Art Masterpost for The Ocean Between Us by noxsoulmate.

Summary: Living a hermit life, Dean Winchester didn’t need much. The only things important to him were his position in the business that was once owned by his family, his boat, and his friendship with Castiel, Charlie, and Gabriel. If only there wasn’t a whole ocean between them, then maybe he could even give his feelings for Castiel a chance.

Title: Along My Restless Palms

Author: Sass-Master

Artist: Winchester-Reload

Rating: Explicit

Length: 28k

Pairings: Dean/Cas

Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply

Tags: Canonverse, Dreams, UST, Pining

Ever since Cas started staying in the bunker, Dean’s been having these crazy dreams—dreams that feature him and Cas in absurd, tawdry scenarios like something out of a filthy paperback. Dean chalks it up to exhaustion, or some monster messing with his head, anything to ignore the real cause: Cas in his personal space, in various states of undress, and, wow, way more muscular than Dean would’ve expected.

But if it’s just physical lust that’s the cause, then that’s an easy fix, right? No big deal. There’s definitely nothing else that his subconscious is trying to tell him. Absolutely not.

Title: Longing For Home

Author: teacass

Artist: nonexistenz 

Rating: E

Length: 48k

Pairings: Dean/Cas (Sam/Eileen)

Warnings: canon divergent, canon-typical violence

Dean rarely visits the bunker. He knows Sam’s got enough people to spend time with in there, even though they’re all just a bunch of librarians. But then a hunt goes wrong, Dean breaks a leg, and is forced to stay with his brother and all his new research buddies while he recuperates. Soon it turns out it wouldn’t be half as bad if it weren’t for Sam’s constant nagging, all the boring nerd duties they put him on, and the annoyingly good-looking new guy who seems to know exactly how to get under Dean’s skin.

———

A story diverging after season 2 in which Sam doesn’t get stabbed and instead moves into the bunker to become a modern Man of Letters, Dean doesn’t sell his soul for him but continues to hunt, while Cas is not an angel but still pulls Dean out of hell. Not literally, though.

Title: Alrighty Aphrodite Author: hit_the_books Artist: thevioletcaptain Rating: Explicit Length: 38k Pairings: Dean/Cas (brief Cas/Meg, brief Cas/Crowley) Warnings: Homophobia, alcoholic John Winchester, sexual harassment, non-consensual kissing

Dating apps can be an absolute nightmare, but Castiel Novak isn’t giving up on the dating game as he wrestles with creeps, moving house and starting a new job in Lawrence, Kansas. Maybe it’s time for Castiel to realize that love can be found a lot closer to home.

Title: If You Get Lost, You Can Always Be Found Author: @winjennster Artist: @delicirony Rating: Explicit Length: 25k Pairings: Dean/Cas Warnings: April Kelly & 9.03 mentions

Days after I’m No Angel, Castiel finds himself exiled from the safety of the bunker. The money Dean gives him runs out all too soon. Luck, or perhaps divine providence, lands him on the Amish farm of Jacob and Lydia Bieler. The Bielers take Cas in. Despite the Amish’s general distrust of outsiders - Englischers - the strange man who can understand their language and isn’t afraid of hard work seems a natural fit amongst them. Castiel thinks he might just go ahead and stay - the farm seems like a good place to heal his broken heart, and maybe forget who broke it.

Meanwhile, Dean finds himself so wracked with guilt, he can’t stand to see his own face in the mirror. He doesn't know what's worse; the fact that he threw Cas away or that Sam’s unwillingly - and unwittingly - possessed by an angel. Charlie comes for a visit and decides to stay, and it takes her no time at all to call Dean on his bullshit. With her help and encouragement and a plan to deal with the angel in Sam later, Dean and Charlie set out to find Cas and bring him home. But when they find him, Dean’s surprised that Cas doesn’t want to come home, leaving Dean to face some difficult truths about himself - and how he feels about Castiel.

Title: So Much Tangled Thread Author: @thevioletcaptain (imogenbynight) Artist: @sketchydean Rating: Explicit Length: 37k Pairings: Dean/Cas (Sam/Eileen, Charlie/Gilda) Warnings: PTSD, war, plane crash, references to homophobia, sexual content

In 2008, Dean takes over his late grandfather’s tailor shop in Normal, Illinois, and discovers an old leather flight jacket in the attic. A hand-painted set of wings on the back, the name Novak, and a three-quarters sewn circle of red cotton are the only clues he has to the jacket’s origins, and he enlists his historian brother to help him find the owner.

It doesn’t take long for Sam to trace the jacket to Lieutenant Castiel Novak–a pilot who lived in Dean’s apartment until his mysterious disappearance a few years after WWII–and what little information they find about him is fascinating. The guy was a stone cold badass. A stone cold fox, too, if the grainy old newspaper photo is anything to go by.

It’s to be expected that Dean idly wishes he could have known the man as he closes the annoyingly unfinished circle of thread on the jacket.

Less expected, however, is that wish coming true.
