A secondary

And back to our regularly scheduled Cas! Trapping him in the magic holy fire circle felt a little easy, but I'm working a double at my day jobs today so I think I've earned a little break :)

Castiel's Guide to an Accidental Courting – Siaice   Ao3

* vote yes if you think "as long as things are tagged properly"

note: curating your own dash and blocking people still counts as minding your own business

of course cas thinks dean is an 11/10 but for like his bright soul or how his freckles look like some stupid star configuration and he fantasizes about how dean’s lumbrical muscles move or like etching love letters into his tibia. cas has no concept of dsl, no idea how dean being over 6’ is highly desirable or that his wide shoulders may make others swoon, or that people freakin pay to have eyelashes like his.

he gets some idea of this in his s9 human era but it’s such a haze of confusion and hormones and literally being murdered after sex that he doesnt really get it until theyre in their post-canon fix-it era, like eight months into their relationship bc he remembers some off hand comment from some npc in a bar and he just goes:

“Dean, you’re actually… very ‘hot’. In the human way.” he says this with his best wet meow meow face, eyes wide and lips parted in awe.

and dean is just like mock offended and rolls his eyes bc he thinks cas is joking but then realizes cas isnt and sort of takes it personally bc holy hell this is crazy and is like “are you telling me you’ve been lying about bein’ in to me? what about all that crap you said i-in bed, man!? you called me b-beaut—” and he gets rlly insecure bc he freakin knew it, cas cant really be this into him

Technically not a restraint but when a cat falls asleep on your lap you don’t get to move 😅

The X’s on his hands at the music venue say otherwise. So does the bartender who shuts him down with, “I don’t think so, kid,” when Castiel asks for his number. He keeps coming back anyway. For the music. Not the bartender, of course.

The pay is suspicious, but he needs to provide for his family. A pilgrimage into a cursed forest can’t be that dangerous… right? Dean’s got a curse of his own, one that punishes those he gets close to, but he can’t stop wanting the man he’s supposed to protect. The deeper they travel, the more time goes wrong and memory slips. Can his training keep him (and his secrets) safe, or will an old prophecy tear everything apart?

Something that is difficult to come by. That is until the story reaches the ears of Castiel Novak, the model in question.

What he didn't expect was to find a man washed up on the beach at the foot of the lighthouse, wounded and unconscious. That man, a sailor named Dean, not accustomed to life on land but rather to freedom of a life on the sea, will have to stay and live with that strange lighthouse keeper used to loneliness until the supply boat comes. They'll have to live together, with all their differences and similarities. A daily challenge that will become less and less difficult as the days go by, but other difficulties and questions will surface.

And then Dean Winchester moves in next door.

The Family Business Job | @mittensmorgul Rating: Explicit Word Count: 182,630 Main Tags/Warnings: Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Inspired by Leverage, you know it's fiction because there's a competent functioning government, Minor Charlie Bradbury/Anna Milton, Established Eileen Leahy/Rowena McLeod/Sam Winchester, Minor Garth Fitzgerald IV/Bess Myers, a lot of bombs explode, Hurt/Comfort, Dean is basically Eliot Spencer, Gas-N-Sip Employee Castiel (Supernatural), Thief Castiel (Supernatural), Canon-Typical Violence, POV Alternating, Mutual Pining Summary: What do you do when you like a man? How would you catch his attention? If you were Dean Winchester, you’d cook him a Michelin-quality dinner and try not to let anything incriminating slip out. For the second date, you’d stumble your way out of retirement and into a conspiracy to dismantle a corrupt network involving the highest levels of government, a broad swath of the tech industry, and a possibly insane anarchist weapons dealer. If you were Castiel, you’d warily accept that dinner invitation, have a surprisingly wonderful time, and then hope everything won’t completely fall apart when your former lives collide like a couple of runaway trains by the opening minutes of the second date. Let’s see how these incomparably successful criminals and con men handle what comes next…

One minute, ten minutes, an hour. Dean wouldn't know. Time seems to be folding past him in unpredictable bursts. He's not convinced this isn't a dream, actually. No way it can be real. Right? No way Cas would do that to them. To him. Not after what he said. Not ever. Right?

It's a place for the pretty and the hopeful, but beneath its star-spangled façade are shadowy corners harbouring the vagrant and the vagabond alike. It's a world of corruption, sex and violence, Detective Dean Winchester has learnt to navigate with ease. Eight years at Santa Monica PD could never have prepared him for the underbelly of this so-called City of Angels though. Dean knows the shadows, he knows them intimately, but is he prepared for the World of Darkness?

there will be peace when you are done

He got too cocky, he will admit (now). Cas sits there, the burnt remains of the spell scattered on his altar as he tries to think of a solution. His best friend and roommate Dean won’t be home for a while but how was he going to explain to his human friend that he can't move his body? Cas huffs, feeling the magic around his body like invisible ropes. He glares at the ingredients in front of him. Cas exhales; he think he’s got a couple of hours till Dean comes home from the garage and by then he should have been able to come up with a plan, right? Wrong.
