Summary
“You like the dirty mechanic look, Cas?” Dean says, winking.
Cas steps back to let him in. “Not particularly.”
Dean’s grin falls. He swipes an arm over his sweaty forehead. “Well, get used to it, bud, ‘cause I’m your neighborhood dirty mechanic on the days I’m not the neighborhood drunken arsonist.”

Summary
Dean’s hands have made many beautiful things. The wings of an angel, swan’s necks that contort into complex shapes, spikes of metal that pierce the heart. But as far as Cas is concerned, the most powerful thing he’s ever created is an unassuming pot-bellied mug.
Contemplations of an artist.
(Can be read as a stand-alone if you like.)

Summary
Dean Winchester may have a reputation for being a skilled craftsman and blacksmith, but his life is just like anyone else’s. He’s over-worked and under-slept, and it’s all because of the niggling feeling in the back of his mind that tells him he’s… forgetting something. Still, he can’t let his weird dreams or errant thoughts get in the way of his work and his love for his craft. The strange feeling goes ignored.
That is, until he meets a man with jewel-blue eyes and an aura of intrigue. Castiel slots into his life in a way that Dean had never thought possible, and Dean grows accustomed to the mysterious man’s visits and brilliant smiles and tales of far-away places.
He’d never known he was missing a piece of himself until he met Castiel, and he thinks that Cas might feel the same way.
Until Castiel disappears from Dean’s life completely.

Summary
As an abuse survivor and someone juggling depression, anxiety, and family issues, Castiel Novak isn't looking for new friends right now, let alone a relationship. And as for Dean Winchester? He's too busy trying to keep up on bills and can't find time to sleep, let alone process the chasm between him and his family.
One strange night involving a rescue from a bar fight and recovery in an ER later, their lives are both forever altered.
Separately, Cas and Dean each have broken pieces, fragments from their past fallen along the way, but somehow two half-formed sections can fit better together-- and they can sew the missing pieces back.

Summary
Dean Winchester was happy in Hell.
Castiel was content in Heaven.
But, the passing of a century changed that, calling upon an ancient contract drawn up between Heaven and Hell, a cease fire between both worlds. In order for the contract to be seen through, a demon and angel must defy natural order and carry out a bond by mating.
And suddenly, Dean Winchester wasn't so happy in Hell.
Castiel was no longer content in Heaven.
Called down to Earth to see through an impossible task, the tension between them is enough to show that the bond can't be carried out, not with Dean so stubborn and Castiel impossible to reach. But, something has to shift between them in order to carry things through; Heaven and Hell depend on them…

Summary
Dean and Cas have a furniture and woodmaking business out east. Mostly they cater to the locals but there's just enough of a niche that they get some tourist business too. When a couple comes in to ask about having a sign made, it leads to questions about the sign Dean had made after he and Cas had gotten married, and that brings back some fond memories.

Summary
Dean Smith’s a hard-working omega who’s got it all. A nice apartment, a good job with an upcoming promotion, friends and family who care about him. Hell, he’s even got some alpha buddies to help him out during the worst of his heats. The only thing he doesn’t have is a steady relationship, but Dean’s more of a married to his work kind of guy. Which is what he keeps telling himself over and over once the new guy, Castiel, starts flirting with him.
Oh, and did I mention Dean’s an omega who can’t smell? That tends to complicate the whole “relationship” thing when everyone’s sniffing around for their true mate.

Summary
It’s a stupid thought, Dean knows. But given the amount of downtime they’ve had recently, and how many sleepless nights he’s spent alone in his room staring at the ceiling, his mind can’t help but wander there on occasion, a gnat that won’t leave him alone.
Castiel, I want you to touch my soul.
