Prompt was: “AU, Respective friends drag them to a nightclub and they meet.”
This fic and its sequel, Bowling and Coffee, are an adorable take on the mechanic!Dean AU trope, with Cas as a bookstore worker. Bonus Becky and Gabriel for comedic effect, and an extremely well-placed Breakfast Club reference make this story a favorite.

Part of a twitfic series by cloudyjenn, this little set of drabbles is hilarious and super cute. Always good when I'm in the mood for fluff, there are multiple moments in this fic that make me laugh out loud, on top of the silliness/playfulness of the premise.
The Ghost of Embers
moorishflower | NC-17 | no spoilers | no warnings
Dean Winchester's life has been one big clusterfuck. He lost his mother to a house fire when he was a child, and he lost his father to an explosive car accident when he was a teen, and, now that he's a full-grown man, he's losing his brother to college and to distant, sunny California. Dean, determined not to let his pyrophobia or his anxiety over his absent brother ruin him, and desirous of a change that just might fix everything, makes the rashest move of his adult life: a largely unnecessary, almost entirely unplanned move to New York City. Stuck in the middle of a city that has a reputation for chewing up and spitting out the unprepared, Dean's anxieties fluctuate between bad and worse...until he starts to get to know his mysterious and antisocial next door neighbor, Castiel. But mystery isn't always a good thing; Castiel is hiding a secret...a secret that even the cynical Dean Winchester might have trouble believing.
Beautiful and heartbreaking, like I can always expect from moorishflower's fics, this story particularly resonates with me because of my own struggle with anxiety and depression. Hauntingly written, with brilliant characterization, and never fails to make me cry.
