Summary
Dean Winchester has spent his whole life cleaning up his father's messes. Now that his little brother, Sam, is settled in California and Bobby's got a handle on the garage, they convinced Dean to finally do something for himself. After a chance encounter at the Air Force recruitment fair Sam dragged him to, Dean got hooked on air traffic control, and he gets stationed at Kansas City Tower for his final leg of training. There, he has to impress his on-job instructor Castiel Novak, the ex-Air Force captain who piqued his interest in ATC in the first place. (And only in ATC. He swears. Those blue eyes and dark hair and stupid hat have nothing to do with it.) If all that wasn't hard enough, just one week into his OJT, Dean gets a call telling him his father is dying and has to move back home to live out his final days-which could be more like years.
Dean has to decide whether to continue to let his life be defined by his father's mistakes and his misguided obligation to everyone else, or if he's brave enough-and strong enough-to find a life in his own shape.

Summary
Cas comes back. It's not exactly the reunion that Dean is expecting.
~~~
Dean stares at him, flummoxed. Cas quite literally poured his heart out to Dean, gave a truly sappy and distressingly romantic speech and everything, then proceeded to give his life so that Dean could live his. And he wants to act like he doesn't want to see Dean, be around him, touch him?
Actually, Dean's ninety-nine percent sure that Cas probably wants to fuck him, and while he has no clue how he feels about that, he's pretty goddamn sure that means Cas doesn't get to act like this and make it authentic.
It feels strangely real, though, as if Cas wants nothing more than to get as far away from him as possible. This is a blatant contradiction. Even someone as weird as Cas doesn't want to get away from the person they have the desire to fuck five ways to Sunday, that they're in love with. That's not how these things work, so Dean isn't buying it.

Summary
“Don’t come any closer."
The man stops his approach. “Or you’ll… throw a book at me?”
The stranger’s eyes follow the chain from Dean’s ankle to the wall and then centers back to him and the book. He can practically hear the guy thinking something like, ‘what good is a book gonna do you when you’re chained up like an animal?’
“Are you gonna kill me?” Dean hesitantly looks up. It’s a little disorienting to be met with the biggest kicked-puppy-eyes he’s ever seen before. He didn’t expect that sort of expression on the face of someone who was choking a guy to death a few minutes ago.
---
After getting kicked out from home, Dean lives on the streets selling himself to survive, only to get kidnapped and imprisoned. His savior comes in the form of a man murdering his kidnapper. Not wanting to go back to his lonely, homeless life, he seeks out this mysterious stranger to try and find somewhere he can belong.
Or: Dean is saved by Cas. Cas doesn't want anyone to find out he's a serial killer, so he tries his best to stay hidden. Dean follows him anyway.

Summary
“Do you seek absolution?”
Dean tilted his head, his smirk widening.
“Nah,” he said, watching Castiel’s throat bob as he swallowed again. “I think I like being a sinner.”
The silence between them stretched, thick as molasses, heavy as a storm about to break.
And then Castiel saw the Devil and God all at once.
**
Dean Winchester doesn’t know what compels him to come to church—maybe it’s the way Father Castiel watches him from the pulpit, the way his voice drips with restraint, the way he looks like he could be ruined. What starts as a game of confessions and sinful whispers becomes something far more dangerous, unraveling Castiel’s faith thread by thread. Dean, relentless and intoxicating, tempts him beyond reason, teasing, pushing, worshiping. Castiel fights, resists, but his body betrays him, his God mocks him, and Dean? Dean doesn’t stop until Castiel falls completely.

Summary
Sam makes one last deal.
Cas comes back. And Dean gets him back. And together they get something.
Something about humanity, about living even when it hurts, especially because it hurts. About building a home for loss inside your chest, and making your heart a place where the dead live when they die. About being selfish, about belonging, about deserving both. About choice, and a life lived, and learning to lay down arms so that your hands might hold something softer.
