space.

Kindred Spirits by Liron [General, 887, Ace!Dean, Ace!Cas]

Castiel goes to an aro/ace group meeting for the first time. He meets other people who are like him. They're all nice, but the group leader Dean catches his eye the most.

Loose Lips & Bucket Lists by NikkiSage [Teen, 114K, Demi!Cas]

The only thing worse than Dean’s disastrous business trip was having fly back home afterwards. At least the airport stocked good whiskey, and by some fluke Dean got upgraded from claustro-hell to first class. The handsome, blue-eyed passenger next to him was also a perk, especially since he didn’t mind talking Dean through his flight anxiety when the plane hit turbulence. And it worked… until the plane plummeted from the sky. Positive that he’s a dead man, Dean found himself confessing his deepest secrets to Blue Eyes. Everything from his shady childhood to his closeted sexuality. But the real kicker is that they DIDN’T crash. Which meant Dean told a nameless stranger his greatest secrets. The last thing Dean expected was to run into Blue Eyes again, but a surprise inspection from the company’s CFO, Castiel Shurley, brought the man back into his life. Turned out the guy he spilled his guts to? That’s his boss. To Dean’s amazement, Castiel is interested in him despite his troubled past, and the more time they spend together, the more Dean realizes that they aren’t so different. Even though their plane landed, it feels like the two men are still falling.

a human heart by sharkfish [Mature, 3,2K, Demi!Cas]

Dean is crass, obnoxious, imprecise, has very little understanding of boundaries, and Cas really, really likes him. He can’t pinpoint the moment Dean went from a thinking agent who only existed to make sure nothing goes wrong in space to an emotional agent who tells Cas to go fuck himself and storms out after a disagreement — as much as a visage made of light can storm out — but it seems feelings have been the ghost in the machine all along.

Aesthetics verse by bloodandcream [Explicit, 12,4K, Aro!Dean, Ace!Cas]

Then Cas happened to his life. And holy Shit but Cas was a force of fucking nature.

Love's Touch verse by angelofthequeers [Teen, 4K, Ace!Dean, Aro!Cas]

Third day of sharing our favorite aro/ace/demi fics!

Part 5

Triquetra by Ltleflrt [Explicit, 46K, Demi!Cas]

In a world where magic is common, there is an institution known simply as The University. It has the best teachers, the best library, and the best location no knows where. But that's what the portals are for, anyway. Teacher Jimmy Novak, and Head Archivist Castiel Novak, have a unique relationship that is generally tolerated by staff and students, minus a cruel word of gossip or two. Otherwise, life is easy, work is fulfilling, and their world is quiet. Only the students change, and that's fine. Until Dean Winchester joins the faculty and everything else changes.

Still Falling For You by Casloveshisfreckles [Mature, 35K, Demi!Dean]

When Dean and Cas find themselves sitting across from one another in their crowded college library, awkward silence and stolen glances follow. Eventually, strangers become friends who become best friends. But what happens when the years pass and the miles between you grow, yet so does your (not-at-all-platonic) love for your best friend? Are you doomed to pine forever, stuck in an endless heartache? Or do you risk it all for a chance at something more? Because even after everything… you’re still falling for him.

The Truth (And Dry Kisses and Unbeating Hearts) by broken_ankle [Teen, 15,7K, Aro!Dean]

Cas is dead. Dean doesn't take it well. Cas is back. Dean isn't taking it well, but at least he's trying. Cas offers a relationship and, well, of course Dean takes it.

Wants and Needs by Castielslostwings [Mature, 6,4K, Aro&Demi!Dean, Ace!Cas]

From a prompt in the Destiel Port FB Group! "Asexual Incubus!Cas and Demisexual Vamp!Dean" Asexual!Incubus!Cas who has to have sex to feed to stay alive and has always resented it, until he meets Demi!vampire!Dean and discovers that being fed on… actually turns him on, and makes feeding not feel miserable for the first time ever. Imagine Ace!incubus!Cas starving for a long time because he can't stomach the thought of having sex, and then here comes Demi!vamp!Dean feeding on Cas, giving him gratification he thought can only be gained from having sex. And, you know, they live happily ever after.

Partnered by K_K_TiBal [Teen, 28K, Aro!Dean, Demi!Cas]

Dean didn't think that his life as a detective could get much worse after Castiel was promoted to lieutenant. Castiel was a stickler for the rules, had no sense of humour, and never seemed to give Dean a break, even though they used to be partners. But then, despite all of their questionable history, the two are asked to go undercover on a case in the wealthy suburbs of California. . . as a married couple.

Lover by casbean [Explicit, 27K, Ace!Cas]

Fourth list with our favorite aro/ace/demi fics 💜

Part 4

Ace=/=Aro by Unforth [Mature, <1K, Aro!Dean]

Ficlet written to the Tumblr Prompt: Aro Dean calls Cas "buddy" and "pal" and "devastatingly handsome friend" because he really believes that and the guy's really, really hot and always licks his lips because they're so chapped and dry. Dean obviously has to kiss him to get him to stop. Only problem is, Cas thought Dean was ace, not aro (thank you very much, small town gossip, for mixing everything up), and he is very confused by this.

Halflings by Unforth [Explicit, 103K, Demi!Cas]

Ever since his wife Lisa died, Dean Winchester has been willing to do anything for his son Ben. When Ben decided he wanted to adopt a halfling, Dean said yes without hesitation - provided they did so the right way, by giving whichever half-human they decided to bring home the respect and dignity it deserved. Half-octopi Castiel isn't exactly what they were looking for in a pet, but, then, they aren't exactly what Castiel was expecting for owners, either.

honeysuckle by sharkfish [Teen, 3,9K, Demi!Dean, Ace!Cas]

“Your omega’s here, ok? Everything’s ok.” Cas closes his eyes and leans a little into Dean’s solid warmth. His omega is here. He can smell them all over each other already. “You made me such a nice nest, too.” Dean’s voice is low, honeyed and soft. He smells sweeter, it hangs thick and heavy in the air. “Show me.”

Never Trust a Skinny Baker by mnwood [General, 11K, Aro!Dean]

Dean owns a bakery. Cas is a patron who can't hear, and Dean happens to know sign language. This fic has all the tropes you know and love so get reading, fuckos.

Smells Like Love by shiphitsthefan [Teen, 1,5K, Aro!Dean, Aro!Cas]

Five times Sam tried to tell Dean he was aromantic, and one time Dean told someone else.

Dear Virgo by K_K_TiBal [General, 9,9K, Ace!Cas]

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.

Sparks by vipjuly [Explicit, 21K, Demi!Dean, Demi!Cas]

The creepy house on the corner has been abandoned for years, everyone says. It's ramshackle and decrepit, the yard overgrown, the wrought iron fence bent and broken in some places. The adults in the neighborhood have asked the city to do something about that eyesore for so long, but the city insists that someone is paying property taxes on the house, therefore they cannot do anything about it. So, everyone ignores it and pretends it doesn't exist. They definitely don't go anywhere near it, either. Dean, though. Dean is drawn to it as if by gravity. Little by little, Dean repairs what he can. The monster inside the house ain't so bad, either. Y'know. For a monster.

Decompression Therapy by TheAuthorGod [Explicit, 6K, Aro!Dean]

Another day, another list of aro/ace/demi fics for you to enjoy!

Part 3

Aces by Flatcoke [Teen, 32K, Ace!Cas]

The first time he comes into the shop Dean is pretty sure he is a hallucination brought on by his dry spell and accompanying month-long porn fest. He has seen this guy’s whole profile. He’s seen the whole profile so maybe his brain automatically imagines his face on every dark-haired guy he sees now. Or in which Dean's newest patron also happens to be his favorite porn star, and how is going to get through grad school when all his blood has headed down south?

Like An Old Fashioned Song by MayQueen517 [General 2,2K, Aro!Dean, Ace!Cas]

Dean wishes he could have said more; but what can you say when you feel at odds with everything? === If pressed, Dean thinks he’d say that Cas is everything from partners to family to a best friend, and everything in between.

like january by sharkfish [Explicit, 8K, Ace!Cas]

“I told you that I’m asexual,” Cas says, “and that’s true, but I’ve always understood myself to be more gray-asexual than purely asexual. That means --” “I know what it means,” Dean says, letting out the breath he was holding. “I haven’t been attracted to someone in so long, the distinction no longer seemed to be relevant.” “Nothing can change the way I feel about you,” Dean says. “Nothing.” Cas looks down at his hands. “Sometimes I think I may be attracted to you.”

Grooming Instincts by jemariel [Explicit, 26K, Demi!Cas]

There's something going on with Cas. Dean is determined to help him through it, in whatever way he can. He might end up with more than he bargained for. OR: Dean helps Cas scratch an itch. As it were.

spinning verse by sharkfish [Mature, 5K, Ace!Cas]

“Listen up!” Dean hollers, louder than necessary in the small space. “We are spinnin’ this bottle, and then we’re going to do some kissin’! Happy New Year!”

Intangible by tiamatv [Explicit, 13,9K, Demi!Cas]

“Hey, Cas,” Dean called out. He dropped his keys into the bowl by the doorway, pushed up both sleeves of his shirt, and let the door swing closed behind him. It’d no sooner clicked closed than he felt something cool brush the side of his cheek and a slip of wind around his waist, a hint of pressure against his back that he could barely feel through his flannel and his jeans. Hello, Dean, Castiel wrote, with the delicate scratch of an invisible fingernail across the flat of Dean’s palm.

For Science by shiphitsthefan [Explicit, 6K, Demi!Cas]
