sunday morning coming down | @reallyelegantsharkfish Rating: Mature Word Count: 2395 Main Tags and Warnings: Recreational Drug Use, Marijuana, Demisexual Castiel, Mutual Pining Summary: Smoke can do all kinds of stuff to you, maybe. Maybe make you want to touch, want to kiss. Maybe make you want to cook dinner and lay together reading and laugh together on long drives through the Hill Country, Baby’s wheels tried and true around the curves and bends.

Holiday Traditions | @suckerfordeansfreckles Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 1356 Main Tags and Warnings: roommates, best friends to lovers, mentioned homophobia, emotional hurt/comfort Summary: Ever since Dean has known Cas, since they moved in together almost three years ago, Cas has dreaded the Christmas season. Every single time, it had taken him days afterwards to find his smile again. Every single time, he came home and hid in his room for as long as possible. Every single time, Dean’s heart broke a little more for him. But Cas survived the holidays again this year, and he’s done with family for the next few months. And Dean, the awesome (and totally smitten) best friend he is, decided to treat Cas today. Make December 29th 2018 the best one Cas has ever had. Starting with breakfast in bed.

Castiel - with his blue hair, and his tattoos, and his artwork, and his perfect everything. Dean never stood a chance, really. It only sucks because, as far as Dean can tell, Castiel is definitely not interested. But love, much like art, has a way of being unpredictable. Even if you think you know where you’re going with it.

Unfortunately for Dean, Carmen then left him for her boss, so he needs to find a roommate ASAP. Castiel Novak needs to move out of his brother’s house before his niece is born, and when he finds Dean’s ad on Craigslist, it seems like the perfect solution for both of them. So what if Dean is ridiculously gorgeous? Castiel can keep his crush under control. So what if Castiel is gay? Totally straight Dean isn’t at all affected by seeing him hook up with dudes. They’re just a couple of completely platonic roommates. Well… that’s what they think, anyway…

But when Castiel – Dean’s roommate, best friend, and total virgin – asks Dean to be his First, Dean’s plan to bed numerous strangers goes up in smoke. Over the weeks, then the months, Cas becomes his go-to guy. His “fuck buddy”, if you will. But that doesn’t sound right. It doesn’t feel right. Dean was Cas’ First, but now he wants to be Cas’ Only. Now he’s gotta figure out how the heck to court a guy he’s successfully wooed a hundred times already.

Or: Every time Dean fixes anything in this cursed house, a random plant pops up and breaks it again. The woo-woo weirdo named Cas on the other side of the river keeps insisting that Dean must’ve offended the forest fairies. He offers his own home’s amenities for as long as Dean needs them.

And then… one night… he doesn’t even do that.

Castiel’s an FBI agent with a plane to catch, and he doesn’t have time to take the dog to the vet. Dean’s a musician, and he doesn’t have the money. An agreement is reached: Dean goes, Castiel pays, and they’ll exchange details and meet again to work things out. But who gets the dog? Sooner or later they’re going to realise that having shared custody of one pitbull isn’t ideal. She needs one home, not two. One stable, loving home…

Destiel Trope Collection 2019 Day 14: Fake Dating

Broken Halos | @jimminovak Rating: Explicit Word Count: 18123 Main Tags and Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply, Case Fic, Fake Dating, Fallen!Cas, Mutual Pining, Bed Sharing, Hurt/Comfort Summary: Cas lost his grace. Well, most of it. He’s almost entirely human and not sure if he will ever get his grace back. Dean wants him to know that as a human, they care about him just as much. And since Dean isn’t that good with words, working a case in a luxurious, romantic resort might just be the thing they need. If only he could remember that the romantic relationship is just for show.

Cuffed to an Angel | @mattzerella-sticks Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 72529 Main Tags and Warnings: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Professor Dean Winchester, Writer Dean Winchester, Detective Castiel, Mutual Pining, Homophobic Language, Idiots in Love Summary: Dean Winchester has a lot going for him: he’s beloved by his students, he’s finished writing his first book, and he’s living comfortably in New York City. The only problem is… he’s single. That wouldn’t bother him much if his family wouldn’t be visiting for the holidays. With cuffing season over, Dean has to face his family alone… or will he? Castiel DiAngelo is a simple detective who hasn’t really celebrated Christmas in over 9 years, holidays and family being a sore spot for him. But after taking Dean up on an offer, he finds that you can’t really avoid the holidays. Will these two be able to pull off a seminal holiday trope? Or will certain developments get in the way…

a dangerous thing | @reallyelegantsharkfish Rating: Explicit Word Count: 46489 Main Tags and Warnings: Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Sex Worker Dean, Camboy Dean, Alpha Castiel, Omega Dean, Sharing a Bed, Mating Cycles/In Heat, Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism , Fake/Pretend Relationship, Rape Aftermath, Knotting, Mating Bites Summary: Dean spends all his time being desired by others – makes his living that way – but being lusted after isn’t the same thing as being wanted, and he’s never felt wanted. Which is why he ends up answering an email that starts with “Dear sir, I hope this letter doesn’t offend you…” and ends with “You will be compensated generously for your time. Sincerely, Castiel Novak.” The email says Castiel is looking for “the boyfriend experience,” as they call it in Dean’s profession. He wants a live-in, someone to hold him at night, someone to make him dinner and greet him after a long day of work with a smile, someone to play pretend with.

Ready To Fall | @lemonsorbae Rating: Mature Word Count: 25272 Main Tags and Warnings: College!AU, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Fluff and Angst, Smut, First Time, First Kiss, Miscommunication, Loss of Virginity, Bottom Dean, Virgin Castiel Summary: When Castiel’s plans for the summer get cancelled and he’s left with nowhere else to go, Dean invites him to go home with him. It seems an easy solution to cure Castiel’s summer blues, but when they arrive at the Winchester household, Dean realizes due to a slight miscommunication with his mom he and Castiel will have to spend the summer sharing a bed and holding hands because the entire Winchester family thinks they’re dating. And really it shouldn’t be that big of a deal because Dean Winchester isn’t actually in love with his best friend; except for that he is.

The Christmas Case | @deans-jiggly-pudding Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5924 Main Tags and Warnings: Fake/pretend relationship, frottage, public hand jobs Summary: Castiel finds a case in the middle of decorating for Christmas. What begins as a simple hunt turns into a pretend relationship that takes a dangerous turn. Dean is excited for the chance to hold hands and do “couple things” with Cas, but can they play the part well enough to catch the monster’s attention?

Consider This: Peanuts | @cr-noble-writes Rating: No Rating Word Count: 2899 Main Tags and Warnings: fluff, mentions of biphobia, fake dating Summary: Dean isn’t sure why he RSVP’d to his dad’s wedding with a plus one, but only a week before the big day, he still doesn’t have a date. So he decides to do the next best thing. He asks his best friend to go with him and pretend to be his boyfriend.

Roll With It | @saltnhalo Rating: Explicit Word Count: 72818 Main Tags and Warnings: Fake relationship, boss/employee relationship, Proposal fusion, Russian Castiel, slow burn Summary: For two years, Dean’s been slaving away beneath his boss – many label him a secretary, but he fucking hates that and feels like it only applies to someone wearing a pencil skirt, so he insists on his title of Executive Assistant. And for what? In the vain hope that one day he’ll manage to become an editor for Sandover Publishing, and that he’ll see the manuscript that he’s slaved over since college finally realized in print. That’s the dream, anyway. Right now, he’s fucking late. Dean wants to be an editor. Castiel just wants to stay in the country. ‘The Proposal’ – as you’ve never seen it before.

Rule Number One | @caswouldratherbehere Rating: Explicit Word Count: 9108 Main Tags and Warnings: AU, fake dating, roommates, mutual pining, explicit sex, top!Castiel, bottom!Dean, implied switching, deepthroating, dirty talk, coming untouched Summary: Dean has a problem. His mom’s fiance wants to hook him up, but Dean’s not even a little interested. If he goes to their engagement party alone, he’ll be pressured all night long. When his roommate offers to go as his fake-date, it should be an easy solution. What could go wrong? Only Dean’s been lusting after the man for months and, even if the guy does happen to be attracted to men (the jury is still out on that one), there’s one thing Dean knows for certain: you don’t date your roommate. No matter how perfect they are.

Peak Homosexual | @thebloggerbloggerfun Rating: General Word Count: 3791 Main Tags and Warnings: Roommates, Homophobic Language Summary: You know that thing that happens where you hear something really homophobic in public so you gay it up as much as you can? This is that story.

Cutest Couple in the FBI | @supernatural9917fic Rating: Explicit Word Count: 5096 Main Tags and Warnings: Case Fic, Fake/Pretend Relationship, Everyone Thinks They’re Together, Sharing a Bed Summary: Cas and Dean are working a case in a hippie commune, and for some reason, everybody thinks they’re together. They decide to go with it when one of the hippies tells them it will make people more cooperative. This may cause complications.

Healing Hearts | @supernatural9917fic Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 4928 Main Tags and Warnings: Fake Marriage, Fake/Pretend Relationship, It’s For a Case, Jealous Dean Winchester, Fluff Summary: Sam and Castiel make plans to go undercover as a married couple at the Healing Hearts retreat for gay couples, where something has been attacking the guests. Dean goes along for back-up, but in a moment of madness, insists on taking Sam’s place as Castiel’s husband. Can he survive couples’ therapy, intimate touch classes, a vengeful spirit, and scariest of all, a room with only one bed, without betraying his secret feelings for Cas?

His best friend Castiel happens to be available, and is willing to help him through a tough time. But when Dean’s mother and brother arrive, expecting to meet the person Dean plans to marry, they understandably assume Castiel is Dean’s fiancé. After a weekend of comfortable domesticity, sharing clothes, intimate conversations, and definitely-one-time-only therapy sex, it feels almost too easy for Dean and Cas to fake a loving, romantic relationship. The hard part is going back to being friends afterwards. They can’t keep their hands off each other, and they’ve discovered some fun things to do together which they’d never tell another soul about. And, oh boy, feelings. Now being ‘just friends’ is so impossible, it seems as if fate had another plan for them all along…

A Study in Fake | @sternchencas Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 4933 Main Tags and Warnings: mutual pining, bed sharing, fluff Summary: Although Dean has a job, he’s always looking for some extra money, so he’s bummed out when he can’t take part in a lucrative couples study at the local college. At least until Castiel Novak steps into his life out of nowhere and a throwaway joke turns into a serious relationship. Well, a fake one, but nobody needs to know that, right?

The Power of Wishing (WIP) | @60r3d0m Rating: Explicit Word Count: 6197 Main Tags and Warnings: Fake/Pretend Relationship, Temporary Amnesia, Humour, Case Fic., Happy Ending Summary: “Dean, please, you are embarrassing me.” Cas’ voice comes out stiff and awkward. Dean crosses his arms. “I’m…embarrassing…you?” Dean repeats. “Yes.” “I thought I was your fucking trophy husband, Cas.”

Destiel Trope Collection 2019 Day 8: Childhood Friends

Chalk and Chainmail | @lemonsorbae Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 33910 Main Tags and Warnings: HS!AU, Angst, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Pining, Flashbacks, Anxiety Disorder, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Childhood Friends Summary: As pre-teens their friendship may have been short lived - a couple of months to be exact - but that doesn’t mean either of them ever stopped thinking about one another. With the way things ended, though, putting the past in the past might not be so easy.

a kiss on the hand | @breathingdestiel Rating: General Word Count: 1271 Main Tags and Warnings: hs!au, friends to lovers Summary: When they were children, Dean always kissed Cas’s hand when apologizing, but now they are teenagers and Cas is stupidly in love with his best friend.

A Postcard for Castiel | @almaasi Rating: General Word Count: 4763 Main Tags and Warnings: Alternate Universe, Fluff, Love Letters, Kid Fic, Kid Dean, Caring Dean, Kid Castiel, Autistic Castiel, Bullied Castiel, Bullying, Dean Has a Crush on Castiel Summary: The teacher assigns a buddy to all the children in her first-grade class. Everyone writes their buddy a postcard, giving them a compliment. Dean is supposed to write something for Castiel, the mysterious autistic kid in the corner – but he doesn’t hand anything in. Does he have nothing to say? Or does he have too much to say? p.S. will you Be my Boyfrend ?

Hand In Hand | @breathingdestiel Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 3575 Main Tags and Warnings: hs!au, best friends to lovers, growing up together Summary: “I have a proposal you won’t be able to refuse,” Cas said. “What?” Dean croaked as his eyebrows shot up. “Be my friend.”

One of the things that makes it bearable has been having each other to lean on. What makes it worse is they’ve both been hiding how they really feel about each other (even from each other) to keep things - and their plans - from getting complicated. Of course they slip up, they’re found out, and things go to hell from there, making it all the more imperative they get out.

Raising Hell in a Hotel | @almaasi Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 29069 Main Tags and Warnings: Alternate Universe - Human, Kid Fic, Fluff and Angst, Romance, Hurt/Comfort, Happy Ending, Kid Castiel, Smart Castiel, Thief Castiel, Kid Dean, Smart Dean, Dean Likes Pink, Dean in Makeup, Crossdressing Dean, Poverty, Child Neglect, Emotional/Psychological Abuse, Abused Castiel, Moving In Together, Sharing a Bed, Halloween, First Kiss, Underage Kissing, Adopted Sibling Relationship, Bisexual Mary, Kid Sam Summary: Castiel is a bad influence on Dean. Okay, they’re only six years old – but when they join forces, they’re Mary Winchester’s idea of a parenting nightmare. In theory, Dean and Cas live in hotel rooms opposite each other. But in actuality, Castiel lives with Dean. Shares his clothes, his food, his bed. That sort of thing. Dean might like the colour pink more than society says he should, and Cas has the same problem with petty crime, but there’s one attribute they have in common: neither take well to being apart.

The Boy From Next Door | @peanutbutterjelly-pie Rating: General Word Count: 3042 Main Tags and Warnings: Alternate Universe, Fluff, Growing Up Together, Falling In Love Summary: Dean meets the boy from next door for the first time when he’s ten years old.

All the other boys in his swim class keep trying to convince him that there’s a live shark in the pool. And now Dean’s claiming that the panties in his bag belong to his sister, when Castiel knows for a fact that Dean doesn’t have a sister. Castiel is sick of being lied to. But, once Dean reveals a few truths, perhaps they can find a way to make sure the other kids’ teasing comes back to bite them - so to speak.

Marshmalloween | @almaasi Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 33169 Main Tags and Warnings: Alternate Universe - Human, Teen Fiction, Adventure, Southern Gothic, Spooky Fluff, Halloween, Samhain, Camping, Ghosts, Will-O-The-Wisp, Teen Sam, Friendship, Childhood Friends, Spin the Bottle, First Kiss, Making Out, Coming Untouched, Magic, Hunting, Bisexual Dean, Fake Character Death, Sam Lives Summary: In an attempt to be the world’s coolest guardian, Dean takes his seventeen-year old brother Sam and all his friends to a ‘haunted’ swamp for Halloween night. Even if the ghost stories are a load of baloney, at least the alligators are real. Dean is unexpectedly reunited with his childhood friend (and crush) Castiel, kickstarting a fun night of Halloween antics - marshmallow toasting, bottle spinning, kiss exchanging, and spooky storytelling around the campfire. But when Sam and his dog both go missing, Dean realises the stories his mother once told him are all true. Monsters are real. And unless Dean, Cas, and all of Sam’s friends can figure out how to bring Sam back, he might be lost forever.

Ex-Buddies | @lemonsorbae Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 1865 Main Tags and Warnings: Fluff, Sharing a Bed, Accidental Cuddling, First Kiss, Pining Dean, Fallen Angel Castiel Summary: Dean and Cas are buddies. But that doesn’t explain the flutter Dean gets in his belly every time he looks at the former angel, or why the hell he can’t stop thinking about touching the guy…

The Haunting of the Hilltop Mall | @spearywritesstuff Rating: Mature Word Count: 37486 Main Tags and Warnings: bed sharing, case fic, mutual pining Summary: The Hilltop Mall loomed large over the town below, with garish columns festooned with Christmas garland in late October, and of course it was maybe, kind of haunted. After hours access to the mall could be had by those that owned businesses inside. So Dean, Sam, and Cas do what any rational hunters would do in this case; they pretend to be the owners of a massage studio located within the mall. There are benefits beyond the access to the mall. Cas is quite good with his hands, as Dean eventually notes. Turns out that they are all good at the job, and that means that they actually make a bit of money. Apparently not enough to justify getting a room with enough quality beds though. Guess someone might need to share. And with all of them crammed into a too small motel room, and Cas having seemingly no problems with nudity, Dean thinks he might not entirely survive this case.

Grumpy Wet Puppy | @breathingdestiel Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 1096 Main Tags and Warnings: s12 canon divergent, love confessions Summary: After a window breaks in their motel room, Dean and Cas have to move to another one. But there is only one bed.

the correct number of beds | @tryslora Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 1310 Main Tags and Warnings: Sharing a Bed, Road Trip, First Kiss Summary: It’s been fourteen hours in the Impala, with another sixteen to go tomorrow. All they need to do is sleep for the night. But every hotel and motel in the area is filled with a beauty pageant, leaving Dean and Castiel with one room and one large bed.

A Study in Motion | @thebloggerbloggerfun Rating: Teen & Up Word Count: 24094 Main Tags and Warnings: Ice skater!Dean, Photographer!Castiel Summary: Castiel Novak’s one true passion is photography, though he’s still considered just an amateur with dreams of something more. When one of his professors gives the class the assignment of effortlessly capturing the idea of motion in a photograph, Castiel finds himself without a muse until his study partner, one Sam Winchester, volunteers his brother - a professional figure skater with dreams of his own and a past that held him back.

He’d just keep to his side of the bed and face the wall, away from Cas. It wasn’t a problem at all. So why did his stomach feel like he just ate a handful of worms?”

Good Morning Dean | @notfunnydean Rating: General Word Count: 1844 Main Tags and Warnings:morning kisses Summary: Dean doesn’t know how he could fuck the day up, before the sun is even completely up. But here he is now, outside of the motel sitting on Baby’s hood and waiting for Castiel to break his heart…or maybe even an arm or two.

For Sam, Dean, and Cas, this is old news. For the people who’ve learned the truth, it’s often a life-changing experience. Here’s the story of a handful of those lucky… yeah, let’s call them lucky… people whose lives intersected once upon a time with the Winchesters. And the stories they get to tell the Winchesters.

Snugglebird | @almaasi Rating: General Word Count: 5300 Main Tags and Warnings: Canon Universe, Fluff, Schmoop, Domestic Fluff, Pining, Nesting Castiel, Scents & Smells, Scent Kink, Cuddling & Snuggling, Dean Loves Clothes, Panties, Sharing a Bed, One Shot Summary: Dean’s most-worn clothes are going missing. Castiel seems to be missing too. Eventually Dean realises… these things are related. Somewhere, somewhy, Cas is building a nest. And he’s using Dean’s stuff to do it.

These Are Healing Hands | @60r3d0m Rating: Mature Word Count: 4179 Main Tags and Warnings: Bed Sharing, Mutual Pining, First Kiss, Angst with a Happy Ending Summary: “How you feelin’?” Cas turns back to look at him over his shoulder. Dean’s done changing into his pajama shorts. Cas’ eyes rove over the freckles that litter Dean’s stomach before they’re hidden by the ratty shirt that he pulls on. “I should be asking you that,” Cas says and Dean wanders over, takes a seat at the edge of the bed next to him. “It’s been two hours, Dean, and you’re still inebriated.”
