Title: The Way the War was Won
Author: deans 1911
Fandom: Supernatural
Pairing(s): Dean/Castiel
Rating: Explicit
Genre: AU, Romance
Word Count: ~39,000
Summary:
Dean and Cas are buddy cops faking a marriage for the benefits and tax breaks. Except for the part where Dean’s sort of actually in love with his partner and doesn’t realize it yet.
Why You Should Read This:
This was a really interesting take on a not so interesting trope. Dean, who does suffer from some slight PTSD from his tours in the war (be safe kids!) and his best friend Cas, really can’t live without each other. It takes them a while to figure that out. It’s a nice thing to watch develop, and Sam’s few scenes are great, as well.
