Title: The (Mostly Accidental) Courtship of Dean Winchester [also at AO3]
Rating: R
Pairings/Characters: Castiel/Dean, Sam, Bobby
Spoilers: Spoilers through the S5 finale.
Warnings: Consent issues having to do with marriage (but not sex), brief references to violence and gore.
Word Count: 11,101 words
Summary: Angelic marriage rites were never intended to go quite like this.
Notes: The beginning of this is set after 5x18, which had just aired when I started writing it, but the fic as a whole has spoilers through the finale despite being only partially canon-compliant. I came across a prompt for this in one of the SPN kink memes and made off with it into the night with jmtorres's encouragement. Thanks to the-wanlorn, shirozora, and jmtorres for audiencing, and to jmtorres for lending me her amazing beta skills and several ideas. Thanks to the deancastiel chat for helping me figure out which of three directions I wanted to go with this and for ideas and encouragement, especially to extraonions for the line about assbutt being more menacing in Enochian. I'm including Castiel dragging Sam out of Hell for nel-ani (but I really do have an actual fic on that in the works for you). It really does take a village to get me to finish a fic. There are some consent issues having to do with angel marriage (yes, angel marriage--look, this fic is tagged with "crack" for a reason); the drunken shenanigans have nothing to do with sex, for those worried, and everything to do with some terrible decision making.



( For future reference, if you were an angel who wanted to court a human, Dean was pretty sure you ought to let said human know sometime soon after slapping the initial engagement hand-print on their soul, if not earlier )
