Author: @paperannxo (PaperAnn) Artist: @krisn5 Rating: Explicit Pairings: Gabriel/Sam Winchester (Background Dean Winchester/Castiel) Word Count: 71.5K Warnings: Referenced Non-Con (non-graphic), Alpha/Beta/Omega Dynamics, Explicit Sexual Content Summary: It all started because of a stupid lead Sam checked without backup. That was how he found himself caged, used and shrouded by darkness inside an omega trafficking ring. The torture continued for months, until Dean finally unearthed the operation and saved them. While Sam sought justice in court for all the victims, he unwittingly became a media sensation.
Yet, all Sam wants is to fade into the background. Being buried alive puts life in perspective. His dream of traveling seems impossible, so he gets creative. After all, he’s got the cash from a massive settlement.
Sam realizes he doesn’t have to ‘fly’ under the radar, maybe he could ‘ship off—raise anchor?’
Dean’s terrified of Sam disappearing again. He and his mate, Cas, decide to plant a Novak brother in Sam’s path secretly: as a hired bodyguard.
It works, Sam and Gabriel set sail, Gabriel acting as a guide, captain and (covert) watchman…but complications arise. Complications, in the way that Sam learns to trust again and begins falling in love. Complications, in the way that all of Sam’s PTSD medications compromise his nose, because Gabriel is fucking positive: they’re true mates.
A normal around-the-world cruise would be too much to ask for, of course.
Before Castiel went to hell, before angels and demons and the apocalypse, Gabriel met the Trickster. Some things change, some things stay the same, but the story is still about a pair of brothers, and how they saved the world.

Title: Changing Everything Author(s): sammysalive (letmegeekatyou) Artist: uke_sama_sensei Characters & Pairing(s): Sam Winchester/Castiel Milton. Side pairings: Charlie Bradbury/Dorothy Baum, Anna Milton/Jo Harvelle, Dean Winchester/Lisa Braeden. Other characters: Kevin Tran, Ben Braeden Rating: G Word Count: 19,329 Warning(s): Mild PTSD Summary: Castiel’s store is full of books that have been well-loved. He isn’t interested in books that find their way easily in the world; he prefers the damaged ones. His own damage, he keeps hidden away: he keeps his shop neat and his apartment private, keeps his life orderly and small. Small until he meets Sam, the not-so-small owner of the bakery next door, that is. Sam is outgoing and happy and ignores Castiel’s “No Food or Drinks” sign. He’s got his own damage, but he’s kind, and maybe, Cas thinks, he can make room for someone else in his orderly little life.
Author’s Note: I am very indebted to a few people who helped make this story so much better than I could have made it on my own. uke-sama made the most adorable art for this story, and working with her motivated me to work harder and make sure the story lived up to the sweetness of her drawing. songsaboutsleep is full of inspiring ideas and pushed me through a ridiculous writer’s block by suggesting I think more about Cas’s military past. yeswayappianway and featherleftbehind were the best betas I could have asked for, encouraging and insightful and just fantastic in general.
Dean nearly choked on his soda when he saw Castiel Novak come out of literally nowhere and linebacker tackle his brother. The camera jostled for a moment, the operator clearly taken aback, but it refocused again, just in time for Cas to throw an elbow into Michael’s face.
At least one person was reacting to this situation like a normal human being.
The segment was still going when his buzzer rang. Honestly, when was Sam going to learn to take the key that didn’t stick? But when he opened the door, it wasn’t Sam standing on the other side.
“Hello, Dean.”
Dean took a step back to let him in.
“Guess CNN didn’t air that live.”
He gestured at the TV, barely visible through the kitchen area. Cas grimaced as he watched his past self pummel Michael into the ground.
“Not one of my finer moments.”
Even through his fear, Dean had to smile at that.
“Dude, are you kidding me? That was the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
He wouldn’t have ever expected that from Cas, but then again, he was surprisingly beefy despite the whole mad scientist vibe.

The cuteness of the two brothers hugging had melted my internal organs. After we — mostly Dean — ate all the pies, the kids went to Cas’s room to burn off some sugar. We skipped ice cream for now. Which left me and the handsome teenager sitting on the couch. Alone.
Gabriel’s got enough to deal with, moving and raising his baby brother Cas. When Cas’s “imaginary” little friend Sammy shows up on their doorstep, though, things get complicated fast.
