What happens when your best friend comes from a different culture, a country where he is considered less because his designation. And even though you love him you have to watch how it slowly destroys him. Can he fight back? Can you help him with your love? These are the questions for Dean. If you want to know the answer, you should read iamianweareme's story, Chained To a Comet on AO3.

Ship: Arthur Ketch/Dean Winchester
Tags/Warnings: Hannukkah, Unresolved Grief, Character Study, Jewish mythology, Caring Dean Winchester
Summary: When Arthur Ketch asks for someone to go on a hunt with him, it's Dean that gets the short straw. They end up in a small vacation village that has been seeing too many unexplained murders, and to top it off, they get snowed in - and between that, thinking about his little crush for Ketch, and the monster they came to hunt, Dean also has to worry about Ketch. Something is going on with the ex British Man of Letters, something that has clearly been eating him from inside, and Dean has never seen the usually professional killer so distraught. Little does he know, he will find out a lot more about Ketch, and this will bring them much closer together.
Excerpt: (below)
Ketch, you there?" He tried again, his heart beating faster with worry.
When no answer came, Dean opened the door fully.
Ketch was standing in front of the small desk in his room, giving Dean his back. He was so focused that Dean could move closer without the other noticing, and he stilled, trying to understand what Ketch was doing. At least, he seems to be safe. Thank God for small miracles, Dean internally joked.
Ketch was holding a small, red candle in his hand. Its flame was the light Dean had seen from the outside, Dean guessed, since the main light of the room was actually turned off. A nine-branched candelabrum stood on top of the desk, and Dean kept looking without being able to speak, mesmerized, as Arthur lit the other candle — of a different color, Dean noticed, even though he had no idea wether that was of importance — already on it with the flame of the one in his hand.
"Baruch atah…" Arthur said something in a language Dean didn't know — it wasn't Latin, nor did it sound like any of the languages wanna-be witches he had met before had used.
An inkling told him he knew it, but he couldn't really think, focused on the sight before him.
Ketch's usually stoic face, which Dean had only ever seen adorned by a superior look and an arrogant smirk as he annoyingly made Dean feel like an idiot, was illuminated by the warm light in front of it, and it was now open and full of emotion. A tear was running down his already wet cheek, and his grey eyes, fixed on the flames, showed a vulnerability that almost felt… sacred. Even the black hair had a crown of crimson.
Tags/Warnings: Christmas, Satan Dean Winchester, Castiel and Jimmy Are Twins, Letters to Santa
Summary: Castiel, recently divorced and freshly out of the closet, gets the Christmas present of a lifetime after his niece accidentally sends a letter to Satan instead of Santa.
