Pairings: Dean/Cas, Sam/Bela, Cas/Other
Warnings: Pining, Alcoholism, mild homophobic language, self-esteem issues, emotional cheating.Summary: It had been so long since Cas had left for Grad School. Dean had missed him, painfully so, in the eight years between then and now, although he never acknowledged that that was the root of the aching hole in his life.
Sam tells him that Castiel is coming back and Dean doesn’t quite know what to do. Cas had made it clear that he didn’t feel the same as Dean, that he would never—. Dean couldn’t let himself think about that or he just might lose it. He likes to think he’s done okay for himself, working two part time jobs while permanently single, living at home with his increasingly alcoholic father.
But then he hears about Cas. How Cas has a doctorate, and a nice house on the good side of town. A long-term partner.
Dean can’t seem to reconcile the idea of the Cas from before, with the Cas in front of him. It’s complicated by the fact that John is a suspect in the kidnapping of a teenage girl, and Castiel’s partner is a journalist covering the story.
Dean will struggle through it, he supposes. He always does.

Five Stages
Cas is gone.
How will Dean handle it this time?
A mirror of episodes 1-5 of Season 13 and Dean Winchester’s stages of grief.
____________________________
This can’t be happening again. Before, when he watched that reaper bitch slide an angel blade into Cas’ chest, Dean thought about asking her to kill him too. The smooth, silver blade pierced Cas’ skin for months after that, the same nightmare haunting him every time he closed his eyes.
Dean thinks it must be a dream, watching the tip of Cas’ blade appear out of his chest. His eternal light blinds, beautiful in its release. It makes Dean sick. He’s seen angels die, seen their wings turn to ash where they lie. But this is Cas. This isn’t supposed to happen again.
The ground is hard under his knees and everything is quiet, eerie almost. Empty. He stays by Cas and waits. Because someone will come. Chuck, maybe. Amara. Another angel that can bring him back. Dean waits, one hand a fist in his lap, the other clenching the edge of Cas’ trenchcoat.

Pairings: Dean Winchester/Castiel Novak
Warnings: serial killer case, D/S biology, Dominant Dean, Submissive Cas, suspense, kidnapping, subspace, hand-feeding, spanking, facialSummary: Castiel Novak, the city’s only Submissive homicide detective, balances navigating a career believed to be a Dominant’s domain and keeping his physical needs in check. When another team drops the ball and a series of gruesome murders lands in Castiel’s lap, it’s simply another day on the job.
Only this isn’t like any case Castiel has ever worked. Collecting clues and running leads gets him nowhere, until the day he receives a phone call from Dean Winchester, Editor-in-Chief of the popular magazine Cruisin’ Classics. It’s a phone call that has the power to blow the case wide open.
Castiel races against the clock as the killer ups the ante, but Dean—rich, drop-dead gorgeous, and a famously unconventional Dominant to boot—proves to be a distraction he can’t afford. As the danger grows, Castiel finds himself torn between upholding his beliefs and giving in to his desires. Can he resist his urges long enough to find the killer, or will his biology consume him?
