Some of you may have dads to celebrate today, some of you may not. But I think most of us can agree that Dean and Cas being dads/father figures should always be celebrated. Here are some fics in celebration of the two best would-be-dads on the planet!

That is, until the mechanic walks through the door.
♦ Jacob Verse by: literaryoblivion (7,460 ♦ G)

♦ This Story Was Brought to You by Our Sponsors by: scaramouche (29,499 ♦ M)

Summary: Human AU. Dean Winchester teaches a third-grade class. He's new to this whole ‘bisexual’ thing - but by pure happenstance, he meets Castiel: a particularly dapper male librarian who moonlights as a substitute teacher. Dean's curious and Castiel is willing, so why the hell not?
Except, fate never intended it to be one-time-only...

♦ The Day The World Went Away by: pyjamagurl (60,000 ♦ E)
Summary: After being reunited with Sam and leaving Lisa, Dean is finding that adjusting back into the hunting lifestyle is harder than he thought it would be. When a particular hunt goes badly, he gets knocked out, only to awaken five years in the future. Things are definitely different; Castiel is a hunter, Sam is married and things between Dean and Castiel have gone somewhere Dean really hadn't expected. And somewhere in all of this there is a lesson to be learned.
♦ Our Way to Fall by: lemonsorbae (75,802 ♦ E)
Summary: Dean and Cas reunite at their fifteen-year high school reunion and after one night together Dean’s ready to marry the guy. But then he’s got a daughter back home that doesn’t necessarily make that equation possible, and so he does the next logical thing: high tails it out of Cas’ hotel room and doesn’t look back.
Well, that was the plan anyway.
♦ The Shattered One by: MissAnnThropic (89,098 ♦ T)
Summary: When it struck Castiel, he was in mid-flight. It dropped him out of the sky like a sparrow buffeted by gale-force winds. Castiel set down the first place he could find. He ended up standing in a field in Switzerland, swaying on his feet and staring down at his body, dazed by what it had just done.
♦ His Fucking Kids by: 8sword (96,000 ♦ G-M)
Summary: Dean watches as Castiel lies on the floor playing with their baby. He’s laughing right along with Jacob’s gurgles and giggles, and Dean’s heart melts. He shakes his head as he remembers the look of fear on Cas’s face when he had first suggested them adopting.
♦ Into Your Hideaway by: thepinupchemist (176,557 ♦ E)
Summary: Driving down a deserted road in the Rocky Mountains, Castiel finds something unexpected: An omega. Not only an omega, but a naked, injured, pregnant omega.
Dean doesn't talk much at first, but that doesn't change the brightness of his soul.
It also doesn't stop Castiel from falling in love with him.
