Crowley makes a deal with Castiel, though it feels a lot more like blackmail. With circumstances being what they are, he and Dean have no choice but to come face-to-face with what's between them - and Dean discovers probably the one thing that turns him off in the process. (Dean/Castiel. Oneshot.)

Castiel Novak is convinced he's a slave to fate, stuck in a town where he doesn't belong and bound to a future of provinciality. When he meets Dean Winchester, a temperamental recluse with a shrouded past, his thirst for adventure might finally be quenched. But the darker Dean's secrets become, the harder it is to find the beauty of light. (AU. Destiel.)

Since Castiel's escape from Purgatory, the change in his and Dean's relationship hasn't gone unnoticed by Sam. With Dean's hardly surprising refusal to discuss where he and Cas stand, Sam uses every moment he can to observe and try to put the pieces together himself. (Oneshot.)

How strange Castiel had always thought it that humans gained such comfort from the act of hugging - but finally, he understands. (A brief drabble about the Dean/Cas hug from 8x02 through Cas's POV.)
