One day deputy sheriff Castiel Novak is out on his usual run, when a guy comes up to join him. They hit it off, and before the day really starts, he has a new running buddy called Sam.

Fast forward a few months, and Sam comes running into the office, all upset because his brother is missing! To top off this eventful day, Castiel finds a dog without a collar.

Summary: 

When he was ten, Dean was a stablehand getting in trouble for not showing a prince his age the proper deference.

By twelve, Dean had learned just how much treating Cas like a regular guy made him smile, and Dean liked that, no matter how much his friendship with Cas angered Cas’s attendants and made Bobby worry.

At fifteen, Dean realized that, somewhere along the line, he’d developed a massive crush on this prince that he wasn’t even supposed to be friends with. He wasn’t going to ever act on it, though. Dean wasn’t that stupid or that cliché.

By the time he was eighteen, Dean was hopelessly learning to accept that he absolutely was that stupid and cliché....and so was Cas.

Now, at twenty-three, Dean knows just how helplessly in love a man can fall, how impossible that love is between a commoner and a prince, and that propriety—even faked—is his best friend in protecting both his life and what little with Cas he can have.

SOMETHING BLUE  |  E  |  72,634

Author: thisisapaige  | Artist: ReverieOfForgotten

After being estranged for three years, Castiel Novak attends Dean Winchester’s wedding. As Cas’s heart breaks watching the man he loves exchange vows with someone else, he reminisces about how he met Dean, how they became best friends, and how it all fell apart.

When Dean and Cas cross paths during the wedding, it’s clear they have unresolved tension between them. Dean reaches out to Cas, wanting to be involved in his life once more. Cas must decide if he will accept the extended hand, or repeat history and flee from his feelings, leaving his life with Dean buried in the past.

Bone tired, Castiel shrugged on his trusty trenchcoat and dragged himself home. Most days he loved walking home, especially after a refreshing shower had cleared the air like today, but now he was on edge, looking around for the smallest sign of something that might be Dean. That was why he noticed movement in the bushes a bit to the side of the road. He approached carefully, not sure what to expect. Whatever he had thought, a bedraggled, wet dog, wasn’t it. “Hello, you,” he cooed. The dog snapped his head up and Castiel gasped. The animal’s light eyes seemed to pierce his very soul. “Wow. You are a beauty, aren’t you?”

The dog laid its pointed ears flat and from the rustling behind it, Castiel deduced it wagged its tail twice. Careful to not spook the animal, Castiel traced the fluffy neck with his hands, looking for a collar, but not finding it. “You’re a stray. I’m too exhausted to take you to a vet. You don’t look rabid, or fleabitten, so I’ll take my chances. Amara might bust my chops tomorrow, but I can’t look into your adorable face and leave you out here. It’s supposed to rain more tonight. C’mon, you fluffball, I’ll give you some burger meat…”

At the word burger, the dog’s ears snapped up and its soulful expression cheered up. A doggy grin appeared and a pink tongue lolled out. Castiel bit his lip. He had no rope or anything to lead the dog home with. “How do I get you to follow me, buddy? I can’t even grip your collar.” The dog did a little head tilt, ears pricked. Then it trotted from the bushes and shook itself, ears flapping and spraying water everywhere. Castiel jumped back with a startled ‘Hey!’ The dog looked at him with that silly doggy grin, and Castiel chuckled. “Alright,” he said, wiping the droplets off his face. “I guess I’ll just hope you’re going to follow me.” He started walking and to his relief, the dog trotted along.

"Fuck!" Castiel screamed, swearing like his mother hated. "Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" He hit the steering wheel with each word, making the horn honk.

Castiel pressed his forehead to the wheel, hiding his head in his arms. This was one setback. Only one setback. He could walk in his uncomfortable dress shoes until his feet blistered and bled and he was sweating under his suit. He could hitchhike, like in On the Road, and try every apple pie along the way.

Well, he could if he had any money. He managed to grab some cash from an ATM before his accounts were frozen, but that hadn't lasted him long. He barely had enough to cover his last tank of gas. He hadn't eaten since last night. He wasn't sure when he would again.

A choked noise escaped Castiel's throat. It was not a sob. It was not a sob. It was not a sob.

Someone knocked on his window. "Hey, uh, buddy?" came a muffled voice. "You okay?"

Castiel sat up. He turned his head, which felt as if it were floating in the clouds. He could see the vague shadowy outline of a person through his window against the bloom of smoke.

"What do you think?" Castiel asked, sharply.

A pause from the other person. "Well, not that bad if you're not passed out. Though if you keep sitting in all those fumes you're gonna regret it."

The mystery person did have a point. Perhaps Castiel's lightheadedness wasn't solely due to his frustration. He told the person to stand back and opened the car door. When he stepped out, his legs turned to liquid. He stumbled.

"Whoa, buddy!" A pair of strong hands gripped Castiel by the shoulders. "You're good. You're okay."

Castiel lifted his head towards the voice and saw an angel. He had a halo, head crowned with the golden rays of the setting sun behind him. His light brown hair waved in the wind, the stands in front of his face framing his delicate features. Those delicate features were deceptive, however, as this mysterious man was filled with strength. The strength radiated from his eyes, bright green in the sunlight and surrounded by long lashes. In them, there was a story, one of hardship where he came out the other side filled with a quiet confidence, with the knowledge he could survive. Castiel's saviour was a warrior angel, like Archangel Michael. Castiel studied the man's hands, half-expecting him to be holding a flaming sword.

The angel cleared his throat. "Buddy? You with me?"

Castiel raised his gaze to his saviour again. The sun had lowered, so he no longer had his halo, but the divinity within him remained.

"Are you an angel?" Castiel asked, his voice breathy, full of childlike wonder. It was an odd thing for him to say. He lost his faith a long time ago. But, in front of this man, this angel, it resurged.

The angel snorted, then shook his head. "Okay," he said, drawing out the word, "you definitely need some fresh air."
