❤ Ignore the Butterflies: Best Friend Advice from Dean Winchester - Words: 114,980 - “Dean likes his doctor, but his doctor doesn’t like him.Accidental friendship ensues, heartwarming bonding type moments occur, and oops!friends become best!friends.But best friends aren’t supposed to feel the way Dean feels about Castiel. He knows this. So he ignores all the things that he can’t help feeling. When he sits and watches a movie with his best friend or when they are arguing about which method of coffee brewing is best, he pointedly doesn’t look at his friends lips, or the adorable way he tilts his head when he doesn’t understand.Dean ignores his feelings.That’s the way he knows how to keep his best friend.Just ignore the butterflies.”
We Are Such Stuff - Words: 62,017 - “Dean and Sam are apparently captured by a djinn, but, while their mutual fantasy world gives Sam the life he'd always wanted, Dean finds himself in a world fueled by desires he'd yet to let himself admit. Faced with his unspoken feelings for Castiel, Dean may be unable to resist temptation.”
❤ Good Things Do Happen – Dr. Sexy Edition - Words: 110,526 - “Dean has hit rock-bottom when he wakes up from a coma after causing an accident while driving drunk. He doesn’t see that it's rock-bottom, though. He believes he's still in free-fall because the darkness that has killed John Winchester and has almost claimed Dean’s life, too, is all he can see.
But then Dr. Novak steps into his life, a guiding light in Dean’s darkest hour, and no one can blame him if he notices just how attractive the doctor is. If it only weren’t for the problem that he’s falling hard for this man, which will most certainly lead to a broken heart and more whiskey. Because that’s what happens when a washed up drunk like Dean Winchester falls for a doctor who is sexier than Dr. Sexy. Or isn’t it?
Then there are also Dr. Novak’s brother Gabriel, who isn’t ashamed of watching Dr. Sexy, and Balthazar, who has a tendency to blurt out the most inappropriate comments at the most inopportune times. And of course don't forget the issue of family. Because Sammy is in Stanford and better off without Dean. And Dean is happy for him, he really is, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still hurt. Or that it doesn’t have to be dealt with if Dean really wants to take up the fight and heal.“

Heartburn - Words: 51,941 - “Dean Winchester, a certified Burn RN, is one of the most dedicated employees the St. Devic Hospital has and today is no different. But when his patient expectantly goes into cardiac arrest and needs to be transferred to the heart hospital floor under the care of one Doctor Novak, Dean can’t help but feel his patient isn’t the only one who’s going to have to get his heart under control.”
Nothing to Moan About - Words: 12,431 - “Doctors Dean and Castiel don't get along, before tragedy forces mostly Castiel to reevaluate.”
❤ Dean Goes to the Doctor - Words: 21,491 - “When Dean wakes up one morning feeling like he swallowed razor blades and his skin is on fire he figures he'd deal with it, but when he coughs up blood he makes the reluctant decision to head in to see his doctor, except his doctor has retired. The new doctor that has taken over his practice is the one and only Castiel Novak, and Dean finds the new doctor more interesting than he wants to, and somehow this doctor gets Dean to come in again. Shortly after meeting the new doctor he gets injured on the job and lands himself in the hospital in need of surgery. The handsome doctor comes to see him and sweet fluffiness ensues.”
❤ ❤ Finding His Voice (TRIGGER WARNING: This fic does mention TW/Rape, and Torture, so beware) - Words: 60k - “Castiel had seen many patients come and go in his years as a psychiatrist, but none of them were quite like Dean Winchester.

There isn't much to want until a car crash changes Dean down to the very core of who he thought he was. Working closely with the Novak brothers, all doctors, changes his life in a way he can't account for.”
❤ What I Need - Words: 46,998 - “A joking phrase commonly heard between a surgeon and his tech is "Give me what I need, not what I ask for." Dr. Novak and his tech Dean will soon learn the impact this phrase has on life outside the operating room.”
By and By - Words: 3,492 - “Not sleeping for around 72 hours is the worst thing you can ever do- but when there's a hot doctor willing to save your ass then maybe it's the best thing you can do.----“And you’re not even supposed to be awake until five more hours.” the man muttered, flipping through a clipboard.“Well,” Dean sighed, “i’m up now so you can let me out.”“You may discharge yourself if you please. But I don’t think that’s smart of you.”Dean frowned tensed, “And who are you to be telling me what’s smart or not?”The man walked further into the light, “I am Castiel and I am your doctor.”

It's also where he likes to observe his gorgeous new neighbor. He hasn't had an opportunity to say hello, until that first Saturday in May, when a series of unfortunate events puts a very naked Castiel right next to him. And what is he to think about that? Especially when said neighbor is even hotter up close, and proves to be a flirt? Flirt back, of course!”
