Hate when a fic is labeled slow burn and the author says it’s gonna be extremely slow burn but the characters already like each other

Like I want to see the leading up to them even having feelings for each other, type of slow burn, not them just get into a relationship type of slow burn.

And like why is it only one chapter and less than 10k

Like I need to see the evolution of them even having feelings for each other, not start the fic with them already having these feelings.

Please someone tell me if this makes sense

The Hanged Man

The Hanged Man by orphan_account Rating: Mature Word Count: 87k

After Park Ranger Cas Novak saves a mysterious stranger named Dean from an attempted murder in the woods, he finds himself drawn into the man's secretive life. Someone tried to kill Dean, but he's not telling who. In fact, he's barely speaking at all. If he's going to have any hope of helping Dean, Cas will have to convince the man to trust him — all while trying not to fall in love with him along the way.

From the start, a hint of the supernatural offers readers a mystery that takes twists and turns you'll never expect. Dean is found by Park Ranger Castiel hanging from a tree. It's suspected to be a suicide, and since when Dean recovers, he won't speak, no one knows that it was actually his father who hung him by force.

Dean is terrified, damaged, and has so many trust issues it would take the most patient person in the universe to wade through them. Fortunately, Cas is the most patient person in the universe.

Dean slowly comes out of his shell the longer he's with Castiel, beginning to speak a word or two but only to Cas, and doing some mechanic and general work at the park ranger's station. Bobby, the lead park ranger, takes a special interest in him, giving him work and even paying him a little under the table since no one knows exactly who Dean is.

But when his father is spotted searching for him, Dean tries to run, coming back to Cas only with the promise of safety and protection. But when the truth about Dean's origins comes to the surface it's darker than Castiel could have ever imagined.

As their feelings grow, Dean and Cas find comfort in each other as the rest of the world unravels around them. A gorgeous story of love, hope, and survival.

A Glacial Pace

Author: ixia_ixora | Artist: Aggiedoll

Posting on Tuesday April 16

Tired of his simple and conforming life, Castiel decides to move away from his city life to a small town by the mountains in Montana. Deciding to begin this new chapter of his life with an adventure, Castiel signs up for a hike across a glacier. With his heart in his throat and a hot hiking guide named Dean Winchester on his knees to help him with the harness, Castiel manages the hike, coming back time after time; for the nature and for Dean. A small town leaves little room for anonymity and between his shifts at the hospital and the glacier hikes, Dean is determined to not let Cas waste his time away in his small apartment. And it doesn't take long until a friendship is formed between them. But Castiel didn't leave the city without reason and there is only so long he can keep his real life at bay. Or Castiel finds himself on top of a glacier with a certain green-eyed man who will change the trajectory of his life in the most unexpected of ways.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

“Hey, it’s fine,” Dean says, moving in front of Castiel and places his other hand on Castiel’s other shoulder. “Breathe with me.”

Castiel glances over Dean’s shoulder, looking at the other people in the glacier. Dean ducks his head down, trying to catch his eyes.

“Hey,” he smiles gently as Castiel focuses on him. His eyes are very green in the warm sun. “Breathe in.”

Castiel takes a deep breath, feeling it fill his lungs and stomach. He closes his eyes, concentrating on the air in his chest. When he feels Dean breathe out he does the same.

“If you fall into the glacier it won't be more than a few feet, the rope will catch you and we will drag you up,” Dean says, thumbs rubbing circles on Castiel’s shoulders. “There’s nothing to worry about, I’m right behind you,” Dean repeats. “And if you do fall it’ll be a hell of a cool story to tell later on.”

Hiiii I've just posted chapter 1 of my Hell's Kitchen AU where Dean is competing, and Cas is a sous chef. Here's a snippet for you:

If You Can't Stand the Heat...

Walking into the dining room for the first time, Dean felt a wave of terror that he hadn’t anticipated. Suddenly he felt wildly out of place, and shoved his hands into his pockets in the hopes that their shaking wouldn’t give him away to the others as someone weak to pick off. 

They gathered around the kitchen’s pass in a semicircle, that heady mixture of arrogance and bravado that had followed some of the group from the bus was beginning to subside, sending nervous ripples through the group. Dean rocked backward on his heels a little, hoping to appear nonchalant. He was seriously considering walking straight back out through the front doors and hitching a ride to a gas station Bobby might pick him up from when he heard footsteps in the corridor behind the kitchen. A sharp elbow caught him in the ribs, and his head snapped to the left where his eyes found Charlie beaming up at him, almost vibrating with excitement. He smiled back, some of his nerves abating. 

The footsteps in the corridor materialized as Chef Crowley strode into the kitchen and walked up to face the group from behind the pass. He was a little shorter than Dean had expected, though he had no doubt that infamous personality more than made up for that. 

‘Welcome to Hell’s Kitchen!’ Crowley smiled as he said it, but it was devious more than it was friendly. The group applauded and some cheered, though Dean was having a little trouble breathing enough to remain conscious, let alone cheer. He’d followed Crowley’s career for years, studying his recipes and keeping track of his accolades, hoping that one day he’d see his own name in similar headlines and articles. ‘Each of you had been selected out of the thousands of applicants from all across America; you showed potential, talent and passion in your applications, and I have high hopes for each of you. With that said, it’s time for you to cook your signature dish. I want to see what you’re about. 

‘Before you get into the kitchen, I’d like to introduce you to your sous chefs. For the red team, he’s a celebrated and highly awarded chef with five Michelin stars, most recently for the incredible desserts at his flagship restaurant Angel’s Food Cake on the east coast. Everyone please welcome Castiel Novak.’ Applause and cheers broke out among the group of chefs as Castiel walked through the back door to the kitchen and made his way to stand beside chef Crowley. His gaze swept across the chefs crowded in front of him, appraising each of them in turn. His eyes rested on Dean for a moment before Crowley began to speak again.

So when he spends the best night of his life with a man who calls himself Emmanuel, he knows right away that nothing more will ever come of it. It doesn't even matter that Dean's unable to really forget the guy many weeks and months later, that is just the life. But then Sam ends up cursed on a hunt and after a long and ultimately futile search they find themselves with only one option left to save him: the healing abilities of an angel. Namely, the Fallen One. Castiel. Dean's never heard of the guy before, but if he's really capable of curing his brother, so be it. He is in for a rather big surprise, though, when he suddenly sees himself confronted with a very familiar face and soon enough his life is turned upside down in a fairly inconvenient manner. + (In which Dean realizes he slept with an angel of the freaking Lord, has a major freak-out about it, and then, to his own chagrin, can't stop thinking about doing it all over again as he and his cursed brother end up cohabiting with the angel in question.)

Dean Winchester has been named team captain against his will. He's still closeted despite starting his twelfth season in the NHL. Those are only two of the reasons that the pressure may actually kill him this time. One career Islander, one new addition to the roster, both veterans of professional hockey who instantly connect on (and off) the ice and are pushed even closer together by supportive friends, time spent both together and apart, various flavors of dysfunctional family dynamics... and, of course, the drive this year like every year to take home the Stanley Cup.

The Seventh Prince by LicieOIC

Suptober 2022 - Day 10 - Theme: Enchanted Supernatural AU - Royalty/Medieval Rating: Teen (for now) Pairing: Dean/Castiel Summary: Winchesters were lucky, or so Dean had been led to believe. The story went that all Winchester men were born under a shooting star, which was why their sigil was a star surrounded in flames. He didn’t know if it was actually true or just something the midwives kept going, but whatever the case, fortune seemed to follow them like a shadow. He loved the life of a knight and it loved him. Whether it was in tourneys or training skirmishes, Dean was not easily beaten. It was all he’d ever wanted; all he’d ever known. Until the day the swans flew overhead. And everything changed. Notes: Based on the fairy tale The Wild Swans. I wrote this as a short story for Suptober 2020 with the idea that someday I might expand it to a full fic. I figured why not start posting what I have for Suptober 2022. I hope you enjoy it!

Of Dust, Gunpowder and Holy Water

Author: melancholictearz | Artist: kireadraws

Posting on Saturday March 16

Castiel is a vampire hunter tracking the creature that doomed the rest of his family to damnation. He crosses paths with Dean Winchester, a cocky outlaw wanting to escape from his mysterious past. They travel together all around the country to fulfil Castiel's revenge, at the cost of Dean's life. But he comes back… wrong. As one of the bloodthirsty threats Castiel always swore to kill.

Keep reading for a sneak preview!

“You mind telling me what you were doing by the waterfall?” Dean strikes a match, burning the end of the needles he is going to use. The silvery metal turns dark.

“I was being chased by people.”

With the remaining flame of the match, Dean removes the cigarette tucked behind his ear and lights it. The stranger narrows his eyes at the plume of smoke stretching between them.

“Pinkertons,” Dean rectifies in the huff of a laughter, cigarette hanging loosely on his lips. “Running from debts or somethin’?”

“Something. You?”

Dean stops in setting up his stuff to glare at the injured man. He’s already patching him up, he’ll better not push his luck too far. “Not quite your business. What was your plan?”

He squints. “Quite chatty, aren’t you?”

Dean shrugs, cocking his head to one side while he exhales the tobacco smoke from his nose. “Well, I’m distracting you from the pain and trying to make sure you won’t kill me if I turn my back to you. So?”

He is standing a few metres away from the bed, chin tilted at the stranger. The man considers the knife and needles in his hands, before nodding at Dean and moving his legs away to let him sit down on the bed.

“Running away. Was planning to go to the Independence mountains.”

“Why?” The smoke from Dean’s lips crashes onto the fallen angel’s cheek as his hands unravel the bandage around his neck. Dean’s voice rumbles quietly in the shell of his ear.

“Got someone waiting for you?”

“Maybe.” The stranger glances at him from the corner of his eye. “Going to ask for a ransom?”

The bandage is removed from his neck. The cold air on the raw gunshot wound makes him shiver. Dean laughs at the man’s self-assured suggestion.

“Nah, not worth it. I’ve never seen your face around. Not even on the wanted posters.”

“I’ve seen yours.”

“Have you?” Dean tenses. Their eyes meet and he studies his guest carefully.

“You have the name of that rifle. Remington? No…” He frowns, having a hard time thinking with his foggy mind. “Winchester. Quite a mouthful.”

“What’s yours?”

The stranger holds Dean’s eyes. His eyes flicker to Dean’s hands around his neck, the slight pull of his eyebrows. His lips part and, for a second, he remains silent. Maybe it is time he starts trusting Dean and proves himself not to be dangerous. “Novak.”

“Father Novak it is, then. How come you survived the bullet? Prayed the Lord to spare your sinful life or something like that?”

The man, Novak, glances at Dean passing the thread through the needle. “Because you are one shitty shooter, that is.”

“You lucky bastard.”
