Summary
This is the prequel to the entire Ugly Sweater ‘Verse – everything that came before. It’s how the apocalypse never happened, it’s how Sam met Sarah, it’s how Dean ended up living with Cas in a tiny studio apartment in Media, Pennsylvania. Dean and Cas are not in love. There are no ugly sweaters. It’s everything before.
[This prequel was written months and months after the series started and the story still completely makes sense if you skip this part! If the angst is too much, you can pass right on onto the fluff]

Summary
If they really go back and think about it... it all started with a tree. A Christmas tree, that is. Castiel is human now, and the apocalypse is not only over, it's been averted. Sam's away at NYU, finally finishing law school, and Dean's stuck in what is probably the most awkward situation of his life. He's not exactly sure how he ended up sharing a flat with Cas in Media, Pennsylvania, but he does know the curious would-be angel is sort of derailing his plans for a life of decadence and booze. Cas is trying to make the best of his humanity by exploring human holidays. Dean can't exactly complain because he's pretty much the reason Cas got his wings clipped in the first place.
Dean didn't actually want to fall in love, but how was he supposed to know it would all start with a goddamn tree?
[Essentially gratuitous, self-indulgent Christmas fluff.]

Castiel has never had sex before, but he firmly believes that no one in the world has ever felt like this. There's something powerful between them, an incredible force, forged in the very deepest depths of hell. Each time Castiel rocks back and forth, pushes his body in and out, it's like that bond is renewed again and again. It's bliss.

Summary
Gratuitous porn, plain and simple. Dean finds out that Cas is actually a kinky son of a bitch... and that apparently works well with romance. No one ever said they were a conventional couple.

Summary
It's the Fourth of July, and no one does red, white, and blue like two decidedly unpatriotic hunters. Their mutual lack of nationalistic pride does nothing to deter Cas from going all star angel'd banner for the holiday, though. While spending a day in museums, rather than barbecuing, isn't exactly Dean's idea of a good time, he's gotta admit that Cas has a way of bringing out the fireworks in just about everything.

Summary
Dean Winchester has a whole lot to be thankful for this year. He's not exactly grateful for his ineptitude with feelings, though, but he's starting to see that good things and feelings are kind of a package deal.

Summary
“It seems that whenever it gets very cold, you give me wings.”
There’s something goddamn poetic about that, Dean thinks, and he’s never been one for poetry so he doesn’t reply verbally, just kisses Cas’ chapped and frozen lips. If Dean was one for poetry, he might have said something like, ‘You always give me wings, Cas.’
