''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/26446129/chapters/64434856 Maybe Sprout Wings]]'' by Casually Neurotic, edited by Hesitate Disintegrate, is a ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'' fic that imagines an A/B/O universe in which no supernatural creatures exist but a human Castiel rescues Dean from sexual slavery and nurses him back to health. The author takes many of the supernatural tropes from the show and grounds them in realism, especially the concept that Dean spends years being tortured in Hell in order to save his brother Sam. Prior to being rescued by Castiel, Dean was owned by a brothel called Hell and has been viciously abused by its proprietor Alastair. Castiel is estranged from his family of wealthy slavers, which includes Michael and Lucifer while Dean wishes to reunite with his brother, Sam, who is a Stanford-educated anti-slavery lawyer. Fan-favorite characters Bobby, Pamela, Benny, Jody, Claire, Kevin, Charlie, Gadreel, Crowley, Meg and especially Balthazar play supporting roles in the story.
