Summary
It’s easy to see how he turned out the way he has, the biblical musings (a kinder way to phrase what they would more honestly be called by any bystander, rants) of his father, the spite of many of the communities he cycled in and out of. Hell, even the relationships he had sustained with people who never truly knew how much their time together in turn sustained Dean. Filled his body like communion. Filled his mind with racing thoughts, guilt, lust, desire, everything the voice of his father permanently carved into the cells of his brain insisted were marks of the devil. Signs of the impurities within his soul that no amount of penance in the form of brutal beatings could ever wash him clean of.
Yeah, he’s sure any shrink worth their weight in salt could look at him and tell you exactly what happened in his childhood to bring him to where he is now. To twist him into the shape his father wanted, with aching knees, empty caverns in his heart that could never be truly filled. A perfect soldier.
After having been taken in, like Castiel's many wounded animals, broken clocks and scratched records Dean struggles with reconciling his past with his future and everything in between.

Listen, the first half of this was building up to go somewhere plot related, but who has the time? Maybe I'll write the other half someday, but for now this is stand alone sex and angstBookmarked by Ransomchild (moon_witch)

Summary
Summer '97. Dean Winchester is eighteen, benched at Bobby's while his father hunts alone. When a fight lands him in community service at a farm church, he meets Castiel Novak. Dean tells himself the tension he feels is just irritation. He tells himself the way Cas's eyes seem to catch light is a trick of his imagination. He tells himself a lot of things.
This is a story about a first kiss in a 1970 Challenger, about being raised on silence and violence, about the summer Dean Winchester learned that some things can't be fought or outrun.

Summary
“So uh,” Dean’s voice starts to crack, and he has to blink back some tears. Stupid. He’s gotta say it before he chickens out. He wants Cas to know. “Part of me is kinda– kinda glad you got that. With him. ‘Cause I don't know if I’d be able to give you all that. Even if I want to.”

Summary
"I can help with other things, too. I've been told I'm good with my hands." Dean winks, watching to see how the quip lands.
There isn't really a height difference between them, but the older man is thicker, heavier with age and muscle and time. He's broader and probably stronger, if not for the injury. Dean could outrun him, if he had to, but to where? His own front door?
He reaches out a hand to touch Mr. Novak's belt, presses a finger to the silver buckle there.
"Been told I'm good with my mouth, too."
It's Summer in Sugar Run, Florida. John has disappeared to God knows where, and Dean is doing whatever he can to make ends meet and keep food on the table. He's used to doing all sorts of odd jobs–but working for the taciturn and slightly strange older man on the other side of the park presents a new set of challenges...and a new set of rewards.- Language:

Summary
Every time Dean looks in his rearview mirror, he sees Cas in the backseat, struggling to hold tears in his eyes. Dean takes a closer look, seeing a rather familiar expression in those eyes. When Dean was at his lowest, after being gripped tight and raised from perdition, all he could feel was guilt. He didn’t deserve to be saved. There were countless souls down there, any one of them deserved to be saved more than him. Upon another glance, Dean can see Cas’ arm hide back into his sleeve after he’s done dealing with a mosquito bite. Or, so Dean thinks.
Or
Cas comes back from Purgatory human and with more issues than Dean ever thought Cas would have. Ensue Caretaker!Dean Winchester
