Summary: After being blinded as a boy in an act of heroism, Castiel Novak was left with some extra-sensory abilities — abilities which make his lawyer-by-day, vigilante-by-night lifestyle not just possible, but necessary. Known as “the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen” to some, and an avenging angel by others, Castiel has worked hard to balance his two lives while keeping his identity a secret. Sending the criminal kingpin of New York City’s underbelly to prison without killing anyone or blowing his cover was no small feat, but he did — because he believes in God, and he believes in the justice system.
But when another vigilante enters the scene, taking justice into his own hands and threatening to upend everything he’s worked for, Castiel struggles to keep the faith. Even more so when the Kingpin is released from prison and rigs the justice system to his own favor, all but raising the war flag against vigilantes and superheroes.
As it turns out, he and “The Punisher,” Dean Winchester, may have more in common than Cas would like to admit. They work through their hatred and seemingly clashing ideologies to bring the Kingpin down.

Destiel Trope Collection - Day 19: Fix-it Fic (Canon Rewrite)
When Dreams Come True | @Avonlady42 Rating: Explicit Word Count: 65,616 Main Tags/Warnings: Canon Divergent from Season 14 Ouroboros Episode; Dean Winchester has a wing kink; Bottom Dean; Castiel is a fully powered angel; Happy Ending; Fluff and smut; plot twist Summary: After Chuck is defeated, Jack forces Dean and Cas to finally admit their feelings to each other and gives Cas his wings back in the process. They end up getting there happily ever after while Sam settles down with Eileen. Ten years they spend together as a couple, hunting when they need to, but mostly living the domesticated life Dean always wanted and Castiel always wanted him to have. Unfortunately, it all comes crashing down one day when Castiel goes on a hunt and doesn’t make it home. Dean will do whatever it takes to get the love of his life back and ends up getting more than he bargained for when he finds him again. This fic is canon compliant through Season 14 and starts off during the Ouroboros episode S14E14, from there it becomes Canon divergent with some of the rest of Season 14 and Season 15 being the same, but slightly different. S15E20 doesn’t exist and there is an alternate storyline 10 years into the future.

The Holy and the Righteous | @friendofcarlotta Rating: Explicit Word Count: 21,506 Main Tags/Warnings: Post-15x19 (15x20 Does Not Exist), Angel Cas, Purgatory, Top Cas/Bottom Dean Summary: Chuck has been defeated, and Dean and Sam are finally free. Freedom is all Dean wanted, or so he thought, but life has felt like a chore lately. Might have something to do with the fact that Cas is up in Heaven and hasn’t so much as stopped by to say hello since Jack busted him out of the Empty. Everything changes when sinkholes begin to appear all over the globe and the air is awash with whispers of a strange, powerful entity. It turns out that in rearranging the afterlife, Jack and Cas have woken something that should never have been woken. And, according to a book of prophecy in the Men of Letters library, it’s up to Dean and Cas to sort it out… together. Should be fine, right?
What's Left to Want | @gayngelcastiel Rating: Mature Word Count: 15,353 Main Tags/Warnings: Post-Canon Fix-It, Dean Winchester Character Study, Exploration of Dean's Past, Homophobic John Winchester, Dean Winchester Comes to Terms With His Own Bisexuality, Implied/Referenced Alcohol Abuse/Alcoholism, Past Teen Sex Worker Dean (not explicit), Dean's Dreams, Sam Winchester Ships Castiel/Dean Winchester, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, Happy Ending, Castiel is Still An Angel (technically). Summary: Dean Winchester hadn't wanted anything in a long time. When he was young, he’d cried himself to sleep wanting his mother back, and when he was older, he'd wasted time wishing his father wouldn’t leave for another month-long hunt. It didn’t take long for Dean to learn that wanting was just the shortest route to disappointment. So, from an early age, he learned to focus on what he needed instead: to keep Sammy safe, have food in his belly, and always obey his father. As he got older, the needs changed, but the pattern remained the same. He needed to hunt monsters, save the world, and drink himself into a stupor more often than he’d care to admit. When other needs arose, he satisfied them with whichever woman would have him for the night, always careful never to want anything—or anyone—beyond what was necessary for survival. Needs were simple—uncomplicated, instinctual, and painless. Wanting, on the other hand, was for suckers, for lucky bastards naïve enough to believe life was fair. Dean knew better; he knew the darkness, and the monsters in it, were real. So, whenever Dean’s subconscious betrayed him by dreaming up the things he wanted, he dutifully ignored it.

Temporary Amnesia, Established Relationship, Angel Castiel (Supernatural), Mutual Pining Summary: Cas arrives in 2003 with no memories, no purpose, and no one by his side. Meeting and falling in love with Dean changes everything. But when Cas is captured and tortured by a witch, he’s given the first clue to unravel who he really is. A new prophecy. A Heaven on the brink of rupture. Two brothers with a bloody destiny closing in. And Castiel, burdened with a duty he will complete—no matter the cost.
Heat lightning | @norahastuff Rating: Mature Word Count: 14,354 Main Tags/Warnings: 15x20 does not exist, except for Cas to subvert, late night conversations, wine bar dates, The Power of Love TM Summary: "Maybe Dean was crazy. He was smoking a Newport that had burned down to its filter and having a one-sided conversation with a potentially non-existent celestial being that lived in the sky. He owed the bible-thumpers an apology; turned out faith was easier to fall victim to than he’d thought." Winning is the easy part. Since the end is no longer nigh, all that’s left to do is live. Easier said than done, but Dean’s not giving up. Not when he’s on the verge of getting everything he’d never even dreamed of letting himself want. There’s no margin for error here. Not now. Not with Cas. He has to get it right this time. For Castiel, duty has always come before anything else. His wants, his desires have never really been relevant. Dean seems to think they are, though, and Castiel has no idea what to do with that. Maybe it’s about time he let himself figure it out.

He still carries his love for Dean, though, and it ain't exactly unrequited. All that's left is for Dean to open his mouth and talk about his feelings. Piece of cake, right?

When Tommorow Comes | @teeparadigm67 Rating: Explicit Word Count: 78,994 Main Tags/Warnings: Season 15 rewrite, Canon-Typical Violence, Empty Rescue, Implied/Referenced Character Death, Eventual Happy Ending, Castiel Saves Dean Winchester, Dean Winchester in the Empty Summary: When hunting for the Leviathan blossom, Castiel gets taken. Tired, desperate and wanting to tell him all the things left unsaid before it’s too late, Dean prays to him. But he realises... standing there, in the grey hellish landscape, the portal home flickering just beside them with seconds left on the timer, they were already too late. Running himself ragged fuelled solely by caffeine, whisky, and that trademark Winchester determination, he will find a way to stop Chuck and to save Cas. However, this isn't the blaze of glory Dean had always envisioned going out in. But, deep down, he would go out swinging to save a loved one. Those bright shining penetrating tear-soaked eyes are the last thing he sees before his vision is marred, the desperate plea of his name dampened by the black ooze filling his eardrums as the essence of the Empty wraps around him and pulls him from existence into the dark. All because of that simple prayer, the ending Chuck had always planned was rewritten.

Unsure how to fix the situation, and with Mary and Sam aiding the hunters from the other world on a hunt, Dean and Castiel are left alone at the bunker to care for baby Jack, where more than one revelation will unfold.

Because Castiel gets gravely injured in the fight, Dean resists the urge to isolate himself, and instead returns to the bunker with his friend and Sam, determined to put an end to the fallen angel madness, and also, perhaps, try to understand why, after everything he’s done, Castiel still stands by his side.

You mean what would he have responded to in that moment had he had the time? That’s interesting because I have an answer for that, and I had an answer for that in the next setup, camera setup after Castiel was taken and Dean’s on the floor and puts his, I put my head in my hands. In that moment I did that not because I just lost, well because I lost Cas but also because I didn’t say anything, I didn’t give him anything. And what I had in my head was I should have said, ‘I love you, too’ and hugged him.
