Summary
The constant moving around and general lack of real connections were never great. But being stranded in Lawrence, forced to stay in place until his dad comes for him, is worse. Especially once someone starts hunting him.
Going to the police is in every conceivable way a terrible plan. Accepting personal help from a severely overinvolved cop is quite possibly an even worse one. Above all because Dean is up to his neck in illicit activities and police-related trauma. But maybe, just once, it would be nice to have someone look out for him.

Summary
In the hay loft of an old barn, two lost boys find each other.
The first time, they’re children, with their fathers’ bruises on their bodies and a connection that wasn’t meant to be.
A decade later, the bruises have solidified, sunk into their bones. Dean carries it like a thin veneer of devil-may-care attitude, using it as a shield from anything too real spilling out. In Cas it swirls as a smoky darkness under the white shirt and silver cross of being the pastor’s son.
Their connection still isn’t meant to be, but Dean can’t stay away, even if the friendship threatens to destroy both of them.

Summary
As a kid, Dean’s dreams were pretty straightforward: food, a roof over his head, and maybe – if he really let himself dream big – a family that wouldn’t kick him out the second he became more trouble than he was worth. College? Not on his radar. Suddenly he’s here, though – on a football scholarship and faced with the possibility that this time he might get to stay.
For someone more well-adjusted it would be a dream come true. For Dean it’s a nightmare of desperately keeping up appearances while he’s drowning in other people’s expectations.
At least until a game of Truth or Dare sends him face-first into the arms of Castiel Novak. Senior. Resident (ex-)drug dealer. Obnoxious literature major. Heavily tattooed and everything Dean is trying to leave behind.
Dean needs a favor and Castiel is all too willing to deliver. Unfortunately the offer comes with strings attached that go well beyond the fake relationship that Castiel asks for in return.

Summary
The angels disappeared from the world thirty years ago. That’s why, when they choose the Aquarian Star to escort a garrison to Stull, Dean is suspicious. But a job is a job, and he needs money to put Sam through the prestigious Academy, so he goes along with the job. The job, however, becomes more difficult when Dean starts to become suspicious of what cargo the angels are really carrying to Stull. And further investigation proves that he is correct: the angels’ cargo is a person.
Forbidden from making any kind of contact, Dean nonetheless tirelessly investigates the mystery behind the angels’ mission as well as that of their cargo — a man named Castiel.
