I have two fics that are on my mind and I cannot find anywhere. I remember reading both in 2016 so they are from a while back.
1. The first is set in a 'verse where there is no supernatural. Castiel is aro-ace who has his birthday. As a gift his friends (I think it was meg and Gabriel) buy him a night with a sew worker and lo-behold- Sam arrives. They don't do anything and the story follows their relationship and coming to terms with themselves and defining what they mean to each other. If it helps- Meg was there and got into a fight with castiel in the middle somewhere casue he was being invasive.
2. Fic number 2 is sam centric and I think is about the time he runs away and meets Bones the dog. He somehow ends up in an abandoned building and makes friends with a ghost girl who is able to pass on after talking with him. I remember she attempted to kill some hunters and sam just goes "you shouldn't do that."- dunno if this is connected, but i keep remembering sam ruining his shoes by running so much and its really angsty. I connect to this, but i don't know if it is a different fic by the same author or something entirely different
Any help would be appreciated!! I know the stories but cannot figure out where they are
