Summary
When Cas comes back from the Empty, Dean has to rethink everything about their relationship, and Dean’s new, post-Chuck duty.
He wants Cas to be happy and get what he wants. So, if he wants Dean, then he has him. Dean’s new responsibility is to be the best boyfriend Cas will ever want or need. If that means moving out of the bunker, and not driving the Impala, and letting Cas fuck him, then that’s what he has to do.
It’s an easy deal. It should be an easy life. So how come Dean still can’t quite make sense of it?

"When his eyes first open, there is nothing but darkness. Not the velvety, deep black of night, but the steely, thin murk of nothingness. Of cold.
Of death. Of Death.
Somehow, it feels like coming home."
Dean dies to become Death, but then - things go horribly wrong. Welcome to Supernatural - Season 17 (because Season 16 belongs to the fandom).

Summary
“I think we should have a garden,” Cas says.
Dean looks up from his beer. He hasn’t had that much to drink, but Cas still has a vague look of unreality about him, a splash of living color that doesn’t fit in the bunker’s echoing stillness. Dean didn’t hear him coming. A lot of the time, Cas is so unobtrusive it feels like Dean has the bunker to himself, with Sam away.
Dean shakes his head to clear it. “A — garden?” he repeats.

Summary
What do you get when you add Firefighter!Dean to standoffish-Doctor!Castiel?
A thousand other fics, you say?
Aaaand what’s your point exactly??!?!
Dean likes his doctor, but his doctor doesn’t like him.
Accidental friendship ensues, heartwarming bonding type moments occur, and oops!friends become best!friends.
But best friends aren’t supposed to feel the way Dean feels about Castiel. He knows this. So he ignores all the things that he can’t help feeling. When he sits and watches a movie with his best friend or when they are arguing about which method of coffee brewing is best, he pointedly doesn’t look at his friends lips, or the adorable way he tilts his head when he doesn’t understand.
Dean ignores his feelings.
That’s the way he knows how to keep his best friend.
Just ignore the butterflies.

There's a moment of sheer joy when you get to hold your child for the first time.
Dean had resigned himself that he would never get to experience that. It just wasn't in the cards.
But he made a promise to care for this bundle of joy, and when the mother smiled and thanked him, he didn't know if the fear in his chest was because he just lied to a dying woman or because he was going to actually do it.- Language:

Summary
“The whole Cain-and-Abel thing,” Dean blusters. “Us dead. Whatever. I'll kill Sam. Sam will kill me. We'll kill each other. Okay? You pick. But, first, you gotta put everything back the way it was,” Dean continues, and this, this is why he’s Chuck’s favourite. Even at his lowest, he’s still making demands. “The people, the birds, Cas. You gotta bring him back.”
Even at his lowest, Dean still lets himself hope for something.
It’s fascinating.
“We're surrendering,” Sam finishes their little speech. “We're giving up.”
Chuck nods, as if he’s thinking it over.
But the eager glint in his eyes gives him away.
“Okay. Dean, kill Sam.”
*
Chuck takes the Winchesters up on their offer in 15x19. Dean, Cas, and Jack deal with the fallout for their relationships. It gets worse before it gets better.

Summary
Dean is drowning in guilt and nightmares. From kicking Castiel out of the bunker to letting an angel possess his brother, he has recently made some poor choices in tight corners.
A road trip up to snowy northern Minnesota for what they think will be an open-and-shut Wendigo case offers the tense, battered team a chance to refocus and bond. However, almost as soon as they get there, something is not right; the very forest itself seems to conspire against them.
The hunters become the hunted, finding runes carved into trees, bodies, dreams that leak into reality, and an idol with horns for hands—in the words of Kevin Tran: “WHAT IS HAPPENING?”
Canon Divergent from partway through Season 9: Surviving Kevin Tran, Gadreel Expelled, (Very weak) Angelic Castiel. Inspired by ‘The Ritual’.

Summary
While looking for a solution to defeat Chuck and bring everyone back, Sam, Dean, and Jack encounter the original Death, who tells them they need an archangel. So Sam and Jack will search the earth for Michael, while Dean enters the Empty to find Gabriel… and he’s not leaving without Cas.
Because Dean has a soul, the Empty isn’t nothingness. He crosses vast, punishing landscapes, grappling with his feelings for Castiel while memories of the two of them haunt him—and memories of his rescue from Hell resurface. As Dean travels deeper into the Empty he discovers that its residents are awake, and they want revenge. Dean’s got to reach Castiel before they do, but he’s racing toward a secret in the heart of the Empty that will change everything.

Summary
Dean can’t help it. Castiel’s laugh is infectious, washing over him and sweeping him up in its tide. His throat and stomach ache with the feel of it, unfamiliar muscles worked past their endurance. He hasn’t laughed like this in weeks, maybe years.
Cas doesn’t stop laughing, and Dean relishes it. It’s such a good sound, deep and throaty. It rumbles over him the same way that Baby’s engine purrs, to where he can almost feel it in his gut. Dean’s giddy, the kind of happy that hunters don’t get to feel, and if it weren’t for the ceiling, he thinks he might float away. Cas’ eyes crinkle when he laughs, and his smile goes wide and gummy. He’s so brilliant, so alive—
But you’re dead, Dean thinks helplessly. But you’re dead.
---
Castiel Novak is one of the best hunters Dean Winchester has ever worked with. He's witty, whip-smart, and has enough knowledge about the supernatural to rival an encyclopedia. He's got humor dry enough to put the Sahara to shame and he's pretty easy on the eyes as well. All in all, he's the best partner Dean could have hoped for.
Too bad he's dead.

A story about the burden of guilt, the right to your own death, and what happens when you are denied that right.

Summary
It almost feels like, if Dean went to sleep right now, he could get it back. Like he would slip right back into the dream, and it would pick up where it left off. But Dean doesn’t even want to, now that he can see that world for what it is: a cheap hallucination, poking at all his weaknesses, going right for the soft underbelly Dean never shows.
All that work. All that work Dean had done over the past few weeks, trying to numb himself and act like he’d forgotten about it. And now it feels like the Empty took Cas all of five minutes ago, all over again.
Or,
A post-15x19, forty one year-old Dean gets a taste of what twenty seven year-old Dean went through in 2x20, “What Is and What Should Never Be,” and sees how the shape of his own happiness has changed. Then life goes on, same as it ever was—except for the dreams he starts having at all hours of the day, and a familiar voice on the phone that's starting to sound a little too real.

What good is a soldier without a war to fight?

Summary
Blue Eyes tilts his head. A predatory smile twists his lips.
Dean squirms beneath his gaze. “What? Does it look like I know your name, demon-priest?”
“Mm. Names have a lot of power, you know.”
“God, why did I have to get stuck with the most pretentious demon that’s ever-”
“Mine is Castiel.”
And, oh, Dean doesn’t hesitate before wrapping his tongue around it.
“Castiel.” He likes it. Please, God help him, he likes it.
“Is there an echo?”
Jesus Christ.
——
Or, Dean is a hunter and Cas is the unendingly sarcastic sin-eating demon he accidentally binds his everlasting soul to, so now Dean has to deal with things like the passenger deciding what music to listen to (Taylor Swift), unceasing threats of vehicular harm, and a disturbingly high propensity for arson and knives.

“Shut up and listen,” Bobby says. “I ain’t calling about some monster, I’m calling about Castiel.”
Dean freezes in place. “He’s alive?”
“More’n that, Dean. He’s human.”
