I've lost the link to a WIP I have been reading. It was about a series of dreams Dean has been having for years where he has a friend/friends whom he can't see but he feels safe and relaxed and loved and he's pretty sure he has wings. He, at some point, tries to explain this situation to Castiel who reacts very strongly and badly to it - something to the point of it being horrible that Dean was saying/dreaming this.
I'm not sure how helpful this description is, but I do recall that the story description did not rule out future dean/cas or dean/gabe (though I may be misremembering that last one, as I tend to do).
