Summary
Or, a year in the life of Dean Winchester
Dean’s bi: sexual and polar. He’s got a string of hospitalizations under his belt. He’s a felon. He’s got a secret. And he just might have a crush on the wry, socially awkward, and devastatingly handsome artist who lives in the apartment below his. But Dean doesn’t have friends, and he certainly doesn’t have relationships. He has what his therapist Pam calls “impulsive, reckless sexual interactions.” His attempts at meaningful connection have resulted in ruined friendships, broken hearts, restraining orders, and lifechanging ramifications. Dean’s too focused on holding down a job and relearning how to live by himself after years of being babied by his little brother to worry about romance, right? Right.

Summary
Dean is fine. The way he sees it, things are simple. He had a house and a family and food in his stomach, and now he doesn't. And yeah, that's a downer, but he's not going to let that stop him from being fine, because he's in control of the situation. He definitely doesn't need anyone to save him. And it's not like the weird guy with the nice butt from down the road is the knight-in-shining-armor type, anyway.

Summary
Throughout the years, Dean had dabbled in his fair share of overindulgences—women, food, alcohol. Violence, even. When he needed something to do with his hands, he’d always known he could simply find any and all of these things at whatever local bar was nearby his and Sam's motel room.
And besides, the weight of a beer bottle against his palm doesn't really feel all that different from that of a gun’s grip, especially when the first time both of them had been placed into his hands had been by his father.
And he figures that the food thing came from his mother, maybe. Some of his earliest memories had been sitting at the counter in the kitchen while she cooked, thinking to himself that he'd eat whatever she put in front of him as long as they could be there, together, forever.
Or maybe he was always going to end up like this, and it wasn't his parents’ fault at all that he was fucked up.
No point in wondering. He'd never know.

OR: an exploration of Dean's relationship with food.

Summary
Castiel never expected to see Dean again after all this time, but he can't say he's mad about it when Dean looks this beautiful under a haze of neon lights. No words he's written about Dean over the years could compare. Something about Dean just seems different now, and Cas can't help but want to close the distance, to learn more about the enigma of Dean Winchester.
But Castiel has changed as well, his words and appearance gaining edge and confidence, and the walls he's built to protect his soft underbelly have grown tall.
Dean's been falling in love with the emo queer kid for as long as he can remember, and he regrets losing touch with him for years after being profoundly bonded, so now he's working to try and get him back. If only it were that simple. Does Cas want to know the person Dean is now?
Can they let each other in one more time to try?

Summary
After five long years of belonging to Alistair, Dean is finally free. The alpha is dead, and unless he gets bought by the end of the day, he will be too. He's thankful. It would take an insane alpha to look at him, at his age and how broken he is, and decide to buy him. After so long, the end is in sight, and he is ready for the peace of death.
Castiel on the other hand, does not want to be at the auction. His brothers dragged him along, declaring that they were finally going to make a proper alpha out of him, and get him an omega of his own. He hates his family and their views, but he can't bring himself to cut them off.
What will happen when these two paths cross? Is it possible they will find something new in each other? And may there actually be light at the end of the tunnel?

Summary
Castiel doesn’t know where the runaway in Dean has gone, but he’s not sure that man exists anymore. The omega in his backseat has been badly broken. He hasn’t said a word to Castiel; hasn’t protested aside from flinching, hasn’t even pleaded to be spared. He’s just… empty. Tired. Castiel can smell layers of fear, sour and old on the omega’s skin, an emotion so often felt that it’s now a permanent stain on his scent. He can only begin to imagine what Dean has been through to put him in this state of apathy.
At sixteen years old, Dean Winchester signed away his life in order to protect what he loves most. He's spent the last eleven years as the property of various alphas, each crueler than the last. Purchased by a new master that promises him nothing but safety, his life is about to dramatically change - and with any luck, it will be for the better.Series

Summary
For as heavenly as he had smelled, the omega looked a lot like Castiel needed to leave. His brows were drawn down over the bridge of his nose, his teeth bared in an angry snarl. Even with rusty people skills, Castiel could tell the omega felt threatened.
Castiel started to back away, not wanting the omega to see him as a threat. He had no right to be in the alley or impose on the omega’s space.
But something about the omega felt familiar, underneath the layers of dirt and a beard that needed a trim and a solid wash. Even though Castiel knew he had never scented that man before, he also knew they had met at some point.
Then it clicked.
