Title: In This Handmade Heaven Author: VioletHaze Artist: Whichstiel Rating: Both explicit and teen-rated versions available Length: 37k Pairings: Dean/Cas (past Dean/Lisa) Warnings: None Tropes: Law Enforcement AU, Enemies to Friends to Lovers

Summary: Dean knows Bobby’s given him an opportunity by asking him to fix up this house, but being sent to a tiny town in the middle of nowhere feels a lot more like being banished. One store, one bar, hell, the entire place only has one cop. Dean’s plan is to go, get the house in order, and be back to his real life in Sioux Falls in time for Sam’s visit home at Christmas.

Everyone in Linden seems to know his business before he even arrives, and no matter how he tries to keep to himself, he and that cop, one Officer Cas Novak, keep crossing paths. Despite his initial intentions, Dean finds himself embracing the small town, the people there, and even the neighborhood goat. As he and Cas grow closer, Dean realizes that being stuck in the middle of Iowa feels a lot like coming home.

Title: Plus One Author: Blue Masquerade Artist: Busy Squirrel Rating: Teen Length: 19,309 Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: None Tropes: Fake Relationship, Mutual Pining

Cas is looking forward to finally showing off a boyfriend at his cousin’s wedding, thus getting his family off his back about his relationship status. When they break up only a week before the big event, Cas is more upset about the loss of his date than the actual breakup.

His long-time roommate and best friend Dean hates to see Cas upset, so he does what any good roomie would do. He volunteers to be Cas’ plus one for the wedding of the year. Free food and entertainment, sounds like a good deal all around, right?

Best of all, he gets to stop hiding how he really feels about Cas, at least for a little while.

Professor Castiel is a hot mess. Second hottest mess on campus?

(A feel-good AU in which Cas bunnysits for Dean, and Dean helps Cas KonMari his life – all the while falling in love and accidentally moving in together.)
