#case fic

Dean can infiltrate no problem bc he genuinely knows everything about cars and gets super into discussing fixes, gets wildly side-tracked, while Sam goes off to interrogate a bunch of car-enthusiast hot milfs

Dean is glued at the hip to Cas and Cas always stands awkwardly at the Impala, doesn't know anything about cars, so everyone just assumes Cas is the boyfriend who showed up for support? And the hot young ladies in shorts and boots befriend him bc he's apparently one of the hot girlfriends? And so he gets insight into their lives and solves the case, leading them final-girl style through the monster showdown in a garage full of heavy machinery and angry ghosts

summary: your boss hates you. i mean is it partly your fault, yes. do you still hate him with an untameable fire in your heart, yes. what happens when the only room on the small town hotel is the unused honeymoon suite? 

warnings: MDNI, PIV (unprotected), boss x employee, bau!reader, reader has long hair, hair pulling, slight rough play, oral (F!rec), slight dom! hotch. 

wc: 5k

There were many mysteries in the world. Some of those universal truths that could be debated over and over. And did philosophers try. But there was one thing you were absolutely sure of, your boss, Aaron Hotchner HATED you.

Partly, it was your fault. Pulling the Strauss card to force his hand into giving you the job at the BAU. The way his jaw ticked as you stood in his office that day, his fists curled by his side tight, the last thing he wanted was you on his team.

Also not to mention, the night you’d spent together before you knew he’d be your boss. That’s how you found yourself under a mountain of paperwork on a Friday night, the rest of your colleagues long gone.

You can barely peek over the top, the bullpen a ghost town. The only noises being the scratching of your pen, occasional typing and the cheap kitchen fridges whirring. They keep you company.

The closed blinds in his window kept you company too. You wouldn’t know there was anyone in there if it wasn’t for the yellow glow of the lamp on his desk peeking through the slits of the blinds. Sometimes, you could see him stand at the window, in a shadow.

Another file done, by this point you had a system. Five files done meant a trip to the storage room to add them to the cabinets. The file room was where you could breathe, he couldn’t stare down at your every move from here.

The file room was your sanctuary. Just you, the rolling wheels of the drawers and your humming. The cabinets were alphabetically arranged, slotting each file into their respective letter.

Suddenly, the door clunks open. You jump out of your skin, dropping a file and the papers inside splay out all over the floor.

“For fuck-.” You start, looking up and the sentence dies in your throat. “You scared me.” Your teeth clenched, he looked down at you unimpressed. “What are you a ballerina Hotch?”

Dean Winchester Says He's in Love | @junesirius Rating: General Word Count: 3,886 Main Tags/Warnings: Hurt/Comfort, Bittersweet, Fluff at the end, Canon Divergent, Case Fic Summary: Dean grins wide, announcing, "I'm in love." Cas stares at him. "Oh," he says.

Julstaden | @mittensmorgul Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 4,190 Main Tags/Warnings: Case Fic, Fluff, Thanksgiving, Post-Canon, Christmas Fluff Summary: Sometimes a hunt cuts in to their enjoyment of a relaxing holiday. Sometimes saving a whole town has its own holiday-themed rewards. Everyone is thankful for that.

It’s all about the heart(s) | @hectatess Rating: Mature Word Count: 9,250 Main Tags/Warnings: Romantic Fluff, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, Graphic Description of Corpses, Canon-Typical Gore Summary: Dean has this thing. Anytime around Valentines Day he gets his hands on a heart, real or realistic, he goes for the same phrase. Sam just sighs and sends him a bitchface, but Sam has gotten sick, and Dean has put him in bed. So now Cas accompanies Dean on his hunt in a tiny Kansas town where people turn up dead with missing hearts. Seems open and shut, right?

sinner like me | @farenmaddox Rating: Mature Word Count: 11,697 Main Tags/Warnings: Post-Canon Fix-It, Lighthouses, Ghosts, Miscommunication, Castiel's Angelic Grace, The love is requited they're just stupid Summary: Dean has been avoiding Castiel as much as possible since the dust settled on the end of the world. When forced together to go investigate a haunted lighthouse, things start to thaw, but Cas’ confession still hangs over them, and they’re still not talking about it. Cas’ choice to trust a ghost and risk his life (again) might be the thing that pushes them over the edge.

Everything I Possess | @krexhatespushups-blog Rating: Explicit Word Count: 19,024 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon divergent, pre-seasson one Canon divergent, Angel possession, temporary character death, non-con possession, John Winchester A+ parenting, child abandonment, non-consenual flirting, implied/referenced drug addiction and use, mentions of PTSD, It's not all bad, I promise. Semi-public sex, praise kink, angelic grace as lube, established Dean/ Cas, greiving Castiel, hunters funeral, Dean and Cas get the ending they deserved. Summary: Dean had been fighting all kinds of supernatural beings from the time he could hold a gun, but he never expected angels to be real, So when he met Rhonda Hurley at nineteen in a tiny town in Colorado, the last thing he expected was that her sister had been miraculously saved by an angel. Nineteen years later, Dean and Cas are searching for God and their paths cross with a familiar angel who knows about Rhonda and reveals a secret - a pink satin-y panty shaped secret - that Dean has been hiding.

A Word in the Mists | @amaranthhiding Rating: Mature Word Count: 23,968 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon-Adjacent AU, Ship at Sea Setting, Case Fic, Monster Hunt, Pre-Relationship, Mystery, Suspense, Isolated from the Outside World, Apocalypse, Angst, Sarcasm, Fear of Drowning, Castiel and Dean Save Each Other, Canon-Level Depictions of Blood and Violence, Minor Character Deaths (not TFW), Brief Hints of Suicidal Thoughts, Dean POV, DeanCas HorrorFest 2024 Summary: Mist as far as the eye can see. A gloomy ocean that seems to swallow up the sunlight like broken dreams. An old, rusty ship that creaks with every inch of movement. And a crew that could compete in an award for grumpiest people alive. Dean really hates pretty much everything about this case, and would love nothing more than to call it quits and turn this ship around... if there wasn't the little issue of the disappearance of thousands of people across ten different ships on the open sea. Saving lives is what he does. But he has to question if he isn't doing more harm than good when the disappearances begin on his own ship—and he still hasn't even figured out what kind of monster they're dealing with.

Shifting Focus | @tea-or-die Rating: Mature Word Count: 24,774 Main Tags/Warnings: Mutual Pining, Dean Winchester Needs to Use Actual Words, Closeted Dean Winchester, Mentions of Past Sex Work, Human Castiel, Castiel is Saved from the Empty (Supernatural), Case Fic, Dean Winchester Needs to Remove Head From Ass, Castiel Loves Dean Winchester, Castiel (Supernatural) is a Taylor Swift Fan, Sharing a Bed, Dean Winchester Loves Castiel, Pretending to be a couple, Fake/Pretend Relationship, John Winchester's A+ Parenting, Love Confessions, Confusing Boner, bickering like an old married couple, Dean Winchester is Oblivious, Coming Out, Long-Suffering Sam Winchester Summary: Castiel may be back from the empty, but Dean just wants things to stay the way they were. Avoiding Castiel isn't the way to do that, though. When a case forces them to not only work together, but fake a relationship, Dean starts to wonder if maybe things need to change, after all.

Glimpses Amid Tears | @junesirius Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 35,513 Main Tags/Warnings: S8 Canon Divergent, Minor Body Horror, Mutual Pining, Angst, Castiel's True Form, Canon-Typical Violence, Canon-Typical Suicidal Thoughts, Dean Winchester Uses Actual Words, Happy Ending Summary: Cas had mentioned too damn many times they had no idea if the portal would allow an angel to pass, but they'd agreed to try, together. And they did. Their hands held tight, no one let go. But just like every other long shot in their bloody lives -- the bleak hopes, the only plans -- it didn't work. They never do. It's a human portal, after all. It only works on pure humans, so it should be no surprise that it would try to parse out any human part to throw out Purgatory, leaving the rest behind. When an angel in a vessel has both, it means tearing him apart. Literally.

The Vampire 'Verse | @maleyah Rating: Explicit Word Count: 45,946 Main Tags/Warnings: AU canon divergence, vampires, idiots in love, season 1 divergence, sharing a bed, case fic, dramatic Castiel, vampire Cas, hunter Dean, sibling shenanigans Summary: Dean has never been on his own in any permanent sense of the word. With John six feet under and Sammy at Stanford, he’s little more than a college dropout-turned hunter with endless possibilities at his fingertips and no clue what to do with them. So he hunts. Following the cold trail of a missing woman, he is headed for a nameless, Burtonesque town. On foot. (Baby broke down.) In a deluge. (Because of course.) Soaked to the bone, he knocks at the only house that has lights on. Somehow that ends with him in someone else’s clothes under a blanket in a very strange living room. Someone going by the name of Castiel, who isn’t what he appears to be. Don’t they say bad luck comes in threes?

Dark Blue | @whoipretended2b Rating: Explicit Word Count: 105,923 Main Tags/Warnings: Hunter Dean Winchester, Shapeshifter! Castiel, Protective Castiel (Supernatural), Creature Castiel (Supernatural), Angst with a Hopeful Ending, Angst, Enemies to Lovers, Case Fic, Depressed Dean Winchester, Stanford Era (Supernatural), canon adjacent, Canon Universe Summary: Castiel is a shapeshifter, haunted by his mother’s murder and terrified of becoming a monster himself. Survival means pretending, and he’s learned to be anyone but himself until the night he meets Dean Winchester. Dean is a hunter, raised to follow his father’s orders and become whatever the job demands. He doesn’t know who he is when he’s not performing, until he meets someone he calls “Blue”. What begins as a quest for revenge turns into something else: the collision of two men hiding from the world, each desperate and terrified to be seen beneath their disguises.
