Summary
All Dean Winchester knows is repression. At no time in his life has he ever felt safe to explore his attraction to other men. He has all but convinced himself that it doesn't exist--that heterosexuality is the only option. But try to deny it as he might, Castiel's presence in the bunker is a mounting reminder that he will never be the man his father wanted him to be. He doesn't know how much longer he can keep the charade...or even if he wants to anymore.

Summary
From the top of his 29 years-old, Castiel Novak has everything he could ever wish for. His band has been successful enough for the past decade that he's traveled the world several times, can have anyone he wants in bed every night, and can fund his sins without a blink of an eye. On top of that, he has plenty of friends and some resemblance of a family left.
That’s until Castiel’s twin brother dies in a tragic car accident, leaving him the sole legal guardian of Jack, his 2-year-old nephew, and Claire, his 7-year-old niece. Castiel has always been a great uncle, but there’s a difference between being the cool uncle they see once a week, and being a parent. How is he supposed to deal with this, on top of his own grief, and to keep the band and what’s linked to it running?
Enter Dean Winchester, experienced personal assistant who's basically seen it all already. But will he be enough to keep Cas clean, and his new family safe?
Between growing friendships that blossom into something else, maintaining sobriety and making sure the kids are happy and cared for, what could go wrong?
Everything.

Summary
Slowly, Mystery Man raises his head. And when his eyes meet Dean’s again, they are so full that Dean is nearly leveled by it. Just. There’s love there, affection, fondness, all in that haunted cornflower blue. They’re greedy, too, like they’re consuming every detail. Dean forgets to breathe. “You sure this guy ain’t dead?” he manages. “Cause you’re looking at me like the last time you saw his mug was ten years ago.”
Mystery Man inhales sharply but doesn’t so much as blink. “He’s very much alive. He made pancakes this morning.” No further elaboration.
“Right…” Dean says a little awkwardly. “Well, since this is happening, apparently, what’s your name?”
Now, Mystery Man hesitates, frowns. Finally, he says, “My name is Cas.”
or the one where dean is at a bar in 2005 and he gets a visit from a stranger who feels familiar but he cant figure out why

Summary
Dean keeps going back.
When he arrives, it's always to blooming flowers and a windmill in the background, not too far from a brook, the sun painting the plains.
He likes it there. He likes to stand in front of the makeshift urn and check that it's still where he put it, switching out the flowers when they wilt. He likes to listen to the sound of birds chirping, insects singing, the faint sound of water trickling in the distance. He likes to turn his face up and feel the sun on his skin, wondering if Cas would do the same if he were here, somehow knowing that he would.
He likes to talk.
There's never a response, but Dean feels the breeze rustle through his hair and watches the flowers bob when bees come to them and stares as the windmill keeps turning, turning, turning. And he imagines that Cas is replying—the windmill is the tilted head, the bobbing flowers are a gentle smile, the breeze is whatever words Dean wants to hear at the time.
Sometimes, it's almost like he's there.

Summary
After a long time spent out of touch, Olivia Benson hears that Rafael Barba is back living in New York. She finds out that he has renovated a brownstone in Brooklyn, where he now resides with his dog, Bruno. Olivia finds her curiosity piqued.
Following a chance encounter at a choir service, Noah seems eager to welcome Rafael back into both of their lives. Amanda and Carisi both offer their support and encouragement, and Olivia soon finds herself reconnecting with Rafael.
Gradually, they become closer and she lets herself begin to imagine a new life they could share together, as a couple. As they grow closer, however, Elliot Stabler makes a reappearance, still carrying a torch for Olivia.
This is a story with a Barba/Benson endgame perspective.

Summary
When Captain Benson fails to show up for work, and Noah Benson is absent from school without explanation, friends and colleagues mobilize to find them.
This is a Barson-ish* tale, but one still trying to fit into canon (as of early in season 26), so some repair of the Benson/Barba estrangement is of course necessary before the story gets fully underway. When I wrote my first Barson fic a couple of months ago, I deliberately avoided reading others in that ship so that I wouldn't be accidentally influenced. But now I've read a bunch of them (there's a lot of daaaaammmnnn good writers in this fanverse), and have decided to be a little different from how many of us (including me) have handled the reconciliation. Olivia is not going to apologize in this one for feeling what she feels. Explain, maybe. Apologize? No.
*Forget the “ish.” The later chapters are full-on Barson.

Summary
"I'm Cas," he says, "Castiel." Dean raises his eyebrows: "Cas? Castiel? Don't think I've met any Castiels before."
Cas smiles and turns back to the door: "Novak. Castiel Novak. Don’t think I've met any Deans before either." He pulls the door open: "Nice to meet you, Dean," and walks inside.
"Winchester. Dean Winchester," Dean says to the closed door.

Summary
And Dean drives, past neon church signs and oversized American flags waving from utility poles. He drives to the motel he had checked into this morning, where the woman at the front desk had smiled and said “God bless” as she handed him the key to the one-bed room where Dean is dragging a fallen, ruined angel to anything but redemption.

Summary
Dean’s sitting at the kitchen table with Sam when his phone rings. Jody’s name flashes across the screen and he considers not picking up. It’s not like Dean doesn’t want to talk to Jody, it's just that he can’t bear talking to anyone these days.
“Hi, Jody,” Sam says.
“Howdy, boys.” She asks them to take over a case. Something about werewolves. Dean doubts they will, Sam hasn’t let him pick up a gun in months, not since their last hunt.
Jody’s voice cuts through the phone. “Alright, if you boys don’t wanna take the case, I’ll see if Castiel will, but I think he’s helping Claire in Colorado–”
Dean doesn’t hear a damn thing after that, and by the looks of it, Sam doesn’t either. For the first time in days, Dean opens his mouth and speaks. “Cas is alive?”
Jody’s voice is quiet on the other end. “He didn’t tell you?”

Summary
Castiel has spent his young life hidden away in a crumbling fortress deep in the forest, watching a world he is destined never to join. It's a solitary existence, but with his companions, the wolf and the crow, it has always been enough. But on the night a stranger finds his way into Castiel’s sanctuary, something in him begins to wake and questions begin to surface.
Dean Winchester has never questioned the path laid out before him - knighthood, duty, and a future chosen by his father. But when dreams of a man he’s never met begin to haunt him - dreams that feel more real than waking, Dean finds himself drawn toward something he can't explain, and the mysterious man he cannot resist.
As destiny begins to unravel around them, Castiel and Dean must choose between the lives they were meant to live and the one they are desperate to claim together, before the truth of Castiel's curse destroys them both and threatens the future of Camelot itself!

"Hello young man."
"Hi Santa," Noah grinned brightly.
"What do you want for Christmas?"
"I want Uncle Rafa to be my daddy," he answered seriously.
Would a wish from Noah be the thing that pushes Rafael and Olivia together or would it drive them apart?
