Summary: “Why Professor Winchester,” Krissy mocks. “You’ve got someone special on the line and you’re ignoring them for us?”
“Zip it, Chambers.” He points a finger at her. “Y’all are great, but not that good. We clear on that?”
“Sure,” she teases. “As long as they know they’re coming in second to Billy Pilgrim right now.”
“Everyone comes in second to Billy Pilgrim. Hashtag life hack.” Dean retorts.

Summary: Cas finally has what he’s been working towards for years and though clubs aren’t really his scene he allows Gabe to take him out to celebrate. It was wonderful. Meeting his true mate, connecting the way they had and now he’s on cloud nine. If only Dean hadn’t needed to rush off to rescue a friend before they could properly exchange contact information.
Still, Cas is floating high when he enlists his brothers help to find Dean. After all, he found his true mate once by sheer luck. How hard can it be to find him now that he’s looking?
A week later, on his first day of teaching, Cas is horrified to discover Dean’s his student at the local high school and everything comes crashing down on him.
Now what?
Even trying to do the right thing doesn’t do any good when all the dominoes in Cas life start tipping over.
All because he met his True Mate a couple of years too soon.

Main Tags/Warnings: firefighter Cas, teacher Dean, strangers to lovers, fluff
Summary: Dean shivered when a group of firefighters came trooping out, all of them wearing their fitted dark blue T-shirts, sporting big grins for the kids and doling out high-fives. One in particular, with almost startlingly blue eyes and arms that would drive an angel to sin, caught Dean’s eye.

Main Tags/Warnings: Firefighters, Fluff, Fire, friends to lovers
Summary: Getting the call almost brings him to his knees. Looking back, he’ll have no idea how he even got suited up - probably with Benny’s help - and will have no memory of the ride to the Novak residence. All he’ll remember is standing paralyzed in front of Cas’s house and watching flames lick at the curtains in the living room, thinking, Oh, God, I never told him.
Wet Socks | @surlybobbies

Main Tags/Warnings: Teacher Cas, Teacher Dean, strangers to lovers, AU
Summary: Wet socks. Dean is unfortunately all too familiar with the sensation, and so are the rest of the teachers at Mercy Heights High - and so it’s a surprise that no one’s thought to have mercy on the new guy and tell him that the parking lot tends to flood.
Dean, looking out from his second floor classroom window, winces sympathetically as he watches Castiel Novak sullenly slosh his way through the ankle-height water. The new philosophy teacher’s displeasure is evident even at a distance.
“Sorry, kids,” he says, shooting a look over his shoulder at the students eating lunch in his classroom, “Looks like Dr. Novak’s having a bad day.”
