Between the Heavens and the Ambers by Macy2me Rating: Mature Word count: 3k

‘Til death do us part… yeah, not likely when you’re Dean Winchester and Castiel is your husband. When Cas passed away Dean didn’t handle it well, that is until he starts seeing his ghost around the house. Now he has him back and everything is fine, or it would be if everyone would just leave them alone. This is not a story about letting go, its about hanging on tight.

Hanging on tight indeed. But it's also more than that. It's a story of how love truly concurs all, even death.

Sure, Dean might seem a little crazy to other people and it probably isn't easy dealing with all the sad looks he gets throughout his day, but when he comes home, it's not to an empty house.

Well, not technically anyway.

His husband might be see-through, but he is still his quirky self and he is still there for Dean. Despite the annoying little brother who could only face the truth when it was right in front of him.

A Lonely Vigil by saltnhalo (@saltnhalo) Rating: Mature Word count: 34k

Castiel Novak is twenty-six years old when he's killed in the Civil War. The first soul to be laid to rest in the grounds of the new Lawrence Memorial Cemetery, his spirit remains in a liminal space—not in the living world, but not passing on, forever tasked with helping other spirits to go where he cannot. His vigil over the grounds of his cemetery is a long and lonely one, unable to interact with anyone who still remains in the land of the living. Until he meets Dean Winchester.

Can 30k crush you, make you sob like a little baby, and then put you back together and hand you the most beautiful happy ending you could imagine? Absolutely!

We start the story with Cas' death before watching him as the guardian ghost of the cemetery. Stuck in limbo, he has to stay bound to earth and help other souls cross over after their death. It's a long and lonely existence, especially because those who are still alive can't see him. But all that changes when he meets Dean Winchester for the first time. He's merely a little boy then, but he's the first one who can see Castiel. And then he's gone. And he doesn't return until years later, as a hunter, to put Castiel to rest.
