    Summary

    Twenty-three years of head-over-heels, devastating devotion and love, love, love for the man with bright eyes and dark hair. Fourteen years of friends, best friends, of always together. One moment of rejection.

    Nine years of apart. Nine years of heartbreak, nine years of continents away, of not speaking, of no acknowledgement, no interaction, no closure, no peace. No happiness. Nine years of Dean’s life entering motions, going through them, constant, cold and mechanic, like clockwork. Nine years of alone.

    God. Nine years. A lot has changed. And yet Dean still loves Cas just the same. Even if his heart hurts all kinds of different.

     

    On the day of Jimmy Novak's funeral, Dean sees Cas for the first time in nine years. He adored Castiel the moment he met him, at only four years old. But after fourteen years of friendship destroyed by one moment of heartbreak, and after nine years of silence, Dean is convinced Cas will want nothing to do with him. And it's killing him.

    Summary

    Dean Winchester was happy to leave the pain of high school behind and move to California to be with his best friend, Cas Novak. Ten years later, the past is dredged up again when he receives an invitation to his high school reunion. He's reluctant to attend because, while he's been successful in many areas of his life, he's yet to settle down with a romantic partner. Cas offers to attend with him, and after they are mistaken for a couple multiple times, suggests that they could pretend to be a couple for the reunion. Dean is only too happy to agree. During their week in their hometown, a series of events pushes both Dean and Cas to closely examine the feelings they've pushed aside for years.

    Summary

    Castiel Novak is an inmate at a labour camp. Life is brutal and no one ever gets out. Castiel’s only goal is to go unnoticed by the barbaric guards, and the violent inmates. Dean Winchester is a soldier without a purpose since the civil war ended. Dean accepts an assignment at a labour-camp, under the mentorship of Alistair, the Commander. From the start, Dean and Castiel are drawn to each other, and their relationship develops in a way that changes their lives. But Alistair has his own plans for Dean, and Castiel is a complication. When Alistair fails to separate them through threats and violence, he turns to manipulation; feeding Dean’s confusion about his feelings for Castiel, and goading him into a terrible act in order to break him. As Dean and Castiel try to fight back, they uncover secrets that are more far-reaching than they ever imagined. In such a dangerous world, can they ever be together? Can they even survive?

    A dystopian, alternate-history (diverging after the Great Depression in 1933) AU, set in America in 1950.

    Summary

    There is no such thing as a guarantee when it comes to war.

    The outcome's known. Why try?
    Return your rusty sword to battered sheath,
    bow your head and bend your stubborn knee. Why
    take the field when you cannot win the war?
    But Harry -- he went down to Agincourt.
    --Harry Takes the Field by bratfarrar (AO3 link here.)
