Dean and Castiel first meet at a summer camp.

Go Out and See What You Can Find series by endlessrain [NC-17, 61,600 word count] 

The thing about summers is that they seem like they last forever, then suddenly it’s slipping through your fingers, and you’re scrambling to enjoy the end. Dean learns that this is true for other things as well, as he works as a counselor at Camp Kripke, the summer after high school. In an enclosed environment like Kripke, rumors fly faster than the zip line, and suddenly everyone’s talking about him and the attractive head chef.

Something Wicked This Way Comes by aileenrose [M, 9,600 word count]

Just like every summer, Dean and Sam are tracking tornadoes. Surprisingly, it’s the nerdy computer scientist that sweeps Dean off his feet.

Ten summers by belwrites [M, 33,000 word count ]

Dean is thirteen when he starts going to Uncle Bobby’s summer camp, and when he meets his best friend, Cas Novak. Over the next ten summers, Camp Wooded Falls becomes the backdrop for friendships, romances, and drama as they move from high school to college and ultimately into adulthood.

In need of some inspiration to get those wheels turning?!?!

🥧Dean. He's been in the trenches his entire life! Raising babies and ganking monsters like he was destined to do it!

🪽Castiel. He's rumpled, he's easily confused, he never gets that reference, but damn! You thought he glowed when he let loose with his grace... just wait until you see his pregnancy glow!

🫎Sam. He knows the lore, he's the first to confirm the endless possibilities, and we picture him carrying twins with ease!

✨️Gabriel. He's a trickster who gleefully created the seahorse, and we think he would be perfectly willing to carry a child of his own!

📚Bobby. He makes a wonderful father, we all know that, just look at the two boys he already raised. Let's give him another baby!

🔥Adam. Hey, we know he got screwed over for all eternity, so let's give him a baby to raise so he doesn't feel entirely pointless!

🛳Balthazar. We believe the sassiness would reach epic levels before he collapsed on the couch and watched Titanic on an endless loop!

I mean, we could go on... and on... and so, I guess we will.

Jimmy, Michael, Samandriel, Benny, Ash, John...

SAM WHEN YOU WENT OFF WITH RUBY DEAN WAS FUCKING DEAD. 6 FEET UNDER. DEMISED. HAD KICKED THE BUCKET. WAS UNALIVED.
