Summary: At first, it seems as if the hex bag hasn't worked.Dean doesn't feel any ill effects. He doesn't spontaneously combust or break out in boils, so they chalk it up to the witch being off her game. They're wrong however. It takes a little time to work, but the spell is stranger than anything the Winchesters have previously encounter. Suddenly, Dean is sporting tentacles, and things only get weirder from there.

Summary: Dean's never been embarrassed about his porn collection before, but that was before he found Cas holding his prized copy of Sweet Princess Asuka and the Tentacles of Pleasure. Dean finds himself sweating bullets—because this is Cas, sweet, nerdy Cas. Cas, his friend. Cas, his roommate. Cas, his—only slightly out-of-control—crush. Cas, with his big, blue eyes and muscular arms and perpetual sex hair. Cas, with his tentacles. The last thing he expects is for Cas to suggest they experiment together.

Summary: Dean’s been in contact with supernatural creatures and people for all his life, as far as he can remember. He’s been working as a social worker for years now, specifying on cases that involve supernatural families.

But he’s never really… been with a supernatural creature. He’s never been with anyone, ever, for more than a night, really — not the relationship type, that‘s what he used to excuse it on.

But then he met Cas, on a case he worked with his brother, one in a cecaelia community in California. He met Cas, a cecaelia himself, and was kind of lost right away, because Cas was friendly, helpful, articulate and kind of brilliant. He’s also… gorgeous. When Dean first saw him, he kind of lost all breath and brainpower. They’ve been together for a few months now, but in all this time, they haven’t been intimate, haven’t really dared to go beyond their heavy make-out sessions.It’s especially hard again for Dean today, to not just devour Cas. To not just beg him for more.

Summary: A grand spectacle has swept through the land, capturing the hearts and imaginations of all who witness it; The Winchester Circus, a family show that boasts not only talent, but true magic. Their roster spans dozens of species, but perhaps their most noteworthy act is that of a fabled sea monster, a wicked kraken-like beast that does battle with the brave Dean Winchester every show.

Well hello! This is such a fun ask! I did some digging, and while I found a number I have read, I also found a few that seemed to fit what you’re after but I haven’t read, so I can’t speak to their quality! But I figured I’d include them anyway since taste is entirely subjective.  Stuff I’ve read and enjoyed Call me a fool by zation

Read All About It (#princemystery) by hma1313

It’s been a while. 

There was a very long period where I wasn’t really reading fic at all. Real Life got very busy, my mental health got fragile, all circumstances conspired against this blog being active.

But.

I’m currently not working due to the global situation, which means more time to read. It’s hard to predict whether I’ll feel up to the full review process if I stumble across anything worth sharing, but I’m going to at least make an effort to share links. 

Today, I’ll get started with some reblogs from the 2020 round of the Dean/Cas Reverse Bang, which just finished posting this week! (Yes, full disclosure, I was a mod for it.)

It’s summer, and that means all sorts of things: ice cream, bare skin, sunsets, and of course, weddings! Please enjoy this collection of some of our favourite wedding fics-- if you’re stuck at one you don’t want to attend, lose yourself here instead!

Forget-Me-Not-Blues by noangelsinthegarrison

Summary: Sam and Jess are getting married and Dean couldn’t be any happier for them. Honestly, they’re kind of disgustingly perfect for each other and Dean’s pretty damn excited about staying with them the week before the wedding. He’s Sam’s best man, of course, and he doesn’t even mind that Jess has her own best man to share in all the organisational duties. The more the merrier, right?

Except Dean must have done something to epically piss off the universe because Jess’s best man just happens to be Castiel friggin’ Novak. He’s got even hotter since High School, but apparently no friendlier and if Cas wants to spend the week pretending like they’ve never met before? Fine. Two can play at that game.

I want my life to be with you by casdoms

Summary: Cas, his best friend, ex-kinda-angel, ex-god, not boyfriend. Cas, the guy that Dean is allowed to kiss whenever he wants. Cas, the guy who texts him dumb pictures with emoji's whenever he's out on his own. Cas, the guy who steals Dean's clothes out of his laundry and then whines that they smell. Cas, the guy who hogs the blankets and makes him laugh and cannot use the toaster oven to save his life. Cas, the one guy who's always had his back, always made him feel safe, no matter what.

Cas...Dean's breath stutters for a second as a thought runs through his head. Cas, the guy he wants to spend the rest of his life with.

Summary: Castiel Novak might have to attend three weddings in two months, but he’s not about to let his brother play matchmaker. His family’s Internet streaming company is too important to let a relationship steal his time, but he knows exactly what to do–hire someone to pretend to be his boyfriend.

Dean Winchester has worked five-star hospitality long enough to know how to fit in with Castiel’s crowd, and this job could score him the connections to make his acting career take off. It’s a business deal, no matter how they’re drawn to each other. When the lines of their contract start to blur into real feelings, can they withstand Castiel’s family and jealous fans working to split them up?

Hi! I definitely haven’t read this, so I just did a quick AO3 search and found a few possibilities.

This one seems the most likely since the work has been orphaned, which would make sense if the author also left tumblr.

Hi there! I haven’t read the story you mentioned, and from a quick glance it looks a bit more angsty than most of these, but here are the ones that come to mind when you say ‘secret relationship.’
