Summary
Dean Winchester knows two things about hockey, two things his dad made sure he knew. One, hockey is a guy’s sport, and two, hockey is family. Hockey meant Sam and Bobby and Benny and Victor and Gabriel and hell, his entire team. So when Victor gets traded, Russian-star-turned-new-teammate Castiel Krushnic becomes a threat. As much as Dean hates him for that, the longer he sticks around, the more he begins to threaten that first rule too. Dean’s been taught his whole life that those who play hockey should not be captivated by deep accented voices and the way a guy handles his stick, so how the hell is he supposed to justify what he’s starting to think about Cas? All Dean wanted at the beginning of the season was to win, and now all he wants to do is figure out how he feels about Cas and how to deal with it without ruining his career and tearing his family apart.

Summary
Thanks to a twist of fate (or cosmic joke?), Dean Wincester is now co-owner of Motel California, a barely-hanging-on spot in the middle of nowhere. It all started when Chuck thrust the papers at him, yelling, “It’s yours!” Sure, the place was a dump and his confidence was shot after 15 years behind bar, but maybe, just maybe, he could turn the motel into, well, something?
Turns out redemption runs right through the local oddballs in the neighborhood. There’s Charlie, the relentless firecracker—ready to brighten his mood no matter how grumpy he gets; Kelly, the cleaner with her pint-sized philosopher of a kid; Billie and Mort who run the diner down the road, where the food’s greasy enough to give you a heart attack; Bobby and Rufus, the record store sages who preach classic rock like it’s gospel; and Claire, the perpetually grumpy shopworker who terrifies Dean more than prison ever did. Then there’s the enigmatic Castiel—piercing blue eyes, arriving every month like clockwork, alone yet never lonely.
Dean’s finding that maybe there’s a place for him in this world after all. And Castiel? Well, he might be Dean’s shot at something real—if Dean can finally figure out who he was and who he might still become.
