Summary:
The good ones are sometimes assholes and always taken.
Review:
This fic has some warm and fluffy romance mixed with a little angst based on an epic misunderstanding. In this AU where everyone is human, Dean meets Castiel while he's bartending for Anna's bachelorette party. Even though he mistakenly thinks that Castiel is the groom-to-be, he's drawn to the other man. They end up becoming friends, and Dean helps Castiel with the rushed wedding plans, including helping pick out title wedding cake flavor. The more time Dean spends with Castiel, the more he realizes that he wants more than friendship from the man he thinks is unavailable. Castiel, on the other hand, is completely confused by Dean's bizarre mixed signals.
There's some great dialog, and characterization; I liked this author's version's of all the characters, who all seemed like themselves while being in an AU romantic comedy setting. There's just enough angst to temper the wackiness. Also, the bakery scene will leave you craving cake.
