Summary
Dean Winchester never expected much from life. His mother abandoned her sons to be raised by their drunk, abusive father. Dean dropped out of school to take care of the family, but they were barely getting by, so when a handsome stranger came along, offering him a way out... Well, even if things weren’t perfect, he wasn’t going to risk losing a good thing.
So what if Lee was a mean drunk — it wasn’t anything Dean hadn’t seen from his father his whole life. So what if sometimes he was a bit too rough — Dean’s tough, he can take it. And so what, if sometimes things got a bit out of hand when Lee’s friends came around — Lee doesn’t seem to mind. In fact, sometimes he asks Dean to ‘take care of them’. (It was fine. It was all fine.)
Enter grad student Castiel, who is instantly intrigued by the kind, quiet mechanic with the sad eyes. The more he gets to know Dean, the more he learns about his heartbreaking past and even more heartbreaking present, the more he feels like he’s fallen into something he can’t walk away from.
Dean doesn’t believe he deserves to be saved, because he never thought to ask. Can Castiel be the one to pull him out of hell?
Title inspired by: Fast Car by Tracy Chapman

Summary
Wealthy, handsome, and very single Dean Winchester wanted to be CEO of his family's wine business. But in order to be considered for the position, he signed a contract with a clause that he had to be married wholeheartedly for at least a year by the eighty-fifth anniversary of the company, which was when his grandfather would name the next CEO. Guess who put it off until the last minute? But hey, he already arranged to marry one of his employees, no problem...well, no problem until she didn't show up, anyway.
The random employee he dragged along to witness the wedding had a solution.

Summary
Dean Winchester fixes things. Keeps his head down. Follows orders, mostly. Doesn’t ask questions. He can’t afford to, not with a father watching his every move, a brother he’s desperate to protect, and a past sealed behind a NDA.
So when a repair job sends him to a brothel on the edge of town, he tells himself it’s just work. Just another job.
But the android he’s sent to fix doesn’t behave like the others. It looks at him too long. Hesitates before it speaks. And when it touches him, Dean forgets that machines aren’t supposed to feel.
He knows better than to get involved. He does it anyway.
Now he’s tangled in something bigger. He’ll have to decide if being human is about what you’re made of or the choices you make.

Summary
Former child star Castiel Novak has played one role his entire life: actor. He grew up in front of the camera and continues to act now that he’s an adult. He doesn’t love it, but it’s the only life he knows.
His co-star, Dean Winchester, is new to the industry and clearly has no idea what he’s doing or what it means to be famous.
Cas just hopes Dean doesn’t screw everything up.
