The Best Day Ever

Author: Rex_Writes (@krexhatespushups-blog) Artist:  PetraAmia (@deancodedcastielenby) Rating: Teen and Up Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Featured characters: Castiel, Claire Novak, Dean Winchester, Kaia Nieves, Charlie Bradbury Featured relationships: Castiel & Claire Novak, Charlie & Castiel , Kaia Nieves/Claire Novak, Castiel/Dean Winchester Length: 16,709 words Tags: Alternate Universe-Modern Setting, Death of a Parent (mentioned), Child Abandonment (mentioned), Single Parent Castiel, Castiel and Charlie bestieism, Castiel/Dean Winchester First Kiss, First Date, Everyone Loves a Wedding, Angst with a Happy Ending.

Summary: Empty-nester Castiel is going through a rough patch. His only child, Claire, has left for college after discovering a family secret, and Castiel is at his wit’s end.

In an attempt to distract himself from his worries, Castiel agrees to be set up on a blind date. Blind dates might be the stuff of nightmares, but Dean Winchester is a dream come true: handsome, funny, and a genuinely good person. When Dean is unexpectedly called away, Castiel worries that he scared Dean off with all his talk about Claire. He remembers the simpler times when it was just him and Claire against the world before everything fell apart. But something seems off about his memories and what is the shadowy presence that keeps showing up?

Will Castiel and Claire ever repair their relationship? Did Castiel scare off his dream date? And why don’t his memories feel like his?

Summary: 

“What?”

“You know you’re a terrible liar, kiddo.” He isn't… Or at least he hasn’t been. Castiel has always known how to maintain a lie, even against himself. But right at this moment, he isn't lying. He’s not even attempting to lie. He truly feels fine. mostly.

He tells them just that. “I really am, though. I'm fine. I’m–” Even better. He even feels— “‘m great.”

~~

Or; Single parent Castiel struggling to navigate raising both his baby son, Jack. His now orphaned 13-year-old baby sister, Claire. While attempting to side-step his distant yet controlling and manipulative grandparents. All that is on top of moving to a new city he doesn't know anybody there except his Uncle Michael, a man he rarely was in contact with. While dealing with the crushing grief. Most of all, Castiel is trying to keep his head above water.
