Someone I Forgot to Be by MatildaMavis
Summary: Castiel is content - sort of - with his quiet life in Boston...at least, until his new neighbor moves in. It's Dean Winchester, the cliched long lost love of his life. Can these two idiots find their way back to each other after eight years, after fame and loss and heartbreak? After Dean has found love again with Cas' neighbor, Lisa?
Fate can be a sadistic bitch, they've both learned that, but maybe they've matured enough to be able to handle it this time. The sparks, the attraction, the tension.
...or maybe not.
Comments: 8/10. Reminds me a little of Painted Angels by WinJennster, where Cas writes a book about their relationship and Dean’s internalized homophobia. This one isn’t as angsty or as tragic though, it’s like a less intense version. Cas has some very unhealthy coping mechanisms, and Dean is the more stable one for a change. Dean is out of the closet and ready to apologize for his internalized homophobia hurting Cas so long ago.
