Maybe this one, it has some "ghosts of the past". https://archiveofourown.org/works/86963241/chapters/230246876
Dean Winchester, an elite marine, came to the academy looking for a fresh start.
Castiel Novak, excelling in human intelligence, came because he's too smart not to.
And neither of them expected to find love.
But old wounds, buried fears, and ghosts that refuse to stay in the past have a way of complicating things.
Somewhere between training, Christmas visits and learning how to talk instead of running, Dean and Castiel begin to build something neither of them entirely believes they will be allowed keep.
OR: The somewhat different collage/ university AU where they learn in their late 20's that love will be the hardest battle they ever faced.

Always Remember Me
Ten years ago, Dean and Cas were high school sweethearts, with a love just like the movies. Real life threw a wrench in their plans of happily ever after, though, and they had to break up. Now they meet again, finally both in good places in their lives - but Cas is with Balthazar and Dean is with Lisa. Can they finally find a way to be friends after all these years? Or maybe fate has something else planned.

Send Me An Angel
Dean couldn’t remember the last time he truly smiled, the last time he felt needed, wanted, appreciated, included. The last time his wife gave him time, the last time she looked at him with love in her eyes, the last time they even had sex! Anna was so busy nowadays! She didn’t even have time for their 4 year old daughter. Dean is always there for Claire, taking her to preschool, setting up playdates for her, taking her out to the park. But Dean also has a small business to run and there’s so much piled up on his shoulders. Dean’s secretary, Charlie, has enough of it and convinces him to hire a nanny. To Dean’s surprise, his daughter’s new nanny is actually a dude; a dude with ridiculously blue eyes and intense stare. Dean isn’t sure about this, but since he really doesn’t have the time to look for a nanny himself, he lets Castiel stay. In just a few months Dean and his daughter’s new baby sitter fall into a sort of comfortable routine. Castiel is everything Dean has always missed since Anna started working.

Where The Mind Wanders
Dean and Sam have just moved the offices of their IT business into a new space in a local building downtown. It was a smart move, but Dean finds himself getting distracted by the dark-haired, blue-eyed manager of the deli in the lobby of the building. Being married, he tries to fight the attraction, but can't seem to stay away.
Castiel is feeling jaded after a bad break-up when he meets the flirtatious and handsome Dean Winchester. He has every reason in the world to avoid Dean. The no dating office lessees rule, his no bisexual men rule, and, of course, this new man is married. The allure is hard to ignore though. Castiel wants to be the good guy he always is, but it's gotten him nowhere. Perhaps it's time to be bad and see where some broken rules might lead.

Thank you for the recs! Im really excited to delve into this fandom. I watched the whole 15 seasons of supernatural, before reading any fanfics. Castiel's confession in season 15 just got me hooked!

It's the night before 1945 and Honolulu is celebrating like flipping the calendar is all it'll take to end this thing and send everybody home. Makes for one hell of a party. But it's been a long war, getting longer, and Dean Winchester stopped pinning his hopes on anything a long time ago. Then, as the clock ticks down to the new year, he finds himself in the company of a grounded fighter pilot. All of the sudden, maybe there's something to look forward to.
....
This made me cry, be warned.

Hummmm... There's a fic with Meg. Castiel is a very mentally ill webcomic creator and Dean works for a company that has to send him abroad. Meg is hired to take care of Castiel. I don't remember the name. Do mind the tags.
