In post-apocalyptic isolation, Castiel nurses Dean back to something like his former self, but will a time come when Dean's recovered --and rediscovered-- too much?
I loved this! It made me cry but it was a good cry. I got really drawn into Dean's emotional state and made me care so much about what he and Cas were going through.
Looking For A Run-In
In which Dean's the ex-pornstar turned bartender, Castiel is the rich weirdo dressed like Columbo, and Sam's the big fancy Lawyer who brought them together by accident.
This is a perfect AU. Everyone is well characterised, it's got a great plot and my favourite thing of all awesome!matchmaker!Sam. YAY!
Bodies From The Tracks bypigeonswerver
Dean and a newly human Castiel wake up at Bobby’s to find that Sam has left in the middle of the night with the Impala, leaving only a vague note behind telling them not to follow him. Assuming that he’s gone to say yes to Lucifer, Dean and Castiel immediately go after him in one of Bobby’s old vans. On the way they get wrapped up in mysterious case after mysterious case, and eventually start to uncover something a lot bigger than what they set out to find. On top of that, they have to deal with their own – highly impractical – feelings.
I really enjoyed this! Nice well-characterised fic with just enough biblical lore to be plausible without going over the top. Loved Castiel's exploration of his humanity and his building relationship with Dean

Never bycharsfic and anyothergirl415
Jensen Ackles is thirty years old and he’s never been with a man before. When he finally works up the nerve to try it out, he thinks picking up a hooker from the street will keep things from getting too complicated. No part of him is ready for the slightly broken Jared and the boy’s wishes for a life he could never have.
I have to say I never liked hooker fics until I read Bulletproof byfleshflutter and that sort of converted me. Anyway, this is really sweet. Nice twist having Jared as the hooker for once and I loved Jensen exploring his sexuality while he gets to know Jared.
But We'll Always Have Our Vending Machines bycherie_morte
Jensen is the new math teacher at Stimson High. On his first day, he meets Jared Padalecki, an English teacher with a killer smile and a little too much time on his hands. Jared is pretty much perfect except for one thing: Jensen has no idea if they’re flirting or just friends.
This is just adorable and had me smiling all the way through it. I do love a bit of J2 fluff
Castiel/Balthazar
Utter and Complete Freedom bylittlehollyleaf
Set shortly after 6.06. Cas runs into Balthazar while making enquiries about Sam.
Don't look at me like that! This is entirely Holly's fault for writing the pairing so damn well that I couldn't help but buy into it.
