Summary
Dean is a good big brother. That’s why he’s driving from Lawrence to New York City on a monthly basis. It’s not because of the dark-haired stranger he slept with on his first visit to the Big Apple. It’s definitely not because he ran into that stranger again and they decided to exchange information. Sam’s a first-year law student so he lives in a shoebox with roommates and is busy with his classes and a new girlfriend. It only makes sense for Dean to stay with Cas since he’s got more space and spends more time at home. But they aren’t in a relationship. Dean isn’t good at relationships and Cas is a Ph.D. student whose life is too up in the air with graduation on the horizon and plans to move anywhere else. Cas is the best thing to happen to him since his dad died and Dean knows it’s only a matter of time before he fucks it all up.

Summary
Pediatric Surgery Fellow Dean Winchester meets baby Jack Kline and neuropsychologist Castiel Novak his first week on the job. Dean’s been accused a time or two of caring a little too much in the past and it’s hard not to care about the neurotic adoptive father and his medically needy preemie. After a series of run-ins between the pair, Dean and Cas develop a friendship that everyone else around them suspect more from immediately, though it takes them a little longer to get the memo. When Dean struggles with a particularly devastating patient loss, their mutual understanding of loss and love bring them closer in a way that neither of them could have expected.

Bookmarker's Notes
"Dean's Wayward Willy" is my favorite tag on all of AO3. Hilarious Dean repression and the resolve is *chefs kiss*.

Summary
It’s been a few years since Dean’s wife died, and he thought he was mostly doing okay. So it’s a surprise when he ends up sobbing in a parking lot, in the arms of a hot guy he’d been trying to hook up with that night. After that embarrassing incident, he doesn’t think he’ll ever hear from Cas again.
Picture his shock when Cas turns out to be The Rev. Castiel Novak — the brand-new, openly gay pastor of Dean’s congregation in Eudora, Kansas, who is very much interested in asking Dean out.
There’s just one problem: only a small handful of people know that Dean is bisexual. Does he really have it in him to date the most notorious man in town?

Summary
Dean's tattoo studio is his baby, and now this ridiculous pastel coffee shop is going to come along and ruin his bad ass aesthetic? No way. Except it's not just any old cafe, and the owner is kind of ridiculously handsome...
Castiel is in over his head, opening the Toe Bean while trying to finish veterinary school. The last thing he needs is the distraction of the gorgeous tattoo artist next door who doesn't even seem to like cats very much....
But the real question is: Will Sam Winchester ever get a moment's peace??

Summary
Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.
Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.
God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.
On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.
