Fics like Find You in the Next

Dean enjoys his life in Southern California. He loves his job, has his family close by, and has some pretty awesome friends. There’s nothing in his life to complain about, so why does he feel like something is still missing? That something comes into focus when Dean meets a dark haired, blue eyed stranger on the beach and is left feeling off kilter after their encounter. What follows is a series of random circumstances in which Dean and Castiel keep finding each other in the same place at the same time, and Dean can’t help but feel drawn in by everything that is Cas… and that’s how the dreams start. He can’t explain it, but he dreams about Castiel often, in different time periods and of different versions of him - it’s always Cas, but it’s not always his Cas - and when the dreams begin to feel like intense deja vu, he’s not sure what to think. But all it takes is for one dream to change everything, to force Dean to ask himself the questions he’s been avoiding. One dream will have him wondering what it all means.
