Supernatural AU Fic

Title: Deo Volente
Author: Spaghettitoes
Fandom: Supernatural….technically
Characters/Pairing: Dean/Castiel
Word Count: ~35.5k
Rating: NC-17 Ultimately

Warnings: AU – this story has about as much to do with Supernatural as I do. Death/Afterlife. Religion – quite a lot of it, the bastardisation of genuine prayers.

Disclaimer: The fact that I’m still not working on this show may explain S7 – just saying CW, I did offer.

Summary: Dean and Castiel are monks, ordained as priests and serving a quiet little village not far from the border with New Mexico. The two are getting to know each other when the paranormal intervenes and causes them to rethink a few things.

A/N: You could say I have a priest kink but you’d be more accurate in saying I have a religious kink. Too often a priest kink is presented as a costume thing and the rest overlooked but there’s something about the kind of person who dedicates their entire life to religion that is also very intriguing. This is the story of two people who find something in the other they had never expected to receive in life. Along the way they have to consider their view of the world and God.
Beta’d by my darling Wildepet and as AU as it gets; I’m only using the names Dean and Castiel in recognition of the fact that the characters look like them.

*stifles giggles that you used to watch Cadfael*

I'm fairly sure I gave canon!Dean $20 and sent him to the movies with canon!Cas. But I'm glad you could separate them out and yeah, most of the similarities were coincidences. I made a point when I was checking for the first time to remove things that were stereotypically Cas or Dean (like the head tilt) unless it actually made sense within the characters. Luckily, I didn't do too much anyway (I hope!).

Eeee - and yes, you noticed all the things I was going for with the psychology of the characters, basing it on their personal histories and experiences.

Re the ending. Funnily enough (and I'll show you my original notes if you doubteth me) my original plan was to have them leave the monastery because of the contradiction. But then I really got into the characters and who they were and I realised (around June cos I discussed it with wifey in Berlin) that Dean was just too integral to the community, not only would he have nothing but Castiel were they to leave but I realised that Tobin was basically raising an heir, someone to protect the entire village. Hey, it's not like the church haven't protected their members from worse acts with far less noble intentions.

*cuddles* But I'm so glad you liked it.
