Summary: When Sam discovers that people are disappearing from a private couples resort, Team Free Will go undercover to investigate. Dean's skills are needed elsewhere to give them access, so it's up to Sam and Cas to pretend to be a happy couple both at the resort and on the 3-day cruise. On the ship, without a way to communicate with Dean, they have to figure out what is abducting people before another passenger goes missing. Dealing with limited resources and time constraints, Sam is determined to save the next victim -- he just hopes that he isn't too distracted by his "fake" relationship to do the job.

I did not edit or beta, or spell check. I just decided to throw it up there. So you get this with all my half asleep writing on my phone flaws.

Enjoy!

Business AU & Forced Marriage

Dean growled as he rounded on his John. The look of shock on his father's face quickly hidden beneath the cool calm demeanor of the ruthless businessman John had become. There were rarely times that Dean would go against his father but Sammy was where he drew a line.

"You will do no such thing. Sammy has his entire life ahead of him! He wants to do his own thing." Dean refused to let their father manipulate Sam into sticking around.

"Dean this is what you and your brother were born to do. It's the family business."

"No. Not for him. I won't let you do this to him."

Dean watched as the corner of John's mouth twitched and Dean couldn't help but feel like a fly caught in a web.

"This merger will go through Dean."

"Not like--" John silenced Dean by holding his hand up.

"If you truly want your brothers freedom to choose his own path you must take his place."

John took a seat at his large desk, framed by the city-scape behind him through a wall of windows. He picked up his tumbler of bourbon and sipped it while watching Dean.

Dean stood dumbstruck. "You can't be serious."

"As a heart attack."

"But--"

"But nothing, Dean. Your passion for your brothers chance to make his own path in the world has changed my mind. He will be free to go off to Stanford, I'll of course make sure everything he could need is taken care of, and you will wed the Novak son."

"Son?" Dean's face heated. He never kept his sexuality a secret but he and his dad never really acknowledged it.

"Yes. You will stop it with your playboy ways and settle down. Don't act like you weren't expected to settle down, eventually."

"Yeah, on my own time."

"Well son, this is part of business, an opportunity rose and I will be damned if I don't take it."

"You're gonna force me to marry someone I've never even set eyes on before?"

"If not you, then Sam."

"He doesn't even like guys!"

"You think the Milton girl married the Knight boy because she loved him? Don't you pay attention? She got her "friend" Meg a job as her personal assistant. If she could do it so could Sam."

"This is beyond fucked up, even for you. Mom never would've--"

"You're mother's not here! You either accept this marriage or Sam will." John looked him over and Dean recognized the subtle look of triumph on his father's face that he sees in the boardroom when John knows he's won an acquisition.

Dean deflated. He had walked into a trap the moment he stepped foot in the office. John knew weaknesses. It's how he came from nothing to become one of the largest most powerful corporations in the world. He wondered if this was John's plan the entire time, wondered if John was ever really going to force Sam into it.

"Fine. I'll do it. But I want the lawyers to draw up a contact to make sure you hold up your end of the bargain. And an NDA for any one that even gets a wiff of this. I don't want Sam to know."

John grinned wide, "Of course. Always the martyr for Sammy. I'll have the lawyers on it first thing in the morning. You'll be meeting with Novak next weekend. A quick trip to Paris where you bump into each other at one of their clubs. With the cameras that are always around you we need to make sure it looks natural."

"A plane ride wasn't part of the deal. And what do you mean natural? There is nothing natural about any of this!" John stood and stared Dean down.

"You will do as you're told in this matter. I know what I'm doing. Your flight is already booked, Garth will get you all your information."

Dean clenched his jaw. That settled it then. If the flight was already booked and John had involved Dean's assistant, Garth, already, it was his plan the entire time.

Alright, I was in the mood to write, but not get into any of my current WIP’s, so I was scrolling though my old inbox prompts and this was the one that my muse decided needed to be answered first. It probably helped that I just wrote and will be posting later a DCJ fic. So thank you, @unforth-ninawaters for this prompt you sent me ages ago, I finally filled it and I hope that it isn’t terrible since I wrote it and didn’t bother with having anyone beta it. So all mistakes are obviously mine.

Dean wasn’t really one to do over the top celebrations, he wasn’t. However he wanted to make the night perfect for his boyfriends. He made the reservations to take a boat out overnight on the lake not far from where they lived. He knew it was a large enough that even with all the smaller boats that would come out that night to watch the fireworks they would be only one of a handful that would end up staying on the lake overnight.After five years, and all the shit they had to go through, it was a miracle that Dean was even able to keep Cas and Jimmy around for so long. Dean patted the pocket that held the two rings carefully nestled in one box. He smiled and hauled the box of supplies along with the large rolling cooler onto the boat.Dean knew that Cas wasn’t really big on surprises and Jimmy loved them. Dean had only told them that they all needed to take the next day off work because that night he had plans. When he told them, Jimmy’s eyes light up in excitement and said “It’s New Year’s Eve, Dean, none of us work tomorrow.” at the same time Cas asked carefully, “What kind of plans?” Dean kissed both men and smiled softly, “You’re right Jimmy.” then turned to Cas, “Special plans, it’s our anniversary after all.” 

Maybe Dean climbs into Cas' lap with false confidence and lays one on Cas, but when Cas is so stunned he doesn't respond right away Dean gets flustered and embarrassed and tries to apologize and get up; Cas grips Dean's hips or thighs tightly and won't let him go until Dean looks at him again, at which point he reaches up and cups Dean's face and slowly pulls Dean down (to give him time to say no) to give him a delicious kiss and then ofc it has to end with their foreheads together as they breath heavy and smile softly at one another before they go completely nuts and fuck each other's brains out.

Review:

Okay look, I can’t honestly give you a biased review of this fic since it is my own. However it is a fantastic fic about two people who have suffered major supernatural trauma and overcome it. Then together they have found a life and more importantly happiness together. 

I saw that you had seven but I was only able to see or make out six of them. So I hope it isn’t too much of a disappointment!

Deanstood across the street of his apartment in his pajamas, coat,  snowboots and his bag that held what he assumed would be all his worldlypossessions now. His laptop was a reassuring weight against his thighas he pulled the blanket further around his shoulders as the windblew.

Itwas already below freezing and the forecast called for snow later inthe day, looking at the sky Dean knew it would be sooner than theymeteorologists predicted. He clutched his phone tight against hischest as he watched the fire truck come to a halt in front of hisapartment.

Itwas barely noon but Dean had only been asleep since about ten. He wasso tired. He was sure that he should be freaking out about now but hewas sure that his past moving so often, and not having the luxury ofhaving too many physical possessions, helped him to let go ofeverything that was currently going up in smoke in his apartment.

Surprisinglyhe was the only one in the unit that was at home. He was sure thatthere were others that worked at night. Yet here he was, alone on theside of the street as complete strangers tried to see what washappening while also keeping their distance from the man whosupposedly just lost everything.

Hewatched the firefighters file out of the truck and get to work. Hewatched the dark smoke plume up into the sky, joining the white grayclouds threatening to open up and unleash the snow at any moment. Itwasn’t long before the orange flames were licking at the building,engulfing it in a way fire could only do to really old buildings.  

Deanwasn’t sure how long he stood there, he knew that he had begunshivering slightly before one of the uniformed men walked over to himand handed him an umbrella to keep snow from his body. Dean took itwithout hesitation in one hand, still holding his phone to his chestwith the other one.

“Doyou have anyone to call?” The concered voice drew him out of histrance.  

Deanblinked and then looked down at the phone he clutched tightly, thecharger still hanging from it, the base sitting at his feet on thesidewalk where it must have fallen. He looked up as the firefighternot really knowing what he was going to say.

“Youwant to step over to the ambulance with me? We can make sure that youaren’t injured in anyway.” The man raised his eyebrows at him andDean realized that he had been standing there without any responsefor who knew how long.

Henodded, picked up his charging base and allowed himself to be ledover to the ambulance to be checked out. As soon as the EMT took overthe firefighter was gone. Dean was sure that it wasn’t long beforehe had beautiful blue eyes swimming in his vision.

“Dean.Focus on my eyes. Dean. Baby. I need you to look at me.” Cas’voice washed over him. It was like a balm on a hot summer sunburn.Dean blinked.

Deanlooked at Cas, he didn’t remember calling him, and a side of hislips raised up, “Hey, Cas.” He saw a bright color from the sideof his vision and looked at the umbrella sitting upended on thestreet next to the ambulance.

“Dean.”Cas’ voice flooded with relief.

“Ithink I willmovein with you, babe.” Dean’s voice was full of seriousness and Casjust gave him a nervous laugh.

“Yeah.I figured.” Cas wrapped Dean in his arms as the snow continued tofall slowly.  Dean knew it would be okay as long as he had Cas.

This is the next part of the back and forth head canon fic between @jhoomwrites and myself. We decided to start a new post since the original one is so long. Each new part will be under a cut. So if you’re on mobile hopefully you will be able to see it.

Parts one through seven here. 

Dean wakes up with the sun. Bright and way too cheery for his mood as it peaks over the horizon and shines it’s bright light right into his eyes. He rolls over with a  groan pressing his nose against the comfortable leather of Baby’s seat.

His brain was more awake than he wanted. It was feeding him all the little tidbits from the night before and he groaned again in disgust over his weakness. Sure everything that he said last night as he prayed to a human Cas was true. It was the first time that he actually spoke them though. Always too afraid, or it was never the right time, to be able to say them to Cas.
