I'm sort of Dean/Cas-adjacent in that a lot of my first SPN friends - from before I even got into the fandom - shipped it, and also I read a fair amount of fic, because the AU stuff is often full of tropey goodness. But try as I might, I don't care about them in a romantic sense. This season has given me a lot feelings about their canonical relationship, but even then, I'm much more interested in it as a non-romantic one. Adding sex and romance subtract interest for me.
But. It turns out I can totally ship prickly/sexy/fond/unsentimental/bitey Cas/Meg. (Yes. Definitely bitey.) And I can ship casual/fun/experimental Cas/Jo where he's uptight but curious and she's totally willing to show the hot, amusing weirdo the ropes - or just introduce him to cheesy 80s movies. Whichever.
They're neither of them epic, stop the presses ships; they're more about, ah, ships passing in the night and deriving some mutual satisfaction in the encounter. The types of satisfaction vary a little between the ships, but the basic idea's the same. Also there's an element of experienced!lady/inexperienced!guy about each of them, which I like.
Conclusion: I need ladies in my ships. News at 11.
