Title: Elementally Castiel
Author: Raven_Fuchs | Artist: @verobatto-messy-art
Summary: Castiel is the youngest in the Novak royal family, a family in a kingdom where everyone is great at something. He worries because he hasn’t found anything that he truly excels at. Everything he tries he does well but he hasn’t found that something special about himself yet.
Everyone believes in Castiel, except for Castiel. He’s so intimidated by his family’s history that he sort of ‘chokes’.
His supportive parents notice that he has an interest in nature and in magic and seems
to have some natural magical abilities though no one is sure how powerful they may be. They send him to study with the mage Dean Winchester in the hopes that Castiel can open himself up to his natural talent.
At first Dean thinks Castiel is a spoiled royal but soon learns that he just lacks confidence. Dean helps Castiel realize his full potential which has lasting effects for the kingdom and its people.

Summary: The day Sam died was the worst day in Dean’s life – and the best. It sounded absurd, but without the death of his brother, his own life would have never taken the turn that brought him a fucking happily ever after.

Summary: Dean is a demigod; a gentle being of the purest love and he’s determined to bring the knowledge of such a precious gift to one and all. Castiel is a warrior, an Angel of the Lord who takes his duties and responsibilities seriously. One day he rescues Dean from his brethren and finds himself enchanted by the ethereal being that stirs emotions within him he has never experienced.
But actions have consequences, and Castiel is targeted for retribution. Dean is tasked with not only saving his love, but the world. While he cradles his gravely wounded love close, Sam offers up a solution. One that is daring, bold, and courageous.
Title: Blindsided by Prophecy
Author: @crowleysmistress | Artist: @samwinjester
Summary: Sam and the team have found a spell to remove the MOC from Dean. Problem is that one of the ingredients is in the past, Time travel is not a deterrent for Sam, if it means saving his brother. Sam & Rowena also get to know each other better, more honestly, intimately and magically. This is something they explore despite initially distrusting each other. Neither know the price magic will extract for this spell.

Author: @b7bubby | Artist: @onowey
Summary: Seelie Fae Dean regales his friends about the interesting models that come through his life drawing class. And then, a VERY interesting model takes center stage in life drawing class.
Title: Sword and The Shield
Author: iCeDreams (@readingprofoundbonds) and Jaeh (@ineffablynoice) | Artist: @colorlessjay
Summary: Castiel’s SoulForge is a laughingstock, a shield, no glory. Mocked by the Garrison, haunted by visions of spiral-toothed monsters, he does the only thing he can: he prays to the statue of Dean Winchester, legendary slayer of Eve.
Dean is real. Alive. Very naked. And very inclined to attack.
Author: June Sirius | Artist: Éliane Lalonde
Summary: The man has been sitting there for ages, looking at the colored window facing south, not moving an inch, as if he has been there since the dawn of time. The afternoon sun shines through the window, casting a shade of blue on the marble floor. His eyes follow the color – deep, weathered, and indescribably sad.
A kind, young student sits next to him, asking if he’s okay.
The weathered man says, “Let me tell you a story. A story from four thousand years ago, about a man named Dean, and a color of blue.”
Author: @ellen-of-oz | Artist: @j-k-t-e
Summary: Dean and Sam Winchester have been hired to hunt down a dragon, but when their hunt goes wrong, Dean finds there’s far more to this dragon than meets the eye.
Title: The Lonely God's Beloved
Author: @12gittens | Artist: @sissyray84
Summary: Castiel, the God of Darkness and Stillness, is attacked by the other gods and forced to hide in the human realm. Enraged, he decides to break the rules as well and create life on his own, which leads to the apparition of the Fay, a race of beings born of magic and nature, living peacefully in the forest. Castiel is mesmerized by the Fay kingdom, and their presence gives his immortal life meaning once again. But when the Fay kingdom falls, leaving the Fay prince called Dean with only Rowena the witch as his family, Castiel feels pushed into exile and hiding once again, until Dean finds him and asks for his help. Castiel feels the love burning brightly in his heart and realizes that he still has something to fight for with all his godly might.
