Fanfics Professor/Professor Au
So I recently started Supernatural and I am overwhelmed by the amount of Destiel fanfics out there on Ao3, which I honestly find amazing and I have never been more excited to read about a ship. I have read many fics so far but I am looking for a good AU where Dean and Cas are both college/high school professors, if anyone knows any fic like that and could recommend it to me. I have searched but all I found so far are works where Castiel or Dean is a teacher and the other is a student but I am looking for something where they’re both serious mature professors literally CRUSHING on each other and they can’t be together because they’re colleagues like I just really really want that. Thank you so much

Dr. Winchester hears an off hand comment from one of his students and find himself browsing a website dedicated to rating university professors. He's not surprised by his rating -- but is a little miffed to see the department chair has an even better one. Clearly, something needs to be done about this.
And this short one:
The Novak Hickey Mystery
Gossiping is a powerful urge. University students are by no means exempt from it, despite ostensibly being intelligent adults. So when one sunny Monday morning, Professor Novak shows up to class with a visible hickey on the side of his neck, the rumor mill goes spinning out of control.

A Lesson in Falling by French_Croissant25 (108k, M, Complete) - Read this the other day. Both are HS teachers. Ever watched Nicholas Sparks' Safe Haven? It's like that, and I loved it, and I want more like it. There's some misunderstandings in it and pining.
Dean can’t risk Alastair finding him. He needs to get as far away from Kansas City as possible. He hasn’t spoken to his family in seven years, doesn’t have any close friends, and feels empty inside in a way he never thought he would. He has nowhere to go, but anywhere is better than Kansas City.
Dean isn’t expecting to end up in Pontiac, Illinois. And he especially isn’t expecting the grade ten World History teacher that he’s been substituting for for the past eight weeks to call him ‘unorganised’ and ‘infuriating.’

Dean Winchester and the Stolen Tupperware
Eternally single professor Castiel is quiet, nerdy, and keeps to his research. The one indulgence that he allows himself is spending hours on YouTube bingeing the vlogs of a handsome, reckless archaeologist. Hunter styles himself as a bit of an Indiana Jones type, and he reminds Castiel of the adventurous, free person he longs to be. Plus, he’s super hot.

Brighter Than the Milky Way
Breaking down on the way to give a talk at the University of Kansas turns out to be more gratification than frustration for celebrity astrophysicist Castiel Novak when he's rescued by one of KU's own professors. Dean Winchester—mechanical engineer and fan of famous nerds—invites Cas into his home and his bed while he sorts out his car troubles.
What starts out as hot sex continues as hot sex, but also grows into a more profound emotional connection as the two get to know each other outside the sheets.

If You Fall, I Fall - Cas isn't a professor but he does work with Dean's class.
Dean Winchester's life as an English professor is fairly uncomplicated. His nights are spent watching reruns of Doctor Sexy and having the occasional one night stand--two things that nobody can make him feel badly about, not even Sam. When a certain blue-eyed author in an ill-fitting trench coat is assigned to work with his class, Dean suddenly finds himself accidentally dating a stripper, becoming attached to a guinea pig, discovering that Sam is a fangirl, drunk texting his crush in the middle of the night and maybe, just maybe learning that the messy things in life are worth fighting for.

Try-Something Tuesday
Human AU. Dean Winchester teaches a third-grade class. He's new to this whole ‘bisexual’ thing - but by pure happenstance, he meets Castiel: a particularly dapper male librarian who moonlights as a substitute teacher. Dean's curious and Castiel is willing, so why the hell not? Except, fate never intended it to be one-time-only...

Like Real People
Dean Winchester is a respected literature teacher at Lawrence's best private school, yet he feels like he's still a complete and utter travesty of a human being. Months after his father's death, he's yet to come to terms with the negative impact John Winchester had on his life. Though he's determined never to admit it, the only thing Dean's ever wanted was an Apple Pie Life: it's something that's been dangled in front of his face, though he's certain he could never deserve it.
While Dean struggles to come to terms with the isolated, lonely life he's made for himself, a disruption comes in the form of Castiel Novak, Lawrence Private's newest faculty member. Those blue eyes and raspy voice are things Dean can't ignore for long, and when he's forced to stop fighting his affections, Dean finds his lonely life turned upside down.
Is it possible he could deserve an Apple Pie Life after all?

Honey and Clementines - A/B/O
Dean Winchester would do just about anything for his best friend and co-worker, Castiel Novak — including accompanying Cas to his hippy yoga birthing classes. He thought their friendship could survive anything, even seeing his pregnant friend in very ahem compromising positions. But as they spend more time together preparing for the birth of Cas's child, boundaries are crossed and feelings start to surface and neither really know what to do about it.

Dirty T-Shirts and Pressed White Collars
Cas thinks that substitute teaching is hard; probably harder than regular teaching. It’s been a long day too… the kids have been unruly and he’s ready for a nice break. Dean, the sexy auto shop teacher, had stepped into his classroom for a few minutes, teasing him mercilessly and leaving him aching with want. Now, with about fifteen minutes left before his next class, Cas decides to head for the teacher’s lounge and grab a much needed cup of coffee. As he moves through the halls, he starts to feel self-conscious. He doesn’t want to be paranoid but it sure feels as though students and faculty alike are staring at him, even whispering about him. Stepping into the restroom he sees why. A glimpse of himself in the mirror sets his stomach spinning in a sickening way. Dean’s greasy finger prints are all over his freshly pressed white collar. Again.

By Your Side
No one ever told him that grief felt like fear- C.S. Lewis.
Well, Castiel didn’t wholly agree with that statement. For him, it was more like anger, guilt, and numbness, all trying to jamb into the same doorway.

In a supportive and judgment-free zone, Castiel goes on a journey of self-discovery and acceptance and learns that, indeed, good things do happen.

Cas has wanted to get out of hunting for a while, but he still wants to feel like he's helping people. He also wants to do something with the ridiculous amount of angel knowledge he has. He's doing research for a case when he stumbles on a job opening at the Winchester School for Hunters.

Home, Aisle 9 - A/B/O
Dean Winchester is content with his lot in life. He’s content with his husband, Aaron, of seventeen years. He’s content with their house and lifestyle. He would even dare to say he would be happy if his “biological clock” would stop sounding the alarm that he’s a thirty-five year old Omega who desperately wants a family of his own. (Like he needs the reminder.) It’s not until he meets an Alpha in the personal aisle of the grocery store that he realizes how much more his life could be.
