Summary
Dean praying to Castiel in the dungeon after the empty took him, but I used the "My Dear Arthur" letter from red dead as my inspo and Dean’s prayer is based off of it throughout the fic :)
I had thought of the "I don't imagine you'll receive this letter, but I, nonetheless, must send it" and that made me think of how Dean probably had prayed to Cas after watching the empty take him, even though he knew Cas wouldn't have heard him, so that's where the idea was born lol.

Summary
Finally, Dean can see himself with brutal clarity, and he hates it.
When Jody lets slip that Cas has returned from the Empty without telling him, Dean hits a wall—literally. Confronted with his own toxic patterns, he decides to undertake the painstaking, painful work of recovering from a lifetime of trauma, abandonment, and repression. As expected, it friggin' sucks.
Unfortunately, Dean's Journey of Personal Transformation™ is about to be derailed, because a new evil is rising and it's eating away at the foundations of the world. Bigger than Jack, bigger than Amara, it threatens the fundamental bond between all things. Sam, Dean, and their allies are summoned once more to the fight—only to find, there are no coincidences when dealing with the supernatural.
What's wrong with the Cupid arrows? Why are the demon deals getting annulled? How did Cas escape the afterlife version of Azkaban? Will Sam be able to choose between the two most amazing women he's ever met? Who will Dean find when he braves the darkness inside?
Can he bring himself to forgive Cas one more time?
And what's love got to do with it?

Summary
Lightning doesn't strike the same place twice. Until it does. Castiel knows all too well that the path to hell is paved with the purest of intentions. Freshly flung out of the Empty with Gabriel as the angel (devil?) on his shoulder, the brothers wake up in unfamiliar vessels as an invisible string pulls Cas back to his righteous man. When sparks fly for the second time, will he finally be able to bask in the warm embrace of Dean's love or will his deception burn it all down?
Or
The one where Gabriel convinces Cas to possess a female vessel once they escape the empty and meet Dean for the 'first time' to find out if his feelings are unrequited like he believes them to be and finally answer the burning question on everyone's mind; is Dean Winchester actually straight?
P.s. As a millennial who longs for the days of posting cryptic song lyrics on your socials to alert everyone to your current emotion state, all chapter titles will be song lyrics. Enjoy.

Summary
I have seen in the movies Dean has made me watch, that when a man becomes stranded, he oft will keep a journal to recount the events. Sam claimed that was a ‘bullshit exposition excuse to keep the story moving.’ I have neither ‘bullshit exposition’, nor do I have a pen, but I will carefully and accurately recount my time in the Empty. If someone is to ever find my broken soul, I hope they will be able to understand and extract this… Journal, of mine.

Summary
What if Buck weren´t just a normal longhorn? What if there would be something more in his DNA? Something darker? Something…more mutual?
This story is pure from my imagination and based on the TV-Series Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss and BlueSpike9997´s „Hellaverse School AU´s. It theoretically takes place after the events of the good ending, but I think, I will bring in some parts of the bad ending (such as magic, but this time for other characters than Alastor). Check her TikTok-Channel out (@zerochan21) if you want to see the original story. I own nothing of this. And thanks to you, BlueSpike9997, giving me the permission to publish this, MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING!!! This story takes place after the good ending of the Highschool AU. If you didn´t read it now, please watch it first. You can find it on the mentioned TikTok-Channel. -

A Communal Digging of a Very Shallow Grave by ramblingblademp3

Summary
Cas leans back into his space, sturdy. "I promise, I would not do anything that would put myself or our family in danger."
Michael throws a tantrum inside Dean someplace between his feet and the top of his head, he digs into the bars of Dean's ribs and contorts Dean's soul around his grace. Cas sees none of this, or more likely he does, and ignores it for Dean's sake. He laughs at the absurdity of it all. "So what you said, about me still be being me. It's not true then?" Cas doesn't respond. Waves of grief wash over them, it's a wonder Dean can still breathe. He inhales. "Cause then you wouldn't kiss me. You wouldn't kiss me. I wouldn't want you to kiss me."
Cas does anyway. The darkness doesn't come.
Dean learns about Castiel's deal with the Empty, and what's worse, he's got a pretty solid idea about what (or who) might trigger it. Dean and Castiel start hooking up in secret, where Dean turns selfish and cruel to keep the happiness at bay, Castiel remains closed off, believing if he can keep himself from being present, then he can stay at Dean's side just a bit longer. This is the way they can have each other. No matter how much it hurts.
